If you know or meet anyone willing to lend their support get them to sign up to the cause.

Let's put all our pets out with a 'Your Country Needs You - Join Team England WOF2008' to spread the word. There are many players who could help that maybe don't spend time in the forums.

Not sure how long a pet name can be tho, will check it out tonight.
Oh, another one, we could organise a Chat Spaming Roster to press gang around popular TP's ...

As Rooster correctly points out there is still a long time before we have to name our Main Team of 12 and I won't be naming it until the deadline approaches.

Nearer that deadline I will announce a shortlist of 'possibles' from which the final 12 will be selected and those not picked will be 'first reserves' in case anyone drops out.

However I want to keep the interest and momentum going so I've now collected avatar stats from 22 of our squad members.

I've learned quite a few things from this operation, all good!

But it will mean I'll have one Hell of a tough job selecting the Main Team of 12.

The flip-side of this of course is that a lot of players, despite having good skills and equipment, won't make the Main 12 and will be in our Support Team.

This isn't a disaster for England though, far from it as the rules this year mean that they can still score points for us.

But I do feel bad that my decision will effectively deny some people of a chance, and it is only a chance of course, of a WoF Winner's Jacket.

Therefore I've decided that should England go on to win the WoF 2008 that would be reward enough for me and I would arrange a draw/lottery for someone in our Support Team to win my jacket.

Maybe the chance of winning a WoF jacket may entice more English avatars to sign up for us also.

But the main reason I'm doing this is to try to be fair to the majority of our talented and hard working support squad, who deserve at least a slim chance of sharing the spoils of victory.

seemed to work last year... so everyone should try and pursuade (politely and being as gentlemanly as possible) MA to provide some kind of prize for the support teamto... maybe a medal or something for the winning teams support?

anyhoo.

I think MA will provide some form of prizes again. WoF is pretty big, look at all the interest the 2008 one has generated already, months away from the start! MA surely will want to support it, not only will billions of rounds of ammo be bought and fired for the event but it also has publicity potential. In terms of player organised competition in EU that may seep into mainstream news there's currently Champions League (biggest individual tournament) and WoF (biggest team tournament).

ye jimmy.. both events are equally gr8..

TBH if Ma played things a lil better those two things alone could be spun in a nice news article to get the juices flowing of any potential PE'ers.

hopefully your right about the prizes

The only thing with the Champions League is that if it became mainstream, I've a feeling that football's (soccer's) european governing body (UEFA) could take an interest. I've heard anecdotal instances where major organisations have tried to hammer smaller entities over branding/copyright. Re-branding maybe necessary, and even our CL's original name (Championship League) maybe too close for UEFA's liking. That said, I'd like to think I was wrong on this.

Anyway, back on topic.

IF YOU'RE ENGLISH, AND HAVE AN AVATAR, THEN SIGN UP PLEASE!!!
