Big Footy Football League??? (this is the original thread)

[Mobbs]

"Do you want to play a game?"

I wrote a simple QBasic game some years ago (still got it), whereby I enter team lists for a bunch of clubs, turn it into a league, and play a season.

The whole thing is based on random numbers. Therefore, anybody can play well or bad, anybody can win or lose, and all these roles can reverse themselves.

I'm suggesting that a bunch of yers get together and form some teams, give yerselves a team name, and let me know. I can create a league, play the matches (perhaps real time, at weekends) and run a season, posting results of matches here, with stats, goals, 3/2/1s, qtr by qtrs, all that sort of stuff.

I would say that any (pleasantish) name can be chosen for a team name, but try to use a sort of reasonable nickname, none of which are to be a nickname of an existing club. Well ... that's up to youse. But if yers are interested, please knock yer noggins together and submit me some teams.

Well, that's all I can give yer for now, its just a suggestion, please deliver unto me your thoughts. I'll answer any questions you have.

Mobbenfuhrer - Great Idea - but you know how us at lions.com.au were neanderthals?? well asking for those to contribute here gives you a bigger scientific specimen!! You wanna do it - go ahead - but hey did you get the email about your mirc trivia game??? we are awaiting a response!! we wanna start that one again!!

 

[Mobbs]

Danni,

The trivia game was created through pIRCh, not through mIRC. Someone's gonnah need pIRCh to be able to take it over ...

[Mobbs]

Okay, assuming this actually gets off the ground, I have thought of a couple of stipulations.

A player would need to be a registered poster, one with 10 or more postings to their name. Otherwise, we might get someone creating a whole team full of themselves. And they WOULD be full of themselves!

The other thing, because I created the game a long time ago, it would be a twenty-player side. Additional players on the team would end up on the supplementary list (which CAN be managed to promote/relegate players).

That's all I can think of for now.

Danni or Mobbenfuhrer I have Pirch and have been using it since 1996, email me at flunch@go.com and I'll see what I can do with the trivia

 

[Mobbs]

GoEagles,

I have pIRCh, have always used it as well. I wrote the trivia PIL, too, or at least bastardised an existing one.

The thing is, I don't chat with pIRCh anymore, in fact, I spend my time on boards like this, and eGroups. I don't actually chat at all.

Danni is talking of a Brissy Lions chatroom on austnet, where I used to chat. I ran the trivia there. Now that I don't chat anymore, she wants to get hold of the PIL, so that someone else can run it.

But alas, they all use mIRC.

That's how it stands

[GoEagles]

Ahh gotcha. I tried Mirc at the beginning, but didn't like it at all. Changed over to Pirch and have stuck with it (since I also use it as a working tool) What servers did you used to chat at?

 

[Mobbs]

Mainly only Talkcity. It's now so authoritarian that to chat there, one must download a Talkcity version of pIRCh (TCPirch), else a moderator kicks you out.

Cor blimey.

[GoEagles]

Yeah I know what you mean Mobbenfuhrer! Better watch out for those CCCs and CSAs

 

[Mobbs]

I was actually a TCC once ...

Ok, Joffa's Bigfooty Allstars thread has produced a team for me to start with, though there are 3 interchange players listed, so either one of them ends up as a supplementary player, or one should be traded to another team before the season begins.

Someone posted the following :
(lets call them the BigFooty Allstars)
B. Carey_Is_King, Asgardian, Frodo
HB. Cup_half_full, QT, PA1870
C. Darky, Westy, rooboy
HF. Shinboners, Fred, Walshy
F. OldDarkNavys, Bee, RichmondFan1
Foll. Ruck Sandie, mags, spidergirl-rikchik
Int. Miss_magpie, eastaugh36,nick the pie man

Here's another one (suggested by myself):
(Perhaps) the Online Dingos
B StrengthThroughLoyalty, Bloodstained Angel, RoyLion
HB Mud'n'blood, Woofer, Jub Jub
C TigerTank, sabre_ac, Gonzo
HF ptw, Magpie-Joffa, Dan24
F carb70, AlfAndrews, hilly
Foll the_invisible_mullet, Stealth_Bomber, ant
Int Mobbenfuhrer, Pessimistic

If I don't hear any issues raised, I shall commence with these.

That's the first time I've ever been labelled a left-winger!

Dodongo loves that team. Dodongo can't think of a name.

DODONGO HAS SPOKEN

 

[Bluey]

Sounds great! If you get it together, let me know and I'll put up a special board for it, like we did with Footy Survivor.

You can post results etc there.

I'm in - who's on my team?

 

[SpecialBruce]

Bluey - I've listed you in centre for my team. Now I need Mobbenfuhrer to read his E-Mail and confirm the team.

[Agent 86]

Looks like a draft is gonna be needed here Mobbenfuhrer!
I'll submit my draft camp results :-
Pie Eating (1 hour endurance) - 11
Beer Drinking (Melbourne-Ballarat) - 7 cans
Vertical Leap - The top shelf at Coles
Endurance - 17 hours in one sitting at the Playstation
Speed - 56k modem
Strength - Able to open really tough jam jars
Agility/Evasion - Never been booked for speeding yet
Decision Making - Found wanting, backed David Mensch to take home the Coleman/Brownlow double last year.

 

[stuMPEd]

how do teams win if they are people from big footy?

 

[Visro]

Mobbenfuhrer, could you please explain the whole game again (its kinda confusing), btw I also used Pirch98 and I used to go on TC but bloody hell they're a dictatorship now.

I'll be interested if anyone wants me on their team.

------------------
I was put on this Earth to complete a certain number of tasks. I am so far behind I will never die...

Agent 86 that's disgraceful. You'll never get drafted with a sub-15 score on pies or beers. Then again I only scored "couldn't jump over a packet of twisties" in the vertical leap...

 

[Mags]

Oh and i want Dodongo and Shinners, SS11, Alf Andrews and Miss Magpie

Bruce how bout if we trade our first rd draft pick (9 overall) for Bluey??

 

[GoEagles]

Mobbenfuhrer - what was your TCC nick and what forums did you used to host in?
