Don't.... if I'm gonna win via cheating... then...I might aa well not try...



















fuck it... cheat away!


Alrighty then! Even if this succeeds, all of your players will probably be eaten by laser pterodactyls and you'll have to forfeit your match against your non-existent opponent, but whatevsies.

I also go real time, with this nation (Free Republics goes a year between cycles). My players compete for the national team and play for their clubs between cycles.

I've been trying to work that out. So far what I have set is that the players are selected for the national team and receive a salary for playing. The clubs are also compensated for their time away.

Actually, it wasn't actually both hosts that time around, though bias possibility did ask for a third party (not saying anything bad about ASMV, as this would've applied to anyone). The only time this happened that I know of is World Cup 9, in which Ravenspire scorinated his/her lost against Europa Britannia.
