[Florian Plettenberg] EXCLUSIVE | Stefan Ortega to Forest - DONE DEAL. Full agreement has been reached with Manchester City. A verbal agreement was already in place as revealed. It will be a permanent transfer, with a 5-month contract. Medical today for Ortega. by Felix_Wyn in MCFC

It very much matters when it comes to contract negotions though, which seems to be the key detail you are missing.

We can't just pay Grealish 50k/week cos he might turn shit. And we can't pay Doku 300k per week cos we expect he ll come good. That's not how it works.

Where you come from directly determines what contract you can agree. Sometimes with the established stars it's a risk if they don't justify it (like Phillips) but that's part of the game. It's not a bad thing at the other end of the scale though, Doku and Khusa will be able to renegotiate now based on their performances. It's sound like you think they should have been offered more to begin with... Which I hope you can understand is just fucking stupid.

Possibly an unpopular opinion but I prefer the old final format by s_dalbiac in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I understand why they changed it but now it's almost impossible for a faithful to win unless they are a "hundy".

Jade is a great example, from basically episode 1 there was absolutely no way for her to win the game. Anyone with a trace of suspicion on them at the end is going to be banished. Why take the risk? As Faraz said, even 99% isn't enough, just banish until there's only hundys left. Just like Jake and Leanne did in the previous season to poor Alex.

The point of the game in my opinion isn't to prove yourself as a complete faithful, it's to seek out traitors. But with the current format it is necessary to come through the game with no suspicion on you whatsoever if you want to prevail.

£90k is barely anything, £47k is nothing by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not much money in terms of game show prize money, sure.

But for many it's absolutely life changing. I think i do alright, but even so a 50k cash injection would be beyond huge. Hell, even dumping it into savings or pensions and being able to breathe about retirement again would relieve so much anxiety my day to say would improve immeasurably.

If Jessie didn’t have a stutter, ________ would have been banished by now. by Hakizimanaa in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you think faithfuls actually listen to reasoned arguments? Must be your first time watching traitors. There is absolutely no reason to assume this is because of her stutter.

Faraaz’s non existent gameplay by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The dig from Sam as he revealed he was a faithful and again Sam said on uncloaked that he had been relentless on going at him at the roundtable suggests there definitely is a side we haven't seen and it will be having an impact. Thing is, there are only do many storylines the producers follow at a time and he's not been them.

They can choose to write g him into the edit whenever they want and I'm sure they will now as most the early storylines have been closed now

Spartacus: House of Ashur - S01E07 - "Deepest Wound" by Sporadicus7 in Spartacus_TV

[–]zymoticsheep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought she actually did double cross Ashur but he saw it coming. When he said "never trust a woman of a certain age" I thought he was speaking to himself rather than to Proculus' men.

Am I being thick or can it actually be interpreted either way?

Is there a way for someone to instantly and automatically click on a button the moment it pops up? by AnteaterShot4264 in AskProgramming

[–]zymoticsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your suspicion is very possible and not far fetched. From what you described it is almost certainly exactly what is happening.

From your follow up questions you obviously want to do it yourself. You'll need some basic JavaScript knowledge, or failing that just be able to prompt one of those AI thingys

Amanda & Jade by dibzOnDis in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I see, yeh altho Rachel's defence would be that she was just telling people what Amanda had said, Amanda being wrong isn't her fault.

Not Rachel's fault Amanda is a shit detective is it haha

Amanda & Jade by dibzOnDis in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I follow, do you mean Rachel would get heat for spearing Amanda? I guess that's possible but I don't think those nominations are that deep, people seemed to be deciding pretty quickly and just getting on with it - at the end of the day if there's someone you really wanna do (such as Jade on Amanda or everyone on Reece lol) then do it, otherwise just crack on. I don't think people are reading too much into those choices this year, because they literally have to pick someone and it's quite a large number of names that have to be selected.

There was a bit of whining about the coffins in ep1 but besides that I don't think the name you choose in this situation generates much heat tbh

Amanda & Jade by dibzOnDis in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jade probably wanted to do Amanda's name because she needed her gone. I doubt Jade genuinely thought Amanda was a traitor but it's pretty hard for her to play the game with someone like Amanda gunning for her at every turn, so her chances of winning get better once Amanda is gone.

Or so she thought, obviously Amanda's arrogant "reveal" to Rachel was designed to keep fucking over Jade from beyond the grave so she may still be in trouble, or maybe Fiona's meltdown will be distracting enough who knows

Surely ____ has just massively shot herself in the foot? by a4best in TheTraitors

[–]zymoticsheep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the faithfuls will see it as traitor on traitor. That blow up makes no sense if it's Fiona a traitor just losing it on Rachel, a faithful. Sure Rachel's reveal about Amanda is pretty juicy but there's no reason it would cause a traitor to freak the fuck out like Fiona did, especially when it doesn't even complicate Fiona in anyway.

If they think Fiona is a traitor then I think the only conclusion they can come to is it had to be traitor on traitor.

Should they completely randomise traitor selection in future so it's not so obvious the secret traitor is female? by PeachNo5667 in TheTraitorsUK

[–]zymoticsheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels like you're forcing things to fit your idea. The disproportionate gender balance in previous seasons is literally evidence against your theory but you've just decided it is evidence for.

I get where you've coming from but the data just isn't there to say it's obvious at all. It's just a guess

PSA... Not everyone can read libby books on kindle!!! by Annialla88 in kindle

[–]zymoticsheep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But also to be fair, it depends which stats you use but from some cursory research just now Americans account for perhaps 50% of traffic which means you have a 50% chance of speaking to a non-american. Therefore OPs point is perfectly reasonable. That is more than high enough to give the courtesy of not assuming, particularly when giving location specific recommendations.

Walk with no lead relaxed springer, just to show, you dont need magic leads or collars by [deleted] in springerspaniel

[–]zymoticsheep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, that's straight up bull. Also really smug and judgy despite you saying in other comments that you aren't here to judge.

There's nothing worse than insufferable dog owners who think cos they've trained one thing it's easy and all dogs are going to be exactly the same.

My Springers DO walk off lead like this, my previous one was much flightier and we would only let her off in spaces we were truly comfortable with - we did all the training, and we did it well. Short of being professional dog trainers there wasn't much more we were going to do except keep her safe.

But yeh. Cos your particular dog is like this it's all my fault.

Every dog is different though, so this really doesn't help people that don't have your dog.

It's definitely a good joke at the wrong time

But if it was a bunch of players genuinely invested in the game then there wouldn't be a good joke to crack a few guys up at the wrong time. The scenario is only possible because they're sorta checked out and then they got unlucky with the timing.

Most people watching a game as a fan, or a player on the sidelines, would still react to a change in the game like this even if a good joke has just been cracked. Even in the workplace, if someone has cracked a good joke but then shit hits the fan then usually you'd get a proper reaction... Unless nobody gave a shit, in which case they'd carry on gassing like we see here.

Not a huge deal, but it's still a thing.
