Goal Line Blitz MMORPG
Looks interesting. It is a football MMORPG and it seems that you can play as either an owner or a player. I've just signed up and the first thing you do is create a player.
larrymcg421 is a team owner of the Grand Junction Silverbacks in the USA AA Western Conference. If you sign up with the link below then he will get extra points for referals. http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=537895 |
I just found out that I can earn points in the game by refering people to join.
Edited link above for new signups. |
OK. I've created myself as a CB, allocated my skill points and it seems like a lot of the other settings were already randomly created.
I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing but I received some contract offers from CPU teams. I accepted one from the Buenos Aires Marlins in the South America AAA (Zeta Conference). I think you can sign for a human-controlled but I didn't want to wait. |
Signed up as an RB, named Johnny Thunder. Playing for the Minsk Legion in the Eastern Europe Pro League, Alpha Conference.
|
Signed up as LB Sabotai Bagatur. I'm on the Peterborough Miners in the Canadian AAA league.
|
Crim Bronco, LB. Make me an offer I like, and I'll be your Lewis, your Urlacher, yer freakin Butkus fer the next several years. I'll fill yer damn stadium, I'll get ya a few trophies, and I'll bang yer daughter. You won't care bout that last bit, though, cuz I'll be improving your gene pool in the process. Call me, bitches. My agent is waiting.
|
Uh, unless, of course, none of y'all bastiches is signing up to be an owner. I'll wait a day or so, if none of you are owners (and have invited me), I'll sign with an NPC team as well.
|
Ryan Omark, LB. I'm on some computer team, but it would be sweet if we could get an FOFC team running.
|
Hawk McGawk playing TE.
Cheers! |
I am in as Jake Weston, CB for the Dusseldorf Wolves of the Western Europe AAA league, Zeta conference.
-Cork |
Randall McManus, FA QB for now. I'll sign with a CPU team in a day or so if I don't get another offer.
|
QB Tim Moungey playing for the Geelong Wildcats in the Oceania Pro League, Alpha Conference.
It's the team where I have the best shot at becoming the starter the soonest. |

In case you missed it...

Seems like no harm in signing up with a CPU team for now, getting some experience, and then hopefully getting a team together at some point. |

make sure to follow my road grader Mr. Trout, Minsk's new center |
Tied game! But Mays just fouled out. :(

I think human owners need 1000 points to get a team. All we need is someone to get a team and then sign all of us.

SS DJ McGilvery created. Playing for Saipan Fighters, Oceanic AAA, Zeta Div.
|
Alan T, massive run stopping NT
|
Trying it out - Tabasco Ted Hopper, SS for the Sacramento Flames (USA A). Get a team together and I'm manning the D for ya!
|
RB Joey Flabbus, Bogor Gulls, Southeast Asia AAA
|
WR Alex Donovan, Auckland Panthers
|
Okay, I think the best thing to do is have whoever wants to own the team put their referral link here. That will give them 850 points, which is pretty close to the 1000 needed to buy a team.

Roger Duhnam
6'3" and 198lbs of blazing speed at wideout. Currently contracted with the Sherbrook Cheetahs of the Canadian Pro league. We're 1-4, but I am starting and we have two human controlled QB's. So I like my chances of improving. |
looks like the only way to gain points is to either get refferals or buy them. So hopefully we all used 21C's referral and he'll have a ton of points :D
I am Idjit Kicker, K, La Plata Whales South America AAA (Alpha Conference) |
Pork Chop Steinberg was signed today by the Papeete Legion, a 6'6" possession receiver. He'd be a tight end if he could get above 180 lbs. soaking wet. Few training tables are kosher, however.
Eating is not a problem for new San Cristobal Puma Slats McCoy, a 323 lb. offensive guard who is playing football for revenge. "My father was killed by a nose tackle," said the 6'3" McCoy, "and I won't take a play off until I find the guy." Early reports that all teams in GLB will play the 4-3 have not dissuaded the vengeful son. "Sooner or later, the bastard that murdered my father will find himself on a team that uses the 3-4 once the formation is unveiled later in the beta test, and he won't be able to resist lining up over the ball. They always return to the scene of the crime, you know." |
Funyun Johnson, OT
|
Tank Basterson, QB Odessa Fire. Scheduled to start!
This looks like it will be fun.. |
FS DeMarcus Lott is playing for the Red Deer Pirates in Canadian AA Western Conference.
|
Okay, I just bought a team. The Colorado Spring Snakes in the USA AA Western Conference. We're allowed a one time name change.
Any ideas for a city and mascot? |
FS Semi Truck (ironic name as he's a cover guy), a 5'11" 185 lbs. player of football has signed a 1-year contract with the La Paz Gangsters of the AAA South American league.
|
Ok, I've equipped my "+4 Jockstrap of Fortitude." I'm ready to roll.
|
Our starting TE is LeBron James. :D http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=27463

I don't know how many points you earn for referals. It says that up to 850 points can be earned in a season which makes it sound like you might get something like 50 per person. It also says "the users you refer must create a player and play for a couple of days before you will receive the points." As it is, there are 5 people who used the referal link.
The only other way that I can see to get the points is to buy them. 1000 points can bought for $8.50 and gets you 2 seasons - about 80 real days. I just found the points earned for referals in the FAQ: How many Flex Points can I get through referrals? You can earn up to 850 per season. The referral breakdown is as follows: 50 points per referral for the first 10 referrals. 25 points per referralfor the second 10 referrals 10 points per referralfor the final 10 referrals. Referrals in excess of 30 will not earn you more points. |
So we're never gonna get skill points, and we can only play for one season?
|
Quote:
Yeah I went ahead and just did the $8.50 option for 2 seasons. If I thought about it sooner, I wouldn't have created a player and could have got 3 seasons, but I'm assuming I can earn enough by then. |
Quote:
|
I don't think we're limited by cities, so how about something like "FOFC Simmers"
|
Quote:
Yeah, as soon as I decide on the team name. |
How about you put the team in Jim's (the owner of Solecismic) hometown? Though I can't remember what that is..
|
Quote:
No, you get skill points through leveling up. And you play for as many seasons as you want, I imagine. Owner thing is different from player thing. |
Quote:
|
Either way. Shouldn't be hard to find you guys.
|
I would suggest that Larry post his referal link here so that any new players that sign up give him the extra points. That might buy some extra seasons as team owner. If you like, I can also edit the first post to include it.
|
Biff Chuckington signs with Quito Lions and is penciled is as the starting QB.
|
Since it fits the region and I really like the name, I'll go with my WOOF team name.
Grand Junction Silverbacks. I'll start offering contracts. We are currently 3-2 (best record in the highest USA Div. that had an available team). |
LB Crim Bronco is on the Wroclaw Thrashers. Come and get me, larry!
|
|
I just read a post on the forum that advises paying your players enough so that they can train. Training costs go up with levels, so players should not sign long term contracts for little money.
It's a sticky in the "Players looking for teams" forum: Quote:
|
I'm Chris Whizz, a CB... just signed up and am unemployed (hint, hint)
|
Okay, I'm offering contracts right now. Not sure what the numbers should look like, but I'm basically offering everyone a bit of a raise with a bit of a signing bonus. I'm also cutting the expensive CPU players, especially the ones duplicated at positions FOFC'ers will be taking.
|
Quote:
|
I'm so a Silverback. Sacramento United is fucked in 37 hours.
|
CB Richard Southwell is signed on.
I see a potential dynasty thread in all of this. |
Why not buy a team too, 21C? There's going to be a lot of folks playing this, I predict..
Sorry I didn't hit your referral. See, what had happened was.. I didn't think I was going to play until I went and read about it, then I forgot.. You know you're in my heart for finding the game, though, right? |
we have too many QBs it looks like for one team! looks like you're sutck with me kicking for now though ;)
|
Just accepted my offer. I'm a power back so make sure we have someone speedy. I also have a kicker named Alexander Thunder if we need another kicker.
|
Start improving your players as best you can. Looks like we'll have some interesting position battles.
If you don't want to worry about being a backup, then create someone at a position that hasn't been taken yet. I guarantee an FOFC'er gets a starting spot over any CPU player. |
Signed on and I intend to be Grand Junction's starting QB.
|
I accepted the offer.
Based on what points we were able to allocate, I think my speed is fairly decent for a starting player, so I'm working on catching now. |
Quote:
How did you get a lvl 4 QB already? |
Checked my messages and I took the offer. Thanks larrymcg421! I don't mind whether I start or not. I'm a team player. Go Silverbacks!
|
Quote:
I bribed the programmers. EDIT: I'm only partly being a smart ass. You can buy points to spend on your player. It cost me about $12 for all the upgrades I got. You can only get so much each season though. |
Here is the list of FOFC players in this game:
QB Randall McManus (Easglesfan27) QB Tim Moungey (Izulde) - Signed QB Biff Chuckington (FBPro) QB Tank Basterson (dbd1963) - Signed RB Johnny Thunder (Yellow5) - Signed RB Joey Flabbus (jaygr) WR Alex Donovan (SirFozzie) WR Roger Duhnam (JHandley) - Signed WR Pork Chop Steinberg (Shkspr) TE Hawk McGawk (hawk4669) C Mr. Trout (Apathetic Lurker) G Max Protect (gkb) T Funyun Johnson (Bad-example) DE Michael Szur (Quiksand) DT Alan T (Alan T) MLB Crim Bronco (Crim) - Signed LB Sabotai Bagatur (sabotai) - Signed LB Ryan Omark (JetsIn06) LB Sam Jolley (rjolley) CB Jake Weston (Cork) CB Chris Whizz (3ric) CB Richard Southwell (21C) - Signed FS DeMarcus Lott (TazFTW) FS Semi Truck (MikeVic) SS Tabasco Ted Hopper (MrDNA) SS DJ McGilvery (kurtism) K Idjit Kicker (Radii) K Alexander Thunder (Yellow5) |
I didn't see any guards so I created one...
G Max Protect |
Ohhhh.. Max Protect, you are Tank Basterson's new best friend!
|
Quote:
LOL. Probably would've been a better name for a OT...I'm not great at coming up with names. Maybe I should've named him Pancake or something... |
Quote:
Actually I just call him Mr Trout.... his real name is Horace Trout... |
DT Balhaire De La Rosa of the Paris Eagles.
I want to be a big fat NT and level up that skill to make the rest of the Dline better. That should be fun. |
Quote:
There's a QB named Pancake in one of my MP leagues. Brant Pancake. :) |
My character is Robert DeMinas, Level 4 LB
|
Damien Arthur FA DE.
|
Quote:
Exactly the same type as I did. :) Looks like I'm going to have competition for my job! |
Just signed my contract.
Suit me up, coach! |
Quote:
We'll be playing a 4-3, so you should be fine. |
Guys, make sure you set it so your abilities aren't hidden from me.
|
You can make them viewable to all players on the team too, which I did. It's cool to see other guys abilities.
|
QB Hank Twiney is playing in Sevastapol. I need to move somewhere warmer.
|
I just signed my contract and bought some new equipment.
|
FB Pass Acaglia looking for a team.
|
CB Ben Lewis
|
WR Flash Flynn looking for a team. (lvl 4)
|
FS DeMarcus Lott has signed the contract.
|
SS Kevin Heath
|
Yeah we might need another team. :)
|
You have to worry about salaries and all that right? So I don't think you would sign every FOFCer created. Say we have 4 QBs... I think you'd sign at most 3 of them?
|
I'd suggest letting Larry figure out if he can afford to sign most/all of the FOFCers first. It turns out that I had some cash sitting in my PayPal account, so I went ahead and bought some flex points with it. I have enough to buy a team if it's needed.
|
Dola: So as a result, CB Ben Lewis is now Level 4. :D
|
Kicker, Daniel Schoonover at your service. With all the upgrades a rookie can have.
|
T Maple Syrup created. (Level 4)
He was a guard, but I noticed you already had two human guards signed. So, I retired him, and created a right side run blocking tackle instead. Edit: I took a contract with the CPU team, New Hampshire Mustangs (USA, A, Eastern), since they have a game today in about an hour. And, I figure I can earn some experience points while waiting for a contract offer from the Grand Junction Silverbacks. The CPU team put me in as their starting LT. |
I'm in as LB Emiliano Zapata.
:D |
DE Sven Williams
|
Quote:
My back (Joey Flabbus) was built as a powerback as well. I noticed you have him at lvl 4 (so I assuming you bought some points) so I don't mind starting a new guy before we get too involved if we would not want two power guys, although I prefer to be one. I'd still rather do what is best for the team though. What do you guys think? |
Just signed my contract with Grand Junction and bought some new equipment. Hope to be a solid blocking TE first with a later emphasis on good hands. Who needs speed, etc. ;)
Cheers! |
I do have enough money to sign most everyone, but it's true that it doesn't make sense to sign 5 QB's.
We do have an excess of QB's, LB's, Kickers and WR's. It might be a good idea to start another team so some people aren't stuck as backups. I'll list the initial starting lineup tonight. |
The team we were going to play, Sacramento United, was bought and has become the Hawaii Five Os. They have already signed some better players too.

From what I understand, none of us are going to have the stamina to play a whole game. I've been trawling the forums all morning and I've learned that a lot of people will put most of their skill points into stamina because that will keep them in the games, allowing them to gain valuable experience. I've read that at level 4 you want to have a stamina at least in the 20 range. My guy has a 17 or so. There's no way he's going to play a whole game no matter what.
5 QBs would seem to be pushing it, though. None of the players would get the amount of experience you want. |
