Well, when the Wrexham Board is dancing out front of the Ironworks with a cup in their hand trying to get enough spare change together to buy a cup of lovely whiskey (not scotch, we're way, way past scotch) and play "Freebird" on the jukebox one more time, they'll probably rue this day.

I can't believe I got fired. I was untouchable! Meanwhile, Arsenal is completely screwed. Their wage budget is now down to about 22m a year, total. They're still 420m in debt. They're going to have to sell everyone. So yes, giving a club a half billion in negative cash will kill them even if they're a megabastard. Arsenal could still recover, but they've already been docked 5 points for the upcoming season. I'm still jobless. I haven't gotten very good job offers. eta: Scratch that, now I'm getting midtable and non-megabastard top league job offers now that my reputation updated. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 03:12 on May 1, 2014 |

Could you take a job as a scout or head scout for Arsenal and then send them fake data about prospects so that their youth program is suddenly full of people with palsy?

So what are the other factors in getting approval for stadiums besides capacity used? Maybe if you got into the Europa League they would have approved the request. In any case, all I hope is that this gets written in as a bad dream or something cheesy like that.

Yeah, us lucking into a Europa League spot would be awful, so I'll withdraw my prize request. AJ_Impy's maniacle hatred of Arsenal will have to be taken out on them another way. I'll bring forth another idea tomorrow.

It won't be, I just have to put myself on vacation and let the game chew through the months. A good thing to have in the background while I wait for the voting period to close.

DISREGARD, Ex Nihilo saved the day. And I just hosed up everything. The autosave saved over the game. I wasn't thinking and didn't realize that my main save was an autosave rather than a regular save file, and would thus be overwritten after three months. The closest to reality is July 16th, 2020, as opposed to the original time line date of May 17th, 2020. I've been fired, and the new Wrexham manager has had 2 months to gently caress everything up. I can fix things, for the most part, but Arsenal still got nuked and Wrexham has lost all of it's coaches and sold a bunch of players. My last correct timeline save is May 5th of 2019, a full year back. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 05:02 on May 1, 2014 |

So how much is still salvageable via editing? I don't want the LP to end like this. If you keep going and not go back to the beginning of last season, I'm going to imagine that you got attacked by Tackleford supporters and was put in a coma for several months.

I don't own this game so I don't know if this will necessarily work, but it has worked for me for other games. Of course this is assuming you are using a relatively recent version of Windows, although I think that Macs have a similar option. Ex Nihilo fucked around with this message at 04:55 on May 1, 2014 |

It's frustrating though. Sky Shadowing posted:Also can't help but think this is sort of my fault... It's my fault for not heeding my own thoughts a half dozen times when I was setting up the so-called darkest timeline to save that separately. And even that wouldn't have helped, because I forgot I hadn't made a separate discrete save and was instead repeatedly saving over an autosave spot. But this teaches me to joke about the darkest timeline.

So.. how exactly is it even possible to come in 7th while spending most of the season with a wage budget less than half of the teams being relegated? Are the AI really bad at spending wisely? Is the use of highly specialized players that the game underrates getting you better players for the price than you'd be able to in real life?
