Hello strangers,

A almost drivel thread \o/. Introductions too, how proper.

I'm Chris, have been on the boards since I went on the net which must be about 99 where I was under the alias' of Kenny Miller and then R. Latapy before they both screwed the mighty Hibernian FC over and I realised calling yourself after a footballer is not a wise move. stevethedog is a charecter from that wonderful program "Son of the beach" btw which is now showing on Bravo

I'd always been a bit of a CMS browser and in early 2003 I wrote a story on Hibs in England which despite the team kicking ass in ED1 with the similar team I got tired writing and then with CM4 being utter pish it eventually ended. I wrote a start to a new story involving Gretna but I think I did it too near the start of CM 03/04 so I didn't give myself time which I regret as i'd have liked to carry it on. Anyway i'm still here reading and stuff but can mainly be found posting crap on CMO or OTF.

:thup: Putting the buzz back into the bees, my long term fav, shame that guy Nicks a pratt :p

hi , i'm readingfanman

i'm alex i'm 13 , and been playing Cm since 00/01 (a Late Starter ) i have to admit i was hooked on Cm 01/02.I have been browsing Sigames for about 1 1/2 years now and started using CMS about 8 months ago.

My first story , There is always next year didn't really get off the ground and i was a bit dissapointed but tried to bounce back , my second story was with Boston , this deifeintly did not go wel as the game crashed after i was mucking around with Nygreen.

So now , i have just submitted a challenge and am hoping it gets maybe into the last 2 but if i get any votes then that will be fine.I am also working on 1 of the older challenges , i won't say which one but hopefully this will kick-start my FMS carrer with a bang. :thup:

About SOTW , i do like it , but don't really take enough notice of it , and when it gets changed i either log on to find i can't find the old SOTW or i don't like the new one. I think maybe it would be better maybe if it got changed to the Fortnightly-story , or story of the month , as people would pay more attention to it if it had a higher accolade.

My all time fave story so far is the coldon common by the Margate Saint , shame it has kind of died as i was really enjoying it.

Don't forget to vote for me!

P.S is it worth getting Cm 03/04 i never got it considering i only had got CM4 in August , but if i see it cheap , is it worht buying now that we think FM5 is coming some time this year?

Welcome Alex,

yes, definately worth getting CM03/04. FM is prolly over 6 months away; 03/04 with the latest patches and updates is far far better than CM4 - even the developers admit that they stuffed up on CM4 and 03/04 is what they meant it to be.

Hello all, Just a quick intro. I have been around a while but not in a posting capacity. I enjoy reading all the stories and thought I would give it a go. I am also going to have a go at being a little more interactive in posting a little more etc.

See yous around

Yeah, saw you as a reader a few times already, it'd be good to see you in action as well :thup:

Never got round to introducing myself properly in the couple of months since I joined [a strange chant rises amongst the crowd, a disquieting lament evoking the irrepressible longing of sea-doves; "...noooooob...nooooooob..."].

My name is David Manson, I'm twenty-nine years old, and half-French half-Irish. Football's always been a huge part of my life, and my childhood hero was diminutive midfield wizard Alain Giresse, which partly explains why my favourite club is the Olympique de Marseille, where he finished his playing career. I grew up in Luxembourg and never lived in France until last year, so I didn't have any 'local' attachment to a French club, so when he left Bordeaux (until then, the club I had been following most closely) my allegiance followed spontaneously, and since then it's been quite a rollercoaster...

I've lived in Luxembourg, Edinburgh, Dublin, Kosovo and now in France, just outside Montpellier, and it's made me less of a Eurosceptic than most people I meet, so I'm very glad this is a truly international community. As for CMS/FMS, well if I was told I was henceforth only allowed to frequent one of the community forums, it would be this one :thup:

So thank you to the 'veterans' who've made me feel welcome, good luck to everyone with their stories, and all the best to any other newcomers joining the fun

Allez l'OM!
