    Snape won gold!! Upset of the year, what a dude. Out of all the upsets this year at the Olympics, I dont think anyone even gave Snape a second look

     

    Even I didn't and I'm supposed to be his manager. Actually, I just logged in, and not only found out that Snape won, but also just found out that there's an actual prize for winning this.

     

    Freaking awesome! Thank you everyone for the support (especially Troid and Grant) :D

     

    After an awesome New Year, I couldn't have pictured this ending any better than it turned out!

     

    Happy New Years!

    Delighted to see Snape make the finals, especially when most people would have written off his chances from the beginning. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he has represented himself and Troid EP with pride.

    Also, congrats to Shillings! Don't know if I'll win, but it will be an honor to make you bleed.

    Seamus Farrley

    "It was another easy night in london. The entire arena was filled with the Irish. My name sold every seat in less than one hour. Tats the power the Irish psycho brings to the world. I brought the belt with me and I took away with me. I wasnt trying to avoid the clinch as I feel comfortable there. Half my win come from clinching a guy and punching his lights out. Then snape tried to spam the clinch and I had to knock his silly ass out. His style got basic. This is my belt and it shouldnt be any suprise how this fight ended. Ive only won by knockout and ill continue to win by knockout. Im here waiting for my next match. Ive also been challenged by half the fighters In the world so who knows what will happen next. I do know there chins are basic."

    I believe in giving credit where credit is due - and you just got lucky. I'll do what is necessary to get the title shot back and then I'll paint the octagon with your insides :)

     

    You're good. Hell, you're the second best. But tonight, it's pure chance that secured your belt, not skill. Adios!

    "My name is Seamus Farrley and Im your HW champion. You need to tank me fir this speech. Go on, tank me. Monster hero wanted to welcome me to troid. I welcomed him to my fist and feet. Knocked his fuckin head clean off. His style was basic. He had a weak chin yea. 29 second KO.

     

    You wonder whos this handsome Irish guy headlining cards in his debut. Banging bettys and riding in million dollars cars. You wonder how Ive knocked out every opponent. You will know me.

     

    Snapes style is basic. Listen to me, listen to the irish psycho. Ill knock his teeth out. Hes not the champion I am. His clinch is basic. I went to his house. I said Snack, you got two choices. Option one Seamus farrley whips your arss right now yea. Breaks your fuckin nose good and proper. Option Two you give me the belt right here right now. Forfeit the title today like a good little laddie He looks into my eyes for a moment, Sees that I dont give any fucks, relizes I dint have any fucks to give. He walks into the house without sayin a word. Not a fuckin word. And he comes back out with my belt. Then he tanked me. Told me I was the best ever.

     

    Thats the power. Theres not a man alive that can beat me. Theres not a animal alive that can beat me. Noone can handle the power of the Irish psycho. So watch me. Watch me become a legend"

     

    You may be Irish, but you ain't no Conor McGregor. Maybe his retarded half-literate brother. So, stop with the cheap pretense.

     

    Also, if what you said was true, we wouldn't have to fight. Alas, the fight is scheduled and I wait on top, while you slowly lose tan being overshadowed by my greateness.

     

    The only plausible threat you are to me is that your thick empty skull might injure my knees. But thus is the burden of my crown.

     

    I'm more than willing to pop your little Leprechaun head until it cracks and pours gold coins like an Irish pinata.

     

    Cheers ;)

    Lexington "Lex" Snape is the ugliest mo fo in the game!!.....I want to smash your ugly face in....IN!!

     

    Listen little girl. Perhaps you believe you're tough because in kindergarten you beat up another girl in a batman costume, just before your mom picked you up.

     

    You go ahead and smash away. And when I'm done taking your face away, I might just do the same to your mom. Send her my love.

  9. Jet?

    in Noob help!

    Posted

    I'm a big noob in a lot of areas, so I've truly no idea what to do here.

     

    I won a Jet on Spin & Win. I would like to sell it - is that possible?

     

    If it is, how do I do it (what to click)? Also, how much should I sell it for? I don't need a lot of money, so I don't mind selling it cheap.

  11. Random events and life changes

    in Archive

    Posted

    If you look at UFC's roster there are very few who live a "rockstar" life, most guys either have a job or live a life centered around their training.

     

    A typical day for the guys lucky enough to be able to live of their sport could be like this: get up in the morning, eat, go to a training session, go home and eat, take a nap, get up and eat, play with your kids/ x-box/playstation, go to another training session, go home and eat, go to sleep.

     

    Fair enough. That would be a TYPICAL day, as you said. But happens when something upsets this hypothetical fighter. Or if he starts feeling lonely, depressed, or something? What happens to most people - they go out with their friends. And then, shit happens often to them (a lot of UFC guys get in trouble because of street brawls, crazy fans and some even get rape or assault charges).

     

    Also, what you said about UFC guys used to be true - most of them used to have jobs. Now those kinds of guys are actually rare exceptions. Most professional fighters that fight in the UFC or other major MMA companies can afford only to train and fight for a living, thus having a lot of free time (no less than an average employed person).

     

    But this is besides the point. Even if this did get incorporated into the game code (which judging by the largely negative feedback it probably won't), these random events probably wouldn't happen every day or even every week.

    Firefly.

    Best show that got canned. Needs to be revived, like for real.

     

    Couldn't agree more. I didn't recommend it because its cancellation was a tragedy that's bound to dissapoint anyone that starts watching it.

     

    Same thing with Terra Nova.

  14. Random events and life changes

    in Archive

    Posted

    Hi all! I was thinking today about what didn't seem realistic about the game since day one (althought I really really love the game). The fact is, we are supposed to be "just managers", yet our control over our fighters lives is beyond realistic. They all seem to be so professional to a point of me unable to see them more than simple tools for my purposes.

     

    Professional sportsmen usually have exciting lives full of drama, which is what makes a managers life more difficult. Some fighters are more "disciplined", but some prefer a rock-star lifestyle, which can have both good and bad consequences on their career.

     

    I therefore would like to make a suggestion to include a few simple "random events" and "life changes" that would humanize our fighters and bring a new dimension to the game (but without compromising its simplicity).

     

     

    Here are some possible random events I had in mind (feel free to add your own ideas to the mix):

     

    "Your fighter [name] decided to go out." (more likely to happen on thursdays, fridays and saturdays)

    Possible consequences:

     

    - "He got really drunk and woke up with a hangover." (-10% energy)

     

    - "He met a fan and signed an autograph." (+5% moral)

     

    - "He got into a bar fight and..."

    a) "... was thrown out of the club." (-5% moral)

    B) "... ended up in the hospital with minor injuries." (-5% moral, misses next training session)

    c) "... beat up a few guys and got arrested." (+5 hype, 200$ fine)

     

    - "He met a girl and..."

    a) "... she gave him a wrong number." (-10% moral)

    B) (more likely to happen to younger fighters) "... had a one night stand." (+10% moral)

    c) "... they started dating." (+10% moral + gained a GF [life change])

     

    (...)

     

     

    "In the last training session, your fighter [name], ..."

    - "... sustained a minor injury." (-20% training effectiveness, +1 day injury)

     

    - (very rare) "... sustained a serious injury." (-70% training effectiveness, +(2, 3 or 4) days injury)

     

    - "... really pushed the pace and learned a lot." (+50% training effectiveness, +5% moral)

     

    - "... got into an argument with the coach." (-5% moral)

     

    - "... was interviewed by a local sports news channel."

    a) "He ended up making a fool out of himself." (-5 hype, -10% moral)

    B) "He gave a great interview." (+5 hype, +10% moral)

    c) "He demonstrated a few [highest primary skill] moves and made a good impression." (+10 hype)

    d) "He demonstrated a few [lowest primary skill] moves, but didn't impress anyone." (-5 hype, -5% moral)

     

    (...)

     

     

    Also, there can be random events that include being mugged (or disarming a mugger), volunteering (animal shelter, soup-kitchen, teaching children martial arts...), a family member dying, car accidents, winning a lottery, attending night-school or martial arts seminars, etc. The real trick would be to find a good balance between positive and negative events, but still not enabling them to influence the game too much - rather just give it a small flavoring.

     

     

    Life changes that I propose are similar to random events, but with a more permanent effect. I suggest the following (also feel free to add to the list):

    Getting a girlfriend

    - Higher agressiveness and heart while fighting

    - Higher impact on moral decrease after suffering a loss

     

    Breaking up

    - -15% moral

    - -10% effectiveness in next 3 training sessions

    (and losing the girlfriend, of course)

     

    Getting married (more likely to happen to older fighters)

    - Same benefits as having a girlfriend

    - 5% slower energy bar refill

    - Minimum moral: 25%

     

    Divorce

    - -15% moral

    (and losing the spouse benefits)

     

    Having children

    - 5% slower energy bar refill (per child)

    - +5% minimum moral (per child)

     

    Buying a car

    - 5% faster energy bar refill

    - -5000$

    (possible car accidents)

     

    Buying a house

    - +20% moral

    - -20000$

     

    Strict diet

    - 5% faster energy refill

    - -5% moral (when starting)

    - 10% increase in effectiveness of training conditioning and strength

     

     

    So... what do you guys think?

    But I would like to ask you guys: Breaking Bad - what's the fuss about this series?? I watched the first 5-6 episodes of the first season and even though soooo many have praised it and said good things about it I just couldn't bother to continue. Will it change somehow? Will it get better?

     

    Maybe it's not your style. It's one of those series that you either "get" or don't. Or rather, you have to get into it fully, or it won't stick to you. I personally loved it from the first episode.

     

    That being said, most people I know started the series, thought it was dumb, went back a few months/years later and rewatched it and only THEN got hooked. So maybe you are more like that :)
