The Night Watchman

Yes, this is another attention seeking article, but since I’ve bothered to write one, I deserve the attention and whether you give a crap or not, thank you =)
Last week, Wild Tangent fielded their 2nd XI (117k) and defeated Jail Bred Boys (125k) with a 6 wicket win to remain undefeated in SOD 3.2 Aus. [...]

Hi, it’s me again!
Ironically, after rating the best 5 new implementations in FTP last episode, I though it would be a good time to talk about match ratings.
Everyone has a kind of love/hate relationship with match ratings. A manager always strives to improve his rating as much as he can, and there are a lot [...]

Whilst frantically trying to find something to do on a Saturday night after a day of uni work, I found myself watching Match of the Day whilst reading the new features set to be released in the next game version. Then I find a thread bringing up the supposedly dreaded “boring” version of the game [...]

It’s been a busy week for many managers, the cup’s still in its early hectic stages, leagues are being fiercely fought as managers try to establish their positions and there’s fire sales left, right and centre.

So first up, hi I guess. Good, glad we got that sorted.
The other day I was contemplating just how cool I would be, after starting the next big thing in FTP - Weekly Butlee Rantings, and I came around to thinking that this has got to be right up there with all the big things [...]

The top of the table clash between Shane’s Destroyers and Wild Tangent was finished off with miraculous ftp match engine blitz. John Wright, with a batting summary of Ordinary, struck 19 runs off 6 impatiently winning the important match.
This sends newly promoted Wild Tangent to the top of the table in addition to a notable [...]

This is based on my personal experience, I’m sure others have found their own ways but this is mine.
At the beginning, I was poorish, with 70-100k and it was only boosted by abit. All my competition were on the low ends of divisions.
I generally keep my players, and especially the ones that perform for my [...]

WIth the Totally Random Open Tournament or (TROT) as it is known nearly at a close the Stanford Superstars are $1.20 favourites to take it out. They sit 4 points in front of Zimbabwe division 1 side Portsmouth Cricket club and also have a hefty NRR ahead. The tournament started off with high hopes for [...]
