  1. Try to be a bit more creative Xanax and don't be afraid to have longer sentences. Just mind your commas and you should be able to create full bodied sentences. Stuff like this "Fairly even matchup here with both these guys being well rounded in all skills" could use some more thought for sure, especially as the opening sentence of the write up. This is a piece I did for NFC about 2 and a half years ago. I feel like it's a good example of how you should be creative with your words and try to keep it compelling. One thing I did was try to avoid the skill words like respectable, competent, superb etc. Looking back on it I had a staggering amount of misplaced commas too lol. http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12408&p=333907
  2. There are many useful things out of the 10th Planet system, I've been training in it for like 6 years and have trained with Eddie numerous times However, I do believe that there is a time and place for everything. Rubber guard is not something you can rely on in an MMA fight with another sweaty wrestler on top of you. It is too hard to control their posture. It is a tool to be used when you need it but being on the bottom in an MMA fight is a recipe for disaster. The concept is accurate in that you always want to be clinching your opponent and never allowing him the space or posture to inflict damage, but it is amazingly hard to pull off in MMA. The half guard and twister game is amazing and effective though. Will always have faith in that stuff but Rubber Guard can let you down if you rely on it.
  3. Pretty good. You should really tone down the commas though to trim down the run on sentences. After a brief hiatus from fighting while enjoying the best wine, women, and song that Sydney has to offer, Carter Potter, looked to make his return to the cage and dominate the MMA scene more like this After a brief hiatus from fighting while enjoying the best wine, women and song that Sydney has to offer, Carter Potter looked to make his return to the cage and dominate the MMA scene
  4. I would come back to writing and claim the throne if I was getting that kind of money. I wrote in the days of 5k per write up lol
  5. Gajewski is one of the most unassuming fighters ever. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulled it out with a stoppage. Regardless, I got... Vanilla Oliveira Creel Allen
  6. Here are a few tips for writing First of all try to spell the fighters names correctly. Also one of the very first things you should do is check and see if the fighters have already fought before. If they have you just found a ton of material to write on, what X has to do to improve, briefly discuss their previous encounter etc. The most important part of doing this is so you don't look like a fool writing as if they haven't fought before - I've done it in the past. Don't mention that fighters are Abu Dhabi champions because pretty much everybody is, all that means is that a fighter has a black belt. A tiny bit of research goes a long way and with older fighters with longer careers it's pretty easy to find material to write about. Did the fighter start his career 0-5? Did start it 15-0 then have a miserable streak of failures? Overall you are quite a good writer so I'm not bashing I'm just trying to give some insight into the writing game
  7. A little more active huh I just got back from a 7 day hike
  8. Good luck with your fighters but cancelling events is not cool man. Especially when the fight has been on the books for 3+ weeks. Very classless in my opinion but it is what it is
  9. My dad thinks this video is fake. At one point the eagle actually glides/flies with a goat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XafAdkZIYKA
  10. Look at the match I just had http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=691255 The last 10 minutes. Lol. I don't get the time in this game. In the clinch time is slowed down like crazy and there is a million actions
  11. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/marinade
  12. This is normal flights not jets
  13. this thread flopped but I will contribute "never marinade steaks" - JLP
  14. So I thought I flew my guy the other day but it turned out it didn't fly him because he didn't have money I think it should pop up and be "Your fighter cannot afford this flight" As it stands there is no warning and the same thing happens if you fly or don't fly. Now my guy has like 75 or 80% energy for his fight lol
  15. You forgot fabulous My fighter has fabulous boxing! And a fabulous sense of style
  16. My guy got stood up from mount once by the ref After the dust settled the result was me getting a forum ban, Lol
  17. Pretty sure the highest is 7.5 I would keep a 5.0 if he was extraordinary in other facets
  18. I feel strange reading this from one of the 09ers. One of the best managers ever no doubt. It's a rare trait that you retained faith in your old fighters and stuck with them when many other managers may have pressed the eject button (Mackenzie King, Dawkins, Russo, Svetnela etc) Enjoy your new home, take care of your kids and love your new job. Although you reached the pinnacle of achievements I'm afraid nobody quits for good. Tycoon will be waiting for you when you return!
  19. I tried this game and it is confusing as hell but maybe I'll pretend I like it and get in on this thread to spam for credits!! Town of Credits!
  20. Just curious as I have never seen it before in my 5 year tenure My guy just got stood up from back mount! Pretty incredible lol Zeus is sneaking out the side here. He's bucked Buchanan off and has taken his back! Zeus is throwing strikes from the back here. Oh that last one was to the back of the head. Zeus gets a warning from the referee. He throws another strike to the back of the head straight away though and the referee has seen enough. He breaks up the two fighters and stands them back up. Zeus gets a real talking to here and is lucky not to get a point deducted. Zeus apologises and we restart here on the feet. I assume this either got implemented recently or it's a very very small chance that it happens. I wonder if point deductions are also in the game but at a rate of like 0.005%
  21. Nah I only discovered him today In the first post I was referencing somebody else
  22. Found another spam artist, this guy isn't the same guy I was referencing in the OP This idiot joined 2 weeks ago and already has basically 600 posts. In addition to his fucking ridiculous spamming (basically 42 posts a day) and here's one of his quotes from today he's also a retarded sheep. Joining in on the fun ragging on me for whining and complaining, he's been here 2 fucking weeks and is capitalizing on the whole Lockdown is a whining bitch pitchfork mob. He hasn't even been here long enough to form a fucking opinion, just comes to our forums with his bullshit motives. His only motive for posting shit is that he won't get downvotes. People like Kenlow73 are sheepish cbombs. The whole "Why bother being myself and giving honest and thoughtful discussions when I can put on this bullshit fairy land facade and act like a completely different person for the benefit of spin and win credits" is a JOKE. Whatever, I guess the community would much rather have a throng of fake ass lovey dovey spam artists like this guy than people like me who speak their minds.
  23. Lockdown

    Death

    What happens when your jet degrades in quality doesn't it crash? Or does it get highjacked by terrorists and flown into the ground
  24. Good one. I'll vote you up for creativity
