HTML 'poly 5-a-side football THE GAME

[Jamski]

Its up to the captians and players what they want to do, when to introduce new rules etc. I'm happy to just do the calculations and post the pitches. Just remember the 20,000 character limit for HTML, so the pitch can't get much bigger and stay in colour.

I'll agree to whatever. However I'm not sure this game can work in it's present form no matter what the rules. I don't know how Zopperoni is faring but my team seem disinterested.

[Jamski]

You have Frozzy and Spaced, right?

Frozzy seems to be buried in schoolwork, and Spaced plays golf at the weekends, so that could be the problem.

It does seem that the game drags on too long without something really happening, and the current format could just as well be played with two people instead of ten.

[DrSpike]

Yes the game needs a better way to involve 10 players.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yeah, I don't feel like an individual with Doc giving the orders. No offense, Doc.

Maybe it is better with one person in charge of the team, just like the American football game that me and Zop are playing. That has made more headway in one day than this one has made since inception.

None taken. People were sending orders at the start, but they didn't gel, so I changed some of them. Then players don't feel like they want to send orders if they'll get changed, which leaves me just doing them. The game needs to give more power to the players somehow IMO.

[Frozzy]

Individual orders, perhaps? (i.e. you send in orders yourself, not to the captain)

[Jamski]

I thought the idea of the captians was to just collect the orders, not dictate them. I'd be happy if the captain was just looking at his teams orders, deciding what was the best move for himself to make, and sending them on.

I don't think the captians should be bossing the teams really.

I don't the captains are bossing, but since they have more info they are in a better place to make a call on what to do.

All the suggestions made so far by made more then enough sence to me to try and change them or question them.

However, I do agree with Frozzy on this. I think the less orgnised this game is the more fun it will be..
just my 0.00001 cent

Yeah but players have suggested roles for themselves sometimes, which will never work. So the only other option is for them to send a plan for the team, as some players did at the start. But then of course only one plan can be chosen, and seemingly over time no team members bother sending any thoughts. I'm not bossing so much as having no thoughts to draw upon.

[Rasputin]

sorry for my absence been a bit busy...

i happy with doc choosing best plan , and i usually send him my thoguhts to think about

[Jamski]

Well, we can dump captains all together and just have people send the orders to me.

There's nothing stopping a team confering, its a matter of choice then.

The game is missing a scissors paper rock element to it.

I think Jamski tried to implement that.
