About the cross-training I agree with you, and lot of other parts in the game that they give little informatrion about.

But you can't always defend the BB, there is no harm in clarifying what players will become free agents for example, that is not something we have to experimente ourselves. But even the BB said they could've made it more clear, I take that as a good point, they know what to say and what to hide.

There is another reason, why it could be as clear as possible and that is translation. If it's hard to understand for LA's it's even harder to translate it in proper way. In our language version from time to time news and other texts are translated in wrong way because of not clear original statement. And that's real problem for users which read just translated version and not the original one.
In your way it could end which statements like "we made some changes, try to find what they are ..." without any additional information.

Personally, since I first began playing this game in season 3, one of the things I like most about it is the news announcements from the BBs. I appreciate their literary flavor and think they add a lot of color which actually set this game apart from other online sim games. And, you are absolutely right about the FA part. Lo and Behold, a BB came in and clarified it.

@rwystyrk- you have a point. I feel for those of you who cannot appreciate the nuance and coolness of the writing style, and those who need or want to be be spoon fed. I don't have any foreign language skills that would allow me to translate nuance and vagaries, but I assume that some LAs must. I for one would be bummed if future news releases were a set of bullet points.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I wonder how some of my posts get translated...

Which reminds of that time when I was in a car wash, and the people who said they worked there tried to get me to leave the car wash and I was like, what are you guys talking about?, since I had already paid for the car wash, and what they said sounded a lot like blub blub blub wshhh wshhh wrrrerrrw and it kept getting harder and harder to understand them since I was getting more and more soap in my ears and when I was finally done with the car wash they wouldn't even towel me off.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

That sounds like a good topic for the Suggestions Forum! I know there is a history of posts related to the TL search functions. If you have some ideas, maybe go look to see if they've already been suggested and let's see what sort of new energy you can bring to that topic. I know for a fact that you've got some serious insight into this game, I suspect you've got good ideas on this issue.

could I suggest that a thread be started in the help forum for news announcements too? And a quick link placed in the announcement.

1) to stop 1 million threads being posted about it
2) for clarifications if required


seems like a simple enough solution?
