Haters gonna hate
Good evening DenieD Elton Johns Wig Jabba73 and Pickitt
The generally recognised laws of statistics would indicate that every SFA team should fairly expect to participate in a grand final once every 6.5 seasons, and win a premiership once every 13 seasons (which has recently increased from 6 & 12 seasons respectively). Factoring in a two standard deviation variance, this would extend to a grand final appearance approximately every 5-8 seasons and a premiership every 10-16 seasons. If you were elected as the next Administrator, what would you do ensure that this is achieved?
I will not look favourably towards any pisstake answers, and no I am not a crackpot.
Given the Sim is random, expecting something even somewhere close to the average is a pipe dream and should be actively discouraged.
The chance of a coin toss being a head is about 50% so if there has been 376 tails in a row, unfortunately there is still only a 50% chance of the next toss being a head. That is how probability works. Missing finals for 20 seasons in a row gives you no greater chance of playing finals the following season.
There is absolutely zero that an incoming Admin can do to change it. Sorry to disappoint you.
Looks like we're down to the other 2 candidates then Tonga Bob. One of them will take the brown paper bag, surely?As Jabba73 said, it's a random Sim, reminds me a bit of when apples shuffle play had to be altered as people were complaining it was completely random and would just repeat songs sometimes.
Nothing can be done that doesn't alter the Sims credibility
It was certainly news to me. Then I changed the channel and got on with my life.Expectation: rigorous debate and in-depth analysis on the pros and cons of each admin candidate with a diversity of view points.
Reality: * inside the LG PM * “hey guys, so apparently there’s an admin election going on”
Don't know how you arrive at that conclusion, people have had six weeks to consider their preferences. It's a bit comical that some clubs are dragging it out to the last moment.
You're right, I was looking at date of the start of the thread. It feels like it's been discussed forever, which it kind of has. Regardless, it shouldn't take weeks of discussion for a LG to decide. Btw, pretty sure we knew who was running before two weeks ago even if it wasn't official.The nominations haven’t been out for six weeks mate. October 16th was 2 weeks ago.
Give the Bears a break. They haven't interviewed the 2IC candidates yet.I was going by thread date but regardless

How many pages is your PM up to?That means we had 6 days to discuss the admin vote.
Once again you're making the assumption that we have or haven't done something based upon zero knowledge. Go back to hibernating please.As said before—- members of the Bears LG took breaks for bye week.

Just because your club is blindly voting for your team mate doesn’t mean that others aren’t respecting this process and actually discussing this in depth.

Have a drink, grumpyYou thought the admin candidates were announced six weeks ago rook.
Come back when you actually understand the league mate.
"abstain" - clarkemIt was certainly news to me. Then I changed the channel and got on with my life.
I’m not sun-voting for a vote in something I couldn’t care less in. I’ll leave it to the rest of you folk who are as so invested in the admin race every 9 months it comes up."abstain" - clarkem
Not voting is an abstain on the competition."abstain" - clarkem
You don’t need to fix the old stick in the mud, sometimes you know you are doing things right when people like Senor M get all riled up and start to complain.Candidates, how will you fix people like grumpy old sods like Senor M under your reign
