Hear me out here.

The premise: Using Football (that's SOCCER, people) Manager 2005, I load up all the European leagues included in the game (34) and toss 16 unsuspecting users (including myself, so really 15 spots) into the game world to see which of us can win trophies/championships and which of us will be floating from job to job, getting fired every couple of months. Every few months (game time) I'll post a little update showing how everyone's doing and who made a complete ass of themselves. Which is why this is in Craziness because I'm sure I can come up with ways some people are bribing the refs and such. Doesn't really fit anywhere else because it's not really... you know, interactive.

So if you're interested in taking part... well... this is all you have to do. Just fill out a form. No commitment after that, no extra things to do past this aside from read the thread. It couldn't be easier. We'll start at 16 in the game and then if things go well and if (God forbid) more people want to be in then I can add more managers to the game.

The form.

Name: (You could use your real name, your board name, something not too stupid... your choice. I'd prefer one of the first two options.)
Date of Birth: (Well this should be obvious.)
Nationality: (Again, fairly obvious.)
Favorite Team: (OPTIONAL. If there's a team you really like, then by all means put them in here. If not or you don't know anything, then leave it blank. Favorite team does NOT have to be the same as the starting team.)

Starting Team: Well, this is the big one.

Teams are available in the following competitions:

Austria: Bundesliga, 1. Liga
Belarus: Highest League, First League
Belgium: Eerste Klasse, Tweede Klasse
Bulgaria: "A" PFG, "B" PFG
Croatia: 1. HNL, 2. HNL
Czech Republic: Gambrinus Liga, Druha Liga

Denmark: Superligaen, First Division
England: Premiership, Championship, League One, League Two, Conference
Finland: Veikkausliiga, Ykkonen
France: Ligue 1, Ligue 2
Germany: 1. Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga
Greece: National A Division, National B Division
Holland: Eredivisie, Eerste Divisie
Hungary: Division I, Division I B
Iceland: Urvalsdeild, 1. Deild
Ireland: Premier Division, First Division
Israel: Ligat Ha'Al, Liga Leumit
Italy: Serie A, Serie B
Northern Ireland: Premier Division, First Division
Norway: Tippeligaen, First Division
Poland: 1. Liga, 2. Liga
Portugal: Super Liga, Liga Honra
Romania: Divizia A, Divizia B
Russia: Premier League, First Division
Scotland: Premier League, First Division, Second Division, Third Division
Serbia & Montenegro: Prva Liga, Druga Liga
Slovakia: Super Liga, II. Liga
Slovenia: 1. SNL, 2. SNL
Spain: Primera Division, Segunda Division
Sweden: Allsvenskan, Superettan
Switzerland: Super League, Challenge League
Turkey: Super Lig, 2. Lig A
Ukraine: Premier League, First Division
Wales: League of Wales

So you have three options.

- Tell me the team you want to start off with. Simple.
- If you're not too sure about things, pick a league/division that you want to start off at. Each of the leagues has been listed in order of prestige; for example, Serie A in Italy is more important than Serie B. I'll randomly assign you to a team then; it's a totally random draw so if you selected the English Premiership for instance, you could end up as Chelsea or Manchester City.
- Choose to start off unemployed; I'll immediately have you apply to every job available and you'll take the first one offered, although you'll likely end up at a small team and have to work your way up.

Manager Options: These are all optional, but if you want to set them you can.

Player Sales: Pick one (or none) of the three:

- Accept all offers for players (If anyone wants a player, you'll allow them to buy.)
- Only accept offers matching asking price (You'll only let another team buy a player if the price is right.)
- Reject all offers (You don't want to sell anyone.)

Apply for positions at higher-ranked clubs? (YES/NO; if you say yes, you'll always apply for jobs at "better" teams than the one you're at now, but you could also end up bouncing back and forth between jobs. If you say no, then I'll handle finding your next job once you're fired, at the time of the next update.)

Positions taken so far... (and I have ideas for a few teams for people who do sign up... just a couple, mind you)

- Colleen (CAN, Italy - Chievo Verona)
- blackhole89 (RUS, Iceland - IBV)
- LizardKing (NOR, Norway - Bodo/Glimt)
- Yoshi Dee (BRA, Poland - GKS Katowice)
- Dragon Master (SWE, Sweden - Djurgarden)
- Max (SWE, Sweden - Assyriska)
- Trapster (SWE, Portugal - Beira-Mar)
- NSNick (USA, Ireland - Dublin City)
- Danielle (USA, England - Derby County)
- Luigi-San (USA, Spain - Sevilla)
- Lilmario (IRL, Northern Ireland - Cliftonville)
- Emil Larsson (SWE, Sweden - Helsingborg)
- Thayer Langer (ISR, Israel - Zafririm Holon)
- Nick McCarthy (USA, Greece - Ionikos)
- The SomerZ (NOR, Norway - Tromso)
- MonopolyMan (USA, Romania - Unirea Urziceni)

Ashley - LOLGA 1 or 2?

Max - Favorite team is a team that you might really like, FM2005 lets you have it as a field. It could be that if that job ever comes up, they might let you have it since you're a big fan of the team. But it's totally optional, the field can be left blank.

General - OK, how can I explain this...

*uses example Trapster would know*

OK. You want a team in Sweden, let's say. So you could either:

- Pick a team that you know, like, I dunno... Malmo. Or AIK. Or...
- You can't decide on a team, so you pick a division and I give you a team in that league.

So for everyone that's said you want to play in IRELAND or ENGLAND *cough*, tell me what DIVISION you want to play in, or if there's a TEAM in that country you'd like to play as. (Some people got it, as did Trapster. )

List updated with who's in at the moment. I've already given you your team if you picked right, if not then fix or ask me.

I can make it simple.

Premiership - Best teams in England and some of the best teams in the world.
Championship - Good teams, nothing super great but some of them could become great if you are a good little owner.
League One/Two - Average teams that need a lot of work.
Conference - Semi-professional teams full of people who work as carpenters and plumbers and teachers on the side.

So if you want Championship, say OK and I'll give you a team.

Sure, I'll take Championship. "Best teams in the world" is a bit intimidating.
