Nightwatchmen

    I'm getting really, really, really sick of people not reading the Round 1 thread properly and me having to answer the same question 100,000 times, so I'm creating a special thread devoted to it.

    For those who don't know what a nightwatchman is at all, read this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwatchman_(cricket)

    BS games, ALC games etc are simmed manually by me with me doing the bowling changes, selecting the next batsman etc myself. Now, because there are so many of them, and to increase simming rates for this competition, these games are being simmed automatically.. which means I'm just picking the teams, pressing sim and looking at the scorecard.

    Auto-simming has it faults though. Whilst I can set the batting order before the game (and do so), the simulator uses a nightwatchman when a wicket falls just before the end of the day's play, resulting in a bowler being shunted up the order and everyone moving down one.

    Now that I've explained this (a thousand times, tbh), I don't want to see any questions about it. If I see one, I'll give it a 1-point spam infraction. If you do it deliberately to be funny, it'll be worth 6 points for ignoring admin instructions. This means you, Choco and Boobidy.

    Oh, and while I'm at it, the scorecard gets linkowned when Choco takes wicket... b Man becomes <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=268"style="color: #000000" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=268"style="color: #000000" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=268"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">B Man</a></a></a>. Don't ask me about that either.

    I would do it if I wasn't on 9 points. Nut I don't think I could handle the shock of being without CricSim for a day.

    *testing* <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=268"style="color: #000000" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=268"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">B Man</a></a>

    Edit: How the feck does Cribb type B Man?

    Cribb typed it without being link0wned.
     
  7. Freddy MJ Johns

    You got me too quick, I was gonna edit it and delink it. I assume that's what he did.
     
  8. Lordeman JA Robertson

    Just put two spaces.
     
  9. AVA T Delonge

    Cribb didn't do that though. :p
     
  10. Andato BJT Manera

    Yes he does. The post just removes the extra spaces.

    b man
     
  11. Freddy MJ Johns

    Maybe he changed the font.
     
  12. AVA T Delonge

    Well my mind = blown then.

    Yes he did. If there's multiple spaces in a row, it displays as only one, but I guess the link thingo doesn't pick it up.

    Manera b Man 0(1)

  15. Farny AP Farnsworth

    I should be our nightwatchman, tbh.
     
  16. Colesy BL Hornby

    Why dont you do nightwatchmen in BS and ALC games?
     
  17. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Would add a bit of life likeness to it
     
  18. Colesy BL Hornby

    Yeah, AWTCA
     
  19. Incey BC Jacobs

    If Choco didnt take so many wicket this 'b Man' business wouldnt be a hassle. ****ing Choco.
     
  20. Colesy BL Hornby
