I agree.

I had already written down the following rule for a fixed version of
the game:
"The score of each player will be how much (in %) that skill amounts
to his total value. Formula: value_in_that_skill /
sum_of_values_in_all_skills * 100"
But I happily accept your suggestion. I'm about to open the thread.

These are indeed the final rankings. Congratulations to Daniele and
Jesus! You've beaten a though competition indeed. Isn't it nice to
have one more entry in the hall of fame?

Another great game. I had a lot of fun following it, and my only
disappointment was not seeing a Dirtiness team! =)

(I know, if I wanted to see any particular team, I should have submitted my
own. But I'm under serious time constraints since the World Cup ended).


Abra�o,

Sorry that I have to tell it, but Brazil have already appointed a new
coach.

....You have now a lot of free time, I guess?

What are you talking about? My work has just begun.

It's not just about building a team, you know. There are also all those
stadia, and airports, and only 3 years to pull it off!

Which reminds me that I have to go!

Abra�o,
