Captaincy Applications Review

With Captaincy applications closing tomorrow, i thought perhaps it would be good to have more input from the forum in general in their opinions on who should be allowed the responsibility. Hence the post.

Applicants:

Ryan Mc - Reb Bulls FC
Hef - Las Venturas
Mad - Let the Games Begin
Swift - TeamSwift
Alvaro - Savage Armade FC
Nathan - The Lads
Jds - The Flying Peacocks
Helios - Bond FC
Venom - UK - u16's
Nebraska - Ragnarak


My Opinions:

Ryan MC:
Has retired, and come back. Has played for a long time. No previous captaincy experience as far as i'm aware. Was rather active at one point, wouldn't know if he still is having been inactive myself, but overall i reckon it would be a risky move. I do like the name though.


Hef:
Also like the name. Quite active last i saw, seems to be committed to the game, hosts pubs, however mentally perhaps lacking. Rages a fair bit. Although to his credit, i don't believe he's a quitter. All in all, seems a possibility. Although i wouldn't like to play for him personally.


Mad
Not a particular fan of the team name. Never had much interaction with the guy. However his experience, and achievements in the game; including playing a fundamental part in FM shows he clearly has an abundance of capacity to be a successful captain. And is well liked, thus there wouldn't be a lack of players happy to play under him. Seems a dead cert to be accepted, if not just for his influence.

However, for me, it sends completely the wrong message allowing someone to captain a team having previously banned him. For me personally, unlike other young, immature, childish players, who i perhaps would have a more lenient opinion about; given the influence he has in the game, i strongly condemn the part he played. He did know better. Should have acted better. IMO it was almost a "rules don't apply to me" attitude. However it is just a game for fun, and he's still a strong candidate, so who really cares?


Swift
Can't be trusted.


Alvaro
Again don't know much about him, but based on his application, seems a good lad, with a great philosophy and attitude. The names alright, Logo's cool. Having played for 4 years, i'd expect him to have the capabilities of running a team. I have no information on his activity though, which for me would be the deciding factor, if he's active he seems like the kinda guy the league was supposed to be intended for, and thus worth a risk.


Nathan
Assuming it's a joke.


Jds
A somewhat surprisingly controversial application. For me he should definitely be accepted. Played under him, good guy, very active, very reliable, very fair.

I didn't originally understand the the "negs" although i feel nero and one of CM's points were actually quite valid. Lack of presence on forum, and "lazy" application. However just 'coz he doesn't like chatting shit on the forums, for me isn't that important, he still has a major influence without using the forums. And this lack of wanting to express himselves on the forum is perhaps why his application was lazy (perhaps). But yeah, should definitely be accepted for me.


Helios
A Joke.


Venom
I think is a joke. If it's not then i think there are better applicants. However perhaps he should be given a chance, i mean he's been on the sidelines a long time, and remained an active member and contributor. B4d ass was given a chance and that turned out alright. Although i reckon it's a joke anyway, especially given the fact he's named his players =S But if it's not, then the players listed have been active, but ignored, so why not let them combine to have a team. Let them play.


Nebraska
Like the name, like the logo. Like the application, and the honesty in it, has captain experience, including rough patches. Don't know him in a personal capacity. Think i've seen him about ie. active. Depends on how many new teams there's gonna be i guess. But seems worth a punt.


Summary
I think it will come down to the structure the admins are going to implement, as in to say how many teams they feel can be accepted, and thus how many players they feel are active, and whether they want to go to a 2 div system. Due to being completely inactive this season, i'm not in the loop at all on the thoughts of the direction the admin are intending. For me i think it's 1 season to early to have 2 divs. With just FH disbanding, and a large number of new players signing up, without doing too much research i reckon 12 teams could be implemented this ssn in one league.

As such 3 applicants could be accepted. And i feel the 3 should be Jds, Alvaro and Nebraska. With the last two, a tiny bit risky, but worth the gamble as would be easy to fix if it goes wrong. I would have liked to see SR running a team. Feel he's earned one. Shame he withdrew. (A comment for which no doubt CM's gonna neg me for again).

However i think it's quite likely Mad will be given a team ahead of either of 'em, and as i say perhaps deservedly so, t'is just a game. And again i have no idea what the structure would be, they might only be looking for just one captain to replace fox hounds for all i know. If so however Jds, for me, must be accepted ahead of mad if the league wants to keep a shred of integrity.






Disclaimer:
These are just my pointless, unimportant opinions, mainly to get the ball rolling in the hope others will give theirs. Again i repeat i've been completely out the loop so there may be things stated that are completely invalid.


Peace and love

Probably the stupidest review ive ever seen...

I've captained teams in all the major leagues without problems, so I don't know where you've got the impression of me not being trusted from?

Also, some of the opinions you've given are just stupid... you've given people credit/no credit for their choice of name, like how the hell has that got to do with their application?

Honestly, you really don't know nearly enough about any of the captains (as you've said in 80% of them, ' I don't know much about them' ) to give your opinion on this.

don't even know why mad was banned he didn't get the fake i did, just admins not bothering to look into the situation

Seems like people gotta send for me to get sum fame.


There's retard and then there's oscar. I've not seen as much shit written on one page since i last read a page from the 911 commission report.

You're just a poor mans doctor.
