Think you've answered your own question there Qolumbo.

I have an issue regarding all three challenges (ignore this if you've read it on the other thread/s already). What are peoples thoughts on the 'Past Experience' option with FM07 and the Challenge. I am mainly thinking with reference to the backwards playability of the challenge, therefore the only fair way to start would be as 'automatic experience'. Thus keeping the challenging part of moving clubs (if/when required) and signing higher profile players.

What have people done so far?

And what are people's thoughts in general??

haze - in my opinion it doesn't make a big difference if you pick a specific "past experience" level other than automatic as you are not in competiton with others attempting the same challenge. The purpose of a challenge idea is to stimulate stories, not to compete aainst one another, so if it suits your purposes as far as the story is concerned then do what you want.

Yeah I actually thought of that too.

I suppose in the true spirit of FMS it should be determined by the storyline. When was the last time a challenge was even completed here anyway?

Faramir completed the Lord of the Rings one, dunno about the last lot though.

I completed Bobbev's Lisbon Lions, I'm sure there are quite few others.

I knew that comment would draw a few comments. Just a reflection on recent times I think. Nothing personal.

Actually even I completed a challenge once. Under a previous guise I completed the Russian Revolution challenge but things have been a bit dry in recent years. This time I plan to get past two seasons!

Tbh my memory back to those days is shocking. It was 2002/3 I think. The challenge I was running on the oh so memorable CM04 and I think my username was Haze13, or something very similar. Then I went overseas for a while and came back with no recollection of any passwords etc so I just started again.

Sorry, that's not the scandalous response you were hoping for was it PM. But it's sadly true :p

Mike..

I seem to remember completing the Kevin Keegan Challenge in CM01/02 - what great days, playing three seasons in a weekend :cool:

Mind you, my story was particulalry superb too so I was always on a wiiner anyway
