There have been some changes to the game:
1. John's choice is now one of your votes, randomly picked (i.e., it is
no more the option that receives more vote). Why: to incentivate people
to vote even if a consensus has formed.
2. In market rounds, you will now be given the chance to make an offer
for any player on the market (i.e., players on the market will not be
selected by the staff anymore). Why: to make gamemastering quicker,
without changing anything substantially.
3. Most of the data will now be presented to you through screenshots of
the game on a webpage (i.e., it will be no more true that all data are
presented in the posts). Why: to make gamemastering quicker.
4. You will find the Staff members' algorithms for picking the starting
XI at the end of each post (i.e., you will not have to look for them in
previous posts or notes anymore). Why: because I am the most benevolent
gamemaster ever.

About the game
--------------
You can join the game at any time. Randomly picked vote chooses (picked
when the next choice is set up, something that happens at least 23 hours
after the choice is posted).
This is a career in Sensible World of Soccer 96/97, a videogame. Prices
are in pound sterlings.
Here are the only (as far as I know) variables in SWOS that matter to you:
- Match: each player acts according to the team's formation [1], to his
value in each skill [2], and to his natural position [3] (and to home
advantage?). By default you know each player's 1st 2nd and 3rd best
skills, and his price, that is correlated to the sum of the value of all
his skills [4] (also, if you play a player in position his price could
go up; if you don't play him, or play him off position, his price could
go down; his skill values don't change, though).
- Suspensions and injuries
- Bank:
When Money in Money out
Season begins Competition bonuses
Sponsorship*
Each week Gate receipts* General running costs**
Wages**
Player sales Player purchases
* Proportional to results
** Proportional to players' prices
You can buy and sell players all season long. Other teams always play
with the same XI and don't exchange players with each other.
[1] List of default formations:
4-4-2 = 4-1-3-2
5-4-1 = 5-1-3-1
4-5-1 = 4-1-4-1
5-3-2 = 3-2-3-2
3-5-2 = 3-2-3-2
4-3-3
4-2-4 = 4-2-3-1
3-4-3 = 3-1-3-3
4-4-2s = S-3-1-3-1 (AKA sweep)
5-2-3
3-2-5 = 3-2-3-2 (AKA attack)
6-3-1 = 6-2-1-1 (AKA defend)
All with RB and LB, and (the only exception being "defend") RW and LW
(as forwards if there are just 2 midfielders, otherwise as midfielders).
[2] List of skills: ball control, finishing inside the penalty box,
heading, passing, speed, tackling, shot velocity from outside the
penalty box. A player's value in each of these skills can be 0 to 7.
Goalkeepers only have a goalkeeping skill that can be 0 to 48; only
goalkeepers have this skill.
[3] List of positions: G, RB, D, LB, RW, M, LW, A.
[4] Price = Sum of skill points:
25K 1 (or 0) | 350K 17 | 1.80M 33

A. Aggie the Agnostic: doesn't want to change anything
[last match's XI]
B. Ben the Basic: only looks at skills
[XI based on: only players priced 30K or more,
- S + T + (C or H or P) = defender
- P + T + (C or S) = defensive midfielder
- P + (any combination of C, S, V) = attacking midfielder
- S + (F or V) + (C or H) = attacker
- S + F + V = attacker
]
D. Dan the Dazzled: only looks at prices
[XI based on price = playing a player priced 30K or more off position is
better than playing a player priced less than 30K on position; <30K
players are ranked in the following way 1) on trial > 2) formerly on
trial but now 5-25K > 3) 25K.]
F. Fred the Frugal: wants to save money
[XI based on price, but no player on trial]
N. Noah the Netter: thinks that it's all a matter of scoring and not
being scored against
[two attackers, then XI based on price]
O. Ollie the Opponent: only looks at opponents
[Stop as soon as the criterium is matched:
1. Playing home against a lower-placed team? XI based on price, but more
than 2 attackers.
Playing away against a higher-placed team? XI based on price, but 5
defenders.
2. Playing against 3 midfielders? XI based on price, but 3-5-2.
Playing against 3 defenders? XI based on price, but 4-3-3.
3. Playing against more than one speedy attacker? XI based on price, but
sweep.
4. XI based on price, but 4-4-2.]
P. Pat the Paranoid: is scared of injuries and suspensions
[Stop as soon as the criterium is matched:
1. Playing home against a lower-placed team? 3-4-3, then XI based on
price, but rest any knocked or booked player, and the three best players.
2. 3-4-3, then XI based on price, but no knocked or booked players.]
S. Scott the Scout: tries to find new talents
[XI based on price, but one more unknown-value player]
W. Will the Watcher: only looks at stats
[3-4-3, then XI based on Will score (players priced less than 30K only
if positive score)]
