  1. There is a bit of a learning curve, but I don't think it's too bad. The link: http://www.dolphinsim.com/ccoach/ccel/index.shtml
  2. Dolphinsim's American College Football Sim is currently between seasons. Dolphinsim offers a text-based simulation where coaches act as both recruiters and coaches. Orders are sent in (or just maintained during the season), and games are run Tuesdays and Fridays. A coach's first season is free, and the cost is only $5.95 thereafter (a season lasts about three months).
  3. Been thinking about possibly getting another game. I only play strategy games, my favorites being Hearts of Iron III and Medieval Total War II. I also like the Civilization series (the ones I played, anyways). I've also enjoyed Crusader Kings II. Can anyone here recommend games of the same type of genre? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
  4. It's only a scam if he's not paying out win bonuses. Therefore, you have to assume that only one fighter is being offered the bonuses. You would have to conclude that it's only new fighters getting these offers and are being fed to veterans who aren't winning them. Either that's a lot of assumptions, or it's just something I haven't seen in this org before. It's hard to argue with a 91% satisfaction rating, though. I tried to be a fair org owner when I had one, and my satisfaction rating only hovered around 90%. My 4-0 fighter took this contract, and he's going to get paid well even if he only wins half his fights. I don't think I was offered that contract because my fighter is the can who's going to feed the org's top fighters. I didn't necessarily take that contract for the money, however. There's a lot of depth in this org, and I like to fight, not train forever. If you don't like the contract, don't sign on the bottom line. It's not a scam.
  5. That elbow sounded exactly like one of those TV/movie face punches. Whoever produced this thing probably shouldn't put it on a resume.
  6. When I ran a company, there was very little anonymous feedback, and of that, only a small portion of it was constructive. It was typically used to ask for fights, or more infrequently, to take the opportunity to swear at me under the comfort of anonymity. Its is basically a worthless feature.
  7. Unless you have a head MMA trainer who is advising you to go pro, the chances are you'd be making a big mistake by going pro. Independent guys trying to guide their own careers rarely have a great deal of success. You probably need more experience, too. I don't care how many boxing matches or BJJ tournaments you've competed in, you need more experience in amateur MMA fights. I train with the UFC's Michael McDonald, and although he went pro at 16, he probably had a combination of about two dozen amateur MMA and kickboxing matches (not to mention excelling in many jiu-jitsu tournaments). Even then, he almost got caught by an inferior opponent in his first fight. The speed and intensity of professional MMA fights catches many by surprise. Not to sound like a dick, your wrestling and jiu-jitsu background sounds extremely weak to me. I had the good fortune to spend some time training with Valeri Ignatov, a guy with world class Sambo and world class judo. He explained to me how much he learned about MMA groundwork from Evan Tanner nearly caving his face in on the ground. This is a guy with a world class ground game who was unprepared for some of the subtle differences in the MMA game. Don't even think of going pro until you have an MMA trainer who thinks you're ready, and is willing to look out for you. Unless you have somebody like that looking out for you, there's a very good chance you'll get overmatched opponents. Most promoters won't care anything about you - they just want to make money off of you. I train with a lot of young guys with records in various combat sports like yours, who I don't think are even close to being ready for professional fights. That doesn't mean you aren't - I have no way of knowing that for myself. It just means guys with records like yours are all over the place, and most aren't ready for professional MMA fights.
  8. I'm looking to buy a year's worth of VIP. Have game cash. Message me.
  9. Being concerned about hype has always seemed extremely gay to me.
  10. I felt moved by your pathetic begging, and also donated a dollar.
  11. jacky wouldn't respond to a fight offer against my fighter in the Eminence org. I told Eminence management that I wouldn't accept any further fight offers against jacky unless he agrees ahead of time to take the fight. I wasn't going to wait until the last second again to see if a fight was on again. The solution can be simple. A manager has a chance to decline an offered fight, but loses that chance if the fight offer is initially ignored and that manager logs in two more times or a few days pass. The fight gets locked into place.
  12. Currently a top-20 org without many fighters. Plenty of hype to make money, though. Click on my profile for the link. Will listen to offers.
  13. I've unfortunately turned into a poor org owner. I just don't have the time necessary to do a decent job. I'm looking for someone to take over the operations of my org for at least the next couple of months (and possibly longer). Salary is 15K per week plus 30% of org profits. For an experienced org owner of the past, I'm willing to pay as much as 50% of org profits. The percentage of org profits will be paid to the operator monthly. If interested, please contact me via private message. I'm more likely to see it than a response here. Thank you.
  14. Looks more like a joke from a saved email.
  15. Shiv did a great job finding my fighter a contract. He did all the homework for me. I highly recommend his services.
