Lottery Pull Week
 
I figured I'd start this off with something that was posted at Kraftworks by DWetzel. It's perfect considering this week. I think Havok might find it particularly useful ;)

Quote:

Given the sorry state of my youth squad, I'm thinking of creating a form e-mail I can use to complain about it to send to the Hattrick developers every week. Suggestions and additions welcomed.

Quote:

"Dear Hattrick Developers,

I am very disappointed with the youth pull system in Hattrick. Despite my youth squad being rated as 'excellent' for ____ weeks now, I pulled another piece of crap that had to be fired for the ___th consecutive week. He was (circle one) 18/19/20/21/22/36 or more years old and his best skill was (circle one) wretched/poor/weak/excellent--but it was (circle all that apply) set pieces/stamina/passing. His assessed value was (circle one) 0/$1,000/$2,000/$3,000/almost enough to make me think he was worth something.


I would like to you take the following actions to rectify this injustice (check all that apply):

_____ Figure out how to make a more balanced youth pull system
_____ Deposit _____ dollars in my Hattrick account as compensation
_____ Deposit _____ real dollars in the mail to me at this address: ___________________________________________
_____ Print this letter on construction paper and lodge it in your esophagus.


If you do not take these actions, I will (check all that apply):

_____ Make my _____th whiny conference post this week to:
______ Global
______ My national conference
______ All the feds I am in
______ Other (specify) _____________________________
_____ Buy Swedish national team players and make sure they get at least ____ consecutive seasons of stamina training.
_____ Send nasty letters to the Swedish embassy
_____ Make my new Supporter logo that picture of Bjorn naked with
the polar bear. You know the one.

Sincerely,

Your Devoted Fan"

I wish I could take credit but I was just copying it here with permission from DWetzel, the author. He's who wrote it. But I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

I remember a while back they had problems with people buying up natty team players and then firing them so they made it impossible to fire natty team players. I'm guessing this is in the same ballpark. I wouldn't try it, that's for sure.

i have been pulling crap the whole season from my excellent squad, now that i think on the $20k spent per wek i wonder if i should have used it to buy another guy or to upgrade stadium.

My best pull also came a week before the season ended (solid playmaker, passable stamina/passing/defending, inad scoring/winger, 17 yo.). Currently an 18 (soon to be 19) yo high formidable playmaker.

anyone have any idea what he'd go for?

he'd easily take a slot as a starter in my lineup with the solid/passable forward skills.
