Hi Stramazi.
If you really want to manage Internacional, please convince Santos manager to leave Santos to me.
Saaaaantooooos!!!!
Ok, thanks for the explanation!
I was thinking about being the first one as a possible advantage, but it goes random. That´s ok!
alexandre: i remember that i tried to do that. but who knows, we will try again.
smithers : thank you, and we already have stuff for adding holland. we did not do so yet because we are growing the game at the the rate we need. for now, more countries would be a waste.
cheers
About the job applications, there are no advantages on being the first to apply for a team. When the tick happens, all the applications will be equally considered – and that means random wins. Any lost applications are bad luck – and nothing else – reasoned.
The same goes for matches. The match is simulated, and large results usually have very good reasons. I dont think Dereck have won all his games with this kind of score board (i can check on our database backup later). We dont know Dereck and, even if we knew, we dont (and wont) favor anybody. If we developers were involved in such an absurd, the main purpose of this game would be lost – which is to have nice and clean fun.
Other than that, our company boss is also playing it, so he would be the most favored guy for sure :D .
To conclude, we really enjoy feedback. But be careful when reporting things, as I dont think anybody here likes to be called a “cheater” (Derek is included on that group). If he had such a sequence of unbelievable victories (and here is another point, usually when we accuse somebody of something we have to be very careful gathering enough data to support our ideas), it was his merit – or maybe some bug that we are not aware about yet.
Cheers
ps: i would like to remember you guys that the match simulation will, for sure, have a lot of improvements. we know that this is very important, but we also decided to not abandon the rest of the game, as the match simulation has already many very nice results and is not “THAT” bad.
Toni, you are allowed to have teams in both dimensions, though you gave a perfect description: if we have room problems, we will ask the managers to resign from one of their teams.
cheers
For those who have taken a team in the first MediumTicker tick we’d like to announce that all players (except the 16 years old ones) have alredy advanced one level due to some wrong data we had. Because of that the next level up for those players will take a little longer. That won’t happen o FastTicker.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Are we now allowed a team only in one of the two dimensions or can we play at both as long as there are free teams for newcomers?
I now got a team at 3-ticker but might be interested to play also the faster game if we are allowed to do so.
Yes Lobba,
I woul’d like to claim for the same reason. Recently I’ve asked some explanation for Gabriel Cesario about what was happening in Second Division of Brasilian game. The manager called Dereck Schilte NEVER lost a game in the league, and only winning by 50×0, 32 × 1 etc.. But the biggest imposture that I think is the same Dereck take Palmeiras team from Brazil, even if Lobba was the first one to aply for a manager job. It happens the same with me, when I was aplying first International team and Hilton Bertelli take it. Would it be a friend game envolving the developers and this favored guys? Please developers, would you explain how can it hapen?
Well, I´d like to know what is the criteria to select the managers for the teams. Yesterday I was the first one to apply a job in Palmeiras (MediumTicker)and I was rejected. A friend of mine was the very first applying a job in Internacional and got rejected too.
Can you guys explain us the criteria you use for this as we are in reseted gameworlds and managers have no historic yet?
OK Thanks I wont be sad.
P.S. Can you hook me up with Internacional again and ill be your bestest friend in the whole wide world.
Alexandre: the european ranking was taken from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficients , from the “Ranking for 2008-09 UEFA competitions” table.
smithers: Holland will be added next time we add more countries :-)
We deleted Beta 1 and Beta 2 and created two new dimensions LeeHamo. Don’t be sad, it will be fun!
Cheers.
Sure, we’re waiting for our friend Fernando França (aham!) to provide us with an icon for countrry ranking.
Yeah, I noticed that yesterday, I was just too tired to look into it :-)
The missing screen won’t have much information until the next season anyway. Thanks for reporting!
Looking very good!
All compliments to the creators!
One thing:
“As a finishing touch
God created the Dutch”
Keep Holland in mind ;) I would love to play Ajax!
I think it is just a startup. The game now will have a dynamic country ranking. If the spanish teams don´t do good on the international cups, the rank will start to fall. And if italian teams start winning they will go up.
I lost my team why?
Im sooooo gutted.
Hey guys, are you planning to differ the icons of international competitions from the country ranking?
cheers :D
guys, can you explain why Spain has better ranking than Italy? Why England is ahead of Italy? Any explanation?
thanks once again, and cheers!
When you click in one of the countrys in the ranking it gets beast error!
cheers
maybe you should open a topic in announcements telling people they can contribute with interface stuff :)
just a thought.
cheers :D
yeah i understand danilo, i’m no good with this kinda stuff, if i was i would certainly help. I want many things and i dont do nothing, i just play. Well, thats my part of the job right now…
cheers!
:)
well, in this case it would be “design”, not implement :) … and we are both not so good picture makers. at some point ($) we will try to do something (or ask our friend fernando to help us) but, until that, if any of you guys want to help (not only on the map, but with other user interface stuff too), please fell free to e-mail us :) .
our email is admin at rubysoccer.
cheers!
$ => I dont know when that point may be. But I would say not so soon (maybe 2 months), as we have other “more important” (well, the importance of this is relative to you guys, in fact… if a lot of people claim for a map fast, a map we shall have) stuff to work on.
danilo when will you guys implement a map for all the countrys ss style? i no its not important but would give a more professional look to the game :P
cheers
as you may already know, today we had our first reset. I wanted to thank you guys for your support during the “first round” on rubysoccer.
Also, you all are welcome and invited to join our new round! Moreover, we have a larger number of teams, which means that everybody is encouraged to bring friends over (well, we have limits… but for now we are ok :) ).
We hope you guys enjoy RS new features, though there is a lot of stuff to add.
cheers and have fun!
Our first big update is now ready. We have 2 new dimensions: FastTicker (6 ticks per day) and MediumTicker (3 ticks per day), both with the same countries and competitions.
Technical changes:
-database migration from mysql 4 to mysql 5
Improvements:
-enhanced player generation
-4 new countries: Argentina, Portugal, Germany and France
New Features:
-manager history
-international cups: Champions League, UEFA Cup, Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana
Yeah, it is a pity! We won’t have enough countries to make a group phase. The good side is, without the group phase it took less time to develop the whole logic and you’ll be able to enjoy the international cups sooner :-D
oh! im already missing the group phase in champions league :(
Exactly Samir.
The order the teams are processed is random. Lets say you apply for Barcelona, Porto and Real Madrid in that order. If Real Madrid is processed first and you get it, you are out for the rest of the teams. The first you “win” on the ramdom dispute is the one you will get. Right Danilo/Gabriel?
