  1. ok i'm gonna do a few recaps of the previous events that happend in mmatycoon, The managers that didn't follow the forums every time will be aware of all the stuffs. http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/graphic-fr-3ee6cb453b59b64777a44b76ee65c86f.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-adeea21cfea56dc61af4e354d8abaeb5.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/illustration-fr-6acffb3fe36b9ec774275cd08b4c0928.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/art-fr-3e3798a135450b830251feaa6fb110de.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-f7eadbd3a3ea0f00f893536a15181734.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/illustration-fr-6f0d96180ffa7022ba7176c5ea73861e.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/agence-fr-25eacea738252dd072e3645b19e7b1e1.html New (lasts are in chronological order): http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-6f1f91e64dad809ea2724513d7203fd6.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/graphic-fr-0bf35dddee5e9b8c21c94770d36ebf9e.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-44dc2f1e5590c4e4e9a714e14c6478df.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/designer-fr-b9312eefd33d19bfac635eead1dc2c4b.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/art-fr-3e3798a135450b830251feaa6fb110de.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/communication-fr-1610872377ac920d6ccd44ce6d5b62f7.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/creation-fr-1600b35cd66c41dd16964c2cd3bcda5b.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/graphiste-fr-c431b3547292620bdd9637a2dd67868e.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/agency-fr-04df141313cc1d4fccb579dd9d517a29.html news here: edited 1 may: About tony Maggio: -------- http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/graphique-fr-495031059564c15c7edaa40342970791.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-5c57698ec086b55cb6c0eefb855d5c34.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/studio-fr-911d6dc51c774137f7d1a98317271313.html --------- http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/communication-fr-3271bf99b29e39863dafe6b1b98ef7a6.html http://www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/pub-fr-71030370c12281058b797da72928a999.html

  2. I think we should add the ability to call out other tycoon fighters as a post fight speech option. Maybe add the check box that says call out fighter and then have a blank box next to it similar to contract/sponsor boxes where we can put in a fighters ID number and be able to call out anyone in the tycooniverse

  3. EASY BUTTONS & TIME SAVERS FTW Help the userbase not BURN OUT by making their lives all around a little easier. Here are some very basic (imo) changes that need to be made ASAP. +1 this POST to increase the probability of getting something done. Clicking on the no sponsors or fighter is unsigned logo should result in a pop up to an offer sheet or at the very least a hyperlink to these pages with the ID number automatically put in. https://mmatycoon.com/clothingmanagersponsor.php https://mmatycoon.com/orgnewcontracts.php if you own an org, when you click on this logo there should be a popup (or at least a link connecting you) to a contract offer page/sheet. if you own a clothing/nutrition company, clicking on this logo should result in a sponsorship offer/sheet. If recruiting or sending sponsors this way, we shouldn't be required to input the ID numbers of fighters inside the box. It should appear in the Fighter ID(s) column like below. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, PLEASE ADD A SELECT ALL BUTTON TO THIS. It can go at the top, or the bottom. I would also like to see an Auto-Renewal option for sponsorships. That would be super useful and a big time saver for a tedious task. Sponsorships don't really equate to profit. The money you have to spend to pay for sponsors is basically a loss. Let's not make the generous sponsors of tycoon endure cruel and unusual punishment of clicking every single fucking checkbox to re-send sponsors... REMOVING CLUTTER / FIX BROKEN SHIT MMA Tycoon :: Statistics (Year) - this page hasn't been updated since 2010. While it would've been cool to see updated yearly, it's just a waste of space now. You can delete it from existence, and nobody will miss it. The p4p ranking display in the commentary is and has been broken for year(s). If you can't fix it to make it properly display p4p rank and weight class ranks prior to the fight, just remove it and get rid of it. Reveal Hiddens is one of the coolest features to ever be implemented into the game imo. But you must FIX INJURY PRONENESS asap. It's programmed backwards. This guy scored a bad injury proneness rating (meaning he was prone to being injured) and his true injury value would be 17/150. I can't confirm if selecting injury proneness adds +30 to the injury proneness hidden, but if it does, then high injury proneness is a bad thing and selecting the never gets injured hidden actually makes your fighter more likely to get injured by +30 Add former #1 P4P Fidel "Pinoy Savage" Puno to the MMATycoon Hall of Fame. (being able to reveal his hiddens would be a bonus) Add former #1 P4P Joseph "Huesos" Jones to HOF Add former #1 P4P Barack Lesnar Add former #1 P4P Jesus "Chuey" Gonzalez Add former #1 P4P YB Sol Remove Ferdinand Cortes (Wolf-Gate) from Hall of Fame Fix names on some historic fighters that were changed by agent saboteurs: Mike Evans back to Phillip Dale The Coach back to Alistair Overeem Overoid Rei Trevis back to Anton Chigurh ADD CITIES(this will be the only thing the community doesn't unanimously agree on) In the USA you have Hilo and LA. How often has the UFC (or any other organization) ran events in those 2 cities IRL? How many of the TOP GYMS in the world are based in those two cities compared to a city like Miami? We have no Southern representation. Add Miami. I don't even like Miami but American Top Team has been a staple of the MMA community and based in Florida for the majority of MMA's glory years. American Top Team, Sanford MMA, MMA Masters, Blackzillions (RIP) - there are nearly 20 ATT's in the state of Florida, there's a bunch of Carlson Gracie and Gracie Berra BJJ gyms. Some of the BEST FIGHTERS in the WORLD train in SOUTH FLORIDA. The UFC has ran like 8 events since 2018 in Florida and expect a lot more in the near future. The UFC has run: 17 events in Florida (Miami, Tampa, Orlando Jacksonville) 8 events in Miami (Miami, Hollywood, Sunrise - all the same shit) 5 events in LA (16 events if you add Anaheim and Inglewood) 6 events in NYC (probably more if you count all the shitholes around NYC) 0 events in Hawaii UFC events outside the USA: 38 in Brazil 31 in Canada 27 in the UK 17 in Abu Dhabi 16 in Australia 9 in Japan 6 in Mexico 6 in China I said add cities, but going beyond Miami just leads to a lot of debate and some people want to scrap cities all together. So I'll separate the rest of my suggestions in the next post after the OP. Adding 1 CITY will not hurt the market, especially 1 that is guaranteed to be a popular destination and not an empty barren wasteland like Hilo. Adding others outside of Miami could end up like Hilo, Tokyo, Sydney, St. Petersburg, or Helsinki (sorry finns). Miami diverts the population and presense in LA, LV, and NY - all popular spots among the userbase. @MMATycoon @Alfred @TJMitchell @PBR @Zello @bjornmma1 @Mentor @CelticStryder @BuffMinion @762x39 @stpierrecanada @MarkyMark @Gutz @HareRumpler @Ramirez REMEMBER! This post is less about adding cities, and more about everything above it.

  4. OK, so this sucks but here goes. To cut a long story short, I'm having to delete Wolf and Aaron for cheating. The long story: Back in October 2015 when I started converting the site to a mobile site, Aaron helped me out and converted maybe 30 odd pages of the 200ish pages. I gave him a folder in FTP so he could check the pages were working properly. He was someone I'd talked to plenty of times, had him on Skype, he lives in the same city as me and actually works less than a mile away from my house, so I trusted him with that access. There was nothing important in that folder so I didn't really give it much of a second thought and actually forgot all about it. Since then, I'd talked to Aaron plenty more, have written an article for his fightplatform site, which he gave me admin access to etc.. However, a couple of weeks ago, some guys from the game came to me and pointed out that Wolf and Aaron had some very weird stuff going on in their gyms. Their fighters didn't appear to be training, yet were high skilled. So I checked it out and it was indeed fishy - they'd edited their fighters somehow to be far better than they should have been (including hiddens) but I didn't know how. As I say, I'd totally forgotten that I'd ever given him FTP at this point (this year's been pretty hectic with my first kid, getting married etc... turns out that stuff makes you pretty forgetful). So anyway, me and my programmer (and also people helping from the game) spent a couple of weeks trying to figure it out, programming in checks etc under the assumption it was SQL injection, access to an admin panel or through the forums maybe (hence the arcade disappearing, if you noticed that). It would have been nice to just ask straight up but we couldn't really risk that in case they did anything dodgy... I mean, we thought they were pretty sound people who were just fucking around and not doing anything malicious but you never know. So after programming a load of checks, we couldn't figure out what they were doing, so I just asked Wolf straight up yesterday and he fessed up straight away. I'm grateful for that, cos he could have been a dick about it and played dumb or given a false lead. Instead he apologised and told me straight away. It wasn't a total waste of time doing all those checks because it's useful to have them in place anyway. To explain what they actually did - basically nothing existing on the site was compromised, Aaron just wrote his own script, uploaded it to that FTP folder and ran it to edit their fighters' skills. Obviously I've deleted that FTP account now. I'm not actually deleting them, I've just changed their passwords for now and done a forced logout. I'll delete them properly once their fights are all done then retire the fighters to the Bahamas. All finances have been removed etc. I'm not editing their hype as that would screw over people they're fighting. Oh and if I've been shit at replying to your emails the last few weeks, this is why; it's been pretty stressful / busy. To pre-empt some questions. 1. Are you a fucking moron? Yup. Never trust anyone apparently. 2. How long's it been going on? I dunno, I haven't asked yet. I've only spoken to Wolf briefly. Aaron is in Thailand so I'll talk to him when he gets back. 3. Are any of the other alliance members in on it? We looked at their fighters and they looked OK. A couple of them aren't training properly but their fighters' skills look fairly representative of the amount of training they'd done. 4. What happens to fights that are already booked? I have set all their hiddens to 1, so if you're fighting one of them you've basically got a free win. If you want me to just cancel a booked fight if you are fighting one of them, let me know and I will do that. I've also cleared all finances. 5. Was the Russian hack anything to do with it? It wasn't them but maybe indirectly. I asked someone from the game to download a tool to try and find SQL injection possibilities. That tool might have been dodgy and sent that hack attempt our way if it sent a list of sites using the tool back to the programmers. If it was totally unrelated then it's a massive coincidence because we were using the tool that day and the day before. 6. Can you undo a result against their fighters for me? If people feel really strongly about it, I can write a script. I am OK with doing that but I would personally prefer to move on from wasting time on this as it's already wiped out 2 weeks. As it's my fault though, obviously I will do what people prefer.

  6. Since Ronda Rousey's KO loss to Holly Holm, she's been focusing on her life outside of the cage. During a recent press conference she was caught off guard when a surprise guest showed up to the stage for an interview. A cameraman captured Ronda's OMG CK is going to be here!?! moment. RR: I'm wet. CK: First off, gross - I wouldn't fuck you with Dana White's head. Second, I have that effect on women. Third, it's nice to meet you too. Lastly, stick to questions please. My time is valuable. Time is money. RR: How shocked were you when dinooo announced he would be leaving Convicted? Did he talk to you before he left? CK: It wasn't anticipated, but I'm not shocked. He's always been very active in tycoon chat so we were aware he had a lot of buddies outside of Convicted. RR: Did he talk to you before he left? CK: No. RR: Did he talk to any of you before he left? CK: The only one I'm aware of is LT. RR: Do you know what he discussed with Lance? Did they part on good terms? Rumors are circulating that LT assaulted dinooo during his departure from the Convicted Inc building. CK: We'll leave TMZ news to noob alliances. I have no recollection of that. Let's just say LT is loyal to Convicted. RR: Reports say LT hit him with a chair... CK: No comment. RR: ...Kicked him in the skirt on the way out... CK: No comment. GBK and fellow noobs celebrating at some shitty gay-pride festival when dinooo announced he left Convicted RR: Let's talk about the new alliance Dinooo started; Qlimax. CK: Seriously? RR: Dinooo, GBK, and Ruphus Duphus started it --- CK: The name, they really called it Qlimax? RR: Yes. CK: Qlimax what? RR: That's it. CK: What? RR: Just Qlimax. CK: Why? RR: He named it after some music festival he attended as a child. CK: You're fuckin kidding me, right? RR: No, I'm not. CK: No comment. dinooo protesting after Chuck Grace, a former Cocksmen, was voted into Convicted by the OG committee. He went full body shave and shirtless to show how serious he was. RR: There were rumors that there's been a rift between members in Convicted for a long time. Is that true? CK: No, I haven't heard that one yet. RR: They say it started sometime after Chuck Grace was voted into Convicted. That Dean was against the idea of adding a cocksmen to the alliance. CK: He just created an alliance called Qlimax with a former Cocksmen and a pikachu loving manchild GBK. I don't think he has any issues with cocks-or-men or the two combined in any way. RR: Did you just suggest that Dean Sutherland is.... CK: Look, we've all heard the rumors about Dinooo and his boy toy Dean Sutherland Jr. I'm not saying he is or isn't or that they're true or not true. It's just coincidental, that's all. The multi-plying noobs marching in Qlimatic fashion during the new alliance's annual march of pride. RR: Are you worried about Qlimax competing with Convicted as a top alliance? CK: No. RR: Do you think that they will dethrone you for alliance of the year? CK: No. RR: With Dinooo, GBK, and Duphus at the helm, you're not worried about their potential. CK: Dinooo wears a skirt, GBK still loves pokemon, and Duphus needs viagra to get out of bed. RR: Wow, you're really not worried about them at all? CK: No. They'll compete with the likes of LOD and Tycoon Alliance. They're a name change and a long way from competing with the likes of us. RR: Any closing statements? CK: We are Convicted. We are one. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

  7. Many years ago,..I lost "everything that mattered". I then spent 12 years in a self punishment cycle that included too much drug use and no concern for my own well being. A long story will be cut short to one day ,finally, looking myself in a mirror and seeing a glint of the warrior that I used to be, looking back at me for the first time in a decade. He said. "Now, you are just being stupid" When I found this MMATycoon, I was trying to sober up. My mind was a constant static of chaotic energy. I am now 3 months away from my 4 year mark in the game. I am incredibly sober (if you don't count weed =) just being honest). I am now back in my career field, Entertainment rigging- concerts and I am, again, one of the premium guys in the Oregon and Washington areas. My closest friends are pleasantly shocked, because , I was told "not many can come-back from where I was in my mind, heart and soul." I am currently ranked 33 of 21518 (0.15%) and IF this is the closest that I ever get to this peak, I wanted to shout it out now, that You have NO idea just how much this environment was the therapy of mind that helped me come back from that cliff that I was on. Thank you for that Kanis.

  8. BREAKING NEWS Today marks the biggest black stain in tycoon history since Mentor was busted for multi's and scamming big dick pills, when two sub-par managers at best, were busted for fraud, fight-fixing, and straight up being douche bags. Congratulations dickheads, you've turned Vendetta into the Enron of MMATycoon. You can read the full story here. To nobody at Convicted Inc's surprise, Wolf, Aaron, and Vendetta still suck. http://file2.answcdn.com/answ-cld/image/upload/w_200,h_200,c_fill,g_face:center,q_60/v1/tk/view/answ-images/6/b/a/7/8/9/6ba78969/c302746e234e16e492502119e618833e4f467af3.jpg (Wolf celebrating after every fixed fight) http://www.karday.ru/media/2016/11/01/klin-informer_right.jpg (Aaron celebrating after every fixed fight) http://24.media.tumblr.com/04ee87dfa22d55d291fd0582d87b56fe/tumblr_n44tmpqcn31sv7laoo1_500.gif (Aaron approaching Wolf after he was given access to an FTP folder) http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/1402953709vendetta.png The V for Vendetta once again stands for V for Vaginas. Thanks to two special pieces of garbage, Wolf and Aaron, the success of the entire alliance comes into question. Cheating was obviously the only way mediocre managers like Wolf, Aaron, and even Ryan Epicity (how else could this guy crack the top 10 lol.) could succeed. We've seen dirt balls in the past; Mentor, Steel Penn, Castor, but Wolf and Aaron take the cake and go down in history as the dirtiest scumbags to ever curse the game with their presence. Congratulations assholes, and good riddance.

  10. When you click the box beside vacate title you would get the following popup To make the contract looks less cluttered you can move the warning text to the pop up to confirm vacating the title Now fighters can vacate a belt without harming the org(If they are above 100 hype). A fighter wouldnt have to feel obligated to stay in the org because he holds a title. Maybe a fighter just wants to up the competition but also leave the org he is champion at on good terms.

  11. I think this is one of those things EVERY single person that plays this game should know, so that's why I decided to make this post. When you are putting points into your fighter on creation, which one of these strategies will be the best in the long run? Best way to spend 111 points: Fighter #1: Put only 1 point (USELESS) into SKill #1, and spend the maximum 110 points (WONDERFUL)on Skill #2 or Fighter #2: Spread the points out, putting 55 (COMPETENT) into Skill #1 and 56 (COMPETENT) into Skill #2 Here's the basic concept of this game you need to keep on mind: It is MUCH MUCH faster to go from 1 to 55 than it is to go from 56 to 110......Training slows down dramatically as your skill level goes up. There are no exact numbers, but I will use this picture as an example: http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2687/training1.gif So, let's take a look at Fighter #1 and how long it will take him to get both skills to wonderful: http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/162/training2o.gif Now, let's take a look at Fighter #2 and how long it will take him to get both skills to wonderful: http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/3466/training3.gif In conclusion, Fighter #1 was MUCH easier to get both skills to wonderful than Fighter #2. If you have a fighter and you are thinking about his long term success, it is better to get as many skills to 110 as you can. He may not be as well rounded in the beginning, but he will thank you in the long run

  12. I've noticed the older topic has been mostly collecting dust so I decided to create a new one and stole the template, I edited the format into ID's as flights are no longer a factor. Feel free to send me or post any updates or mistakes and I'll keep the first post updated. The fastest way to prompt an update would be to provide me with a url for the org with the request. Last Edit: 3 May 2021 340K Stoner Fight League (340k) 350K HARDCORE Fighting Championship (350k) World Combat Federation (350k) 355K Blood Brothers Fighting Championship (355k) Sucker Punch Pro Series (355k) GAMMA: Contenders (355k) 360K Collision Course Combat Club (360k) CALIFORNIA MMA (360k) King of Fighters: Iron Wolf (360k) Byzantium Fighting Alliance (360k) 365K BLAZE MMA (365k+) Odense MMA - Fight Or Die (365k)(Openweight) DK MMA Fight League (368k) Collision Course Combat Club (368k) Excellent Fighting Championship (369k) 370K GAMMA: Development League (370k) Madness MMA (370k) ENIGMA (370k) Big Wave MMA (370k) Brass Knuckles FC (370k) Specialty Org: HARDCORE Fighting Championship (375k) - 135lbs women's division Mike Approved. So lets say you're new and you don't know how this is organized yet. When you generate a fighter in MMATycoon they are given an ID that increases by 1 when a new fighter is created, so a 350k org will not sign a fighter who has a creation ID older than 350000. A 349999 ID fighter was created just before the fighter ID 350000 and so a 349999 fighter would be considered a 349K fighter and not allowed in a 350K org, that is where the org has drawn it's line in terms of recruitment, a lower ID means the fighter is older. in the case below I posted my retired fighter To Ken as an example. this ID is also used on his url. In the above example my fighter ID is 348111 and he would not be allowed to sign to a 350k org as he's too old.

  13. QUOTE (Eversor @ May 5 2010, 09:46 AM) You could choose either one for one of the four primaries: Boxing / Kick Boxing Muay Thai / Karate Wrestling / Judo BJJ / Sambo The primaries would affect secondaries something along these lines (both offensive and defensive): Boxing has better punches than Karate, but Karate affects kicks. Kick Boxing has better punches than Muay Thai, but Muay Thai has better clinchgame. Wrestling has better takedowns for shooting from afar, but Judo has better takedowns from the clinch. BJJ has better chokes, but Sambo has better leglocks. No gamebreaking changes, just a small coefficient to add a little more flavor. Existing fighters could have a one time opportunity to change their primaries to corresponding ones if they so wish for. Reviving a quote form an old thread and although not an immediate important must have improvement, I think this is actually a really, really, good & creative idea that would add a lot more depth, etc. Could use some revising of course, but the base idea is great. Instead of every fighter being boxer/muay thai/wrestler/bjj we could have something that makes them a lil different. The only challenge is finding the perfect style to pair up with it's counter part. I.E. to "argue with the quote" Boxing & Kickboxing could be paired up, but then what would you pair up with muay thai? And for Sambo, I'd say it gets a small boost to GNP & takedowns, and BJJ is submissions and defensive grappling. Maybe instead of "Karate" call it "Martial Arts" to give it a more broad horizon for the imagination of styles. Who knows. The only reason why I could see somebody suggesting against it is; everything fuctions as it is, it could be extremely complicated. Contrary to some belief, you really wouldn't have to add any additional flavor text. The most challenging thing in my mind about this would be tweaking the benefits you'd get for what primary, and programming that into the system, and also I don't know how secondaries and primaries mesh to create a "total" for the game's fight engine, all that is extremely complex to me. So if it required a major overhaul, obviously it really wouldn't be worth all the time but I firmly believe that the idea of seeing and being able to select one of two options, per primary, would be awesome. Not 100% sure if this was shot down or not, I seen a thread about "adding primary's" recently closed, but I'm not asking for a complete overhaul or anything like that, I would think it could be as simple as adding selective/optional text upon fighter creation? --- if that makes any sense. If it doesn't I could elaborate.

  14. Throughout history there have been many classic rivalries that have defined their eras. http://i43.tinypic.com/13z1ipx.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2192p3r.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/k354cn.jpg . . . These all pale in comparison to one of the biggest rivalries MMA Tycoon has ever known. http://i42.tinypic.com/25yyhbm.jpg These tired and ragged souls are once again destined to collide again. However, there can be only room for one man in the MMATycooniverse. One man left standing. One man called the king of his era. One man to fight again. The other....shall fall upon his sword and be carried away on his shield. Fidel Puno! Our time has come once again to meet! Bubba KillsInWater knows where you've been. He knows the struggles you've endured. The criticisms you've dealt with. He, himself, has heard them all too. Fidel Puno: Age 32. 34 wins, 7 losses. Bubba KillsInWater: Age 28. 30 wins, 8 losses. Between these two men, they have over 60 wins combined. Two #1 P4P kings. Two MMA Tycoon Hall of Famers. Two men who take on any and all comers. This is it though Puno. One man will put one final loss on his record and go out with a BANG Bubba is here by challenging you to a match that will ultimately be talked about in MMA Tycoon for as long as the game exists and no doubt be the Fight of 2012. Puno, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A RETIREMENT MATCH. I have already confirmed with Mike Tycoon. The winner of this match stays alive. The loser of this match will be released and forcefully retired. Silly I know. But what do you have to lose? You've accomplished all their is to accomplish in this world. Bubba has done the same. Why not go where no men have gone before and leave our mark on this B.G.-Earth? To sweeten the deal I hereby also propose: A $100k manager bet. To personally pay ANOTHER $3k to the bet pot, if I lose, for EVERY +1 vote to this topic. To take a 15 day forum ban Any other conditions you may see fit, we will negotiate to add. What do you say Puno? Feelin' Savage enough?

  15. Would be cool to have a belt cabinet. Like the size of the trophys and below that part showing which belts you've held showing the picture of the belt held. Some fighters have been multiple belt holders and I actually like some of the belt designs some orgs have. Its not important but a cool update. Has this been requested or suggested before?

  16. As in the title? I am presuming Monday's fine? There are loads of little things but the main ones are ref standups, overall fight scoring and leg kicks affecting speed and agility not stamina. There isn't a massive amount that you would be able to gameplan for until you have experienced how you think it all works, so not a massive amount of notice needed imho. details; changed scoring system including fight rating, (n.b. will likely see less 100% rated fights) improved transitions to focus more on the transitions variable itself improved flex vs agility for advance position; added agility plus split what you need based on top vs bottom so bottom needs flex but top doesn’t improve subs; so that bottom needs flex but top needs agility, whilst being the taller fighter makes subs from the bottom more likely but less likely from the top (minor difference). bug fix - commentary display for getting rocked sometimes bugged out at the start of rounds added more commentary to indicate sustained ground stalling by a fighter added fight graphics for reversals diminishing returns for scoring points on takedowns and subs. reduced energy loss for attempted escapes added clinch attempts to post fight stats fixed alignment of little arrow things on the fight imperial stats bars fixed - occasionally the fight engine would do a move you hadn't asked your fighter to do also debugged the crap out of it for about 5 days and found a few bug that would have affected the chance of certain standup things landing, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively depending on tactics. hopefully this will have been the cause of any "how the hell did that happen?" fights for you in the past, so it won't happen again. scrap NCs due to being in the wrong location. Instead you will be teleported to the right location and get a 10% hit to energy and morale but the fight will still take place. Added 16th sept; Additional tweak to standups from yesterday's changes. Altered the "ground moves per minute" calculation. The most important impact being that we won't have a massive drop in moves per min when people go high counter. I'll continue to work on this one as post of this requires me editing commentary lines individually.

  17. this was a message that i wrote with the intentions of sending to mike. but it got long, so it can be his option to read it or not hey mike, i think that you need to delete your account and start over with a brand new one, and make an honest effort to play competitively. i think what has happened is that you are still playing as an older player and it narrows your scope on things. it makes you naive to a newer players perspective. i feel i've got the right to say that because i was the same way. when i was an older manager i truly had no idea just how disheartening this game is for new players. honestly i didnt have a clue. but now that i've restarted my entire perspective has changed. i've spent six months playing as a new manager and i've went from having a deep passion for the quality of this game, to a strong dislike for how this game functions. i can set here and try to explain my perspective on things. but i think that you'll never truly have a feel for where im coming from until you experience it for yourself. in my opinion, new player enjoyment should be the #1 goal. simply because if there's no enjoyment factor for the new players then there's not gonna be any older players around to enjoy it. this game feeds off of young and old players equally. there value to the game is a stale mate. this game truly is a great experience as an older player. the game is incredidly rewarding as an established manager. most everyone will agree to that. but i can guarantee you that you'll have a much harder time finding younger managers that will agree to the same thing. it's just not the case. the goal should be to make the game enjoyable over the entire spectrum. instead of only after you've played the game for 2 years. ppl just wont wait that long. hell, i know first hand how enjoyable this game can be once you've put your time in. but even knowing that, im on the verge of bailing, simply because the wait isnt seeming to be worth it..... i've been playing with a stable of new fighters and training in public gyms for 6 months now and im absolutely disgusted with how my fighters have progressed. i know what the older managers fighters look like, and i know that my fighters arent close to that. but at the same time, i understand that your goal is to bring the overall total skill levels of the older fighter down a bit. i get that. but by slowing fighter growth isnt the key. all that you've done by nerfing fighters learning abilities is make a boring game for young and old. i know that you didnt directly nerf learning speed, but the changes that have been made have made that happen. an example of where the system fails: you can take a fight. lose. train for a month, and enter into your next fight and show little to no skill improvement from the fight before...that's a problem in my opinion. it takes away almost all optimism. there needs to be at least SOME signs of improvements from fighters in between fights. not only because it keeps managers logging in daily to see fighter progression. but also because it gives optimism that a loss early on, wont neccassarily mean a loss down the road. some managers just dont and will never be good with the sliders. they understand and admit to that. so in order to bridge the gap for those managers, skills is what does it. skills, whether you want to believe it or not, is what makes this game go. skills are what creates passion for ppl. skills are what creates the bond between fighter and manager. skills are what creates the butterflies for an upcoming fight. skills are what manufactures hope and the optimism that your luck is going to change. that goes for both young AND old. skills are what allows managers to put yestarday behind them and allows them to be excited about the oppurtunity of tomarrow. by trying to limit the skills or slowing the growth of a fighter, you're limiting how excited ppl can be about mmatycoon in general. it's honestly just the facts. everything in life is pshycological and has a pshycological effect. you need to always ensure that the things that you do creates a postitive pshycological emotion for ppl. that's the recipe for success with anything. whether it's getting somebody to buy your product, vote for you in an election, hang around you at a party, or simply say hello to you on the street. you've got to always ensure that the things that you do put other ppl into a happy/comforting state of mind. that's how you get ppl to want to follow you, or to just simply be around you. in this case, that's how you get ppl to want to play mmatycoon. allow them to enjoy themselves as much as possible on the thrills of the game - maximize the things that ppl love the most about the game. watching fighter growth is a key factor in this games success in my opinion... but im not sure what your overall goal is with the game? it may be different from what i believe it to be, or think it should be? but im certain that your goal isnt to have a stagnation effect from fighters. at least i hope it isnt. but that's kind of the feeling that i think has been created. you've always made really well thought out changes to the game in my opinion. much better than what i could have ever done. but at the current moment, there's nothing incredible going on in the game that just reaches out and grabs new players. the game i feel like is initially intriguing enough to get ppl to come back. but nothing that happens frequently enough to really take a hold of ppl and keep them on the edge of their seat. that's just my honest opinion. i have to go back to the mice in a maze theory. you dont have to give much, but you do have to give it just a little bit of cheese occasionally. or else it wont keep running the maze. same way with this game. i get it's a slow paced game. i've played for almost 3 years now. so i can handle the pace of a game of this type. but at some point, if there's continually less and less cheese at the end of the maze, then we'll have to go off in search of new cheese. and i dont mean that as a threat to say "hey, make the game the way i want". it's just me saying, "hey mike, i've played this game for a long time. i've grown to love it. but now can feel it slipping away" - i feel like i've got to make at least SOME effort to throw something out there that can make the game more enjoyable from my own perspective. from my perspective, i think that the game really shines at the upper levels, when you can compete with good skilled fighters in a battle of wits via sliders and skill sets. that's where this game excells. but the only players that are getting to take part in that greatness are the ones that have been apart of the game for a long time. so i want to make a push to you in hopes that you'll do something to allow us younger managers to take part in that fun maybe just a little bit quicker. i know what this game can offer in terms of enjoyment. but in my opinion, it's foolish to think ppl will play for years before getting to experience it in the end, i thought that the basis of the game was "styles make fights". the game flourished under that thought. i sure would love to see it get back down to that. i dont care if it's exceptional/sensationals vs remarkables/wonderfuls. that's okay by me. i'd be happy to be faced with that dissadvantage. but 6 months in and still working with proficient at best? and that's with major glaring holes....mike please take notice, and bridge the gap. it's my final plea

  19. By Chad Stevens, reporter at MMA-LA The difference between Mike Cozad’s life and my own is palpable. This was apparent to me the moment I reached his mansion. As I climbed out of my 1999 Pontiac Bonneville, it became clear to me that there are different levels of men. There are men like me, who, without attempting to be too brash, can earn a great deal of money for themselves and be an anchor, a provider for their families, and live a comfortable and fulfilling life. Then there are men for whom the starlight is innately attached to, men who are destined to live life in the fast lane, filled with big cars, easy women and other earthly riches. Mike Cozad is such a man. I knocked on the mansion’s doors, and a ginormous hunk of a man answered. It’s Mr. Cozad alright, all 6’5, 275 lbs (pure muscle) of him. He’s wearing a golden robe that, while it rests below his knees, is still very much revealing of his hiddens. “Are you UberEats? Here’s $1,000, does that cover it?” “”N-no sir. I’m uh, Chad Stevens, i’m here to interview you.” “Oh, sure. Come on in then. “ I sit down on a sofa, while Cozad sits on a - throne? - that he has in his living room. There’s some powder on the table. I doubt that a man of this stature even feels its effects. Cozad offers me some and assures me that it’s the real deal, but I decline knowing that the purity of this stuff would no doubt prove to be fatal to a man of my stature. I started with my questions. “So uh, how did you get the nickname ‘The Plumber?’” “When i’m not running my multi-million dollar gaming website, or my other multi-million dollar gambling website, I’m occasionally a plumber. I mostly do special requests and things that other plumbers won’t/can’t do.” “Out of curiosity, what’s the strangest request you’ve ever gotten?” “Some fuckin’ lunatic down in Florida wanted me to connect the plumbing from the master toilet to his guest shower. Kept ranting about being able to give all of his guests golden showers or something. Cool dude.” “Seems like a nice guy” I added. “How about this gaming website?” “Just this thing I had some nerd code for me about a decade ago. I don’t know how to code, but you don’t need to when you look like this.” Cozad flexes his muscles, damn near tearing through his robe. I can hear the swooning of every woman within a five mile radius. I almost pass out myself. “He must have done a good job on it or whatever, because I get paid millions daily.With the world being shutdown right now, hundreds of thousands of people have joined. I’m on there daily, looking for rule breakers. I rule that website with the might of Zeus.” He stops to rub some cream all over his biceps and chest. I can’t tell what it’s for as it is written in Russian, but I get the feeling that it is a major reason that he looks like he was sculpted by the Gods. “That’s fascinating. How about your other website?” “That one brings in even more money. It’s a site where those same nerds from the first site can bet on fights. Of course, it just got a whole lot easier for them to bet, now that I’m in the fighting game.” “That leads me into my next question: why join the fight game?” I ask. “Well, a lot of people on my little gaming website like to try and cheat, mostly creating multiple accounts. It makes me so mad, the only thing that gives me any sort of release is punching another man until he is unconscious, and then punching him some more. I won’t rest until every multi-fuck has been defeated!” “...Are there cases of you not stopping after the ref tells you to do so?” “A while ago, there was this guy who claimed to be a Muay Thai fighter and was juiced up on all sorts of steroids. Fucking cheater. It was clear to me that he didn’t actually have any muay thai skill, and was only beating people due to the steroids. The ref couldn’t pull me off of him in time, and I ended up killing the ThaiGuy.” He said. I gulped. I had a feeling that if he found out that I used to cheat on quizzes in kindergarten, i’d be leaving this mansion in a body bag. He seemed as unstable as he was tall, dark and handsome. “Oh. Uh, h-how did you get out of that murder charge?” “Let’s just say I have some connections through my gambling app. The fight took place in Japan, and I just so happen to know someone there who has some real… connections.” he said. “Are there any particular cases that brought you to this?” “No no, let's not get into specifics here.” “Moving on then. Why did you choose this mysterious man named Aydan The Wandering Spirit to be your manager?” “He’s actually a player of my gaming website, trying to make his break in the real world of mma. He’s not the best out there, but he says he loves my game and I don’t think he’ll hold me back too much.” “Fair enough,” I said. “I think that’s all I have for today Mr. Cozad.” “Please, it’s Mike.” He said. His words felt like a long hug from an absent parent. It was clear to me that under his psychotic, rage filled exterior was an even more charming and charismatic man. There was no telling what i’d do for him. I’d pay 40$ a year to play his game, that’s for sure. “Hey, it’s a warm summer night- Me and a bunch of guys know of a great spot out here. You interested in joining? Maybe it will help with that article of yours.” He said. and so ended the first, but certainly not the last interview i had with Mr. Cozad.

  20. If all VIP-managers would be allowed to have a gym besides another company, that would be great for the game: - More companies equals more rivalry and possibilities. - Less people with multi accounts ( as they are often created just to have a gym and another company). - Better training as all VIP's would be able to have their own gym and wouldn't have to overcrowd their buddies' gym. - ...

  22. Just to fill you guys in on that whole "Russian hack" thing from early November, where all fighters lost a load of cash.... We figured out what happened and on what page and have sorted that issue. We've also worked through all pages on the site over the last month, looking for similar problems, to hopefully ensure nothing like that happens again. That's all finished now so we can move onto doing proper game updates again in the new year. Happy holidays all!

  23. Working on the bracket for TUM thought this would be a nice addition to the game tott as well. Putting the rank at the time saves from trying to eyeball what it was by using the bar after the fight. Manager at the time is mostly for when guys pick up or drop fighters and you want to know who was at the controls of the fight. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4743/1iip.png

  24. BREAKING NEWS! MMA FIGHTERS LINKED TO TERROR CELL Hezbollah is a Shia Islamist political party and militant group based in Lebanon. Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council, and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese parliament. Since the death of Abbas al-Musawi in 1992, the group has been headed by Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary-General. The organization or its military wing are considered terrorist organizations in eighteen countries, as well as by the Arab League and the European Union. Hezbollah was founded in the early 1980s as part of an Iranian effort to aggregate a variety of militant Lebanese Shia groups into a unified organization. Hezbollah acts as a proxy for Iran in the ongoing Iran-Israel proxy conflict. Hezbollah was conceived by Muslim clerics and funded by Iran primarily to harass Israel. Its leaders were followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, and its forces were trained and organized by a contingent of 1,500 Revolutionary Guards that arrived from Iran with permission from the Syrian government, which was in occupation of Lebanon at the time. Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto listed its objectives as the expulsion of "the Americans, the French and their allies definitely from Lebanon, putting an end to any colonialist entity on our land", submission of the Christian Phalangists to "just power" and bringing them to justice "for the crimes they have perpetrated against Muslims and Christians" and permitting "all the sons of our people" to choose the form of government they want, while calling on them to "pick the option of Islamic government". Hezbollah waged a guerrilla campaign in South Lebanon, and as a result Israel withdrew from Lebanon on 24 May 2000, and the South Lebanon Army (SLA) collapsed and surrendered. Hezbollah organized volunteers who fought on the Bosnian side during the Bosnian War. Hezbollah's military strength has grown so significantly since 2006 that its paramilitary wing is considered more powerful than the Lebanese Army. Hezbollah has been described as a "state within a state" and has grown into an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite TV station, social services and large-scale military deployment of fighters beyond Lebanon's borders. Hezbollah is part of the March 8 Alliance within Lebanon, in opposition to the March 14 Alliance. Hezbollah maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shi'a population, while Sunnis have disagreed with the group's agenda. Hezbollah also finds support from within some Christian areas of Lebanon that are Hezbollah strongholds. Hezbollah receives military training, weapons, and financial support from Iran and political support from Syria. Hezbollah and Israel fought each other in the 2006 Lebanon War. After the 20062008 Lebanese protests and clashes, a national unity government was formed in 2008, with Hezbollah and its opposition allies' obtaining eleven of thirty cabinets seats, enough to give them veto power. In August 2008, Lebanon's new Cabinet unanimously approved a draft policy statement that recognized Hezbollah's existence as an armed organization and guarantees its right to "liberate or recover occupied lands" (such as the Shebaa Farms). Since 2012, Hezbollah has helped the Syrian government during the Syrian civil war in its fight against the Syrian opposition, which Hezbollah has described as a Zionist plot and a "Wahhabi-Zionist conspiracy" to destroy its alliance with Assad against Israel. It has deployed its militia in both Syria and Iraq to fight or train local forces to fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The group's legitimacy is considered to have been severely damaged due to the sectarian nature of the Syrian Civil War in which it has become embroiled. (Shout out Wikipedia) Kartila Madan is a non-denominational Lebanese paramilitary group affiliated with Hezbollah. The irregular militia is composed of fighters that are funded, trained, armed, and founded by Hezbollah with rumors tied to Western financing. The organization's manpower, composition, and strength are expected to be on the rise. It's unclear when the group was founded, but its focus has been on countering Sunni extremists like ISIL by engaging in open conflict and guerrilla warfare with their adversary. Kartila Madan fighters are less disciplined and subject to less strict rules than Hezbollah fighters. Consequently, their militants have been involved in a large number of violent confrontations with police, the Lebanese Army, and various Lebanese partisans. Lebanese interior minister Nohad Machnouk criticized the group for challenging the sovereignty of the Lebanese government. Critics contend that the group is no longer focused on fighting ISIL, but rather exists as political cover for Hezbollah's actions and as a containment group for thugs and troublemakers. Likewise, some Sunnis have charged the Kartila Madan with focusing more on countering Sunni fundamentalism than Israel. Kartila Madan have also been accused by the DEA and other drug agencies of trafficking drugs from South America through Africa into Europe and Southwest Asia, an accusation they adamantly deny. Kartila Madan كارتل مدان "The Pitbull" Mohammed Kahn Introduced to Chris Karter by his cousin, Muhammad Jabbar, due to his sheer brilliance in the octagon his MMA career has been well documented up to this point. Despite Kahn's known militant affiliation with the Kartila Madan - an organization labeled terrorist by the majority of the free world - he was able to enter the Madness TUF tournament. He was the inevitable winner of the show capturing the Madness Light Heavyweight championship, and would go on to become the star of the organization. An established and accomplished MMA fighter signed to the #1 organization in the world by the age of 22, unlike his cousin Jabbar who is relatively unknown on the MMA scene, Kahn's success in the MMA cage foreshadows his disturbing past as a self-proclaimed freedom fighter on the front lines of the Lebanon-Syrian conflict in the Middle East. "Muharib" Muhammad Jabbar Best known for holding a submission victory over Latrobe Arundel in their MMA debuts. Jabbar is a black belt in BJJ that has spent the entirety of his career fighting out of Convicted Fight Club in Los Angeles. Initially denied a visa due to an affiliation with a terrorist network back in his home country of Mauritania, it required Karter's direct intervention to pull strings with POTUS to get Jabbar into the United States. Unlike his younger cousin Mohammed Kahn, his career hasn't found the success that would bring his background to light. His position within the Kartila Madan oligarchy is unknown, but he's suspected to have enough influence to be flagged by the U.S. government, and placed on the terrorist watch list by the good ole boys in the red, white, and blue. "Real Rolex" Zaid Al Balushi Convicted Inc Manager Manuel "Salad" Tosen met Zaid at the Mutrah Souq in Muscat, where he was peddling fake watches to dumb dhimmis. Tosen was impressed by Zaid's ability to wrangle people into his shop and recruited him to his fight team. For the last six years he spent his time training at Tosen's Home for Lost Boys in Rio de Jeinero, one of the cocaine capitals of the world. Suspected to be Kartila Madan's connection to the South American drug trade, a joint-task of the Federal Police of Brazil and INTERPOL conducted a sting on one of Zaid's alleged drug operations, but recovered only bundles of counterfeit "Mentor Penis Cream" on the premises. Zaid was detained for six days and several human rights violations occurred before his release. Dhabu Vihdonic The Libyan Kickboxer is a Heavyweight knockout artist that enters the ring with a kill-or-be-killed mentality. He accumulated a 9-6 professional kickboxing record with 8 victories of his 9 victories coming by way of knockout. Recently an old picture started circulating the internet making its rounds across MMA news outlets showing an RPG-wielding Dhabu Vihdonic posing with Mohammed Kahn and other Kartila Madan militants on what appears to be the front lines of the Lebanon-Syria border. As fearless in the ring as he was on the battlefield, Dhabu has taken on every opponent no matter how much more experienced or skilled they may be. Mossad intelligence reports that Vihdonic is a contract killer, as well as an enforcer in the cartel's drug trade. The FBI can't confirm nor deny these reports. Bardia "The Fisherman" Farrokhzad Iranian fisherman turned Mixed Martial Artist. Local fishermen & dockworkers say they've witnessed him dive into the sea, catch a massive fish with his bare hands, & kill it underwater all in one breath. Career Highlights include World Combat Federation FW, ACE Fighting League FW & Saudi Arabia Fighting Org BW & FW Champion. Mossad intelligence reports that Bardia may be Mohammed Kahn's brother-in-law - other agencies are reporting that Kahn and Farrokhzad are Shia brothers having swapped wives - no claims have been verified. Authorities have been monitoring Bardia's water transit closely, attempting to link his fishing boats to the Kartila Madan's drug trafficking trade into Iran. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." It is expected that Convicted Fight Club's BJJ Coach Abraham Donowitz is responsible for training an entire generation of Kartila Madan militants in self-defense and hand-to-hand combat techniques. Why would Donowitz, an Israeli born MMA fighter nicknamed "Jewsus Christ", willingly train fighters affiliated with a faction of anti-Israeli extremist? This is what Abraham Donowitz had to say: "You just gotta open your heart man. To uh, defeat hate and stuff, you gotta like, kill it with kindness and shit. I'm just always over here like whoah, chill, we're all children of the Earth dude. In the gym it's all love, you know what I mean? Like, who am I? You know? Who am I man?"

  25. BREAKING NEWS! MMA FIGHTERS LINKED TO NARCO-TERRORIST NETWORK Red Devil Cartel красный дьявол картель Russian organized crime or the Russian mafia, otherwise known as Bratva ("brotherhood"), is a collective of various organized crime elements originating in the former Soviet Union. Organized crime in Russia began in the imperial period of the tsars, but it was not until the Soviet era that vory v zakone ("thieves-in-law") emerged as leaders of prison groups in forced labor camps, and their honor code became more defined. With the end of World War II, the death of Joseph Stalin, and the fall of the Soviet Union, more gangs emerged in a flourishing black market, exploiting the unstable governments of the former Republics, and at its highest point, even controlling as much as two-thirds of the Russian economy. Louis Freeh, former director of the FBI, said that the Russian mafia posed the greatest threat to U.S. national security in the mid-1990s. Although Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Estonia and Uzbekistan have long had criminals and bandits, during the disorder of the Russian Revolution of 1917, armed gangs proliferated until they became a very significant factor which controlled society. The criminal culture with its own slang, culture and laws became known as Vorovskoy Mir or "Criminal/Thieves World". As the police and court system were re-established in the Soviet Union shortly after the 1917 revolution, the NKVD secret police nearly exterminated the criminal underworld completely. Under Stalin, the forced labor camps (Gulag) overflowed with political prisoners and criminals, and a new organized group of top criminals arose, the vory v zakone, or "thieves in law." The "thieves in law" formed as a society for ruling the criminal underworld within the prison camps, "who govern the dark gaps in Soviet life beyond the reach of the KGB". They adopted a system of collective responsibility, and swore to a code described as a "complete submission to the laws of criminal life". In modern times, there are as many as 6,000 different groups, with more than 200 of them having a global reach. Criminals of these various groups are either former prison members, corrupt officials and business leaders, people with ethnic ties, or people from the same region with shared criminal experiences and leaders. In December 2009, Timur Lakhonin, the head of the Russian National Central Bureau of Interpol, stated "Certainly, there is crime involving our former compatriots abroad, but there is no data suggesting that an organized structure of criminal groups comprising former Russians exists abroad", while in August 2010, Alain Bauer, a French criminologist, said that it "is one of the best structured criminal organizations in Europe, with a quasi-military operation." The Red Devil Cartel, or the RDC, is an organized crime syndicate of narco-terrorist that started its operation in Eastern Europe and has since expanded to the largest of its kind in the region. The faction is widely believed to have originated out of Kazan in Russia, but Kremlin intelligence disputes such evidence, and suggests that the RDC was founded in Georgia, Kosovo, or Macedonia sometime in the early 2000's by the heads of several crime families that formed during their incarceration in Yugoslavia. As of 2020, the suspected head of the RDC in Europe and surrounding areas is only known as "Babushka" by intelligence agencies, and is rumored to be in refuge somewhere in Balkan territory. Their power structure is consistently under challenge from other organizations impeding on their trade or their pipelines, such as the SLA, ISIL, and other European crime families like the Chechen mafia. This usually results in a bloody turf war that resembles genocide more than your typical gang conflict. The RDC has been described as both ruthless and unforgiving. Its criminal activities vary from country to country, but often include arms trafficking, drug distribution, theft, extortion, smuggling, gambling, and prostitution. Slow to embrace new technologies, they have only recently begun exploring the possibilities of cyber-crimes such as hacking, electronic theft, and illegal tracking. The influence of the Red Devil Cartel is felt in over 50 countries across the globe; Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, England, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Macedonia, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, UAE, Uzbekistan, and in recent years has started to tap into the United States market through Canada and Mexico. NARCO-TERRORIST ACTIVITY http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15630040409216.png Igor Warlovski hails from Kara-Balta, a hot spot for Red Devil Cartel activity in Kyrgyzstan. His father Ivan was a Pakhan – also called Boss, or a Krestniy Otets ("Godfather") – and controlled the RDC cell that operated on the northern Kyrgyzstan-Kazakhstan border until his death several years ago. Paul Dengel's activity has been under constant 24/7 surveillance ever since a substantial financial transaction between Conviction and MKFC took place a couple months ago. When you follow the paper trail, you discover Dengel is frequently conducting business with shady figures of the European criminal underworld. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15667990118937.jpg Casper Timmermans has been involved in a decade long investigation by Belgium authorities in connection to drug trafficking in the country's capital of Brussels. Interpol has linked Casper to the Red Devil Cartel through his affiliation with his old manager Klatz Matz, a former Convicted Inc representative that has been missing since 2019. Garegin Balayan's connection to Convicted Inc manager Klatz Matz exposed the RDC's connections to the radical Hezbollah cell in Azerbaijan. Zheko Mladenov of Bulgaria is accused of funneling RDC assets through the local restaurant he owns in Sofia. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15775200325793.jpg Juodasis Vaiduoklis is a suspected hashish smuggler in Lithuania that's been under surveillance for several years. http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15769763091925.jpg Baruto Tonissaar is an Estonian suspect linked to several bombings in the Middle East. Ties to Esiah Xavier lead back to Convicted Inc, Igor Warlovski, and the Red Devil Cartel. Joost Van Buren is the Co-Owner of a brothel in the Rotterdam district with suspected ties to a Red Devil Cartel sex-trafficking trade.

  26. My God Bjorn, you raging negative bellend, will you just leave already. The first update they voted on was KT, which is nearly all done. The second one was adding p4p and weight ranks to the TOTT which is done. The third one is a belt cabinet which is being worked on now. At the same time as that we've automated real life events for bookmakers and have added staff to Buzz, which I'm going to post about today. This IS being listed on the spoiler page. You're just too daft to scroll down to the updates section.

  28. Maybe I am a little emotional today with it being Easter. But I learned the hard way a few months ago that no ones time here on earth is promised. I want to share this with all of you so you don't make the same mistake. I started out the new year on top of the world, I got a new promotion at work that puts me one step closer to being the plant manager. My oldest son has been accepted to a few colleges and we were all planning our future, with it looking very good. My daughter is #3 in her freshman class, and youngest who has Down Syndrome had finally made it through a December without being in the hospital. Toward the end of January my back started hurting. I ended up going to urgent care and they told me I had sciatica they gave me some pain meds and muscle relaxers and sent me home. I ended up making a couple more trips to the ER and my doctor over the next 2 weeks and I just kept getting worse. Finally it got so bad I needed a walker to get around. One morning I could not get out of bed or move my left leg. My wife took me to the ER again and when I got there my blood pressure was 59/40. They did an MRI on me and finally figured out I have a MRSA infection and they ignored it for so long that it spread through my whole body. I had a 10 inch pocket in my back, in both hips, down both legs to my feet, my left lung and in my heart. They told my wife to call in all the family because I was going to die. After a few surgeries and 17 days in the hospital I was able to come home. I am still on IV meds and have a wound pump hooked up to my back and hip but I am alive. I go to the doctors at least twice a week and have home health care coming in twice a week. I am working light duty again and everything seams to be getting better. Then last week I go to the heart doctor to check the infection I had in it. He did an ECO on my heart and the MRSA has destroyed my aortic valve. So now sometime in the coming weeks I will have to have open heart surgery. The valve is falling apart, a piece broke off and ended up in my spleen and spread the infection to it. He said to watch for signs of a stroke because if more breaks off it could cause that. I post this not so anyone will feel sorry for me, or for attention. I post this so you all will not take the ones you love for granted. We are only here for a short time and we do not know when our number will be drawn and we will be called home. I am a better man after going through this, I tell people that I love them and do my best to show them. So today take the time to do it yourself. You never know when you are going to run out of time to say it. Happy Easter everyone and God bless you and your family.

  29. http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65213&p=913062 Rap Battle Link ^^^ Camp Camara claims that Camp Karter owes his investors money. What do you think? http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64836&p=904207 ^^ after reading this post, I was under the impression it was a $5 million bet (each, total 10 mil). He said, "bet locked in as quoted" and quoted me proposing a $5 million bet. So naturally, am I wrong to assume that we were betting $5 million? http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64836&p=907790 I'm not gonna claim that he intentionally tried to pull a fast one, it wouldn't surprise anybody, but I think it might be a case of miscommunication - miscommunication that he's at fault for. If this were a basketball game, Camara is calling foul, I'm adamantly denying a foul has been committed, one of us has to shoot for the ball. We can fight, and you can get spanked, or we can settle this with a classic tycoon rap battle. If Camara wins, he gets the 5 mil. In response to this claim: Convicted, as a party, accepts his terms. Camara picks 8 of his fighters and the ID, and we'll offer our fighters that meet those ID restrictions. We will then bask you in golden excellence like you're one of R Kelly's groupies. We don't need to take your money, we'll gladly steal your hype for free, but if you want to run to your daddy and ask for money so you can play with the big boys again, that's fine with us.

  30. I received some really bad news a few days ago in real life and I'm not going to have the time or energy anymore to play the game that I like so much. I'll keep my account most likely, not ask to delete it completely, but will be releasing most of my guys and won't sign any new deals or anything anymore. Maybe one day I'll return at full force, but not anytime soon sadly enough. Hate me or love me, but I think it's clear that I really enjoy this game. That became totally irrelavant though when bad news just crashed my world upside down. Bye and thank you for the good times on here. Stay safe and healthy.

  31. I wanted to get peoples opinion on it first before taking it to Mike and asking him. Last night i won a free agent credit from the spin and win, which is pretty useless for me since I can take whoever i want at the moment being #1. It got me thinking back to my first year in the game and how I yearned to be high enough to nab one of the top free agents in the game and have a shot at fighting in the big leagues. So what I want to do is give my free agent credit to Mike who can do a raffle, treasure hunt or whatever best pleases him and give it away to a newer player (between 3-6 months of playing time) and give them it. Would anyone have any problems with such a thing happening (as i know some people also go for free agents and might be a bit peeved at the guy they want being snatched away from them). If Mike also reads this, do you have any interest in doing something like this? If it makes it any easier, i'll donate 3 months vip and 500k to open a private gym (or do with as they please) also if they win so they get the full benefits of playing the game and perhaps bring in another paying customer.

  32. I've just finished programming the new manager rankings system so I'll run through the changes for you here. Previously it looked at your fighter's hype increase or decrease in that fight and gave you an increase / decrease based on that. Now it's much more complicated. We store information from your last 20 fights and weight them in importance with the most recent being more important. Info stored; WLD including whether it was a finish or a decision and whether it was a title fight. The level of "importance" of the fight, based on your opposing manager's hype and the two fighters' hype. The skill comparision between the two fighters. So the increase / decrease in hype from a fight will depend on those 60 variables rather than just the fight you have just taken part in. ---- Increases and decreases now will tend to be smaller. Putting on a run of important fights will be rewarded and vice versa. Note: we still have no change for draws but the importance / skill comparison etc is still stored for draws so they do have an indirect effect on things. ---- The changes are ready to go now but I never implement anything on the weekend because if anything unforseen happens it means a massive amount of manual changes and I've done that too many times

  33. http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/94/pkve.jpg PRESENTS: Background Story of the Gangs (of GoNY) New York City, ‘The Big Apple’, ‘The Big city’, ‘The capital of the World’… There are many names for this large congested plot of land located on the East side of USA. A place widely regarded as the city where dreams are made and nightmares forgotten. Well let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that vision is far from the truth. Six rivalry gangs have been formed, each seeking total power of this concrete jungle and by no means are they planning on doing so with civilized discussion. Each gang is as guilty as the next when it comes to crooked behavior. There will be blood, there will be tears, there will be victories and there will be defeats but in the end… there will only be one gang left occupying the harsh streets of New York City… http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/802/6gs1.jpg Blood & Gutz Since B&G formed they have been described by many as the most feared of the six gangs, the black crest is to portray their ability to strike in the dark, they are the reason there is a curfew when the sun sets. It has been told that in order to enter this gang, one must take the life of an innocent to enter. They don’t fuck around and intimidation is their best weapon. This gang was started by a well-known and dangerous immigrant from Scandinavian origin, Mr. Gutz he was known as. He came to New York with fellow gang member Frank Abbott on the first ship out of that Scandinavian shit hole that they could get in search for a better, more rewarding life. Frank, like Gutz is a dangerous man with a lot of ammo in his arsenal. One of the first New York locals they met was a man who already had a big name for himself in the Big City, Johnny Lee Paris his name was. A big time bank robber and one of the most talked about names in NY, who knew the ins and outs of the city. JLP, as he is commonly known as was the first of Gutz’s recruits to the gang. After a short time a small time pick pocketer by the name of Bragi Ragnarson was picked up by B&G in down town Manhattan. This kid was a master in the art of theft, his most common tactic was to scout the streets at night disguised as a rent boy and would look for the richest guy to steal off once they fell into his falsely advertised expertise he would murder the target and take all his belongings. A dirty cbomb he was, but what do you expect he has Polish blood in him. And then there was Scooby Jr, a new kid on the block looking to prove to his elders that he was worthy of their time. The rest of the gang had little faith in him but gave him a chance to see what he was made of… http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/202/70u2.jpg The Council The Council, a group of ruthless savages led by Don Rage. They tend to wear red at all times with the intention to show people that they are out for blood. Don Rage is a man of entertainment and cunning ideas, it is said that his only fear is spiders. He has been of much benefit to his people, offering a lot to the community with these ideas, he has given the people entertainment by putting on events such as boxing tournaments amongst others. But, he never got anything back from the community and so he started ‘The Council’, he desired that respect and fame but couldn’t quite make it through the entertainment business so instead he turned to the Gangster business. His right hand man Ruphus Duphus joined him in his journey to run this city, I guess you could say Ruphus was the muscle of the gang; there were very few who wanted to stand up to this man. Rumors have it that he is 6’"7 and looks like he has been hit in the face with a shovel, only making him scarier than any other man in NYC. Klatz Matz, was later on picked up by Don Rage. Even though Rage is a patriotic man and wanted the best for his fellow countrymen, he decided to take on board a Russian import. This was a smart move as Matz had a lot of Eastern European connections throughout the city and could be a threat to rival eastern European origin gangs. Bobby Fossil, a big name in the boxing industry having won the Golden gloves tournament as a rookie was picked up by Don Rage to manipulate the New York city government in a way that would favor the council, all he had to do was clench his fists. Lastly, Ali Gator joined the gang. A slightly washed up gangster ready to re-live his past and prove to the big apple that he is still a force to be reckoned with. http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/802/0pai.jpg Five Pointers The Five Pointers are a lethal gang under command of Don Putin, the blue represents the finish flag and the cold heart of Putin. The large majority of his gang was made up of yet more Scandinavians like himself and are probably the least popular gang in the city, having a name like Five pointers doesn’t help as it implies that they rule the five points of Manhattan were most of the gang warfare and crime takes place. This gang in particular has a very large success rate in their organized crimes and is by no means to be overlooked by any of their rivalries. Don Putin is a controversial and unpredictable man, he could snap like a poisonous snake at any second, fellow gang member Castor Rollins knows only too much about that, this could come down to the fact that Castor is a bit of an outcast in the group as he comes from Sweden and is commonly known as the city scumbag. Castor was the last member to join the Five Pointers and due to his relationship and past with Putin, this was regarded as a very strange decision. They have been spotted falling out a lot and the rivalry gangs don’t see Castor’s as a big threat as rumors have it that Putin has put a hit on his head, time will tell if these rumors are true or false but for now the new blood remains a big threat to any opposition. Sami Assasi is another big name to come out of the gang and second in charge to Don Putin. He has earned his respect in NYC through grueling, tough battles. He is an honest man but don’t let that statement make you think he is a good man, because he will honestly beat the shit out of you if you for no reason. Ville Coleman, whenever I hear that name my spine shivers. But strangely enough there are quite a lot of people who don’t get the same feeling as I do, he is a silent assassin and that’s probably why he has gone by without as much fame as he deserves for his dirty work. He is one to watch out for and will play a big part in the taking of New York, I feel. Onto, the infamous Cus Damato, the only one of the 5 who is not from the grim lands of Scandinavia. This man comes across as a laid back, cheerful kinda guy… until he disagrees with you or you show him no respect that is. As soon as a fella does that they won’t forget him. He is the main distributor of marijuana in the city and has earned his street credibility. http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/837/anm6.jpg The Outfit The name the Outfit was given to this gang because they always dressed well and were noticeably more handsome than the average New Yorker. They are notorious for getting the ladies and this is the reason they are in charge of brothels and strip clubs throughout the city. Many of the less intelligent and elegant gang members visit their brothels and are murdered by the help of their loyal ladies of the night all under the master plan of Don Gonzaitev. Gonzaitev has been in ‘the game’ for a long time now and knows the tricks of the trade. He is one of the first Russian’s in NYC and is a well-respected name in the community he also has a lot of faith in the success of his gang. He is certainly one to be feared and is in the prime of his life right now. Another Finn walks the streets of New York, but not to support his country-men in gangs such as the Five Pointers, no, Agent Dee is probably the Outfits deadliest weapon. He is too smart to be caught out by anyone doing his dirty work, he will give respect where its due even to his enemies but he has a great sense of who is not to be trusted and who is a shmuk, for these people who fit into the latter category, he will take joy in destroying mentally and physically till they can take no more, watch out Castor. Purpose is another well groomed member of the gang. He appears as though he wouldn’t harm a fly and is a peoples man, always looking to improve his surroundings. This much is true but if you push him enough his alter ego will pounce out of him, chew you up and spit you back out to make you feel like the worthless little whore that you are. He has been in the NY scene for a while and can be of great benefit to the Outfit. Next up is the one and only, Rory Daly! They say he has a voice like Frank Sinatra and a cock like a horse. This guy was the reason for the start of the gang rivalries and bloodshed. It is said that he slept with all the other Don’s wives and girlfriends, but he claims it was more like those very women practically raped him because he is just that damn handsome. Again these could be Rumors but it’s likely that they are true, I mean look at the guy! Anyway, Daly has diverted his attention to crushing anyone in his path and judging by his recent activities throughout the city he has been doing exactly that. Not afraid of his voice being heard and talking down his enemies till they are left in tears, Daly will be a big role in the taking of the city. Lastly we have Bradley Miller, a man who has been around for a long time but has little to show on his portfolio as of yet.. he is looking for his big break in his rise to power. A man you will soon know too well in battle, he is hungry for success. http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/842/0qm4.jpg Canuck’s Capos Don Canuck has never been so deadly as he is now, he has been killin anything and everything that even so much as looks at him. Canuck’s Capos are the most loyal of gangs to each other as they have history before they were even a gang; they go way back. They don’t appear to be the most intimidating gang out there but talk of the town is that they are the most organized gang out there, rivalry gang member Rory Daly used to be close with the Capos and has revealed that they have underground going-ons but no one knows exactly what is going on, not even Daly. Whatever it is their doing its getting them some solid income, richest of them all Peel Steel, Canuck’s right hand man, is suspected to have been the man to start this underground system and will be supplying combat facilities and weaponry training to his fellow gang members. Steel is a successful business man, so successful people thought he was Jewish, but he has denied such claims. Steel is one of the biggest names to come out of New York City running one of the biggest organizations in NYC and has the kinda money to get the best muscle out there. Rodrigo Oliveira, coming from South America brings with him Brazilian combat expertise and a shit load of cocaine. He is more out there with his cocaine distribution than other small time dealers in town due to the amount of wealth the Capos make so he pays off the authorities and gives em a little baggy on the side. Oliveira isn’t widely seen as an exceptionally dangerous man but lets see what the future holds for him. The fourth member of the Capos is Charles Lee Ray, a fresh faced, new face to the gangster world has already proved he is not to be fucked with. He has shot up the ranks of his gang quicker than a Viagra filled penis. It is rare to see such a quick learner and contributor to the gang! Will it be short lived I wonder… Last but not least Butch Harris, the kinda man who won’t take shit form anyone, he’ll only dish it out. An active man around town, always looking for a scrap with every man and his dog. There are few guys in NYC who will be more determined for success than Butch. http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/809/gnhc.jpg The Dead Pidasols The Dead Pidasols are very much alive and at large in NYC, you won’t go through a day without noticing their presence in the streets of New York. An outspoken bunch who don’t even need to use their fists to make a grown man cry. Don Pidasol is the ruthless type; the people can hate him or love him all they want but at the end of the day he won’t give a rats cbomb. Pidasol has been a big name in the gang scene for a long time now and maintained a powerful image. One of the deadliest guys in New York without a doubt, every other Don wants this fella’s head served to them on a silver platter but that’s easier said than done. Then we have one of Pidasol’s long term pals KRad, a charismatic specimen and perhaps the brains of the gang. He appears to be a gentle, comedic, intellect but there is more to him than what meets the eye. He is the kinda guy that would tear your balls off and make you eat them for his own viewing pleasure…. A dangerous type who likes to have fun whilst carrying out his dirty work, ah yep, sick is the word I am looking for! Pidasol’s next pick up was Jax Rostenkowski, an extremely wealthy man which may well have been the reason to most of his success, still has a lot to prove despite his brutal brawling ability. He is known for finishing off other peoples fights out of nowhere and being a bit of a control freak. He will be a good asset to the Dead Pidasol’s as long as he doesn’t try and change the name to ‘The Dead Rostenkowski’s’.. Doubt it though that just sounds retarded. Moving on, some other guy with a ridiculous name was in the gang, he was known as Ari because most people couldn’t pronounce his full name. The silent but violent type, no one really knows him too well, he tends to let his fists do the talking and he does so pretty well. He gets the job done, enough said. Last of the Pidasols is Jack Frost, a bit of a loud mouth up and comer in this city, well at least he backs up his words, the guy has been terrorizing New York recently. An ambitious kid who wants his name out there for everyone to fear. Perhaps a time bomb waiting to blow up at the right moment. Only one gang will be left standing at the end of the bloodshed and this is only the beginning….. Whoever wins……. The Freedom of New York loses….. Notorious Fights: NY presents to you... Gangs… Of… New… York!

  34. Just throwing out a general idea. Instead of the slots just being for fighters, how about changing it to fighters and staff. Staff would be stuff like; - Retired fighter (can become a coach and run seminars). - Personal Assistant (would be able to help you with stuff like setting a supplement schedule, pointing out when fighters are running out of money etc. The more you paid them, the more they could look out for). - Cornerman (something people asked about all the time in the earlier days - perhaps these could all be retired fighters too). - Other stuff if people could think of anything. Now that fighters take a bit more looking after this would help take up extra slots that people aren't in need of so much anymore, plus if we keep the retired fighters on, I would be OK with upping the number of slots that you can buy to 20, which is something else that people have asked about for quite a while. I do need the site to bring in some more money but I wanted there to be a functional point in opening up more slots. Thoughts?

  36. This really pisses me off. Just because both accounts are VIP nothing will ever be done? These 'brothers' never seem to be online at the same time, logging on minutes after the other account has logged off. You really only have one computer? No one has a phone or laptop or ipad or anything like that? Check the login times... http://i67.tinypic.com/2hx6iqt.png http://i67.tinypic.com/20f81no.png Did Blake help set up his 'brothers' account? Look at the similarities in username. Capitalisation of the first and last name with no space in between. Also of interest is the file names of their avatars:- Blake - 1508601820BlakePhoenixAvatar02 Jackson - 1461025795MessedUpEye01 Notice the similarities there too? My avatar filename for context is just the name of the file I downloaded - 1533691094see-the-light And the one Karter made for Alex because of a bet they had - 1515204506karterprofile In a time when it is widely thought to be easier to climb the rankings Blake doesn't seem able to reach the highs he attained while can crushing in KOFC (his 'brothers' org). This is the fight record of Russian Obama when managed by Blake. Go through and check the quality of opponent, and more importantly the manger of opponent at the time of the fight while in KOFC (I'll give you a little hint, of the 10 people he fought in KOFC 5 were managed by Jackson and 2 were managed by Blake himself). Must note Obama went 6-3 in SYN before Blake took him to KOFC. http://i63.tinypic.com/1pjmyo.png I know I'm not the first to post this and I probably wont be the last (as nothing will be done) but fuck these (read this) cbombs. Fix your game Mike. Maybe start by ridding it of these fucking cheats. PS: I know you'll see this Blake so I'll preempt your downvote with an 'I see you ' and a 'go fuck yourself'

  38. Short post because I haven't though about this in great depth. Right now the most effective way to train up a young fighter is to stick him in the gym for several in game years with a couple of hidden testing fights, in reality this is extremely unusual -- the act of competition helps a fighter gauge their skills and improve, but in MMA tycoon it's rare to see any significant number of fights on young fighters because it's also their prime learning time. Perhaps grant some kind of learning bonus to fighters who have fought more recently, and perhaps some kind of negative to slow down those who haven't -- maybe making it harder to reach certain skill levels without fights, or just slowing learning down a bit entirely. It would help the game on a few levels -- for one it would let new players have some kind of chance at lower hype levels instead of constantly running into project beasts, and for another it would get rid of the ridiculous sitting around until the fighter is quad sensational before having him fight.

  39. Tycoon Calendar. Everything in your local time. A whole page where a month can viewed. Current month shows as default but you can flick forward or backward. A bit like the private flight booking calendar, but larger so that entries can be read. Suggestions.... Non-VIP: 1. Your own fights show automatically - In your own local time. Marked as offered, accepted or confirmed. 2. Gym fee deadline displayed. 3. VIP trial expiry displayed. 4. Fighter birthdays shown. 5. Booked flights shown. 6. Official Tycoon messages about news, events and changes. VIP: 1. All of the Non-VIP features above. 2. Your business deadlines. Event times etc for orgs (I know less about other businesses but, for example, a clothing company will get stock arrival times, end of month deadline, and whatever else those guys need to know). 3. Arrival and departure times for jet owners. Also jet fee deadlines. 4. Recovery time for injured/cut fighters displayed. 5. Fighter contract expiry dates shown. 6. Loan repayments. 7. Shows when you can release a fighter with no VIP penalty. 8. "Company Closing" when relevant to you. 9. Free Agent distribution deadline when you have one selected. 10. Facility for short custom notes/reminders for managers. (Would be fantastic if you could even send a reminder to another player's calender!) I think something like this (the main point being local time) could possibly improve the game. 1. Make my Tycooning much easier I'm sick of working out the time in Hilo or Tokyo 2. Cut down on NCs (or rather, auto-flights now). 3. Aid finance upkeep and affairs like moving gym on Thursday without paying twice. 4. Help get more people involved in events (Island, TWGC, etc). 5. Create a "historical record" that can be viewed later (If data storage allows). Might be fun to see what you were doing a year ago. 6. Remove some of the time complications which must cause some noobs to make mistakes and get frustrated. As well as giving a sense of "something happening" that might make them more likely to log in a week later and keep doing so. 7. Get the info that is in the "Game Timings" wiki page to a place where noobs will see it without them feeling that they need to "study" the game. 9. Another reason for noobs to buy VIP for the upgrade. Possibly even extra VIP charge for some of these (custom notes, historical record, for example) or other services I didn't think of. 10. Allow official Tycoon messages a place to be seen at the right time to get people active or aware of what's happening.

  40. This post is to make it extremely clear what is acceptable if you want to play with friends or family on the same IP. It is allowed, but; 1. Do not send each other money. Keep totally financially separate. (Reason; obvious.... No financial help). 2. Do not join each other's gyms (Reason; fighters being used as spar-bots). 3. Or orgs. (Reason; potential record padding or favourable matchmaking). 4. Do not fight each other, except on rare occasions. (Reason; potential record padding). It's pretty simple really... Just keep totally separate.

  41. I think instead of managers straight up declining, i think the should have the ability to send a counter offer of what they would need to sign. from there the owner chooses to accept his counter offer, send another counter offer, or decline his counter offer and end negotiations. just a thought. EDIT: for those who where thinking that people would just send counter offers to send them, this is a good idea. another one is a final offer button for when your in negotiation and want to wrap it up.

  42. I have been playing this game for ten years now and certain aspects of it are quite addicting for me(why can't I quit you). I got problems with a certain individual who is for what it's worth the center of most drama (all be it, internet drama lol). We have had a rough past my grudge issues tend to confuse me. So from this point I'm gonna do my best to ignore said person and sweep this grudge out the door. I know most of the community here would agree with me for that at least. Thank you

  43. Ok, in recent weeks I think I've seen these same questions asked about 20 times, so maybe there should be a sticky or something about this? What is learning speed? In broad sense the learning speed refers to fighters ability to response to training, and it is based on the value of the hidden skill, fighters age, energy and morale levels, quality of the coach or sparring partners, class sizes and the current skill level. But the main interest is usually in the value of hidden skill, which is a constant value and determines whether the fighter is capable of learning things fast, given that his training is planned properly. By ticking "fast learner" in fighter creation you get boost for this skill, but other than that, you cannot influence fighters learning speed hidden. In short, usually when talking about learning speed we are talking only about the hidden skill related to the learning speed. What learning speed is not? Learning speed and fighters intelligence are two completely different things. Intelligence (related to "knows how to adapt his game plan") can be tested with IQ tests (can be won on Spin and Win and sometimes you get random test via mail or when travelling with jet), and refers to "fight IQ", i.e. how well the figher responds to things happening during fight. In short, learning speed has nothing to do with IQ or intelligence. How to test fighters learning speed? You need to have a VIP status in order to test the learning speed accurately. Check below for non-VIP possibility. Install Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox (there are similar add-ons for other browsers but there are reports that they might not work properly for everyone): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ Install TycoonTools Greasemonkey scripts (Only Skill Snapshot Stat Extractor is needed for this, but other might come handy also): http://widing.arkku.net/tycoontools/ Your fighter needs to have some secondary skill where you didn't assign any points in fighter creation and which you have not trained at all (remember that for example training clinchwork will give small gains to elbows also etc). Assign your fighter to train that skill in 1on1 training session with Elite coach. Make sure your fighter have 100% energy and morale. After training, go to Fighter skills snapshot page (http://www.mmatycoon.com/mystatssnapshot.php), select the skill in question and if you have appropriate Greasemonkey scripts installed and enabled, you should see a numeric value under the skill snapshot bar. This value is the current skill level of your fighter in that skill. Skills where you did not assign any points at fighter creation start at 1.95. It is believed that the maximum skill value you can have after one training session is 7.5 (useless++). Lowest value I have encountered is 3.9, but my guesstimate would be 3.5 for lower limit. Depending on your preferences, you could think that fighters with learning speed under 5 (useless-) are not good enough (some people use 4.5 and other 5.5 etc), unless other hiddens of that fighter are very good. Unless the learning speed is very low, like under 4, I would still test the fighting abilities of everybody (i.e. see how they perform in few QFC's and what does their ToTT say) before sacking them. Note that above values are for 18 year old (or younger), for older fighters you should expect smaller values, although I do not have experience to tell how much is good enough for example 25 year olds. And also, if you have only 2on1 training available, that shouldn't make huge difference, so you still get good approximation of the learning speed that way. And if you have already trained the skill little (say the skill value is 2.5), you can still compute the difference (new value - old value) and see how much that is compared to maximum gain of 5.55, but note that with high level skills the learning speed decreases. Other issues: For non-VIPs there is an approximate method for determining the learning speed: The pop from useless to abysmal in two sessions, is combined gain of 8.05 points, ie. over 4 points on one session. That would equal learning speed at least 1.95->6, which is rather good. If the fighter doesn't pop even in three sessions, he is a very slow learner. Between that, depends how tight criterias you have. Learning speed is constant from until fighter hits the age of 18, and after that it declines gradually when your fighters age. For 25 year olds (or 19-24 for that matter) there's not public information available about range of learning speed. I've heard somebody had learning speed of 7 as 25 year old but I doubt it. If anybody makes 25 year olds and wants to share what kind of learning speeds they have gotten, please let me know and I'll add the range here. I'll add other info if something comes up.

  44. Once upon a time in a land called MMATycoonia, the admin god Michelangelo decided to take a well deserved break after having fought off the Aaron wolves of darkness who roamed his land with powers they stole from the MMATycoonia deity himself. Relieved he may have been trouble was still brewing in the world that he created … yearly aWARds 2016 a clusterfuck parody by the mentally unstable mind of Alika Webb Tribes were competing and at the end of the year 2015, I mean 2016 (change the name on the forum already!), they decided to award prizes to those who achieved greatness in that year. Thus the yearly awards were created and members of those tribes got the chance to cast their vote. But some tribes were concerned that they would get dominated in the votes by one of the biggest tribes of them all and so they united against a common enemy and conspired a plot. None wanted to be the bearer of the news so they brought forth an army and went together to the mountain of doom as brothers in arms to bring the news to lord Mentor, the leader of the tribe known as the Legion Of Doom. In the Gamma fortress, Lord Mentor was having a heated discussion with his most respected warrior, the legendary Urukwhymer. “No Urukwhymer, no means no!” Lord Mentor bellowed. “Uruk…why…me…r?” asked the beast. “Well you should have thought of that sooner, my decision is final!” Mentor concluded. “Excuse me, if I may lord Mentor?” asked the little man shrouded by darkness standing in the corner. “No Alikaman the word magician, I will not excuse you. You abused my kindness just the same when you started writing that damn magic book of yours!” A horn sounded from afar warning the legion of imminent danger, lord Mentor looked outside and saw an army lurking on the horizon, waving a white flag and so Mentor summoned his forces to meet the visiting army on the deserted mud fields outside the walls of Doom that have protected the Legion for so long. Both armies approached each other in formation and stopped advancing when they were just a football fields length apart from each other. “Well?” Lord Mentor asked, “To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?” None spoke and the situation got tense. “Who is your leader?” Mentor demanded. Everyone in the opposing armies forces took a big step back, except the poor yellow dwarf named GBKimly. “When we announced the yearly awards, we might have forgotten to mention that if more than five people from one tribe vote for a fellow tribe member than only the first five votes will count.” the dwarf said so silently it was barely audible for lord Mentor. “What??!!” lord Mentor yelled in fury. Inspired by his newfound confidence the dwarf shouted that in the name of the admin god Michelangelo this rule would be enforced by every other tribe and that the Legion must adhere to the same rules. “This is an outrage! The average tribe only has five or six members, they are allowed to vote for themselves and because you have this new rule in place the tribes with more than five members cannot vote for themselves or their tribe mates. That is basically as rigged as it can get as you are punishing us for having the numbers advantage!” Lord Mentor tried to reason. You could cut the tension with a knife and just as GBKimly started to open his mouth to reply, a little hobbit carrying a big ass Kalashnikov emerged from the allied troops and shouted “they screwed me over using duplication magic, kill them all!’ before shooting into the sky to blast some fire into the hearts of his fellow warriors. The allied army responded and ran forward, unfortunately his little hobbit legs were too short to stay ahead of them and so he was run over by his overly enthusiastic allies, planting him face first into the slimy mud. Just as the armies were about to collide, lord Mentor said “say hello to my little friend!” as he reached inside his coat and threw a fist-sized ball in front of the rampaging army that was running towards the legion. The allied forces stopped their advance and looked down at the uncurling ball lord Mentor had just thrown. “Oh, what a cute little alien.” one of the soldiers said. But then the alien turned to face them, revealing foam dripping from its mouth and a crazed look in its eyes that terrified even the bravest warriors. “Rabid, use your fury attack!” Mentor shouted. Rabid used fury attack! It was super effective! “Haha, what YOU gonna do when RABIDMANIA runs wild on YOU!” the alien said with confidence. “Conor, use your horn drill!” GBKimly shouted, a fabulous white unicorn with a purple mane jumped over the yellow dwarf and launched itself toward the alien. Conor used horn drill! It was not very effective … The blow knocked the rabid alien back toward his peeps. It was a standoff but not for long as GBKimly said “summon him” to his trusted advisor Mannetosemir. Despite having doubts Mannetosemir did as he was told and went to summon the Belgian beast from the seventh circle of hell. A significant patch of mud disappeared and revealed a stone staircase leading down below. To everyone’s surprise singing could be heard from the freshly made pit. The sounds became clearer by the second and before long a merry group of demons emerged wearing paper hats, doing a little dance and singing to the tunes of “for he’s a jolly good demon” blissfully unaware of the war they were walking into. The singing stopped as a Spartan dressed demon became aware of his new environment. “What is going on here?” the Spartan asked. “Belgian beast have you forgotten our arrangements already? We had a lengthy chat about this yesterday.” GBKimly said. Just as the Belgian beast was about to reply he was cut off by a homicidal raccoon who surrounded the demons with a group of his most trusted allies. “Yek yek yek, killing you will be the greatest achievement in my life!” said the raccoon. “GBKimly, we have been betrayed!” shouted Mannetosemir. In the meantime lord Mentor saw the opportunity was there to take the advantage and so he called for his wizard. “Hey Alikaman, give us the magic words!” Alikaman the word magician jumped from joy as he could finally do something to gain back the favor of his lord and in his enthusiasm catapulted the magic book he carried into the air. The book opened in its descend and landed print first into the mud, rendering its significance completely obsolete. Alikaman suffered a mental breakdown at the sight of his epic failure and cringed a few sounds as he fell down to his knees in defeat. “Ooh, eeh, ooh, ah, aaaaaah.” As consciousness was fading, Alikaman saw a shifty figure in a dark robe roaming the battlefield coming toward him, silently observing the chaos and when he stood over the fallen Alikaman he reached under his robe to grab his mighty weapon … a white little thingy? He brought it toward his mouth … oh no wait, he was just eating some popcorn. My fault, moving on … “How about we let our best fighters compete in a one on one battle?” Mentor suggested at the sight of Alikamans epic fail. “Fine” GBKimly responded. A massive beast was pushed forward from the legions vast army. “Uruk…why…me…r?” Urukwhymer asked as he turned to face his opponent. The opposing army had a lot more trouble as they started fighting amongst themselves over who their best fighter was. “I am the best fighter!” a Bulgarian brute said. “No, you’re too young” said musketeer Ryan of Epicity. King Christopher Carter got mixed in the discussion as he just started badmouthing everybody which turned the anger of the crowd towards him. “If given the opportunity, always go personal. Just don't take it personal.” said the king defensively. In the meantime the paint wizard double J Tycooner decided to take the time to give the allied forces a war paint makeover. In the end of their long discussion the Bulgarian brute Krum took it upon himself to end it and stepped forward to take the challenge. “Uruk…why…me…r?” said Urukwhymer as he looked at the massive Bulgarian brute coming towards him. Urukwhymer was pretty large himself but the Bulgarian brute doubled him in size. The Bulgarian brute gained speed and tried to kick off the head of the living legend. But Urukwhymer never backs down from a challenge, he ran toward the brute and just as the brute went for the kick Urukwhymer ducked underneath his big boot, turned and leaped into the air. The brute had no idea why his kick had missed and turned around to see the beast come flying at him! Urukwhymers arm hit the brutes neck with unimaginable force and sent them both crashing into the mud. While the brute had trouble regaining his senses, Urukwhymer started to feed off the now frenzied crowd and when they both stood back on their feet, he scooped the giant up and body slammed him so hard he lost consciousness as soon as he landed. Urukwhymer pinned the brute down to the ground and lord Mentor disrobed immediately, revealing the white and black striped referee attire he was wearing underneath. Lord Mentor hurried himself over toward the pin and started counting by tapping his hand in the mud: 1, 2, … NO!!! GBKimly had launched himself directly toward the referee and knocked lord Mentor out before the final count! Sir David of Brent, Sir Gerbert of Bryant and the master leader of the legion had seen enough and came to the rescue of the defenseless lord Mentor and so did the cavalry as the rest of both armies went to an all-out war! Until suddenly one voice of reason could be heard over those noises of battle. “STOP!” yelled the yellow dwarf GBKimly. “Look over there, the troll king is at it again, he’s convincing the young soldiers to vote for his shifty friend!” The fighting stopped immediately and they all turned their heads towards the spot where GBKimly was looking, to see the humorous troll king chatting up some of their youngest soldiers. The troll king realized the trouble he was in when he saw every elite soldier in the MMATycoonia universe looking at him with an angry face and he started running as fast as he could. Finally peace was restored as both factions finally settled on a common enemy and started chasing the troll king instead of fighting amongst themselves. Allow me to end this parody with a little wisdom. No award can leave a bigger mark on your life than the little moments you encounter everyday where you connect with and possibly touch people, even when you’re unaware of it.

  45. I don't know if it's been the subject of discussion before, it probably was since it seems like a simple way to add diversity to fighters builds, so here's something we've been talking about in chat today. Dropping the cap of fighters' max skills could be the easiest way to add that diversity to builds. For example, let's say we lower the cap to something around 60% (just throwing a number out there) instead of the current 75-80% (don't know what's the exact cap), we would get top fighters with primaries 15/10/13/9 instead of the current 15/15/15/14. That way, it lowers the number of fighter clones out there, and it makes fighter building way more interesting, meaning that you can't be Elite at everything, which should be the case in a simulation game. Of course, it would be hard to drop that cap all of a sudden, but I was thinking that maybe next island season, instead of creating regular fighters, the cap rate for the island would be 60%, all created fighters are around 30yo (with max skills available), and from there, we can see if it works or not. That way, people will be able to test it out, and know if lowering the cap would be beneficial to the game, or just another crazy thought thrown out there.

  46. 1. There was nobody in chat as normal. 2. An mib asks how to get a fight. I'm figuring it's likely humors (proxy IP address) but can't say for sure so I answer his questions and instead of doing something else I stick around to see if he has more questions (this can take a while for replies as many don't sit staring at screen the whole time). 3. So after a total of around 30 mins of wasting my time asking 2 questions he changes his name to show me it is indeed humors. 4. Why? There was no one there and no one to hide his ID from but me, he just wasted my time 5. If your that lonely and have no one to talk too BUY A FUCKING DOG http://media.giphy.com/media/11ltzoRD6zpEHe/giphy.gif ^^^Even Louie agrees^^^

  47. Moyses Mattos reincarnated within The Goonies... Axia Inc. ID # 91717 http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll160/mainya/lemar/The_Boondocks_Riley.jpg Eh, I'd rather stir the pot and piss clean, pure, excellent, greatness on somebody's tainted head. A very quick look at Axia's roster and you will notice the following - pay attention to Axia's 91717 ID number: http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=230079 picked up in free agency, released by Siddhartha Gautama (91854) after two wins and popping granite chin, he's released. http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=230091 picked up in free agency, released by Cavaleiro Templário (91812) after two wins and popping heavy handed, he's released. http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=230773 picked up in free agency, released by Cavaleiro Templário (91812), again, after two wins and popping heavy handed, he's released. http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=231652 picked up via FA, released by Bernard Cornwell (92286), after popping granite chin... now pay attention to his opponent(s)... Sinder II managed by The Boss (91870) fought both Rung Thyrm and Eddie Killer, two different free agents from two different managers, all created within - most likely - days of each other, both coincidentally picked up by one boy, Axia Inc. http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=263586 picked up via FA, released by Cavaleiro Templário (91812) after going 3-1 in QFC, popping heavy handed, getting finished by... Julio Rocha http://mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=263599 who was formally managed by Jackson Five (93292) who just so happened to release him into Free Agency, after popping granite chin and being undefeated, and none other than yours truly, the master scouter of the clean streets of Brazil, Axia Mattos picked him up from free agency... I'm sure all this is just a coincidence and no rules were broken here, a big misunderstanding made most likely from an organized meeting between friends and strangers at the internet cafe in Curitiba.
