Boards Cup IV - Game Time!

Are we doing 6 matches before the knockout stages or only 3? I'm asking because I only have 3 matches scheduled but I see 6 on the fixture list on the website.

Can't believe it, beat East Coast Tinders 23-24 with a bp on the road!
Didn't think I had any chance so moved a few players about, rested some (as the league will be my priority this season) and WNWIM!!!!
All the stats say I should have lost! If that was me I'd be so cross I'd prob jack the game in and take up football or something!!!

Oisinjm · 31-05-2010 11:07pm

Lost 41 - 26 to Yermen. Could have turned out differently though, had a try disallowed, then they got their own try allowed by the TMO. Then they got a try in the last minute. Was disappointed to not get the losing bonus point, but ah well. Can see myself bottoming the group

How did the WNWIM loss affect your sponsors contentment ?

I went down from 72 to 58, a 14 point drop :eek:

I was playing normal, against a higher ranked team, and it was a friendly :eek:

That seems a bit excessive to me.

Orizio, you talk a lot of nonsense here and that's fine, but there is a limit!

i had a 45 point drop, played normal too. only lost the game by 5 points. i think you regain a little bit everyday anyway tho.

jprender · 01-06-2010 12:03am

It's such a big drop though.

Won't that have a huge effect on the attendances for a cup game only 2 days later ?

You're excused - did you sneeze or something?

probably, its only at content at min.

daveharnett · 01-06-2010 12:08am

28 points up, winning against a side of similar (very slightly lower) ranking @ normal.
Looks like our new fans are realistically fickle then

God help you Johnnysmack when we meet next week !!

I better pull out a big win against that bot on wednesday so the fans wont go suicidal!!

daveharnett · 01-06-2010 12:24am

Just remembered this part:

Wins or losses by more than 15 points, or more than 30 points will also have different effects.

mar-z · 01-06-2010 12:34am

I'm not sure if the contentment timeline is correct. My team won and contentment went from charmed to cheery. But the timeline says I've had a drop from 73 to 60

satory · 01-06-2010 1:34am

Lost

Didn't want to start the season off like I ended the last but I did...

Thank god for the bot on Wednesday, new backline and tactics will need some more work over the coming days.

ok lads WNWIM is only to be played if you are sure you will win... I went from about 78 to 40....:eek:

and you thought your 14 drop was excessive? thats a ridiculous drop!:mad:

Phonehead · 01-06-2010 8:57am

Livid with the contentment changes, so they punish us for losing a FRIENDLY when playing it at a friendly pace - the fans don't bother turning up and we get no gate income from friendlies!!!! LIVID with this change, friendlies are now not worth the effort because playing at normal will kill your players. A friendly is like the British and Irish Cup - as a Leinster season ticket holder do I care if Leinster win or lose, no not one bit, in fact I have no idea who won that bloody trophy! I love how they role out the Real Life example when it suits but this contentment is nowhere near real life........................ rant over

I agree, Friendlies are there to train players not to be won at all costs:mad:

Apparently it is a bug.

Contentment should not move so much for friendly games.

Jeremy is working on a fix at the moment.

So I assume it will go back up to near what it was then? cos a drop of basically 50% is rubbish and very harsh if it is not returned to where it was.

And will he have it fixed before the cup matches? this could have more impact than just friendlies if not, I have plans that rely on a certain level of minimum income.

Winning on normal gives a nice boost though.

Just don't lose:D

I actually lost 13 points winning on normal. Jp dropped 14 for losing the match.

But as said earlier its apparently a bug, so hopefully will get sorted soon.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!

4 minutes to go, 2 points up. This happens:

TMO ruled it out. (Would have been a BP try too)

Then was on their line in the last play of the game and this happened:

Lead for the whole game too. :mad::mad:

My God that was some game alright, the last two minutes were nail bitting. I look forward to the next game :-)
