Personally I think you could have waited, if its going to be an idea worth its salt, then like Deano says it need to be organised, and taken time over it.

I think we could have a series of games lined up over a month if enough people with experience are willing to commit to hosting it.

But whatever.....<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

That's youth for you PM

Sorry, but this is going to be a bit cutting.

I fully appreciate that you have the best of intentions and you should be commended for you enthusiasm. But what you have shown here is one of the fundamental points my idea was supposed to address, and this is try and stop the act now think later "game on now" brigade. For this idea to work and add value, it can't be a january one-off it needs to be an on-going strucutured event.

Everybody thinks they have the prettiest wife at home

Ok Deano, I have reservations about your idea, but see no harm in giving it a try to test the water. I do think though that the twice weekly meet up for newbies to be given advice etc (not a list of rules) would be productive if organised. It would also be a way for new players to meet each other in a chatroom scenario.

Goldy, I'm afraid I had one too many beers for the road when I wrote my last post (emphasis on last!) Give an Irishman a few drinks and an interesting topic and he will argue Of course what I said didn't address the future, but only addressed an existing problem. I'd be happy to help out if required.

I'm just organizing a small tournament whats easy to join for newbies to see what the online gaming is. Thats all! Offcourse it isn't a longterm improvement of this place, but you "oldies" can at least take things less serious. I'm having time this week so I organize something. And as founder of the longterm World Clan I know what it is to organize CM online.

I think your kinda missing his point though Kozak.

retired_zjx510

I didn't miss his point.

kids.....i dont see what the problem is in kizak organising a game to start soon, who says he wont do a world cup next month if people like this one?

It doesnt stop anyone planning anything, rather allows more time for people to organise something structured starting next month.

Gosh why do people always see the bad in things if they aint organising it! just get behind it and bloody hope it works and that people..IE all of us can organise something that can run with it and get more people enjoying the forum and the online game!

Like Powlay said, and maybe the African Nations next month
Better we go back on topic now.
