The Amish would love to field a football (soccer) team, as would the Lambda League. New Harumf is still without a government and cannot participate. I would enjoy simulating a baseball league. |

Awesome, Thats two more teams :) If you really want New Harumf can still participate-soccer doesnt need a goverment for the beautiful game to be played. You would just not be able to RP as a government in the roleplay. You can still have News Reports about the teams success/failure, player news, fan clubs/firms ect ect ect as hopefully everyone else will try and RP those things as well. Posted Image I also would like to use this flag for my Mossel Bay Soccer Club, if someone (Porcu) would like to make a jersey-suprise me! It would be cool if you could get the flag backgound to be the jersey, though I doubt thats possible. |

I'd like a soccer team. Maybe I'll add another sports team, but for now lets start with that. Porcu, if you have spare time, can you make up a jersey for Telosan's soccer team? I'd like it to be sky-blue with a white or gold trim. The team is inspired by the Italian soccer team, Lazio. Their emblem is: Posted Image Of course, S.S.Lazio would be traded out for my team's name. Now if I could just think of a name... |

Alright, now before we go overboard here I'd like to say something. I created this thread with the sole intention of starting up a football/soccer league (both domestic and international). Now I'm perfectly fine with expanding the concept to other sports (baseball, rubgy, american football, etc.) but I'd like it if we could "test" out football first before expanding to other sports. I just don't want to sink the ship before it has a chance of leaving the port... |

Well said Porcu. Maybe this will help get us back on track and organized… Currently within the football/soccer league, we have several teams: Porcu: (Jersey Made, Need team name) Kasnyia: Imperial Team (Jersey Made, Need team name?) Filo: HRE team (Need Jersey and Team Name made) Tristan de Cunha: Byzantine Blues-Greens-Yellows-Reds (Jersey Made) Toussaint: La République Yvelinais (Jersey Made, Need Team Name) Metz: Metz Soccer Club and Mossel Bay Soccer Club (Both need Jerseys) New Harumpf: The Amish and The Lamda League (Both need Team names and Jerseys) -> [Possibly New Harumpf team?] Telosan: SS Lazio inspired team (Needs Jersey and Team name) |

Depending on what happens to the Orthodox world, I might also field an Alexanderhaven team, but I'll just keep the Imperial Team for now. |

For the national teams there is no need for team names, those being reserved for club teams (which we can start at the same time as the national/international league). I've completed a few more uniforms, those for the national teams of Metz, Germany, and HRE: Posted Image Posted Image Posted Image |

The way that Metz and I are envisioning these leagues to play out (one for national teams, one for club teams) is as follows: 1) 32 national teams, formatted play as a bracket tournament serving as the World Cup 2) Each participant will need to create 2 (two, and only two) club/domestic league teams that will compete in a separate league based on normal league systems (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss) 3) 18 "players" need to be created for each club team (11 starters with 7 subs), a participant's national team's roster will be drawn from the participant's 36 total club team players. For each club team you have 1000 points to divide as you wish between your club's 18 players (roughly amounting to 55-56 per player if evenly divided). Overall club team strength will be an average of player point level (ability). (The maximum player level is 99, much like any sporting game) MANDATORY: 2 goalkeepers, 6 defenders, 6 midfielders, 4 forwards (no specific position needed, just "G", "D", "M", and "F") 4) All 18 players for a club team will be of your nationality, but may be traded from one club to another via a player transfer market (if people are actually interested in such) 5) Domestic/club teams will play 38 total games (as of right now) in the "Club League" (a name will be proposed later, which you all will vote on), one home and one away against every team. 6) For every win that a club team gets you are entitled to 2 points to divide among any player you wish on that team (after a win I decide to give one point to a defender, raising him from a 64 to a 65, and a forward, raising him from a 77 to a 78, for example) FYI - after three seasons one player between the ability of 75 and 99 must be eliminated and replaced by a 50 ability player, as well as two players between the ability of 60 and 75. This is done so teams will not get too powerful. 7) IF NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN POINTS 3 - 6 THEN A BARE MINIMUM (MEANING CLUB TABLES AND RESULTS ONLY) WILL BE USED Even if we start with the aforementioned system and people decide to drop it or not use it, the system still works and can still be used otherwise the bare minimum will be used as a substitute (if decided later by vote) 8) Metz and I already have cups and tournaments thought of, which will allow a player to "add on" to their club uniform or national uniform (placing an image of a silver star on your club uniform to represent its recent victory in the league or tournament, for example) A team's rating will be decided by a 5 star system, 0-60 player ability average equals 1 star, 61-70 equals two stars, 71-80 equals three stars, 81-90 equals four stars, 91-99 equals five stars ***EXAMPLE CLUB TEAM (Creating said roster took no more than a couple of minutes) Player Name : Position - Ability - Nationality Player A : D - 53 - Metzian Player B : G - 75 - Metzian Player C : M - 75 - Metzian Player D : D - 75 - Metzian Player E : M - 50 - Metzian Player F : M - 65 - Metzian Player G : D - 45 - Metzian Player H : M - 45 - Metzian Player I : D - 45 - Metzian Player J : M - 45 - Metzian Player K : M - 35 - Metzian Player L : D - 80 - Metzian Player M : D - 35 - Metzian Player N : G - 35 - Metzian Player O : F - 80 - Metzian Player P : F - 42 - Metzian Player Q : F - 60 - Metzian Player R : F - 60 - Metzian * I know questions will come up (in between me posting more uniforms) so just ask and Metz or I will answer as quickly as we can AGAIN, IF PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A DETAILED APPROACH TO THE RP THE MINIMUM SYSTEM WOULD INCLUDE ONLY 2 CLUB TEAMS PLAYING IN A LEAGUE WITH CHAMPION DECIDED AT THE END AS WELL AS THE BASIC WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT - We will not do additional tournaments, player ability or transfer market, or a team 5 star ranking system. *In this case a team's overall ranking will not matter* |

We should stick with soccer/football for now. Depending on success, we can move on to any other sport if there's enough interest. I'm in for the detailed or the minimum version. I understand everything that's going on with this, which is surprising considering my severe lack of athletic knowledge. The only thing I'm not grasping is the club teams/national teams. This is what I see them as right now: Club teams are the teams that play each other within a certain nation. So Telosanti teams would play Telosanti teams. National teams are the teams that play the other national teams from other countries. So Telosanti teams would play Ulganian teams, or Kasnyian teams, or Porcuian teams, etc. I see them as two different leagues. Am I right, or hopelessly confused? |

You are correct in stating that club teams are teams located in and usually playing in domestic leagues. I was envisioning a Champions League of sorts except it is a world-wide club team tournament instead of being exclusively for Europe. In terms of the national team, you only have one of them Edited by Porcu, Jun 14 2009, 06:20 PM.

Club teams are intranational. National teams are international. Why was that so hard for me to understand? Ok, my national team will be the Lazio inspired one. My club teams I have to work on, but one of them will use the jersey Porcu previously posted. I can't exactly call a team the Telosanti Snipers. Some nations are likely to be 'offended' ICly. EDIT: Names are very difficult for me. Names for organizations and such are even more difficult as I always subconsiously drop back to cliche titles. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Here is a Jersey for My second Club Team (Cape Town Soccer Club) Posted Image-can someone touch up the top of the badge on the Jersey on the right, the top of it isnt completed and Here is a Flag for them (The Flags are not needed, just something extra for RP Purposes) Posted Image @Telosan: Correct, Both are international, othewise each person would have to simulate their own leagues, and no one wants to have to do all of that, hence Porcu and I are making this. As for team names, I would suggest google, look up some current team names and then substitute your city into the name. EX: The Columbus Crew=The Derry City Crew if you have a derry city in your nation...If you want more suggestions just PM me and I can come up with loads of them. |

EVERYONE, PLEASE READ We need to come up with some names for the leagues and Tournements and such, and Porcu and I would like your opinion. Please follow this outline to supply the names you wish to have considered. Once a bunch of names are posted, a simple majority vote within this thread will decide what the names will be. 1. National Team League 2. The National Team Cup/tournement 3. The Club Team League 4. The Club Team Tournament (involves the top 8 teams in a team bracket tournament) 5. The Club Team Tournament (Involves teams 9-16 in a bracket tournament) 6. The first Game that starts each New Season (Between the top two ranked teams from last season)-[This year/season will not have one as we have no rankings] This is my actual post about what names to consider, and will be used as the example. 1. The World League 2. The World Cup 3. The Intercontinental Championship League 4. The Champions Cup 5. The Challengers Cup 6. The League Torch ------------------- --------------- ------------------ --------------- ----------------- -------------- World League (Or whatever the name will be) –Each nation has one Team Porcu: [Porcu] Jersey Made Kasnyia: [Kasnyia] (Jersey Made) Filo: [HRE] (Jersey Made) Tristan de Cunha: [Byzantine] (Need National Team Jersey) Toussaint: La République Yvelinais (Jersey Made) Metz: [The Kingdom of Metz] (Jersey Made) New Harumpf: The Amish and The Lambda League (Jersey Made for The Amish and The Lamda League) Telosan: [The Telosan Empire] (Jersey Made) Ulgania: [Ulgania] (Jersey Made) Terrel Fen: (Need Jersey) Club League (Or whatever the name will be) Each Nation needs two Club Teams Porcu: (Need team name and Jersey) and Need Second Team Name and Jersey Kasnyia: (Need Jersey, Need team name) and Need Second Team Name and Jersey Filo: (Need Jerseys and Team Names made) Tristan de Cunha: Byzantine Blues-Greens-Yellows-Reds (Jersey Made) Toussaint: (Need Team Name and Jersey) and need second team name and jersey Metz: Mossel Bay Soccer Club (need Jersey) and Cape Town Soccer Club (Jersey Made) New Harumpf: The Amish (need Team for Both, need Jerseys for both) The Lamda League(need Team for Both, need Jerseys for both) Telosan: (Needs Jersey and Team name for both) Ulgania: (Need Jersey and Team Name for both) Terrel Fen: (Need Jersey and Team Name for both) If anything is wrong or if I have mixed up a club team with a national team or vice-versa please PM me or let me know right here in the thread and I will fix it. This is essential for it to be correct so that we (me and Porcu) know what teams we are dealing with and what leagues they are in. Please post this information ASAP as well as submit your suggested names for the leagues and such too ASAP. Edited by Metz, Jun 14 2009, 07:48 PM.

Seeing how the World Cup/League is my priority I'm first going to create uniforms for 32 national teams. Once those are done I'll create/update uniforms for club teams, just so you all know. The following are renditions for the national teams of Telosan and the Confederacy: Posted Image Posted Image *If you wish to have your uniforms modified just drop me a PM with details or feel free to post an updated version on your own EDIT: UPDATED Edited by Porcu, Jun 14 2009, 09:13 PM.
