Let me add: i'm actually an admin of this game and have a fuckload of money (seriously), but once it REALLY starts, i will try to play it like the rest, because that's what i'm here for.

-> money regularly to the players. So, what the fuck, here you go: the rest of the players have been awarded that very $1k too. And yeah, you're an idiot if you actually take this that seriously. It -is- a public beta after all.

-> other hobby projects. As for the money that was given out, it was: a) in a way a treat for having to bother with manually updating some of the player's account details -- and b) I've been meaning to have a cron running every X hours to give out ->

Sorry to hear you're leaving the "game". Honestly, I can't really see anything decently playable about SM in its current state. I've planned many things, but I can't really be bothered with them right now because of a plethora or real life issues, and ->

Hi! Just announcing I'm leaving this game, after finding out that other players get their money straight from Toumaz and buy better players that way. Need an elite player? Just ask the admin! I must be an idiot to follow the rules. Bye!

Lack of Updates

Today I finished my second to last year of high school. Yay. For the last couple of months, I haven't really bothered with any major development for SM at all. PHP on the whole just ticks me off in a way as I changed my way of formatting code as I started using C++, and the match engine, the bloody backbone of the game, is pissing me off -- it's ridiculously complex and yet it's rather inadequate.

Instead, I've worked on some website projects that actually could render me some money in the end, or in another case, something I actually enjoy (this being a multiplayer remake of this game in C++).

... To tell the honest truth, I'm just not creative enough, and there are issues (as I mentioned, the match engine especially) that effectively nullifies any fun that I could get out of actively working on SM.

In semi-unrelated news, I added a forum section for bloody ages ago to the Soldat Bollox forums for SM, and now I actually realized that adding a link for it on the site would be a swell idea. If you have any suggestions -- be it bashing, comments or even new ideas -- please do post them. I'm open for pretty much anything.

Player Name Changing

As certain people has been urging me to add this feature, it's now been implemented -- you're now able to change the names of the players in your squad. For a small, obligatory fee, of course.

Apart from that there's a few behind the scenes changes and optimizations to the game interface, but nothing all too revolting right now. I tend to be very busy as of lately because of some imminent school exams.

Toodles!

Spectator Money

I've just finished adding a new feature that'll actually make Max Spectators useful (unlike Max Players for the time being ;). Spectators in SM are what the crowd is for a football game -- they join, chuck up a bit of money in order to watch, and go home drunk. Well, perhaps with the exception of that last part.

The manager who has posted the CW will gain money from spectators now, dependent on the max spectators he is able to support. You'll see a nice boost in money this way. :) Keep in mind that this doesn't apply to the manager accepting for the time being (we've still got a few kinks to work out before deciding upon that).

Oh, and this also means that I've been forced to clear out all the event logs thanks to the structure change this brought. Apologies.
