FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
i finally get a fighter to the top of EFC, take the belt then he fucking retires on me? after 6 years? im must be fucking cursed because everyone that looks promising throws the towel in as soon as the minimum career length is up


Well, it looks like he was recruited in April 2011, making it about 8 1/3 years. Still way to early for an EFC champ. That sucks.

This was the reset from hell! 1-12 record on the night, and some of them leave me wondering if I actually learned anything about this game as I ate loss after loss against guys who, statistically, I actually matched up well with or just flat out beat.

Fuckin' hell. I understand this game has a steep learning curve, but this streak kind of left me scratching my head in wonder as to what the fuck I actually learned, if anything at all.

It also doesn't help that my surprisingly good PL guy, Lawerence "Workhorse Guerrilla" Smith was easily defeated by Hector's PL guy who only specialized in both Sambo and Strength - I thought that style required more than just the Sambo and Strength!?

I can take Kotoku going on a losing streak like this now because I'm certain he's going to retire soon, but when the entire camp collapses like this, with some even picking on less skilled fighters and still losing, I just wonder what the fuck am I learning to improve my game?

ARGH!

Hector, I want to punch you... I really, really do. Just right in your digital face. :P

As far as I know, Sambo and strength are the main determinants of PL. Having stats in other stuff doesn't compare to having higher stats in Sambo and Strength. I could be wrong.

See, that's what bothers me about all of this, I know Sambo and Strength are important, but I've seen some examples and was told, leading me to believe, that a style like PL can't survive, alone, with just that.

In this case, I was told PL needs Wrestling/Judo to help it out, and then, based only on theory, that Jits helps it out some.

It's confusing the hell out of me in my attempt to learn more about this game. Instead of getting better, I feel I'm just getting luckier with fight outcomes going my way. That I'm not actually learning about the styles and the stats that help them out.

Just a God awful night for the camp, and nights like these don't encourage me to keep pressing forward, only to up and quit before I get stressed out from how horribly dense I am to this game, and, apparently, always will be.

I know the feeling of a crap night. I've had 3 guys lose 7 times in a row at the same time. It's like they got together and started doing heroin at once.

But look at your overall record, that will be a more descriptive idea of how you do on average. Sometimes people have freak wins, and sometimes it all happens in one night, against you.

Yeah, I know. But I look at that overall record and think, "man, I caught some really lucky wins." Don't really feel like I"m learning anything on a night like this.

Oh well, hopefully we rebound enough so I feel like I actually am getting something out of this.

Pray you get that 4 fights in 1 night bug. It'll tell you if you had made the right choice if 3 out of 4 times you won.

I'm mad now because of my dudes who is supposed to be very good on paper was losing like 15 matches straight. When I found out somehow I accidentally changed his weight to HW 265 when he only weighs 144. Thats just terrible.

How did you manage that? Fuck, that must've sucked thinking your fighter had shit stats when he was just being bullied around by fatter fighters.

I just thought he had bad hidden stats. I think this happened around the time I actually learned you could fight at lower and higher weights. We shall see now that hes back in his own weight class. Its all good really its just a camp I mess around with.
