Is this an accepted LLM behaviour?

If anybody thinks my post was rude: it was.

If anybody thinks my post was "inappropriate and had that foul stench of sycophancy" all I have to say to that it was that it was a more verbose version of "RTFFH" in its absence.

Seriously, most of the post count in this forum is telling people that this is the way we play, and if you don't play that way, we're not bothered.

No offense, wizzle. I guess having been absent for quite a while helped me develop a more zen approach. Give me a few weeks of regular reading and I'll probably be as ****ed off and rude as anybody.

In the absence of the header, and to clear it up for the hard of thinking:

If you are playing LLM, you can only sign a player if your scout has recommended him (and only if he has found the player in question from scouting a country which you border or can tour in, or if you have specifically asked the scout to look at him after they have played against you).

If you are not playing LLM (and this means if you are doing transfers in any other way than the above) - we don't want to know how you play your game. Go to another, less zealot-like forum.

And for the love of God, don't continually justify yourself. We don't give a $hit.

What about if you assign your scout to scout a specific club and he recommends that player? Isn't that also acceptable?

Yes, but dubious IMO.

Can't think of a valid reason to scout a club specifically unless they are an upcoming opponent.

Not sure about that mkus. If you were doing well in a division and saw a team streaking ahead in the division below you, I could see merit in scouting them to see why they are doing so well.

seems to me alot of people are looking for "bugs" and "gaps" in the LLM rules to abuse ;P

Phenomenal insight there, Azmodai

I'm sure there are those in this thread whose intentions aren't all innocent.

What about scouting a club that is in the same city/area as your club? Doesn't clubs that are very close to each other loan players more easily since the players are less reluctant to go on loan because they don't have to change houses.

Another example is with Wrexham and Liverpool. The reserves of Liverpool FC play at Wrexham's stadium so I guess the Wrexham manager can easily scout them. 1 month after the decision of the reserves to play at Wrexham then Wrexham signed a player from the Liverpool reserves on loan.

This is something that hopefully the game will recognise in future - particularly at LL level players are more likely to stay in one area, especially if they are part-time.

Is this an accepted LLM behaviour?

Football Manager 2008 has a database compromising of tens of thousands of players.
