THANK YOU!
I hope and wish your "sacrifice" won't be for nothing.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is a "rebellion".

I won't mention the successive "coincidences" nor will i go through the pretty telling chain of events.
I only want to shout one detail in all this mess, that makes it crystal clear for me.

There is NO WAY, other than this, these two long term servants of this game would resign from their front office duties, in the same week, without having found and appointed with immediate effect, their replacements.

None whatsoever.

I also have no doubt in my mind that this was their last choice and they resorted to it after everything else failed, in one last effort to put things in motion in order for something to change drastically.

Disclaimer: this is in no way a dig at GM-Manon who attributed the dual loss to personal reasons*.
I can see where he's coming from and the reason behind it, i just happen to disagree on this case.
I make a special reference because this is a matter that could be touched upon with regards to ethics and i wouldn't want anyone making the wrong assumptions.

I have immense gratitude for all our volunteering staff, for their service, work ethic and integrity, especially those whom i've come to know through the public fora.

That was the reason behind writing this post, after all.

My "own speculations" even if they were that, are part of my freedom of speech within the set rules and regulations and i am not willing* to refrain from my rights.

Most importantly, if you have a different opinion on this fundamentally , you would welcome a suggestion that you refrain from your own speculation that i don't know the real reasons.

There is nothing more respectful than the TRUTH and a sincere thank you, in my book.

p.s of course this is their own decision, no one forced it on them, i changed the wording in the initial post, thank you for pointing it out.

lol

I think you may be onto something maddog, but I have to say that I'm doubtful Marin decided to enlist help on the development side, if it was their decision to leave as they disagreed with him on the direction he wanted for the game or the lack of progress towards improvements. The timing is suspicious and so is the fact that they both didn't just go back to their previous status but took a 'double demotion' if you will (Foto EGM to not part of the staff and Perpete BB to GM). It looks to me as if this was Marin decision because of some disagreement, however I trust Marin much less than Perpete and less than Foto and it would be both of them on the same side against Marin, so I'm at odds with this interpretation.

Well too bad, I guess we'll never know and it might be just a coincidence as Manon implies. Let's hope it works out best for BB.

Just to be clear because you replied to me, Perpete's input in past changes or lack thereof, is irrelevant in my post.
I wouldn't change a comma, even if i knew for a fact that every single change that i disagree with, happened to be his idea.
It has nothing to do with what i meant and especially in how i judge one's work ethic, integrity and voluntary service.

p.s btw, especially with Perpete i had my fair share of disagreements...

Let's hope it works out best for BB.

Of course mate, we may come from different angles discussing about BB but we all share the same love for the game!

I'm 100% positive that inflation was mostly if not entirely caused by Marin (and the implementation of Utopia). You just need to check the threads where he tried to justify removing Free Agency when we had already hit 20-22k users. Then he claimed that it was to incentivise training and that young players were going to be saved...yeah, U21 players in large nations (Italy) retired before the manager could save them and he still claimed he was right to shut FA and his claims were all entirely accurate.

We told them he should manage inflation by regulating free agency criteria according to the needs of the economy (or increase training speed), but instead he's a guy for all or nothing: 12 seasons later we have seen 40 year old free agents with 60 TSP on the market...

I have to give it to Perpete that he doesn't usually have preconceived ideological positions, but at least he's able to argue his position logically (and yes I'm implying that others can't or didn't). Then we can disagree, but that's to be expected in a discussion.
