Charazay can drink beer and drive

We aproach with great speed the 10th season. At this point the first generation of superstars will be 25, an age considered by many as "old". This is when Charazay reaches its maturity, it's like the 18th birthday for a person, from this point on, you can enjoy the interesting but also dangerous things in life.

From now on, all teams will have to balance skill and age, effectiveness and potential. Some teams started in advance doing that, like Dunk_erz and Novi Sad Ravens in Romania, and because of this they will dominate the internal and external fight for the next 2-3 seasons.

The challenge for every team is bigger than ever, of course it's easy to demolish everything and start with a new crop from 0, like Najpet did (they sold what was at that time the best team in charazay and started with only 15 year old players, the price being relegation untill div 3). But who will manage to keep enough impact players and also deal some potential in the depth of the squad will be the most succesfull managers in charazay. Another aspect is the fact that charazay will not be dominated by 10 teams at top level, but with every year, there will be 10 more..so next year 20, the one next after this 30 and so on.

Fun starts also for new users, you can get now heavy veterans with a decent amount of money. This can help new teams face even the most feared opponents. If we take into equation the fatigue factor, the combination is almost perfect. Blacksheeps can be beaten by any team higher than 2nd div in belgium, if they catch the Begium champions at the right time.

I get excited with what's going to happen even as i write these lines, drinking is fun, driving is too.. but who will manage to do them both and not mix them in a deadly way. That's the fun of having a mature game.

Futurology and betting

Anyone can predict the future in charazay, and mostly when it comes to international action. After 3 rounds, the WC still has its favourites unbeaten, Italy, Israel, Belgium, Poland, Spain, Lithuania, Canada, Romania they all have their matches. Still the interesting thing is that Germany is also unbeaten, maybe they are the spark that will lighten this World Cup and surprise everyone.

The IC started with round 0 also, and probably for the next 2 rounds few favourites will be defeteated.

If you think you're good with betting, please join me in this contest.
Anyone who reads this blog can play. You just have to say who will win the IC, and who will get in the top4, and also who will win the WC and who will get in the top4.

Short brake

I am leaving today for Nowy Sacz, city in Poland. And probably untill I install my new internet connection and get used with the new location it will take a while. Gonna get back with fresh articles and news.

Take care,

A bugless life

Every good thing becomes a bad one in gets too much. It's not the case now with Charazay, and especially it's not the case with being a stable bugless game. But you have to think about it, when the peacefull, cool atmosphere becomes... dull and boring.

I wish i had a volatile discussion with sniper or someone from the crew, i wished there was a bug which made me to say: "Oh my God, what are they doing, got to go on the forums and start a revolution". I wished training was tweaked, so i can check every day and eventually acuse the crew for my players being not trained. I wished some more dirty transfers were made, some more problems with the engine had apperead.. well.. some more hot news or events, being bugless sucks.

Thumbs up for danut and the new guy on the forums, they made think abit about the LH - average players per team indicator. I will have another post about that soon, but in the end... any time, any time now.. server crash maybe? (joke)

Nobody wants me

Hypothesis no.1:
Most of the users are gone in vacation, and they are checking charazay jsut to stay tunned to the scores and eventually any big changes. With the latest news it seems not nothing big will happen untill the end of the season, and people are safe to get away for a couple of weeks from their daily rutines, including computer and charazay.

Hypothesis no.2:
Prices are settling somewhere preatty high, as people are not open to get fewer money then what they spent a little time ago. They want now to get back as much as they can , but on the other side they are scheptical if aquiring new manpower. The problem is that everyone thinks the same, and they want to win big cash and spend money only on special occasions (bot players maybe).

Which one is it? Anyways.. it is a fact that the first 2 pages from the TL (sorted by skill index) have no bidds (except for a 65M trade in Croatia). Will the TL become more active as we aproach the end of the season?
