Competitions Sweet FA Tour of BigFooty - Collingwood Board Challenge (Game Played Today Approx. 4-5pm)

[ClarkeM]

Hi Collingwood fans. My name is ClarkeM, and I am here with Barrybran and TheInjuryFactory to promote the game of Qooty, as played on the Sweet FA board of BigFooty. Your moderators Magpie Girl Maggie5 jathanas Gone Critical and Anzacday have been kind enough to grant us permission to challenge the Collingwood Board to a game of Qooty this coming weekend.

What's Qooty?
Qooty is a football simulation program written by BigFooty's own Mobbs, which allows a game of footy to be simulated and generated in text form. Basically, your username is entered into the program, along with 19 team-mates and an opposition team of 20, and the program generates a game, with commentary and stats like this:
​

4 : 12.56 {lW} - Test Tickle has it.
4 : 13 {C} - A wild kick laterally towards The Filth Wizard.
4 : 13.04 {C} - Big mark by The Old Dark Navy's!.

What is the Sweet FA?
The Sweet Football Association is a board on BigFooty. 12 teams, which originally began mostly as club board representative teams but have long since hybridised and merged into teams of mixed loyalties, play two 16/17 game seasons every year, followed by finals, team and league awards presentations and much fun and banter. AFL allegiances are left at the door; people from different origins work together harmoniously - Port/Adelaide supporters, Fremantle/West Coast supporters, Collingwood/Carlton fans - they work and play together, and many people put in amazing efforts to keep the board entertained. It's all about fun and banter, based on the SFA team you play for, not the AFL team you support. The Sweet FA began in 2001, and has now been running for 29 seasons. There is much history, and career stats are a treasured source of banter.

WHO ARE THE SWEET FA CLUBS?

What do you need to do?
Simply sign up to represent the Collingwood Board by saying "in" or some other form of acceptance in this thread. You don't need to do anything else, although the attraction about the game is bantering with the opposition team in the lead-up to the game: things like "You're the worst CHF in the history of Qooty"; "I'm gonna run through you so hard, they'll need a spatula to pick you up" etc. Skills like posting gifs and memes are also attractive; basically, it's all about having fun and interacting with people from other boards in a friendly manner on neutral terms.

Who will be your opposition?
Some of Sweet FA's finest Qootiers will take the field alongside you. Collingwood fans and Sweet FA long-timers, Tarkyn_24, Pie 4 Life and a few others will all be around to help answer any questions you might have.

People from all club boards come together, in a world where AFL rivalries don't exist, and we comprise 12 fantasy teams who play 2 seasons/year for glory and badges.

We're fresh off a close loss to the Carlton board a few hours ago.

Carlton had 24 players sign-up and the thread was 60 pages long. No doubt I have higher expectations that the Pies board will outdo those dirty Bluebaggers!

[Barrybran]

Hello Collingwood. Come on in, say hi and feel free to ask us anything you'd like to know. Here's looking to a fun week ahead.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

G'day Pies. Cheers for having us, looking forward to a good week of banter and bravado

 

[beez]

I'll be the decoy, ClarkeM.

 

[ClarkeM]

I'll be the decoy, ClarkeM.

Have you ever played another role? Like the Chris Dawes to my Travis Cloke.

 

[beez]

Look. I know ClarkeM smells, but if you get involved in the banter you're bound to get heaps of likes.

And maybe a premiership medallion.

 

[beez]

Have you ever played another role? Like the Chris Dawes to my Travis Cloke.

Yes, it is true. I am way, way smarter than you.

 

[ClarkeM]

Temploar Keen to have a run again for old times sake in a once off game?

 

[Temploar]

Temploar Keen to have a run again for old times sake in a once off game?

Keen. For old times sake !!

 

[ClarkeM]

Keen. For old times sake !!

Love it. I’ll put you in. Feel free to tag any other Pies supporters who might be interested in this for a bit of fun.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Hey guys,

I've come in here to tell you *checks notes* how good this game is.

In all seriousness, I've been playing it since 2005, and no doubt there's probably people here that weren't even born then, so that tells you enough about that. I've been with the one club too - though it has undergone some name changes including one forced by a dictating administrative board (but don't worry we overthrew them more than a decade ago and their head is on a spike now).

When you can be active it is really fun, you've got a few spammers but some are actually pretty clever and you can have a mutual respect. If you're keen on playing or have any questions, feel free to ask, especially if it's about how to remain on a list for multiple years whilst averaging a post every month (anything related to the game you'd better ask someone else).

I guess it's just a really good avenue to escape from the real world if the Pies have a bad week, and it's good to get around a bunch of guys/girls and talk s**t.

If you want to play for the Dragons (that's my team see the sick logo in my avatar), we recently won a flag that I was around for which was pretty special, then I'll pass you onto someone with responsibility that can help you with that

Have at it, we can always use some fresh meat players!

 

[ClarkeM]

The Sherriff Want to have another game ?

 

[Tonga Bob]

Hi Collingwood, I'm BigFooty's Tonga Bob. You may remember me from such threads as the one where I ripped off a poem from Edgar Allan Poe to preview a match between you and Freo a couple of season back (here's a reminder if you don't: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/round-23-edgar-allan-bobs-the-magpie.1202487/).

Just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to a week of shitposting with you guys.

 

[beez]

If the opposition doesn't turn up was the four points ever really up for grabs?

Hai Collingwood peeps. ClarkeM has spent yonks getting people involved in this game and even though he's a bit of a flog, you should listen to him. The game is seriously awesome. The banter is seriously awesome. The friends you make (even though they are mostly imaginary) are seriously awesome. And while you may not curse as strongly as you do when Treloar misses another target inside 50, there is certainly an element of frustration watching the game being sim/posted as your team capitulates to another loss.

Yeah, sure, it's a little nerdy, but you're already posting on an online football forum. Embrace your nerdiness and let's have some fun.

 

[ClarkeM]

I think there's a lot of people who pop their head in and think, ah sounds like too much effort.

It's a one-off exhibition game where there is absolutely zero expectation on you to do a thing. And if at the end of it, you don't like it, you can go about your merry life as it is .

I think we need to get some Mods in here to help spruik things up Maggie5 ?

 

[beez]

We should get Maggie5 and FireKrakouer to battle it out on a wing.

 

[ClarkeM]

We should get Maggie5 and FireKrakouer to battle it out on a wing.

Surely Krak plays FP and kicks 4 for us?

 

[Strigoi]

Collingwood people aren’t as bad as everyone thinks.
Most of the time.

A one off game 3 years ago, can't remember anything of it, but trust me my form was good then and it should be even better now. Pretty busy currently, but like an ex-AFL player chasing the cash around the bush I'll turn up every now and then.

You sound like a dashing half back flanker to me.

ClarkeM, give this one a jumper.

There'll be no such running on my watch.
