    So I just took the league leaders from each division and compared, the highest ranked manager (man city) ended up with most points anyway. Oh and I only counted boards.ie league posts for last 3 days instead of 30 as there's 10 pages alone for just those 3 days and I don't have all night :)

    Boca ranking 41/47 = 6 points
    Av points 2.38= 238 -10 =228points div 3 loyalty 81 games = 8.1 points
    boards posts 3 = 1.5 points
    Total points = 243.6

    Flamengo ranking 17/47 = 30 points
    Av points 1.83 = 183 - 15 = 168 points div 4
    loyalty 344 games = 34.4 points
    boards posts 1 =. 5
    Total points = 232.9

    Ac Milan 33/47 = 14 points
    Av points 2.36 = 236 - 5 = 231 points div 2
    Loyalty 83 games = 8.3 points
    Boards posts 0
    Total points = 253.3

    Man city 5/47 = 42 points
    Av points 2.04 = 204 points
    Loyalty 286 games = 28.6 points
    Boards posts 1=. 5 points
    Total points = 275.1

    That's class

    Well lads, looking to do a switch from Kiev to sporting if there is no objections!

    They have been free for ages, so should just be a case of quit and apply.

    You will never be let in Kiev again if you somehow keep Sporting up while Kiev go down, there is a chance!

    Will be good to see Sporting survive the upcoming onslaught even though I had my eye on some of them.

    Who's the guy that applied for Rangers on boards????

    I don't think he is on boards, is he? Apparently he's Argentinian.

    I take it by the 4 stars so he's not getting the Rangers gig?


    Few days from buying from unmanaged is turned on and a randomer applies for one of the best unmanaged clubs??

    Sorry but fairly questionable timing

    Or not..... same for Shaktar, guess the rules just are not that important anymore...


    Pity

    All i'll say is keep an eye on the ins and outs of those 2 clubs. I have a feeling they're going to be friends of current users or duplicate accounts that will either sell their current players for cash to said user or buy up the good players from unmanaged for cash and subsequently sell them on to said user. Once their job is done, they'll quit and never return.

    It has happened previously but nothing was proven

    The Rangers manager is friends with Baza Rakus?

    The other guy is Irish anyhow...

    The more managers the better obviously but we want boardsies at the same time.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭tupac_healy


    I enquire as to weather or not rules have been broken and get the bold treatment whilst 2 others have implied these new managers may not be how do you say 'above board' and u guessed it...

    Nothing.

    I'll probably get a holiday for this but we both know it's got nothing to do with new managers anyway...


    BTW impeccable timing finding 2 managers (with oddly similar style usernames???) To stopgap these clubs before unmanaged kicks in!


    Imagine that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,119 ✭✭✭Colemania


    Rangers is the suspicious one seeing as they have so many players that will be high in demand.

    I'll be baffled if tupac gets a warning and if he does, you may as well give myself and the other lads warnings too....

    To be fair to all, the charter does state that you need to be registered on boards.ie to take a club, and furthermore you need to have above 50 posts to take a club outside Division 4.

    While this may be the case for the recent additions, it is the not knowing that causes suspicion. It should be known.

    Moving on from the above, the charter needs updating if we have dropped the 50 post thing which may have been discussed before- but I can't be arsed checking back.

    The rules are there to protect the game world.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,576 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wilberto


    Leon Leon is the Boards.ie user Rule Supreme. He applied for Shaktar after messaging me not long after I advertised the jobs in the fantasy games forum. He currently has 84 boards.ie posts.

    Cross posting with the mod warning in the other thread, but discussing mod warnings is against the rules of the entire site, and is specifically written into the charter as well.

    If you have an issue with mod warnings, PM the mods to discuss it. But please drop discussing mod warnings on thread, as it only serves to disrupt thing.

    (And goes without saying, if you want to discuss THIS mod warning, please PM me)

    Tupac is not at fault here I believe everything that the other managers including tupac have said was gonna happen I.e sell top players and leave, is happening.
    Mac did you send the message "cash is worthless" to the new incoming managers like you have done with all the other incoming managers?

    He seems like a decent lad

    Yes maybe they are experienced but I thought that we all agreed that this gameworld is different than others and that Mac or someone else was gonna send incoming managers a pm on the transfers that go through here I.e multiple players for 1 player and that cash isn't as attractive in this gameworld as it may be in others

    I had planned to make a special announcement as soon as he was accepted once I got on in the evening, but then everything had kicked off before I had the chance.
