HTML Apolyton 5-a-side football (in development)

BTW, I might have missed it, but when does a game end?

After:
X-turns,
X-goals,
Team A/B scores X goals
other?

You're thinking of rugby football. Typical.

Basically, my idea is that rather than have only 15 squares, as Jamski's pitch does, you have 35. A lot more space to move about in, and if you can pass 2 squares away, then use of space will become more important. Also crosses from the wings will be possible.

When everyone is sent off.

Not when you can have infinite subs

The game ends when rah closes the thirteenth or so thread only consisting of players posting "sent", and making jibes about other football teams.

You can't substitute a player who's been sent off. If you can, then the whole idea of ejection and numerical advantage for the opponent disappears.

You don't play Civ PBEm games do you.

That's why I said 13 threads, not just the twelve it would take in other forums.

I know that. In this game there's nothing like an instant red card, so you can always sub the persons who are almost there out.

We can play first team to score 3 or something. Let's keep it simple for the moment though. I'm happy to have long passing, and I'm happy to change the size of the pitch - but too big will make the games slow. This is 5-a-side, not saturday at 3 If you play 5-a-side its a fast, physical game with loads of pushing and shoving and a goal every 3 minutes. You hardly have time on the ball. Its just pass or run and see what happens.

Great fun

COME ON! One more person join up!!!!!!
