injury number 11... 17days...
can anyone stop the curse?!
2008-11-30 12:50:10
I've lost track of my injuries, but my star striker is out for 10 days.

Team of hot-heads there. Gotta tell your players to cool it and stop going in studs up from behind in the penalty box. ;)
Bad luck dude. You get a freakish game from time to time. It's a bit harsh, but sometimes you have to deal with some unavailability through suspension or injury. And being a Melbourne Victory supporter, I know all about teams playing with 9-men... if anything it lifts the intensity and increases fatigue.

You should leave your best players on the bench this weekend mate. You won't get any injuries then!

You know, I'm tempted to buy him just to see how fast a divine pace player runs around :P

How is Aussie Bhoys coming second without a manager?
2008-12-01 13:02:56
Shore ChillZ is manger-less too. And they went bot before Aussie Bhoys, I think.

Maybe II.02 just sucks?
2008-12-01 13:29:35
So do the rules for humans taking over from the highest ranked bot teams apply to div 2 or only to div 3?
2008-12-01 13:32:57
bottom 2 divisions.
2008-12-01 13:41:40
*sigh*
2008-12-01 16:18:20
you cant be serious wanting to throw new players straight into div II?
2008-12-01 22:40:05
When you see how well some human ones are doing in II I say why not!
:p

I wish a few new players went into div 2. The rest of you might get a bit more interested in the issue. Hell, it would be my dream come true if an A-league team got replaced. Our league has now been totally destroyed competition wise. I now have 4 league games to be interested in. The rest of the season is a big fat waste of time. With the amount of sponsorship and attendance I get I can't compete in the Australia Cup and friendlies don't mean squate. My chances of moving to div 2 are deadset minimal. This rule has turned div 3 into the same quality of slum as div 4. The top ranked div 3 team has scored almost 10 goals a game. What a joke.

To be fair Arsenal was a bot anyway and really wasn't anything to rave home about. Secondly it's not unusual for div 3 to have some team score 10 goals a game, even before this was introduced. Most of your argument lacks any sort of fact other than your opinion, the only thing it has done will lower your sponsorship and I've been on the same page there ever since about midway through the season when it became clear that's all it was doing.

Think of it this way, when Minkee promotes (hopefully this season) you've now got easier fodder to gain one of the automatic promotion spots to get into II rather than have a difficult playoff.

The purpose is because a new team is quite capable of beating half the teams in that division hence why they get added and it was considered they had a better chance of remaining in the game with human competitors (apparently they had evidence on this but I'd be a bit concerned it's not actually what's been happening). They've got no chance in div 2 of winning even 1 game whereas at least in III they have a solid chance of winning 50% give or take a little.

4 new users in my league... 1 stayed... Thanks Uber!
that's a 25% success rate...
If it carries on like that I can see Uber and I stop playing and in the end Sokker will lose players.

I'd rather play a bot like Arsenal that was decaying slowly than a Newbie that I will trash with twice the margin... I've lost load of sponsorship money, loads of fans this season. Ok this time I look good to promote but until I do I won't stop saying my word and even if I promote I will still say my word because Uber and Rick(the other user in my league) do deserve the support according to the effort they put in the game week in week out.

This rule doesnt work and you know how much effort I've put in this, you can just see how active the forum of my league is (III.12), it's more active than any DIII and DII forums (fact).
We even got AL and DII users posting to help the newbies so they get various opinions... how much more can we do to keep them in? I don't think we can do more...

Newbies in IV like before that's all I have to say... that new rule doesnt work, it is proven for Australia and makes more damages in our little community than goods.
