Thanks Hugo! The blank page is a good ideia, specially when we have shortlists.

Manuel, Macau is not on the paypal list I guess, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it. Can you think of another way to donate? Not sure if you could make a deposit in a bank account (supposing the banks we have accounts in have branches in Macau). Let’s see what can be done.

Cheers!

p.s.: tick error is fixed, the current tick is the regular one.

The colors are a good suggestion and also the logos. I kinda changed my mind about them, we’ll try to add them :-)

Cheers!

Sorry guys, me and Danilo were out last night with my wife and his girlfriend to see I am Legend in the movies (great movie by the way). Only when I woke up this morning I realized there was a tick error. The tick running now is the regular one, should end in about half an hour.

Cheers!

Sorry, I didn’t see your message in time. You’re able to cancel applications in your profile page (4th icon in the second row) if you need that in the future.

Cheers!

Well, you can increase donators by 1 :) I like the philosophy…

Once I said to start the Tranfers pages with a blank page, and then players could choose what type of transfers they want to see!

You could use this blank page one day for shortlists, and meanwhile you could start puting some google ads in many pages, starting in this one! This could get you some funds…

Cheers…

PS: BTW Fast tick is still updating… In aprox 30 minutes it will tick again!!!

Post from spartacus55 on Improvements topic:

“UK Cup is better known as FA Cup.”

I’ve just changed that, thanks spartacus! And please, posts about improvements should be made on this topic, that one is meant to have only admin posts. :-)

Cheers!

Not on our plans, not sure if it would be good for the negotiation process.

anyway, are there plans to get info after an turn (tick) what someone has to offer a player to be the highest bidder? – Just considering bids made in the last, completed turns, not the current ?

Philipp, I assure you cpu teams don’t look at the other offers before making their own. This team was only lucky to have offered a little more than you. We wouldn’t put such a logic in the game, it wouldn’t be fair :-)

Cheers!

for transfer listed and free TLed player the logic is as followed, right?
You offer a wage and after 3 turns you get the player or not with your entered wage amount. Meanwhile you get no response if there was or is already a better/higher wage offered for the player.

But why is it, that an a.i./cpu team has obviously the advantage of knowing the other, already put in, offers? In my case: i offered a player 13.250. Later on in the last turn another new a.i. team made an approach and got the player, his bid: 13.266 …

Just to let everybody know, we have changed to that intermediate plan I mentioned. So far so good, the navigation seems to be much better. Let’s wait for the next FastTicker tick before taking any conclusions.

A little question, sorry if it was said somewhere :

If you win your national cup without being in the league in the places qualifying for an international cup , does it give you a place there ?
I believe it’s not the case for the moment is it ?
I just won the national cup in "medium ticker " but I’m in second division :p

Hi all,

I just registered and tried to join a team in MediumTicker, but when I click on “Manage this team” I get an error like this:

NoMethodError in GameController#manage_team
undefined method `season’ for nil:NilClass
RAILS_ROOT: /rubysoccer/config/..

+ a whole lot of other text. And the same happens for all teams.

Is there something wrong or is it just me?

Cheers!
Mika

RubySoccer has been pretty unstable these days due to our server change. The main reasons to that change are the several restrictions we had on our previous server, where we were not free to install everything we needed, had some random restarts (which occasionally ocurred during the ticks), misteriously defined cpu share and non-acceptance of paypal as a form of payment.

On this new server we tried to use a different configuration, which looked pretty good in the beginning, but once the ticks run the overall performance was totally compromised due to the low amount of memory available. Unfortunately we have moved back to almost the same configuration we had in the previous server, even though we have more room for changes and growth in the new one.

That said, we’re having a hard time deciding what to do. We’re planning to improve our plan so that we have more memory available and therefore a better navigation performance even when the tick is running and also faster ticks. Ideally we should upgrade to a plan twice as good as ours in order to benefit for all the changes we’ve made for that improved configuration, but we’re not willing to pay for that at the moment, so what’s probably gonna happen is that we take an intermediate one. Hopefully that should be enough for now.

Our game is free and will remain this way, that’s part of our philosophy. Donations are there to help us paying our server and domain costs and improve the service in the future when the game becomes more mature. Let’s put the numbers in the table so that everybody clearly knows where we stand:

-total expenses with servers and domain: US$114,70
-total donations (paypal taxes deducted): US$70,38
-number of donators: 5
-monthly expense on our current plan: US$20,00
-monthly expense on the intermediate plan: US$27,00
-monthly expense on the ideal plan: US$36,00

In the future we’ll have a donations page to display this kind of information.

Remember, we’re not here asking for donations, even though they would certainly help improving the game experience, all we want is make it clear for everybody where we stand infra-structure and financially-wise so you can understand all the unstability we had lately. We’re looking forward to fix that as soon as possible.

Let’s go play and have some fun! :-)

p.s.: Wow, this got to be the longest post I’ve ever written!
