Myth 1: Clowns

Description: The myth says clowns (=player in a team with high agreeability and high(est) leadership) have a positive impact on team spirit.

Test method: In order for the myth to be true the leadership value need to be taken into calculation. So, we listed all code which included the leadership value to find out if there were any code which could (or had the slightest theoretical possibility) to confirm this myth, and then check that code in detail.

Result: We found no code which had the slightest theoretical possibility to confirm the existence of clowns. Not even close.

Verdict: BUSTED! Definitely. These players may have clown masks, but they have no impact on team spirit.

(The rules will naturally take this result into calculation soonish)

Myth: Physioterapists doesn't have an impact (on injuries)

Description: It is said that physioterapists doesn't reduce the risk for injuries.

Method: In order for this myth to be true there shouldn't be a trace of any physioterapist in the code (alternatively they're taken into calculation, but that part doesn't have in impact or doesn't change the result). So, we did check if physioterapists are in the code, and if they were: Check if that part has an impact (and the desired impact).

Result: Physioterapists exists in the code, and that part of the code has an impact - and it also has the desired impact.

Verdict: Busted! Physioterapists do reduce the risk for injuries.

Comment: Physioterapists work as intended, not that surprisingly for myself at least. As some users thought they also had an impact on injury times (once you got an injury), we checked that too: They don't. Physioterapists only reduce the risk for injuries.

Myth: Pic and Mots have an impact on the probability to score a goal once an action has been obtained.

Description: It is said that the team attitude (play it cool etc) not only affects the midfield (the possibility to obtain a scoring opportunity) but also the probability to score a goal once an action has been obtained.

Method: In order for this myth to be true the team attitude need to be taken into calculation in the "attack vs defence" calculation. So we checked if it is a part of that calculation, and if so what impact it has.

Result: Team attitude is not part of the attack vs defense calculation at all.

Verdict: Busted! Pic and Mots have not any impact at all on the probability to score a goal once an action has been obtained

Comment: I would have been very surprised if this myth had been true, even though it from a human logical point of view could (should?) be true. This could however perhaps be a lot clearer in the rules I think.

Myth: Self confidence has a larger impact than what is visible in the match ratings

Description: It is said that self confidence affects the attack outcome a lot more than what is reflected in the ratings.

Method: If self confidence has a hidden effect on attack, it has to be used in the attack calculation - but outside the rating calculation. In other words, either self confidence isn't in the attack calculation at all, or it's used twice (one time in the rating calculation, and one time outside the rating calculation).

Result: Self confidence is used in the attack calculation, but is used twice - once in the rating calculation and then once again outside it. This means it self confidence has a hidden effect, and a larger effect than what is visible in the match ratings.

Verdict: Confirmed.

Comment:This result wasn't really surprising from the "results" from some community investigations. We are currently thinking about how to deal with this, there are some different solutions to consider. What is clear though is that we want to make self confidence a lot more visible than what it is.

Oh, and another thing: Some users suspected that when the self confidence was very low (=0), it was very hard (impossible) to score no matter how good forwards you got. This can not happen anymore. Low self confidence will naturally make it harder to score, but it will not be impossible. The other extreme (always score no matter how lousy your attack is) is also fixed naturally.

Ja crap, ik heb dus voorlopig de gotcup "gemist".

Twee weken geleden kreeg ik net een mail dat de matchen geloot waren, maar ik had enkele uren daarvoor al een match geregeld.

Deze week ben ik weer te laat, en weer een wo aan mijn botten.

Wel volledig terecht, al had ik het mailtje wel iets te laat ontvangen

In ieder geval ik moet volgende week blijkbaar spelen tegen Driebier, en ik ben dus ook van plan om die matchen gewoon terug te spelen, dus driebier als je dit ziet, verwacht aub geen WO.

Ik heb trouwens van niemand van mijn tegenstanders een mail gehad om toch een match proberen te regelen?

Anyway, volgende week speel ik terug mee, is dit ok?

Misschien dat Dsanka weet wanneer er een tweaker het verst kwam in de beker? Heeft iemand hem uberhaubt wel eens gewonnen?

Misschien (als iemand er zin in heeft) een statistiekje met best behaalde resultaten van een tweaker in de OP?
