Somebody Cares About What I Think....for now...

Check it out, I was quoted in the inaugural edition of the The Weekly Shearer. For those who care, FML is played on multiple "Gameworlds" limited to 1000 players each. The GW I play on is called Shearer, ergo, our weekly round-up The Weekly Shearer.

In anycase, below is the excerpt.

The Big Issue
This week’s big issue comes in the form of whether or not the UFFA is really worth joining.

It was Tim Bayliss who first raised the point that the UFFA Gameworld Cup wasn’t worth anything to him and posed more risk of injuries to his team which would spoil his chances in other competitions. His point was based on having 8 knock-out rounds with a £0 prize fund.

Tim said: ‘’It SHOULD have the biggest prize pot of all competitions..... Instead it has the least. Why.’’

The first reply came from none other than Mod God Richard Tebbutt. He argued ‘’ It has, however, probably the most PRESTIGE in the gameworld (except perhaps the Gold Cup) - You also get increased ranking points for winning UFFA games.’’, a point that everyone else seemed to know and agree to and have backed up comments from Nate De la Piedra, Paul Wallace, and Eric Davis.

However Scotty Watson did agree with the original point saying “Without money... there cannot be prestige! Would teams bother to take part in the Champions League if they got nothing from it?’’

But later after it all died down a final reminder to enter was sent out with the description:
'The Gameworld Cup.
A seasonal knockout cup that is open to all users in the Gameworld.
The Gameworld Cup winner can argue that it is he/she who is true master of the Gameworld.’

So... join or not, enjoy the game in which ever way you like, but the GW Paper sticks by UFFA as a great honour and something to been seen as huge without letting those winners walk away with a huge prize that helps them dominate everyone.
