notes:
i will use mostly basic english, for a more translator friendly version (F2Pers = free to players/non token buyers, streakers = good results, slumpers = bad results, runs = previous results)
it is not really my post if i do not joke around. as i have said before, a serious day feels like i killed my inner child, or at least strangled him (kudos to dizzy)
these shameless advertisements are referrals to my team showcase, i see nothing breaking the rules
if you do not like my jokes, please buy a sack of salt from my signature, guaranteed saltiness to ease away the corniness
if you are reading this thread because you like my jokes, please redeem a free blessing from the fonz
otherwise, please read what cool kids read, the heart warming story of the inbeatable, indefeated, unvincible duet - goonskies, from rags to riches (kudos to cat)
teams and competitions must be of similar quality, within ±5? not enough tests to confirm. example: mostly 1* F2Pers in a mostly 1* F2Pers league/cup/CL and vice versa
must be at least active (i do not know when the abandoned team handicap pops up, but i am saying at least once a week)
every player has at least ranted about injuries, not being able to score, and of course, losing to teams (even against those in an illegal formation) far below their level. i too am an active player *shocked*, and even the great and mighty fonz *heart attack* suffer through the same strange fate. i partially agree with the people that say it is scripted, but the other part does not as you do see some changes. i called them 'challenge scripts'. i created a test team (rags to riches) because i was not entirely sure. i am NOT saying they are a mistake (...yet). they are doing far better than goonskies (and higher FB points), but if they start losing then i will bring out the sad truth and tell them 'you were a mistake, son, go home'. i now am absolutely, positively, yippy ki MOFOing yay percent sure of this. i now proudly present streakers and slumpers - the theory of team form - brought to you by try lingo wall, absolutely free language learning (all right (see, even this), done with the shameless advertisements)
have you ever wondered why some weeks you feel like your team could conquer the world? check
have you ever wondered why some weeks you feel like your team struggles with a gentle hill? check
have you ever wondered why some weeks you feel like your team went through déjà vu (yep, i just googled it)? SAY WHAT?
so i looked over my goonskies thread just to confirm a pattern. the unholy runt of streakers and slumpers, that is your team's performance. there are many types of them as far as i can tell, such as:
streakers; amazing run of games, win against stronger opponents, BARELY ANY INJURIES, barely any
* runs may vary, my longest streak us just under 2 weeks
suspensions, barely any problems
slumpers; can not score, losses against illegal formations, DISCO FEVER LEVELLED INJURIES, disco fever levelled suspensions, disco fever levelled problems
* same here, had a week slump with 2 injuries per game, 2 games a day, 16 injuries, emergency bought and sold players, all losses, for 4 days straight, after that my barely (football wise) legal team was on fire as usual
note: barely winning against much weaker teams count as a slump, in my honest opinion
sure you might say it is just your team, have you looked through the other teams? yes i have. i made a mental note on a few teams near my quality in my league on how they are doing, and which run they are currently in
for those of you who say 'do not take this too seriously, it is a game', i know. i tend to overkill thinking things. i am 23 years old and i have a few white hair spots. whenever i play a strategy game, my backup plans have backup plans as well. you get the picture. to successfully create a mod, one must check many files, even those not related to the mod itself, to ensure compatibility, i see this test the same way
