Week 1 Results

shall i just roll a dice? might make it less painful?!

place your bets.....

(before anyone gets excited, no i havnt got 'the' results of course)

Paul said he is sending them to you sometime this afternoon mate.

Anyone heard any whispers about the results, the suspense is killing me!

well rob had a chat with paul earlier. not sending the turns til after the weekend is what he was told

Bugger, arse and botheration!!!!

argh man,

how come? impromtue holiday?

what we reckon then another dealine extension? must be if turns arnt getting back til Tues,wed etc.

god dam it

damn has an n at the end.

Is it just me or does anyone else get the impression Paul is seriously losing interest in the game.

Has it always been like this or just recently?

he's not the only one

I dont understand!

First Paul restricted the amount of dealings to 10 which we all agreed with and have stuck to

Then he split the game into the forum game and the postal game

Now he's cut the number of leagues in the game

Surely all this should result in Pauls job taking less time to do as he's got less dealings to process, less player's turns to input and the game itself should run quicker, as well as having less turns to print and post!

The logical result of this should be we get our turns back sooner!

So what's going on?

I don't understand!

The postal game still needs to be run so I don't see this as a time saver.

I can only speculate as to what would cause a delay but maybe Paul has made a big change to the game and want's to get it sorted before the new season kicks off. I'm not sure if the manager rating system (which I'm sure I'll hate) has been fully implemented yet? Pure speculation of course.

I'm pretty sure the postal game doesn't exist

The delays and dragging it out are starting to take a toll. Has anyone else spoken to Paul and said it's an issue?

He sent me an email yesterday, I replied straight back asking about turns and results and didn't get a reply.

The close season changes may be taking a while. Also the reality manager thing keeps being tweaked and new ones entered, so this could be causing the delay.

The frustration is caused by us not knowing what to expect when.

If Paul came out and said 'there's a bit extra to do each week before the game is run, so for the first two weeks of the season, you'll get your turns on the Tuesday...'

But he doesn't.

If the postal game does exist, I was under the impression it was being run on the alternate week

Jamie, by week do you mean universe?

Then when does Paul run game 4?

i'm with rich, there isn't a postal league....otherwise why on earth would we have a lazio manager in the forum game that isnt on the forum?

nice one rob, i was thinking the same! i think a lot of things in Paul's life operate in a similar vein the whole splitting of the game was just a made up thing, that was clear to me on week 1 of last year when paul said that postal players complained that the forum had priority over international teams and that was the reason they wanted the split. well....if that was the case then paul shouldnt have given that priority, though i never remembered a priority system like that being in place, just paul tossing a coin like he always has. it was just an excuse to get the 'fake' managers out of the game because paul neeeded a semi-legitimate made up reason to get them out of the game cos everyone knew by then that they didn't exist.

of course, i could still be wrong and aliens do exist aswell as life on other planets

Any news on results front stu?

nothing mate i'm afraid

Stu, If aliens exist then the Pope's a nazi ............. wait, hold on, I forgot he was in the Hitler Youth.

On a brighter note as there's no post tomorrow, no-one will be disappointed when the turns don't arrive.
