Cambridge United (a mid table div 3 side) signed two new zealand internationals this season who were based there, and i'm pretty sure that in CM4 Cambridge couldn't afford to send a letter to new zealand let alone a tour squad!

Yeah, so?

...and your reason for posting this, your first in LLM? You're not trying a bit of rabble rousing are you?

Read the Guidelines, it's all pretty clear there

hmm seems like i need to explain my logic...

i was questioning (a bit) the realism of SWYCT, clearly CUFC don't have the resources to tour new zealand but they seem to be able to scout there (i assume some scouting was involved but you never know!)

i ONLY play LLM (and have done since CM2 in about 1995 i think) and i am fully on board with the guidelines, was just trying to debate the realism (which seems to be the aim of the guidelines) of the SWYCT guideline.

Aye, and there's where you went wrong.

The Guidelines are just that, guidelines. Moreso the SWYCT one.

[history]The SWYCT Guideline started off as an answer to a question regarding where one sent one's scouts in LLM. I replied that I scouted where the game allowed me to tour, this was in CM3, and the guys liked it and it was adopted as a guideline for when guys asked.[/history]

It's not set in stone. If you think it's realistic to scout NZ, then do so. Guys will say there's many ways players can advertise their availability, but the Zealots say only use the facilities available in CM.

That's the way I play, and many others, but others may use the SYB or their own idea of realism.

Fair play to them.

...if they advertise dodgy dealings in here, though woe betide them

This has been discussed a lot during the last few weeks. Do a search, you're sure to find something to answer your questions.

Generally, you shouldn't give a flying shit what the AI teams do, where they sign their players from etc. They don't have guidelines as we do. If the game is pushing it, this doesn't justify your doing so.
