History of the Populace

Taking a look at a man who accomplished 1500 posts this week, it’s time to read about thegreatest2’s Odyssey! A very respected forum admin compiled his PS life in the form of a parody (As you’ll see in the SOTW section, I just love them).

My Odyssey

“My journey through the lands of power soccer is singularly strange. Why? Let me give you a clue. It is not original. It is very similar to a journey undertaken in the far, far past. I’ll see if you can figure out who’s…”

“In my second game my opponent told me to press alt F4. Thinking it was some sort of gift I did so. The game window crashed. I screamed and left the game. Nearly.”

“Without much excitement I reached level 15 in my quest to get to 99. Then it was that I met the angry giant. Ok the level 55 cheater. He ate up some of my friends (caused them to leave the game) and kept me prisoner in awe of his great bug goals.”

“I only managed to escape by a clever ruse (reporting him to the admins).”

“Sailing forward at mighty speed (ok actually a snail’s pace) I nearly was trapped by the sirens (radicalguy44 and timcahill). they were within a hairs breath of persuading me to join CSXI from which never more would I have been seen. I was saved by tying myself to the sinking ship called Best Friends 4 Life. the other members blocked their ears seemed to go into some form of trance from which they never recovered.”

“I managed to have my rubbish FA application accepted by the mighty beings.”

“I met an old goatherd (footmad) who told me his life story. And then…. what?”

“When I do [Reach 99] so I can expect to meat a host of angry hackers all trying to steal my account there. But what can be expected? I will beat them all in the game and humiliate them before banning them forever.”

Stars of the Week (past two weeks)!

Some of you doubted we could ever revive, but we have, and we are strong. Be awed by the might of the stars! Here are the thread links and descriptions that some of you might have seen in the News, detailed by me. It’s important to note that I am not the President (like the news piece unjustly shows), but merely the Vice President, with Flex210 holding the power.

Sexy Football by planxty
Planxty, without writing a 1000 page novel, made his point clear. It matters how you win, not if you win. Playing ugly and winning isn´t equal to playing sexily and tying or perhaps losing.

My Keys to Success by khizar3
Khizar detailed what has worked for him over his career, and along the way makes points we should all consider.

What really happened in the Battle of Troy by eindhatre_marx
We´ve got a soft spot for parodies, and this was an excellent one. While perhaps not the longest, its ingenuity makes it worth much more.

Be Less Competitive-Show More Sportsmanship by drogba921
Granted, it´s a topic that has been discussed a lot in the past, but drogba put a twist on it by relating in his personal experience as all great writers do.

Power Soccer News

World Tour, the next round of league has been released! The cruise is in your computer, and it’s soccer oriented. But, like all cruises, it’s on the costly side. Twenty tokens for non-members and 10 for club members.

Biggest games that went on this weekend in Match Day.

Palermo vs. Catania

Both coaches about to lose their jobs, if PS was real life it would seem Palermo’s coach will keep his job, and Catania’s will not.

Beşiktaş vs. Fenerbahçe

Both teams with high hopes this season, Fernabhçe leads the game and is above in the tables. Only you can turn it around.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City(Finished)

In real life, the game ended 2-2 with Torres sitting on the bench. In Power Soccer, the game was won as well.  Liverpool’s fans proved the mightier and brought home three points.

Many of you will be aware of the controversy of what has happened over night, with the handball by Thierry Henry to set up a France goal, giving them an entry to the world cup. For those who haven’t: enjoy.

It has sparked instant debate about what was the was the right thing to do, should he have told the referee that it was a hand ball, or did he do the right thing given the circumstances (world cup qualifier). In this article, I will explore both sides of the argument I will be interested to hear your thoughts in the comment thread.

There are many people (most of whom are Irish) who believe Henry should have told the referee it was a hand ball and that he is a cheater. They say that the first hand ball may well be reflex, but the second definitely wasn’t. They are calling on the introduction of video replays, which I agree in. There are a few blaming FIFA and their officials because they believe they wanted the top sides to go through to the World Cup. They

There are also many people who are saying Henry did the right thing. Given the circumstances, they argue, (a World Cup qualifier), who would tell the ref that they had touched the ball with their hand? They argue that if FIFA wanted to fix the match, they would have given France the penalty the players were appealing for just minutes before.

And now for my opinion. I believe Henry did cheat, by purposely keeping the ball in play. Even though the referee did not call the handball, I still do not blame him because he was probably obscured by a player. There will not be a rematch as the Irish are demanding, and I believe it is the correct decision as if there was a rematch, there would be an appeal for a rematch every time a referee didn’t get all of the calls correct. What this does call for in my opinion is video replays. They are already being used to great effect in Tennis, Cricket and Rugby, so why shouldn’t soccer be the next sport to use them?

I will be interested to hear your thoughts on an issue which will be remembered for years to come.

History of the Populace

It’s flex210’s turn! Think you know somebody’s history that deserves to be here? Email pseweeklyrecap@gmail.com with a link to the thread and that user will have a high chance of being on next week. One of the greatest gifts you can give.

How Powerchallenge Revolved Around Him.

“The game started to what should have been a boredom killer, and ended as a way of life.”

“September, 2007. The game desolate compared to now-a-days. A young biggy0003 entered his first online chat room, one of which filled with enthused and some over-exuberant chatter boxes.”

“When I set out to my first match, a user named bayarea obliged. The game was awesome. It ended in a 2-1 victory for I and gave me all the confidence in the world.”

“All I wanted to do was play, and maybe that naive thought should be a core value taught to all in this game now. A few minutes here, a couple hours there, it was soon discovered that this game would become more then a boredom buster.”

“Expert cups were the ‘in’ thing. Every night, I logged on just to play this 2 hour action packed tournament.”

“As I leveled, I gradually won more rounds a night in the cups. Although the cup was dominated by the almighty FA lenar, everyone had fun. Lenar at the time was around level 64. (I was around mid 20’s) As I slowly caught on to the playing style needed to keep up with the greats, I realized that my rp (740 rp at level 42) was not going to cut it.”

“Level by level opponent by opponent, I grew deeper attached to this game we know of today. As I looked around, I found that adminship would be a good way to help out on my way to greatness.”

“I applied and with kutex and leedo’s approval (MAs of NA at the time) I was one of the VERY few admins. There were 30 of us (including MAs, FAs, translators, reporters(which didn’t exist at the time)).”

“Although not a private time, it was good when everybody knew everybody. It gave you that good ol’ fashion homely feeling. At the time, greats such as sipwell, bigdaddy, dain, gentle_man were not even admins. “

“As one of the few admins in North America, I grew especially close with a fellow you may know as kishan178. We continuously pushed each other to grow and become better at the game. We held a race. Who could be the first North American 99er? I grew a substantial lead of 11 levels. Me- 88 Him- 77. “

“Other North Americans tried to compete but proved to be weak when it got down to the nitty gritty. Now I’m guessing you’re wondering, kishan178 was the first 99er, how on earth did he beat you?”

“Well, I gave up! He hacked me! He had a level cheat! There you go, those are the answers, and you may come up with your own conclusions ;) Kidding aside, other situations came to hand, that of life and ps. Either way, kishan178 proved to be victorious. I did set some records not to be messed with I might add!: First American to levels: 70 and 80. Most real rp (2413) 1st American to be nationally ranked #1, and 3rd longest ranked #1 in NA. “

“His name—whom which you might know—sipwell was born. Maybe this supposed youngling found, was the one whom found the forums? Either way, the days of spamming goodness boomed”

“People met, people argued, people laughed.”

“When the crew realized that the forums had become such a hit, they released a post counter and a top ten posters list. I at the time was ranked 10th (1st among Americans) and at my greatest height reached 4th.”

“Over two years have gone by when I first found this game. I could go on forever with the never ending stories which may or may not put you to sleep. But let’s not put that to chance. Just when you’re thinking that you’ve been here at this ant-like community for a long time, look at a oldie like me.  ;)

Power Soccer News

What could be the news? Perhaps the newest gameplay release!! The base values remain the same but drastic changes have been made:

  • Game balance tweaked and optimized
  • General slowdown of match pace to make gameplay more realistic
  • More realistic design and animation
  • Improved passing and shooting
  • Effects of latency reduced

To me, the last seems the most important. Less lag to ruin our days.

Still have some complaints? Check out here first before bringing it up.

To celebrate two cups were released Saturday and Sunday, not to mention half price goal gestures, for a limited time only!

A question which I’m sure has occurred to many people is: why are there so few females on Power Soccer?  How is it that this game is 96% male and 4% female and that finding a female who you can have a quality conversation with (in a language you speak) is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack?

Well here are my thoughts on the subject:

You’re all thinking of the obvious reason of football being a more male dominated sport and that sport in general is male dominated too. Well, yes it’s true, however this doesn’t mean that plenty of girls don’t play the sport too so the percentage of 96 to 4 seems a bit extreme and not compatible for this argument.

When it comes to online gaming the stats are around 50/50 between males and females so yes both genders are represented equally are you surprised?

However the 50/50 stats include ALL online games not just football sites.  Games that are more pointed towards females and games that are made for both genders are also included.

So I decided to look into this further.  By doing this I sent around emails to many different soccer sites (Such as Football Superstars and Hatrick) asking them to send me the statistics of female vs male participation on their sites and most of them replied telling me how the percentage of females was on average 5 %.

But to my surprise most of them pointed out something that I had noticed around power-soccer too and that was that many girls registered as males on the site and so for this reason the percentage was probably a lot bigger though statistically this wasn’t noted.

So why do females register as males?  Is one of the reasons why football sites have a low female percentage because the females disguise themselves as males? And if so, why do they do this?

The answer to this question was voiced by a representative from one of the sites saying that: “I’m not too sure why.  Perhaps it’s an idea they have that their opinions on a football game wouldn’t be seen as valid if not male.”

So there you go is this the reason of male domination on football sites because of the male attitude?  Because males don’t take females seriously when it comes to soccer?  Are males unintentionally prejudiced?

And is this the only reason females don’t own up to their gender maybe its also because of flirting, vulgar private messages, marriage proposals (nope, I’m not kidding) and being subjected to the mentality of female versus male or slightly misogynistic attitudes.

A female I met on this game who chose a name which could be perceived as male or female, told me she had made this new account to get away from it all and that it was so much easier to sail through power soccer with a multi gender name (as people naturally assumed you were male) then suffering from the trials of being female.

So don’t go into a match and naturally assume you’re playing a male.  Don’t see a female who chose a feminine username and naturally assume she’s one of a kind or part of a nearly extinct species.  More females would own up to their gender if they felt comfortable and included around the site.  If they weren’t so intimidated and felt they wouldn’t be respected or that they would be prejudiced against maybe they would comment more in the forums.

So there you go, after a week of research these are the results I’ve come up with.  But remember that this is only part of the factor of why girls are not more represented on this site.  Other factors include that some girls don’t like football, some girls don’t like the gameplay and some are just not that interested.

To round it all up, one question comes to mind.  Just how many girls are here playing this game as males?? Yep scary thought, huh?  :P

Please note: soccer is referred to as football in this thread because this was the original name given to the sport and this is what it would have been called in 1863)

What happened in the year of 1863?

The American civil war was ongoing, King Frederick VII of Denmark died and the first section of the London Underground Railway was opened. All true and interesting but not the answer I was looking for. The answer I was looking for was the establishment of the Football Association.

The football Association first met on the 26th October 1863 in the “Freemason’s Tavern” in London. But who are the football association?

The football association (F.A.) are the ruling body of football in England. They control the premier league and have the final say on new rules, bans and other major decisions. They were one of the founding members of UEFA and FIFA but ultimately they were the start of football as we now know it. They created the oldest tournament in existence: The F.A. Cup as well as starting the first ever football league. There were 12 different clubs present at the first ever meeting, they discussed how to make the game work better and decided on these basic features of the game:

  • The size of the pitch.
  • The coin flip at the start of the match.
  • After a side has scored the 2 teams swap ends and the conceding team kicks off again.
  • A goal is when the ball passes between the goal posts at any height. (There were no cross bars in the early game).
  • The “Throw-in” rule.
  • An early version of the “offside” rule.
  • Instead of a corner, a free kick would be taken 15 yards outside the goal line.
  • If a player makes a fair catch, he will be entitled to a free kick.
  • Picking up the ball and running with it is banned.
  • No hacking, holding, tripping or pushing the opponent.
  • Players are not allowed to use their hands to pick up the ball (unless it is out of play).
  • Players can’t wear nails or Iron plates on the soles of their boots.

Shortly after this, some of the clubs broke away to play rugby in preference to football (Soccer), the F.A. then proceeded to change the rules even more and over the next century the game devloped into the amazing thing we have today. Back on Powersoccer, it seems that the same thing is occuring. In the 1 year and a bit I have been on this site, it has been constantly changing. Many of these changes have caused people to disagree with the crew, quit the game and simply not enjoy powersoccer anymore. However, given time, football/soccer has developed into a huge sport and in the same way so has powersoccer.

The only diffrenece is that football soccer has taken more than 100 years to develop whereas Powersoccer has taken less than 5 years, so does this mean that Powersoccer is actually better than real world football? I’ll leave you to decide that.

Thanks for reading all that,

Due to the release of the new dynamic and amazing game play, I believe it is time for a poll to see where everybody stands. While some people are grumbling, which always happens with new releases, compared to other releases this one has received remarkably good user reviews. Vote and let us see what everybody thinks!

Numbers are a very important part of Powersoccer, more than most people would expect, so I’ve been on a hunt for the most important numbers all over the site to talk about Powersoccer in numbers:

25 crew members - found via the forum thread: “This is the crew”

79 chatrooms - I’d expect that the average user only goes in one or two different chatrooms at a time. However, every time you choose a room, you actually have a choice of 79 different places to go!

103 stars on a completed rookie career mode – It is a tough amount to reach but it is possible is all I have to say on this one.

256 people in the largest cup possible – Every so often there is an attempt at this but there has never been a complete 256 player cup. You know what they say though: “There is a First for Everything”. Maybe you could be the person who creates the cup.

260 fanzones in total – Plenty of choice for you to a favuorite club to support and win fan points for, ultimately moving your fan zone up the virtual table.

1674 rank points belonging to the world’s top clan – Alexander The Great have amassed this amount of rank points placing them at the top of the clan leaderboard.

2627 rank points belonging to the world’s top player - pily-_-cob with the team “Children of Bhaal” is responsible for this huge pile of rank points for just one user.

44262 topics in the public forums – Right from the very first day, the forums have been a key feature in Powersoccer. As a result there are a huge amount of different topics in the forums.

48510 experince points to become a level 99 - A number that always has been, is, and always will be a key number on Powersoccer.

78723 clans on Powersoccer - Clans have been an official feature on Powersoccer for a year on Thursday and in that time, the idea of clans appears to have been accepted with a resounding “YES!”

181851 rank points belonging to the world’s top country – Poland take this honour, the number itself is the sum of the rank points belonging to the top 100 players in the country.

206560 fan points the leading user has in the race to 500000 fan points – Currently leading is Rogerfedererscat of Germany. seems like a massive amount but he is not even half way there yet!

352883 posts in the public forums - This number simply shows that Powersoccer would just not have been the same if the forums were not here.

38382256 fanpoints belonging to leading fanzone – The fanzone that has this amount of points are the usual suspects: Manchester United, that all could change with time though. However, this figure rises incredibly fast that it had rose by 10000 in the time it took me to do this post.

Hope you enjoyed this different approach, but also that you take more notice of the numbers on your screen that most people so often ignore, they often mean a lot more than what you think at first sight.

Thanks for reading all that,

ShaPhi7 ~ PRA

All numbers were correct at time of collecting (approximately 9/11/09 19:00 CET)
