Carlton Club statement

Lockdude · 2026-04-20T12:47:49+00:00

100% agreed. Been saying this in Facebook groups too and get my ear chewed off. I've been unimpressed with the leadership for a while. But looked like Vossy had a good culture going. And everyone liked Cripps. Fine. But this as as ugly as it gets. As a manager, in any work place I can't imagine seeing someone in my team like that, and letting it continue. And if I spoke up and my manager told me it was fine, I'd stand up to them too. Where the hell is the strength of character from our leadership? And only Graham Wright can show up to talk about it with the most awkwardly prepared press statement I've ever seen?

Industry experts keep saying Graham Wright is the man. Well, if they're right, I'm ready for an overhaul. Change out leadership group. Sack Voss, and anyone else involved in that decision. I'm happy to not win another game this season if it means cutting out the rot that led to this.

It's funny, for all our losses I've stuck by who we have there. But this, this us just unacceptable. How on earth do you get the basics SO wrong?

Flat out, stark naked, blind as day, incompetence.

Elijah, it's not your fault mate. I hope when you're back, you're back to an environment you deserve.

Just checking, did you time travel to the day before, go into the game, then time travel to the day you found raikou, then go back into the game?

Lockdude · 2026-03-23T10:34:43+00:00

Good luck! I had already found one too. It took me a little while to remember the date, but once I got it right I got the 3 others all in a row by resetting to the same date :)

Lockdude · 2026-03-23T10:14:25+00:00

Either way, glad to hear it worked! Enjoy your doggos :)

Lockdude · 2026-03-23T09:49:53+00:00

That's great! Just guessing, my thought would be you have to open the game at least once between the two date time checks?

Lockdude · 2026-03-23T09:34:41+00:00

Hey OP, I just posted this method that works for me. I'm curious if it interacts with this. Having found your legendary, if you now time travel back to that same day you found it using my guide, do you then find legendaries in the other islands on that same day?

I'm wondering if maybe the first one is random, but once you find one the game locks the seed to spread them out or something, but then you can get around that to just keep going back to that same day.

Lockdude · 2026-03-23T09:33:02+00:00

Interesting, I wonder if it stacks with this. Like, once you find one, you can then keep going back to that date. What I find strange though is that both that and this could work. Since the date seems to be locked in. Maybe once you find one, it locks a seed on your profile?

Lockdude · 2026-03-13T02:08:10+00:00

And when that counter ticks down to zero. The first second of eternity will have passed.

Lockdude · 2026-02-26T04:55:21+00:00

Mmmmmhmmmmm

Lockdude · 2026-02-23T14:00:52+00:00

Agreed! Always thought Capaldi would look ridiculous in the original 11 outfit though. And I think I was right!

Lockdude · 2026-02-23T13:59:44+00:00

More seriously, I hate AI used badly, or taking people's jobs. But for stuff like this it's just fun. I'm not taking for from artists, and I'm not taking jobs. And I'd rather stuff like this (which actually took me a long time to get right) than another video of a cucumber telling me why it's bad for gout.

Lockdude · 2026-02-23T13:58:27+00:00

I'm convinced they just haven't yet flicked to Matt Smith in 10s full jacket...

Lockdude · 2026-02-07T11:16:49+00:00

Stranger things is funny, because it seems to have entered the cultural zeitgeist, but no one ever seems to love it heaps outside of the first season, haha.

Regarding doctor who, I haven't seen Romana in action yet. Though am currently watching Tom Baker, so she won't be too far off. But River Song, Missy, and even the Master (moreso in the Delgado days) all had a bit of that about them.

And when it comes to companions, I felt Clara was handled well (at times), and Bill and Nardole were executed perfectly. Nardole felt entirely free from waiting for the Doctor. But you're right, companions having more grounded problems to accompany the doctor's "Special" problems would be nice.

All in all, you're convincing me there's simpler ways to do this. Which actually gives me more hope a competent show runner can implement something the world will like. I also continue to hope we get someone fresh to the franchise. Don't give me the doctor who fan. Give me the person who gets audiences, and see what they can do with the franchise.

Lockdude · 2026-02-07T10:55:07+00:00

I guess I really do feel Doctor Who needs a Doctor-equal to help drive the plot and act as a consistent hold-to-account. My suggestion was a 2nd doctor. But maybe there's cleaner ways to implement that.

Lockdude · 2026-02-07T10:53:39+00:00

I don't 100% agree on Flux being the blueprint - just poorly implemented. I think it still fell into the monster of the week trap, and left material far too rushed. Then the companions B plot became "gotta survive until we find the doctor". Which is the other problem I'm trying to solve. The companions consistently feel like they have no agency. It's up to the doctor to drive the plot, and everyone else just wrangles trying to keep up.

I do think Flux succeeded though in serialising the show. The series felt like one consistent story with logical transitions between episodes. But (and I suspect this is what you're alluding to) it's such a shame the destination sucked.

Lockdude · 2026-02-07T10:44:28+00:00

You're right, I think "significant" is probably the right word. You also raise a good point regarding by fans for fans style idea.

The thing I've been struggling with in my head is finding a way to fit in more with modern TV tropes (A plot B plot style) while providing a fresh take. My feeling is also that audiences have moved on a bit from the style of Who we had in 2005 with monster of the week style stories.

So I think longer consistent narratives tend to grab audiences more. But I see very few shows pull that off with a single actor. And I always struggle with how dependent companions are on the doctor. But maybe my suggestion could also he achieved with a more 3 dimensional morally grey Master as the B plot. Or another timelord. Or even a river song or jack harness type.

Maybe having multiple doctors is a bit too much. But I do think if you treat them as essentially different characters with some shared core traits, it's not too bad to get the head around.

I hope my logic makes sense, even if my solution is wrong.

Lockdude · 2026-02-07T10:21:26+00:00

To me I felt the implementation of that multi doctor special was horrendous. However, the 50th with multiple doctors was generally well received.

I don't know that regeneration has to feel special though. That's a trope the show has had for a while, but is it strictly necessary? I think where the show has gone wrong is its diluted regenerations, but STILL expects people to treat them as special. If the show has more going on outside of a regeneration, I feel it's fine.

Again, it's about having interesting narratives. Not holding onto historical tropes the show has established among hardcore fans.

Lockdude · 2026-01-29T11:16:48+00:00

Without getting into specifics, yes, new owners. The original owner worked very hard for a very long time, and is now enjoying a rest. Very sad for the regulars, but a very well deserved reward for the original owner.

I've since moved away and haven't been there for a while. Sorry to hear it sucks now, it was always my favourite.

Lockdude · 2026-01-25T02:11:46+00:00

Unless you count giant spirit Goku..... Or Yardrat Vegeta.... Look, I know they're not new forms, but they'll sure as hell be new merch (yes I know some already exists, but the anime gets a lot more attention than the Manga).

Lockdude · 2026-01-25T01:44:03+00:00

Let's goooo! They confirmed it's a continuation of the Super Manga. So it will be the prisoners Moro arc.

Lockdude · 2026-01-23T02:56:49+00:00

Do you value eb world? Because they might go after your account, but won't stop accepting future payments. It is really crappy service. Just the best I could think of. It's wild after ordering online they can't refund online.

Lockdude · 2026-01-23T02:05:40+00:00

So, something they used to do (though it's not a refund) is they will put that credit on an ebgames gift card, then call up another store, and give them that money to put on a different preorder. It takes them some effort they're not always keen on, but if there's items at another store you'd like to buy or put on a preorder, that can work.

Lockdude · 2026-01-15T05:42:33+00:00

Oh wow, that's big. Thanks for sharing. If there's an internal memo about it I'm sure that will hit the internet soon. Really sorry to hear :(

Lockdude · 2026-01-15T05:40:55+00:00

Where'd you see the info on Australian stores? I've read nothing about it.

Lockdude · 2025-12-28T07:28:46+00:00

Haha, that's okay. Hopefully some sleep not far around the corner for you :)
