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.

I just found out that I can earn points in the game by refering people to join.

Edited link above for new signups.

21C 03-21-2008 09:21 PM

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.

Crim 03-21-2008 10:35 PM

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.

Crim 03-21-2008 10:37 PM

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.

JetsIn06 03-21-2008 10:37 PM

Ryan Omark, LB. I'm on some computer team, but it would be sweet if we could get an FOFC team running.

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.

Izulde 03-21-2008 10:47 PM

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...

Admin Announcement

For players who are on CPU teams and want to get to a human team: Human managers can now make contract offers directly to you instead of having to trade for you. You will get a message in your inbox if you get an offer.

Thanks for your understanding with this beta game. We are working hard to improve the game every day.

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

Izulde 03-21-2008 11:14 PM

Tied game! But Mays just fouled out. :(

21C 03-21-2008 11:19 PM

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.

kurtism 03-21-2008 11:20 PM

SirFozzie 03-22-2008 12:07 AM

WR Alex Donovan, Auckland Panthers

JetsIn06 03-22-2008 12:12 AM

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.

JHandley 03-22-2008 12:13 AM

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.

Radii 03-22-2008 12:26 AM

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)

Shkspr 03-22-2008 12:29 AM

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."

Bad-example 03-22-2008 12:34 AM

Funyun Johnson, OT

dbd1963 03-22-2008 12:39 AM

Tank Basterson, QB Odessa Fire. Scheduled to start!

This looks like it will be fun..

TazFTW 03-22-2008 12:42 AM

FS DeMarcus Lott is playing for the Red Deer Pirates in Canadian AA Western Conference.

larrymcg421 03-22-2008 12:45 AM

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?

MikeVic 03-22-2008 12:48 AM

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.

dbd1963 03-22-2008 12:48 AM

Ok, I've equipped my "+4 Jockstrap of Fortitude." I'm ready to roll.

MikeVic 03-22-2008 12:49 AM

Our starting TE is LeBron James. :D http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=27463

21C 03-22-2008 12:52 AM

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.

MikeVic 03-22-2008 12:53 AM

So we're never gonna get skill points, and we can only play for one season?

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.

Does that mean you want to start signing/trading for all of us?

larrymcg421 03-22-2008 12:56 AM

I don't think we're limited by cities, so how about something like "FOFC Simmers"

Yeah, as soon as I decide on the team name.

dbd1963 03-22-2008 12:58 AM

How about you put the team in Jim's (the owner of Solecismic) hometown? Though I can't remember what that is..

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.

No problem. I'm guessing you want us to PM you in the game instead of searching for each one of us.

larrymcg421 03-22-2008 01:07 AM

Either way. Shouldn't be hard to find you guys.

21C 03-22-2008 01:08 AM

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.

FBPro 03-22-2008 01:09 AM

Biff Chuckington signs with Quito Lions and is penciled is as the starting QB.

larrymcg421 03-22-2008 01:11 AM

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).

Crim 03-22-2008 01:12 AM

LB Crim Bronco is on the Wroclaw Thrashers. Come and get me, larry!
