Ooh... :o This player will certainly raise eyebrows through the season! Another Rob, too. I know so many more Rob's since coming here.

That's fine. I figured, if I have a batting average of 51, it would be so cheap to have a decent bowling average.

Btw, loony bob.. are you a Rob? if so - YES! I have met so many Robs in the past year.. from being at a school of 400 people and being the only Rob, to being in a 3 person boarding house dorm, where 2 of us are Robs, its insane.. haha.

 

[Robertinho]

I also have another question.. does our Average dictate how skillful we are? Or is that randomly generated..?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

From your average a simming average is obtained to account for inexperience. That simming average will be worse than your submitted average, but not far worse. The simming average is more or less your skill setting.

Sadly, no, I'm a mere Daniel. But we have a Rob Malone and a Rob Timewell already, and a couple of years back I had a best friend named Rob. I'd not be surpised if there are more in the CW Dev League, not sure though.

This is probably another one for a round of e-mail wars, but I'm really starting to think that starting averages should not be in the range of really > 40 for batsmen and < 24 for bowlers, with increases and decreases dependent on commitment and forum activity (à la training).

This whole simulation's about creating a virtual parallel reality, and people should be rewarded for commitment and participating, there's nowt worse than seieng a team full of no-shows, and it's really not likely to keep fringe players interested if people can just appear with God/Cowanlike averages and walk into sides...

After standing in for Age over the past few days, I've already found that things are never easy for a CW Captain. :S Either that or they're testing me. I feel like a newbie at some kind of sorority and I'm going through their sick, twisted initiation.

I'm with Neil on this one, it would be nice to see some kind of limitations for rookies from now on. I've had many a person complain about how awesome the rookies are this season.

Then imagine being on the selection panel...

Haha! Wow, I never even thought about that.

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah i think that Neil's on the right track, however it may be hard to keep adjusting the players stats based on their participation levels. But i certainly feel bowlers coming in with averages of 20/22 in first class is unfair given that AFAIK no current player has a career first class average that good
