Everyone shut up. Phoenix is right. All we do is pick a stat, upgrade it to max, and then move on to winning championships. We're clearly stupid people. Thank you for letting everyone know the truth, Phoenix. It's about time this ugly fact is revealed. All us stupid people being stupid and all. Again, you're the one saying all of this Mike, not me. I've personally been trying both methods with different fighters with little to no success yet, for the most part, yet, one method works great for Sandmen and the other works for you and a number of others. It's honestly baffling why they seem to work for nearly everyone else and not for me. That's all I said... I didn't call anyone stupid. the problem is that I usually just don't have 15 points at a time to put into a fighter every week or two like you do. You kinda do when you choose to though. Even after taking nearly a whole month off on two separate occasions, you are still second in all-time total posts. Plus you run a large team, so have more on your plate. None of this is a bad thing, or a criticism of what you are doing, just a statement of the different realities. And I still have to post nearly twice as much as you to get a point. The larger team part is about the only reason for any of it, but the fact still remains, that none of my capped fighters have garnered much success other than winning a tournament here and there since being capped, and even after tweaks, whereas, compared to similar situations on other teams with other capped fighters that are winning titles, etc., my fighters aren't near that level really. So, it's in terms of that, is what doesn't make sense. The fighters that have received less points, fine... they still have room to grow, but the fact is, for whatever reason, the simulator just doesn't seem to like the "algorithms" of my fighters, yet not all of them are "nobodies" and many have had significant upgrades to levels we've seen domination out of other fighters, but my fighters just seem to 'suck' comparatively. That's what's actually really strange. As for your own posting, while you do have to post virtually double than everyone to get a point, you are also posting well over double than everyone else because you're the simmer, so while I might be 2nd in most points, I'm fairly certain that the number of points you've generated is well ahead of what I have stiil.

Unsure when winning tournaments became NOT a success. We should probably focus on that, since getting a title shot is not free. You have to earn it. Earning title shots is legit.
As for the "because you are simmer" thing, you are still doing the math wrong on that one.
When I post a fight, I get a post. When you reply, you get a post. That gives us a 1:1 ratio. I typically bundle my reaction to the fight in the fight itself. So if you factor in the fact that I lose my reaction post to every fight, I am still "behind". I am "behind" the exact number of fights I post. My follow-up post is almost always a reply to the next post.
So again, the only "free" posts I get that I would NOT get if I were not simmer are "processed" posts, for points, "updated" for a few threads, and predictions. It amounts to about 4 extra posts a week.

When one of your goals is to win titles and every time they get to the title fights they die, that's not being successful.

It amounts to about 4 extra posts a week. You're "behind", but still ahead... and it's more than 4 posts/week, that's pretty much guaranteed. Quit taking it as an attack, cuz it's not... you're doing the right things to counteract it, which is fine... all I was saying was that because your post volume is higher based on the things you do being the admin of the site, you do generally have a balance of points higher than everyone else. That's it.
And @ The Rocketmen... So basically you're just going to keep sucking Sandman's dick then

That's it. No one is taking this as an attack. I am unsure why you think that. I am strictly talking mathematical facts here. When you look at how the site operates, if anyone else simmed, and I just commented on every fight (as I would), I get absolutely 0 extra posts from being the one who does simming. The logic I used to justify putting myself to 40 PPP was flawed. Am I missing something there?

Again, you assumed, and you suck at it. All I said was that your post volume is higher because you're the simmmer; it's just a fact. I didn't say one single thing about "extra" posts or anything of the sort. See, again, you flip it around to try and make it seem like I'm saying something that I never meant in the first place. The fact that you are at 40 PPP is somewhat news to me cuz I thought you were at 50 PPP.
