Sokker Manager - online soccer game

kenyard

so well... i played a few MMORPG's over the years and loved the comcepts...
only thing is i didnt have time after a while to keep going at the addictive ones caus u Needed to be online a certain amount a day to keep going...

www.sokker.org

the concept of the game is similar to Football manager although everything is a lot simpler. basically its also divided into countries so you're playing against irish users only.
although you can challenge ppl from all around the world in frendlies etc..

thing that i liked is that you have 1 league match a week and 14 a season (basically league ends after this so promotions etc happen)

its not based on real players or atin like that but its great game IMO

theres loadsa videos on youtube too

how tactics work


game is constantly improving too and irish userbase is increasing so i figured there might be ppl from here on. its simple interface and easy to get used to too!

anyone else on the forum here play it??

Mr Nin

Isn't there somewhere better to put this than MM, an internet section?

Anyway yes, we're members of an online football manager game. There are currently around 60,000 managers worldwide of which 80 are ours (yeah, we're a bit outnumbered) and so here we are trying to recruit more players to Sokker Ireland. It would help the Ireland national team enormously to have just 100 more users and i have setup a guide for anyone who chooses to join.
We have all the features of a normal online management game but with one big bonus, we have a live match viewer. We also have a very versatile and impressive tactical engine. I've been in the game since June 2006 and i'm still fine-tuning my formations.
We also have a Bebo page, even if you dont want to play it'd be appreciated if you added us to your friends list. We're trying to advertise

Mr Nin

This is a much better video, although that engine has now been updated where players do visibly tackle for the ball and keepers do dive.

Hey guys, just signed up.

I bring with me 3 years hattrick experience and one year Trophy Manager.

Mr Nin

Excellent. Our member numbers have gone up in the last week. We now have 86 with 5 teams on the waiting list.
There is a newbie guide in the Irish forum that i wrote for new users. Usually i'll send a link when you join but sometimes it takes a while to find new teams.

Xavi6

How long does approval usually take?

Mr Nin

It's difficult to tell really. 1 or 2 days hopefully. I'll harass the mods into speeding things up.

Xavi6

Ok cool. Hopefully won't be too long.

Mr Nin

"we normally accept new applicants every day, just be sure they make the request and click on the link they receive via email and we will open the new teams!"

Xavi6

Just got this -

Your application to www.sokker.org has been
rejected, your account has been removed.

There are few possible reasons why this situation
has happened:
- You didn`t comply with fair-play rules. Most
common reason is applying for a second team in our
game or applying for a second team on a shared IP
without sending explanations to admins@sokker.org.

- You have supplied invalid data during
registration, ie. you have an offensive team
name/username, or an invalid e-mail address.

First time signing up. Wtf?

Mr Nin

I'll ask, What name and clubname did you sign up with?

Xavi6

Club name is 10 Xaivs & A Keeper.

Username is my own personal name. I replied to the email asking why I was rejected.

Mr Nin

I've messaged them about it. I cant see any reason why you'd be rejected.

wcarey1975

Just signed up today hopefully wont get a reject message for no apparant reason like Xavi. Only play Xpert online manager online. Username is same as here and Team name is rafaloution.

kenyard

try reapplying Xavi mate.. maybe u left something blank or something like that..?

u a liverpool supporter????

p.s to all newcomers.. drop us a msg in the newbie section on sokker ireland on forums

nice to see ppl from here on! caus its good to have active ppl on forums, its more fun XD

Xavi6

I replied to the email asking what the story was and it's because I applied for a team a country I don't live in. Why would that matter?

And no, I'm a Man City fan.

kenyard

explain you're from ireland, just on holidays or something... they do that so everyone cant just go and join one country..or if u had friends in teh game from england u couldnt join england etc...
i'll contact an admin on the irish forums anwyays and see what they say

Xavi6

Yeah I told him I was just over here on holidays and that I'm from Ireland. Hopefully it can be sorted.

kenyard

im getting in contact with admins ingame too to sort it mate
mailing a few of them..will find out what the story is but u might have to reapply...will let u know as soon as i hear word

Yep, asked in the modforum which admin is gonna do the applications for Ireland.

I'll be offline until around 5, but I'll write you as soon as I know more ;-)
