What Country should it be held?

Disapointinlgy VBullitin only allows 10 options, so Sweden and Poland have been scrapped.

TROD.

I voted England:ewan:

I voted for france, im sick of playing Small english teams.

yeh, i say france aswell because i'm tired of playing in England, Germany, Spain etc.

I want a fresh challenge.

I voted Poland.

(You can add 2 options when you go to edit the poll after creating it, that way you can make the list as long as you want it :))

At the moment were all fulfilling Gerard Houliers dream in managing a team full of second rate french players. :)

I voted Greece. I hope France doesn't win. I have played so long in france already now.

BTW can the start wait till next friday, so I can participate in it. Don't have time the coming week, but after that, I have too much time(H)

edit: Tom, I'm prepared to help counting peoples points etc. But as said before only after nex friday...

Moya lyubov' slovno ptitsa, katoraya gotova vzvit'sya vvyshinu

i have voted for France in the country poll.

i have herd about this challenge and it sounds really good, i cant wait to get it up and going.

I cannot make a decision :$

Holland, Portugal or Greece? :(

I feel that we have to hold this challenge in one of the big countries, if only to keep interest high.
I will play whatever the team but looking at the older challenges peoples interest dies away quickly.
So come on guys, forget about these lesser countries and keep the challenge in one of the big 4/5 countries, if not we will be left with a boring spectacle with only a handful of partipants.

well, mostly if there's a challenge you get points for promoting, winning a cup etc. You need to give a points system to decide a winner. It's mostly like that. Other there's no use in a challenge.

for example if I win the cup I get 50 points.

See my point now?

So, when do you guys think we'll get this thing started?

Bah looks like France won:kader:

Come on guys it'll still be a good spectacle in France, and besides it's not over yet.

The game is gonna suck once you get your team to be good and are in the French first divison where there are only 2 good teams:kader: The league will become easier then ever after a couple of season and good singings thats why i was hoping for a big league so when you get to say EPL then Man Utd and Arsenal etc are there and its hard.

Even if that does happen then we will have to shift our sights and aim for european success.
And besides if we start at a lower enough division it will take long enough to get to the first division for it to be mightyly interesting.

Well, I'm in 2009 with Strasbourg, and the league is very easy every year. I still enjoy it though.

Exactly, and with the competition between all of us, i think that it will definitely remain interesting.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RUSSSSIIIIIIAAAA Just tied:rockman: :hump: (H) :mrpimp: :confused: ;) :D

This is getting dodgy, within 12 minutes of Zidane posting, Russia have just gained 2 or 3 votes, your not multi voting are u zidane? :confused:

I dont think multi voting is possible:confused: Plus i voted for England:hump: :read:

Zidane, why are you so happy, i woyld have thought that the Russian leagues would be easier than the French ones.
At least France has some good teams, Russia don't even have one. We will sweep past the moscow teams and go on to glory in Russia very easily.
I don't see why you are so pleased???

Anyway, Zidane, it doesn't matter anymore because FRance have done it now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its beetween France and Russia now. When does this vote end anyway?

It hasn't been open 24 hours even, what's the rush? :S
I think another day would be good.

Russian leagues seem pretty popular indeed, who would have thought :o

Yeh i would never have thought it, probably to have a change.

Im just excited about starting, thats all.

Well Russia would be more difficult because A. the teams suck so you wont get a good one, B. Not a good reputation so players dont wanna join your club making it hard C. I have never played in Russia either thats why:hump:

P.S. It looks like its just between France and Russia now.:)

Please not France, anything but France (U ppl have no idea xcept prolly PSV and the few others who play in France)

portugal

my god its going into all out bloody chaos here, will everyone 'bigging-up' their countries shut up, you've voted FINE!!!!!!!!!

Cody, on the other challenges we havent counted points, we've just done it as a freindly game and then discussed how we've all done. Im DEFINATLY not counting any points, because cheating is such a big problem but if you want to then fine, by all means do.

The vote will close in a bit. (theres an SI answer for you)

I hope no-one as been fiddiling with the results, e.g. Ill be a little suspicous if Greece suddenly get 10 votes..

TROD.

looks like cheese is winning anyway! muhahahaha!

okay then, no points, mostly when I see a challenge they have a point system, but you've got a good point about cheating.

I wanted to vote cheese too btw, it's unfair:kader:

i dont know who could possibly have voted that many times? tut tut. Anyway, all im saying Cody is that you cant stop people from cheating, however hard you try. MCM0304 has hardened the job as well.

Ill close the poll tomorrow (UK time)

TROD.

Come on guys you got to score the challenge or the interest level would be too low, not as many people would go through with the challenge.

nope, i wont beacuse of cheating, Cody can if he wants, im not, ive done all this before.

TROD.

Yes, there is no control to see if anyone cheated, so the result would be doubtful anyway.

hence, im not doing that.

TROD.

Meh, I think you're right anyways about cheating. You won this time:(

Come on guys, be real, if people are gonna cheat, then they are gonna cheat, nothing is going to stop them. What's the point of ruining it for everyone else just for the odd couple that can't play the game without cheating.
The way i see it is that you aren't really changing it that much, cheaters are still going to cheat.

I maybe will, but then some thing has to happen so France wont win. Because then I'm not participating in the challenge and I won't be counting votes of something I don't participate in.

Okay, france won't win, Poo will, but you'll get my point:crazyboy:

Wats that "Not cheese poo" mean?

'Someone' added cheese to the poll, but I disagreed...

Russia on 5 now as well, and Poland on 4 :D Exciting times!
(For the record, I didn't change the votes in the poll. In case you wondered...)

oh dont be so naive! People cheat for attention, and to be noticed you have to do something to be noticed, proving that you did really well true points and facts proves this, and you get lots of praise. Doing it our way you have people make opinions on how you do, its not set in stone - Fortunately here at SG we arnt monkeys so it aint exactly difficult to see a cheat from a bit off.

Another thing, if we made stats it would make it too competitive, when the Quarterly Challenge was first created long before you came to these forums it was meant to be a fun idea, something that everyone could participate in. NOT A COMPETITION, that wasn’t the idea, and it isn’t now.

However, unfortunately some people feel the need to be competitive, feel the need to win everything. These people ruin things for everyone else. They will strive to win at WHATEVER COST, however big the prize is (praise, money, RECOGNITION). I emphasize 'whatever cost' and 'recognition' because they go hand in hand, we all know that even if we do not 'allocate stats for wins etc' we will still get cheats, but by NOT doing this it means they will not get the recognition that they oh so want.

It is the same principle as in postboosting, people postboost to gain respect, to gain recognition, and will do it at whatever cost, no matter how short the post they will still reply. Just to be known as "a big poster". As is the same with life, everyone attention seeks, and no matter how hard we all try to stop people doing so, they will inevitably win, terrorists are attention seekers, we wont ever stop terrorism. Its a losing battle that where only damage limitation is the best thing to come out of it. Hence the best way to stop attention seeking is to stop paying attention to them.

HENCE, why we are not doing a statistical system which will draw attention to cheats, this way, no-one is 'clarified' as the top dog, or crowned the champion.

TROD.

Someone edited the results of this poll.

No one voted for the last Cheese option. And Russia really has only 4 votes, not 5. The rest is right, I think.

Who put Cheese not Poo. Both are catch phrases of mine, who stole them> I WANT ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i put cheese, and someone altered that.

Kader you're wrong, no-one tampered with the Russia vote, therefore its 5, not 4.

TROD.

i put cheese in for a joke, but i fail to believe that poland has actually had 5 votes, im closing the poll now, making France the winner.

TROD.

TRUST ME.

4 users voted for Russia. I have the power to check those things.

ah right, sorry mate.

Right then, which dickhead changed the poll then?

i added cheese for a joke, it was clearly a joke. Adding points on to proper choices is very twatish. Fortunatly it didnt matter overall

TROD.
