Yes it seems to be fixed, i was able to accept a contract along with a message Thanks!

Still ongoing - I can accept or decline, but it won't work when i write a message...

Well that pretty much clarifies it - Thanks!

This has been like that for since always... i guess it would be easy to fix but it must be pretty low on Mike's to-do list.

Congrats to Scooby! Where can we see the other winners?

maybe this has alwayd been asked before, but can you have more than 20 fighters if you won a fighter slot on spin & win? I won a fighter slot a few months ago, and i'd like to know if i could buy one last fighter slot although i already have 20 of them... thanks in advance!

That's the message i get when i try to decline a contract offer. I just wrote a short explanation message and clicked the decline button, then submitted. EDIT : i just declined without writing a message and it worked.... looks like it doens't work when you write a message (and i tried 3 times)

Damn. You have to feel bad for this guy... at this point i'm wondering if he'll ever return for good.

Ragnar Lodbrok (91704) 8-5 in 2013 68-24 in 2014 Would have looked great amongst the new managers nominees, but since he joined in late 2013...

Thanks for the vote Marky! It's been a great year for me, but my fighters indeed need to step up in the top orgs wthin the following months see you in 2015 guys! And yeah, Big Dog seems a slam dunk anyway

I would love to see that guy against Mighty Mouse (Pride Style!) All jokes aside, Giant SIlva was taller than him, that didn't make him a legit MMA fighter

Awesome idea!

Modnar creates some distance for himselfand unleashes a massive uppercut that sends Paddon's eyes rolling into the back of his head! Paddon drops to his knees and Modnar pours it on with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout! http://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=709941

Here's a guide i wrote a loooong time ago : http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23837 There's been some changes in the game since then, but the basics stay the same

Gotta admit your points make sense... Can i be curious about the way you pounder the results with the WOC rank? I mean, how much the best ranked's opinion does count compared to the last ranked one? You're talking about ironing out poor predictions, but aren't they one of the bases of the WOC theory? if the weighting is too strong, you could get back to a system where you trust more "the expert" than "the crowd". Please don't see my comments as critics, I'im just a whore for theories and statstics, and i've been reading some stuff about WOC in the past too.. i guess i'm just happy to discuss this shit here rather than boring my wife with it Edit: also, do you use managers' confience for the WOC rankings ? here's an interesting read if you haven't stumbled upon it yet : http://www.technologyreview.com/view/528941/forget-the-wisdom-of-crowds-neurobiologists-reveal-the-wisdom-of-the-confident/

Yep - this looks like it was spanish originally. The french translation is even worse than the english one... and way funnier too.

A couple of random thoughts : - Maybe you already did it, but you should eliminate a small percentage of the most extreme predictions (on both ends), to get rid of errors and whatnot. This is commonly used to refine an analysis, although it kinda goes against the WOD theory... but maybe you should try with and without this, and see how it goes. - Not that i'm an expert by any means, but refrain yourself from tweaking the algorithm too much : One could be tempted (consciously or not) to tweak it in every way with too little data until he's "proven right". Great results don't necessarily mean that the algorithm is perfect, but would most likely mean that it "fits" with the few event you've got data from. - One thing i'm affraid of : If / when the system is proven to be working, the fact that the crowd opinion will be visible could affect the whole thing : If we have existing data visible before giving our predictions, our picks could be (again, unconsciously) biased by the people's overall opinion. EDIT : same thing about the "Manager rankings" and "WOC profile" : Hopefully most of us don't give a damn about our rankings, but the will to climb the laddr could lead to un-natural predictions. Plus seeing how we do individualy kinda goes against the principle

Same here, played a lot from 2009 to 2012 with my previous account before dropping out and eventually comoing back with a new account... MMAT has brought me a lot of fun those last 5 years and for that i'm very thankful.

Very eager to see how this thing will evolve - It's just out of curiousity really, as i unfortunately can't bet on MMA here in France - But i'm happy to give my predictions for the project. Mike maybe you could give out spin and win credits as an incentive to place predictions, but on the other hand it could make people predict whatever just to get the benefits....

I've always given priority to 2ndaries instead of primaries in order to "mask" my fighters' real skills... and yes, he is a fast learner, plus he's been training in single sessions since his creation.

Thanks a lot buddy - It does indeed look like his total hasn't increased since 8 or 9 weeks... I couldn't believe that he could have capped so young and with those relative low skills, but that seems to be the case unfortunately.
