If we had 32 countries we would have a group stage ;-)
You’re only sacked when you go below 1% and someone with a better manager ranking than you is applying for your job. If you go below 1% and nobody better than you is applying your rating goes back to 1%.
Cheers
As you guys may have guessed from my lack of updates I haven’t been able to spend much time on RubySoccer development in the last couple weeks. I’ve been working extra hours on my “real life” job and have been completely drained of energy to work here. I was even fired for inactivity on MediumTicker…lol
This is hilarious, it sounds like:
“I asked 31 number of girls to sleep with me and only one agreed while my friend asked 7 and 3 of them agreed, so I am quitting and start to play for the other team!” :)
So good luck with whatever you do! :D

One of the reasons to quit… what is this? Last WC and European champion gets knocked out like this?…
Why can´t WC starts with a group stage like reality?..
I think it’s the board, I’m not 100%.
Does the board sack you, or is it a case of someone applying for your job when you are less than 10% in favour with the board?
I have been sacked from both games in the past month and would be interested to know if it was people applying for my job or the board actually sacking me.
Yeah, I agree with you Berhan, introducing the money back will bring with it problems we wanted to get rid of (inflation, cheating) so we will have to introduce something else with it. I like your suggestions here and might pick some of them to start with, such as wage match by other players and lower morale for having too many players of the same position. It is probably the toughest on the list, but also the one I feel needed working the most as having no money balance had more negative than positive impacts overall, even though introducing the Investments was something I really liked.

Oh, you chose the toughest of all features to change.
That one needs serious design dude.
For example people will abuse it to buy free/cheap mediocre players and sell it for twice the money, so you have to add penalties on morale so as I see it you have to release the MORALE enabled at the same time.
Some other considerations to make:
1) When buying a player what will the player have impact on:
a) Role model for younger players (max skill + 5%?)
b) Wage issues with other players, similar skilled will want a new contract to match the new guys pay
c) If more than 3 players on certain position, morale will go down on certain players, as will their development ratio
2) Answer to this logical question: was this a good move for the club?
a) see 1/c
b) skill/potential-wise is this player better than the rest of the players already in the club?
c) set an arbitrary nr of years/season before player is sell-able, depending on the quality of the player?!
- need to explain this one. Normally a manager should be able to bid on ANY player, even if player is not transferlisted. 2c will ensure that certain players can not be bid on for a certain period of time, if the player is too good for the club.
3) Answer to this logical question: was this a good move for the player?
a) yes money is great, role promised is captaincy and highest earner clause is ON.
b) specially 32+ year old players, can jump into coaching later on, and I realize this is asking for a feature, but this can be explored
c) age/skill/country-wise is it interesting for a player to move to your club? The big-club thing in SoccerSim comes into mind..
4) Answer to this logical question: is the player willing to work for you?
a) what kind of manager are you? a Developer of stars, “Cow trader”, a winner of titles?
b) depending on ages/skill the player could change view in his life and may change opinion about you?
c) newspaper feature bump, player interview where player stating that he would want to work with manager/club/league…shouldn’t be too hard to implement.
Bringing back just the money will change nothing, sure you could save 5Bn and buy whoever but that brings back the reason to cheat.
Some thoughts anyway.

We’ll keep investments and put back the club money concept. I still need to figure out a way to keep the transfer and wage budgets at the same time, but if it proves to be too complicated I’ll just get rid of them, at least for now.
The squad size limit should be removed once player morale is implemented. As we have a very limited amount of time to dedicate to the game at the moment we are trying to focus on one thing at a time and the highest priority from the poll seems to be the club money, followed by player morale and match engine.
There was mention that squad sizes might be increased or the limit on the number of players being removed at some point, I think this was at the same time as player moral was meant to be rolled out. Is this idea of an increased squad size still being thought about or considered?
and investments ? i would like to see: investments stay, a return of the club money and have player moral
It’s not! I’ve just released the latest poll results, check it out:
http://www.rubysoccer.com/forums/5/topics/1078
What would you like us to change or introduce in the game?
20% – Change match engine from simulation to statistics based
33% – Bring back the club money balance
20% – Finish introducing player morale
10% – Increase the number of clubs in the Club World Cup
11% – Management cycles: after a fixed number of seasons everyone has to apply for jobs again
6% – No Answer
I’ll focus the little time I have on bringing back the money concept. At the same time I’ll try to introduce some measures to contain inflation. I’ll try to keep the transfer and wage budgets at the same time, if possible.
Cheers
so whats the word whats next ?
Hey guys, the webpage of userscripts.org has changed, the teams list can now be find at:
http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/54608.html
Yeah, exactly my point, wrong place to talk about that and also a bit useless, I think we can keep it on e-mail level, but man what a reading, you should see those e-mails :)
I like the idea of using Davison as advisor on future stuff, it’s gonna be very nice to read I recon.
/BK
Davison and Berhan, can you please not have religion arguments in here? Appreciate that.
Cheers
Cub level is a different beast. So much regulations.
Without partnering with a big brother it’s not much chance of doing something significantly good.
I am undecided.
First things first, that is national team management, and if it does well, I have my ideas doing more but too early to tell at the moment.
/BK
oh right on mate. are you going the facebook route ? i sure hope so. i keep my phone a phone :P also are you going to have club level ?
I’ll use Davison as an advisor on upcoming enhancements/fixes ;-)
no, EU president, that shit need some serious stirring!!

lol me for prime minister of England. id fix alot and i know where id start.
berhan wheres your game ? link ?
its never too late. with effort this game could meet its potential
Sorry guys, you lost me.
You have been walking the same path Peter and Martin did.
I’ve been there with my game, and know what I am talking about, I told you this before, it’s too late for you. I am predicting the same fate as SoccerSim.
A hint: look at your two last posts and you might spot the reason why I predict this is over, really not that hard to see..
