You can be Aberdeen, people were just drivelling in the vote thread about alterations. The challenge is as it reads on the first post of this thread. If you ahve any specific queries email me.

And calm down

Will update the weblog tomorrow probably, had my last exam of the diploma today, so big shebang tonight.

Weblog updated to include new starts and the clubs for all attempts!

Oh, hey kudos to Lycos for the targetted ads! I just got a bunch of LOTR offers and some football ones

I guess now is as good a time as any to do the first log on the thread:

HD LOTR:TCA - My own attempt. Not been regularly updated due to exams, but they're done and I intend to update on my progress in Phase 2 in due course.

Faramir Troubled Visions - Faramir's Dream - Faramir's ambitious tale has all the signs of a potential epic already. Tale is developing nicely.

Terk Peaceful Times - Aragorn Retires to the Shire - Terk hasn't given up yet, which has to be a positive sign.

glamdring White Lady of Rohan abroad - Find healing or die - glamdring has just found himself at the gates of Easter Road, not quite the Argonath, but still, there's time!

Doctor Who Football Management 101 - The Doc's interactive tale is proving very popular, he has finished one season already and is well on his way to completing Phase 1.

cms186 Tales from the Prancing Pony - Mr 186 has made an encouraging start at Leeds, and the story is inventive to boot.

Stephen Wilson Adventures in Middle Earth - a bright start to his first CMS tale, not that you'd know from the writing.

Tyrone the Mag Is it safe?, is it secret?... - Ty is going well at his beloved Newcastle, but how will he fare when he is forced to leave?

Mochard The Jewel in the Crown - An enthusiastic start, and with Chelsea the completion of Phase 1 is an inevitability.

jiddy Koldor Bogscrotch - The Forgotten Hobbit - jiddy is looking to make an impact with Fulham, though results aren't all going his way early on.

RyddeckerSMP So this is not quite what I was expecting...... - Ryd's tale looks like it is about to kick off!

bjorn The journey in Middle Earth - Björn's imagination is in overdrive here, and getting a move from Rangers to the Second Division when he completes Phase 1 should pose few problems.

Peacemaker7 Mordor, My Mordor - Sauron's Tale - We all anticipate excellence from PM7 in every story, and the early indications are that this tale will deliver that in an emphatic fashion. A delightfully twisted angle only adds to the potential for this tale.

Leicester_Mad Lord Of the Rings or ****e of the Shire? - Craig has made a promising start, and is clearly enthusiastic about his chances!

Leicester_Mad

My story here

Ruuh_Allah

Good challenge HD :thup: Looks like I've finally found motivation to go on playing CM - still because of end-of-school exams starting in two weeks time I won't have the time to start a story.

Nevertheless, I'm going to play (and fail miserably) the challenge despite knowing absolutely nothing about Tolkien and LOTR (well, except the fact there are some beings called 'hobits' in it ).

glamdring

well, "hobbits" actually

Good to have you onboard though

Doctor Who

Question:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Phase 2 – The Road to Rivendell

The decision to leave the Shire is a surprising one, and must be made during your third or fourth season (any time after the season update at the end of season 2) at the club from Phase 1. The road to Rivendell is fraught with danger, and is not a journey you ever planned to take. In game terms this involves dropping down at least two divisions to a poor team (flexible on this, basically not a “big” side that’s been relegated since the game started, a rich side, or a team looking in a good position to be promoted.)

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm looking at a potential opening at St. Mirren, who have just been relegated from Div. 1 to Div. 2. They are bankrupt (in receivership) and placed in the middle of Div. 2 after about a 3rd of the season.

Would they qualify as a phase 2 team when bankrupt, even if they've just been relegated?

St Midden would be fine, they're in no way a big team.
