I think the fact that you are a famous day trader might hurt you in your quest to become a MOD or GM. I think some members of the staff probably look down upon day trading. 1st problem..Day Traders are always in the bin. Are they really going to be working to make the game better when they are always looking in the bin for deals. 2nd problem. I have seen some of the players you sell and you sometimes put the prices way over TPE. So, when you sell such a player do you ever make a report that someone overbidded for that player...I don't think so. Would I want a day trading GM in my country? No, thanks. I have a day trading LA already. Seeing some one that the newbies will look to for guidence and help because you are part of the staff and then when they click on your team and see all your players for sell for stupid prices. Just doesn't look good. If I were a newbie ,I wouldn't ask someone that is preying on newbies to click the BID button for help.
The reason I posted this is because you are from Austrailia and one hour ahead of me in Japan.Since Japan has no GM, there is a chance that you could be put in charge on my region...So, NO THANKS......

Johnny B...What happened?..You were a great GM. Is there some kind of term limit for GM's?

Thanks for your kind words :)

lol interesting argument against me becoming a Mod or GM. Although I respectfully disagree.
Feel free to look through my transfer history and see if you can find even 1 player that I sold for way too much.
I already post a lot, which means that many teams have seen my players and their prices, and yet I have never been fined. So clearly the prices are not too much. :P And we both know the TPE is useless.

And there is nothing wrong with day trading, many teams do it.

All I'm saying is that not picking a manager to be a GM or Mod purely because they have day traded is stupid.

And we both know the TPE is useless.

...If the cheater tools are directly linked to the TPE, how can it(TPE) be useless?

Day Trading is like getting on a swing and having your brother give you a push to get started. To keep on being pushed is just plain being lazy, same with day trading. If you can't win without it, you become a joke. I read the forums..The people in your country view you as a circus freak. It's like you have become just a day trader. They hear your name and that is what comes to mind..Not winning games or being clever with the tactics...Just Naker the day trader. I would rather have a GM that looked like 95% of the users in the game, not the 5% that day trade....

Well...I guess will see if you become a GM.....Stupid or not..It might be a factor.

Yeah....I know..He also just blew his roster up to 1.1 million to win the cup.
First..About the GM stint.....Key word..SHORT
Second...He day traded back in season 4 and 5 before the tax...and then stopped when the tax hit. But yeah...People in Japan still hate him for day trading.

He's one of your fellow countrymen

Are you kidding me...He is a bloody Liverpool supporter...I think it would be better to say that we play the game in the same country.

Im not saying that the TPE is sometimes wrong. I am saying that since it is directly linked with the cheater tools it is not useless. I have a PF right now with great secondaries and I wouldn't sell him for the TPE amount. But, you can't ignore the cheater tools.

Could you please elaborate more on this.

So your complaint is that day trading is lazy?? In essence, you are saying that day trading is a better way to success. Which I agree with, the only difference is that you think you shouldn't do it and I think that you should use all legal methods in order to win. What's wrong as being known as a Day trader? Superfly does/did it, do you think he is a joke??
And I think more than 5% of the population day trade, but even if the amount is indeed that low, I think those 5% have boosted their team more so than most of the remaining 95%.

I'm curious why you think day trading is lazy though, it requires a lot more effort than training. I'd say that being pushed on the swing is akin to using training to success because all you have to do is get 48 minutes each week, there isn't a high degree of risk involved. Day trading requires a lot more skill to pull off correctly.

Could you please elaborate more on this.
Sure....If a player has a TPE of 700K and the player sells for 1.95million and the Manager is hit with a 700K fine. Then a cheater/day trader was caught because the TPE was there to give the Cheater tools a base price to go off of. It's like the cop who doesn't pull over the driver going 56KM in a 50KM zone. But if the driver comes through at 62KM he gets pulled over. I think the cheater tools work like this...Sell for 200K more than TPE..OK but a million over...Zap....BTW..That was a true story. The manager got zapped with a 700K fine..The manager thought he shouldn't have been fined because the fool on the other end hit the bid button. So the TPE is there to catch cheaters/day traders so it isn't useless.

Superfly does/did it, do you think he is a joke??

No...I think of Superfly as a BB3 Champ, yeah He used to day trade but I haven't seen it since I've been playing(season 7)...Maybe he just needed a push to get started..And Yes..I think he is a joke..1.1 million dollar roster in Japan Div.2. Maybe crazy is a better word...But he really wants to win the cup...

I'd say that being pushed on the swing is akin to using training to success because all you have to do is get 48 minutes each week,

Are you kidding me? This is a basketball game..Watching the game unfold is the best part of the game. Managing minutes, salaries..The training...That is the best part of the game.

What's wrong as being known as a Day trader?Day trading requires a lot more skill to pull off correctly.

That is why I don't want you to be a GM in my region.....
