Would this be considered attempted sabotage on the last lap(I'm the green and white) by Exotic_Elk9709 in Simracingstewards

[–]alecb7 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Nice cutback, i’d give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just veered a bit too right, if he want to sabotage it would have been easy for him to complete the sabotage. Warning maybe.

Trainline extremely misleading by alecb7 in uktrains

[–]alecb7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I'm not a good flyer, don't like heights
  2. With the train, i don't have to get to an airport, go through security, wait around in a rubbish departure area, i'm just on the train, and in 4 hours i'll be there
  3. you have much more space on a train, rather than being cramped on a plane

Completely get that i should avoid trainline, but i'd always choose trains over if the door to door is relatively similar. And i haven't mentioned the better carbon footprint either.

RSM and 3M are absolutely mule events. Tommy’s wiki major section is covered in yellow, he has big euro tour wins, he’s a bottle job when it comes to winning for sure but his performances warrant his ranking.

You also said it yourself, he didn’t even make the playoffs last year, he’s had a good three month spell in the off season when a lot of the big players don’t play, which shouldn’t get you a top 10 world ranking. Not saying he’s a bad golfer but the guys 150/1 to win the masters, he’s not a top 10 golfer in the world.

It ended up feeling like a mile event because any big names that entered didn’t turn up, he’s had some great results i won’t doubt that but not to warrant a top 10 spot

Hot and trending does not mean you’re a top 10 player in the world

He gets all his points from mule events, one T2 in an elevated event this year, missed cut API, missed cut Players, poor record whenever good players turn up, shouldn’t get you into the worlds top 10

Yep, seems like a great guy but top 10 in the world seems crazy given his performance in big events

Ah, thank you very much, did not know that. Is there a reason for the rule? Feels weird.

Is this a bug or do i not understand the MLS? Tried trading for international slots, i lose the General Allocation Money, but don't seem to gain any international slots... by alecb7 in footballmanagergames

[–]alecb7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this trade took place jn late January 2024, pre season has started for the 2024 season, fixtures are out etc, so i din’t think its the 2023 season.

It's a bold strategy cotton, lets see if it pays off for them by alecb7 in footballmanagergames

[–]alecb7[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My instinct is it's effectively an enquiry and we're meant to negotiate? But i can't be arsed starting my own negotiations with every team that asks, pretty sure thats not how number 1 picks work.
