Shoots demands trade

The ongoing saga on cyberdunk (www.cyberdunk.com?ref=427074) continues...








Shamskie Shoots has been on a tear in Denmark League 7. As a rookie, he is averaging almost a double-double and in his debut was 1 steal short of a strange triple-double. Shoots helps out on both ends of the floor averaging 19.7 points, 9.4 boards, 3.4 assists, and 2.9 steals a game.










So the question is, why not more playing time? His conditioning should allow him to play 48 minutes and there are some games he's only in there for half the time. Last game he was on fire from 3 point range, shooting at a blistering 66% (8 for 12) and yet he was still pulled from the floor for a quarter and a half.











Look how happy and motivated he was.

















On this non-contender, all Shoots has to look forward to is statistical excellence and trade possibilities to a team that will play him.










Luckily, future owner, madphoenix, has his eye on this sharpshooting kid from Denmark. Madphoenix is set to buy a team this month and will give Shoots all the playing time he wants to prove himself. This will be a complete turnaround in philosophy Shoots' current team has, which is to bring up the rookies slowly.

focusdep: feb update

focusdep seems like it is still in beta mode as many of the menu options don't work

I did find one thing though:

If you're too lazy to have a quote of the day, you can just use the one from focusdep. Just copy their code and it will look exactly like below this line:

I was playing it safe for betting, but one of my friends referred me to this forum thread:

http://www.talkdep.com/showthread.php?t=12236&highlight=gambling

Basically, if you play it safe and grab any of the 5.3-5.7:1.3 odds games, you're probably good to go for your 1.3x payout. This thread has a few people scouring the games finding games that are 3.x to 4.x odds that have a reasonable chance of winning. It could be because there's a glitch in the system that keeps team ratings high even after their best players sign on with another team. It could also be the difference between a computer and a human manager.

So, spreading the 35000 you can bet among 3-4 of these bets, increases the odds of the payout.

I recently looked and cyberdunk looks like they might be revising the system. We'll see in a few days what happens, but everything is at 1.3:1.3 odds.

Yan has baby

Cyberdunk now allows each account 2 free players to manage.

So Yan Can Slam has given birth to Shamskie Shoots and has passed on all his knowledge to him.

There seemed to be very little benefit to be ok at everything, so Shoots does just one thing, shoot. I started by throwing everything in jumping, shooting, and stealing. In a week he'll be at 65 3-point shooting and dominating Denmark division 7.

Really, I have no idea how well this kind of training works, but at least he's getting playing time in the minors. Already he's been Man of the Match twice and is probably the biggest contributor on the team. Meanwhile Yan is still stuck on the bench in the Chinese Premier league.

Any other advice? Well, you might as well get two players since you can now bet 35000 each and make an almost guaranteed 21000 (10500 x 2) every day games are played.

Talking about talkdep.com

www.talkdep.com is pretty straightforward as it is just a forum for people to talk about cyberdunk.com.

Not sure what to blog about here but I found this thread an interesting read:

Some insight on how people get minutes. I might want to change my play style from playing hard to playing normal or relaxed just to keep my stamina up? Either that or train stamina.

In Focus: focusdep.com

Ok, so admittedly this blog is setup just to get cyberpoints on cyberdunk.com. But in order to write anything that makes sense, I actually had to visit these sites.

First up is www.focusdep.com.

I want to say that it's a site dedicated for people to waste time. It's got:

1. Popular pictures - Jessica Alba is #1, so that gets a thumbs up from me.
2. Popular authors - Nicole Richie is #1, so thumb down there. If you click on a name it brings up a profile and some quotes. It's like imdb.com for authors, kind of. Speaking of which, they really need imdb.com for everything. I guess that's wikipedia.
3. Famous birthdays - to take over Extra's duties
4. Quote of the day - "There is no room in the world, as you say, for second rate work. - Gerald Finzi"

Well, I wasted 5 minutes of time there.

Cyberdunk Month II for Yan

It's month two for Yan Can Slam and here are some updates:

Our leading score, Kobe, left for a different team along with some of our other key players, so we are in full on rebuilding mode. So, being a young 7-0 PF, I should get some play time right? Nope, the computer manager has taken Yan how out his natural position and put him at C.

Centers			value
C		Ido E. Singer II	22.6
C		Robban Nilsson	18.2
C		Can Slam Yan	19.8
Power Forwards			value
PF		Borsislav Krasic	18.8

The team only has 1 PF at 18.8. Why is Yan not starting for this team? He could at least give Krasic a blow every now and then. What's more infuriating is that Nilsson is getting 20+ minutes a game and he's rated 1.6 points lower. The only explanations are that the team favors offensive skills or the computer GM is buggy.

Yan demands a trade!
