In Italy it's amost 3am... and I run out of cigarettes. :-)

Good to know there could be a suitable solution for everyone.

Thanks,

Nite

Oh my god!!! Let's see, one week's worth of imaginary training in an online game is messed up! I am gonna rant and rave and froth at the mouth and act like a pompous windbag asshole because somebody made a mistake.

Meanwhle, in other news, the world burns, babies starve, animals go extinct, airports are shut down by rabble, and people lose jobs by the thousands.

Thanks for making such an awesome game, BB's. I can live with your mistakes.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND to all.

but the only alternative would have been to delay the new training or just leave everything the same and get all of us very angry.
Not all of us. I had 3 pops and 6 strong game shapes. I was Ok with that, I wouldn't notice a bug. The re-run just added two secondary pops. Game shape were again 6 strongs for me only names changed. On the other hand many of my opponents have bunches of medicores suddently, which is of course not bad for me.

But I can feel your pain.

What supportes would win if they would be fun enough, btw? (not that I would be)

The world still burns, babies starve, animals go extinct, airports are shut down by rabble (you in an airport lounge?), and people lose jobs by the thousands even if they fix it.

So, I'm happy for them to spend more time to try and fix it.

If you could get started on putting out the fires, feeding the babies, saving species from becoming extinct and creating jobs in a downturning economy, then I'm sure we'd all be grateful. Ta. Post back tomorrow and let us know how you're doing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you too. What does that mean to anyone outside of the USA, btw?

OK.. so charles and I have been furiously discussing this issue, as we are both highly unsatisfied with the situation... and we just had a realization that might make the situation salvageable.... I dont want to promise too much till we work out the details and make sure it is indeed technically feasible.. and the solution isnt perfect, but it is better than nothing. Stayed tuned please for an update throughout the evening
Will there be twists daily from now?
Any other cahnge would do harm to some people. Maybe the affected group would be smaller than current maybe bigger but I would actually want to know which data are 100% reliable and really the fewer fixes the better. These changing prevent us from scouting opponents and nearly everything.

I never said anything about being any different than anyone else. I am no world savior. I am, however, aware that making an incredible show of rage at something as outrageously non-important as this is a farce.

Well, it means that I hope you are doing well and that your family is happy and healthy. It means that you and I and everyone else that can should take a moment to thank whatever you feel appropriate that you, at this moment in time, aren't sitting at the end of a gun barrel or other such miserable predicament.

And, for the record, I changed training and lost six pops.
It's okay because I'll train that next week.

I wake up this morning, happily looking into clock, it shows around 12:00 PM, and of course the first thing i should do (and i do) is to check how my boys have pumped iron this week. Of course my eyes starts shining when i see that ma man He Chuanxian got pop in OD, i can clearly see that his muscles has grown up from avarage to respectable, then i looked around to other mates, and my eyes doesnt shine so bright - there are no pops and i cant clearly see additional muscles for other mates, just Edmantas Kliukas got poped in Driving skills (i supose he got driving licence, or the first time he was not drunken behind the wheel).
As allways, i planning ahead, and as i didnt see, feel or hear "eveil" comming, i changed training to what i think i needed to train a bit for next week - passing for all team. Happily about He Chuanxian additional muscles, i quit BB. I went to market after food and icecream, did some other things, and then at home, i decided to check if i have told to my mates what things, tips'n'trick to do and what players to punch in next game, and what i see - training has been rerunned... i of course check my team, and what i see - ma man He Chuanxian has lost his OD muscles :(
of course he is in panic, anti-stressing pills all over the place, and because he is in panic, i am too. I take a deep breathe, check all other my players and i dont see any popup in passing, just my driver Edmantas Kliukas still has his new driving licence. i start to panic even more and i started to think that my training has not happened, i loudly caled for help. and what i see, BB-Forrest came acros and say to me that all is ok (and he even have time to mess up with my head and try convince me that there is only small difference betwen 47 and 48 minutes gametime or no difference whatsoever for training. that all because i forgot to mention that i changed training today :P), and training has happened, but i say that there should be atleast 1 popup in passing in my team, he do checking and say to me that i have got passing training, just none of my mates has gone over full point. ok, i begin to relax a bit, i read the posts about retraining complains and i began to merge with angry crowd. i spent few hours in this angry crowd, when i realised that retraining do me more good than evil for me. I felt 8 minutes short for my SG driver Kliukas to get him full training. i did a bit of math and concluded that i beter stick with retraining than get back first training. now my mates have learned passing skills a bit, and it will be safer for them to pass me a beer botles :D

what can i say, not always black is so black like it looks at begining, and no good without bad :)
GL to BB crew to fix things up like they have planned ;)
