This account was summarily blocked because it was suspected to be a sockpuppet of the blocked user User:Magpiemen, suspicions which you have confirmed to be true. Using and abusing multiple accounts to circumvent blocks is not acceptable, please read the policy at Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry.

I am not inclined to unblock this account or User:Magpiemen. You will have to ask another admin to do so, by placing the template {{unblock|your reason here}} below, and another admin should stop by shortly to review your case. They will review my actions, and may choose to maintain the indefinite block, reduce its length, or perhaps unblock immediately.

On your other account User:Magpiemen, you have shown a pattern of repeatedly modifying other editors' posts (especially warning messages) on your talk page. Such conduct is unacceptable, and a violation of policy (see Wikipedia:Vandalism#Types of vandalism). I expect you not to modify my comments here in any way. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 16:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: I have also replied in more detail about the block on User talk:Magpiemen#Indefinite Block. --Seattle Skier (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Once again, if you wish to use this account for constructive edits, please post the following text below: {{unblock|your reason here}}, and replace the words "your reason here" with an explanation of why that account should be unblocked. Another admin will then visit the page and may unblock you. I would prefer to not to unblock you myself, because involving another admin serves as a check and review of my actions, and that's a good thing. --Seattle Skier (talk) 00:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Footy Fanatic FX

Footy Fanatic FX is a freeware game created by Matt Bretag. Matt Bretag has also created two other games, Footy Fanatic Atomic Edition 2.0 and Footy Fanatic. It is a popular hit with users on the website www.bigfooty.com, as it is very comprehensive and thorough with its statistical range.

[edit] History

Footy Fanatic was created in 2001, using the 2001 Australian Rules Football team lists. The game did not take off as was expected by author Matt Bretag, so he continued to make improvements to the game. The game was in desperate need of a speed up of simulated games, as they took up to 5 minutes to load. The original Footy Fanatic was in desperate need of a clrean up, but had plenty of features not included in later versions, including a tipping/ gambling option.

In 2002, Bretag again created a new version of Footy Fanatic, and named this version Footy Fanatic Atomic Edition 2.0. The version had had a clean up of the management screens, plus a new start up screen. The version was lauded by users of www.bigfooty.com as a success, and the users were awaiting newer versions of the game being introduced.

The game turned out to be a such a cult hit that on www.bigfooty.com, there was hundreds of stories posted about gaming experiences with the game, as gamers wrote stories based on their gaming experiences. However, there was a lean set of years from 2002 onwards, were users became increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress made by the game author on the game, and the bugs that were found by delving into the game.

In 2007 Footy Fanatic FX was realeased based on the 2007 playing lists. The new game had many improved features, including a new start up engine, and the option to let your team train to improve player skills. The game has been a cult hit. The improved game engine has aided www.bigfooty.com

[edit] Game

The game is based on the Australian Football League. The aim of the game is to take an AFL team to the premiership by coaching, and managing, the playing squad of your chosen team. For more information on the Australian Football League. click the link.

The game provides you the options to draft, trade and delist players.

[edit] Your Tarkyn Lockyer Edits

G'day Tarkyn 24, I recoginise your name from bigfooty, yes I am the ThePope on there (or something similar, I never remember if I have a space, dash or nothing in my user names on various forums!). Welcome back to wiki, hope you can help out, but try to tone down your POV a bit - and most importantly, find references to back your comments up. This isn't bigfooty, we aren't interested in your point of view, but if Sheahan/Malthouse/Walls/the work experience kid at afl.com.au etc have said so, then that is valid. Tough to understand at first, but you'll get used to it. See what I added, Connolly's opinion is valid... mine or yours isn't! Also, sign your posts on talk pages with the four ~s.
