Danilo,
If you want to make a public page with a list of donators… I’d use their “game name” (not real names), and include date and amount of donation.
If a player doesn’t want even their “game name” on the public list, then use “anonymous” for their donation. But I think a public page could be a nice thing… and a good reminder of when I last contributed, and how much… and maybe it will encourage others to get their name on the “donator list”.
Javier is right! The very LEAST we can do is cover the server costs!!!
I just donated $25 to cover this month. If 12 guys do that, we’re good for the year.
I know not everyone can afford it… but give something, if you can.
And you guys that CAN afford it… and you know who you are!… break open the wallet, get your credit card out, and make a donation.
The game is worth it, and it’ll make you feel better.
I do! :)
Cheers!
No Worries
Cheers…
yes i guess the friendlies is the biggest issue. people getting used to it isn’t tho anyway its just an idea I’m just getting tired of the 8 leagues we have now.
Cheers…
We’re still not sure about international teams…it could be a good thing in the future, we’ll definitely go back to this discussion at some point. Thanks for your suggestion Polat, it’s always a pleasure to have new users posting in the forums :-)
Cheers!
It is something we could do, but I have some reasons for not doing that:
-we’d have to rearrange national and international cup matches to conform with this new structure
-it would be harder to schedule friendlies with teams using different “calendars”
-if you changed to a team with a “calendar” different than the team you previously managed you have to get used to this new calendar
As a positive thing I’m happy to tell you and everybody else that our tick time has improved after a few changes. The last league tick on FastTicker took around 3000 seconds, much less than the 3800 seconds it was taking lately. If you consider that we still have room for improvement and that Danilo was working in the database structure at the same time the tick was running we can expect it to be a little bit faster. Let’s wait for the next league tick to see the results.
Cheers!
ok if you want to lower the tick time i have relised that all the games are on 1 tick, example in every league the matches are played on tick 18. would it help if we spread it out. then we can get the turkish league yehh.
Cheers…
i think it will be a step forward if we start bringing in internationals into the game. i think the top 50 or so in the managers rankings at the start of a season should be assigned a team or even there choice. rubysoccer would be muuch more interesting like this because i think the managers rankings is a bit useless. just an ideaa..
Cheerss…
I’ll be honest with you Polat, I really want to add more countries to the game as soon as possible, I haven’t done that for 2 reasons:
1) We don’t have that many users yet so most teams would be CPU controlled
2) The tick time could increase too much, specially when league matches are played
We need to address problem number 2 first and lower the tick time to a reasonable value (we’re working on it). Afterwards we can try to advertise RubySoccer to attract more users. Believe me, I’m looking forward to it, having smaller countries like Venezuela and Cyprus will really add a new challenge to the game :-)
Cheers!
Heyy guys this is polat i was just wondering when you legends can start doing the turkish league ive been waiting a long time now i really want to be Galatasaray ill give donations if needed
Cheers…
Well, I’ve performed a few changes and it is working on IE 7 and Firefox 3 beta 5… Stramazi, is it working for you now? I will test on other browsers tomorrow.
cheers!
Let me add that it depends on your browser versus your screen resolution :)
cheers
Thank you Castilho,
But, in time, it happens in Firefox and in Internet explores too. I’ve both.
Regards
Stramazi
Well, i ended up not sleeping. But I did other very important stuff that was on the queue for a long time. I will fix this later, sorry guys.
cheers!
Today RubySoccer suffered a big structure migration. This should (hopefully) considerably improve our overall performance. In the beginning we can experience a few bugs, but they will all be fixed as usual. Please help us with feedback.
I know but unfortunately i have no credit card. Otherwise I had done a donation right now.
Hey guys, sorry but i just have to sleep, I am too tired. :D. Will fix this tomorrow!
cheers
It is really a problem, depending on your browser. Ive changed a lot on our javascript tier, still have to adjust that tooltip. I will do it asap, probably tonight.
thanks for reporting.
cheers
Hy,
In the formation screen, since yesterday 13/05, I’m not capable to see the players atributes when I pass the mouse over the player names!
I’ve already talked to my friend that plays here too an nothing wrong with his team! What could be happening?
Thanks
Stramazi
Hello Rubyadicts!
We have that red message alert in the login page!!
All of us want to enjoy this game lots and lots of years but…
They need some money to pay server costs, hey, let’s go to send them some money…
It’s very easy and quick!
Please, if they have losses too much time I supose the will finally close this game.
Javier, Atletico de Madrid’s Manager in FastTicker.
Yep, it is not good. I will see if I can get sometime to fix this tonight.
cheers

The last part of the box looks hidden under the browser botom gray “status bar”
JD, what is your screen resolution?
From JD in the admins topic:
“Hi,
Now I’m not able to see completly the “player attribute box” at the end of the screen, only half of it."
I need a lot of friendlies on both dimensions again!
Thanks!
As promised, I have changed a lot of things related to our formation screen (mainly around drag and drop). My focus was to improve our internet explorer user experience, but I hope everybody can get a good performance gain. I would appreciate some feedback on that. There are still some points I want to at least improve (tooltip position, line breaks on player names, etc). And I still have lots of plans to some features adds/changes in this area.
From now on matches played will have a man of the match whose name will be in bold in the match report. The man of the match is selected based on the player rating. If more than one player have the highest rating we have some extra points given in the match logic that can be used to decide the one with the best performance. This information is also available in the player history.
I’ve made a few changes to our donations/expenses structure. Paypal is still our way to do it, but the system now tracks internally our finances – this gives us the possibility to have private/public pages to show individual and generic financial information. If we need help, a red message alert is displayed at the login page.
I would like to hear your opinion on this. Mainly on:
What kind of information you would like us to show? In what level of access?
cheers
Don’t worry JD, we have a bug about that. I’m working on something else right now, maybe I can do this one right after.
Cheers!
Can you please change something about matches between same countrie teams in the first rounds .. after 1st match on CL, when all teams come together … two teams of the same countrie (Portugal) against each other. Not “fair”
