Euro pickup

There was a bug in the dbpickup bot for about half a day which displayed odd numbers behind ur name.

These were assumed to be the ratings, but DavidM later claimed: "I have no idea what they are for."
Whether this was a communication error between goldy and davidm is unknown still ;p

Also u can just guess what u are, for example when ur in a team with lots of good players (especially those on the same position as you)..than u are most probably a n00b (kind of) :p (to even things out

).

Its too easy to tell, if a unrated attacker comes in with 3 rated attackers, if he goes with you, you're the highest out of them 3 attackers.

bringin noobs into the pickups is fine and dandy, the only time i tend to remove from a pickup or move to defence from attack is when you know your gonna b partnered with a wall whoring selfish cant pass for toffee arsemunch , aka Morning*Star , or Triple_B :p

already said that the very same day that bug occured:

these numbers were some random values that were used by the bot to make multiple combinations with the same players possible. Otherwise same players (or just a few replaced by others with about same rating) would result in exactly the same teams. the pickup bot behaved oddly when i tested those, so i added that numbers to the nick to easily check what went wrong there. just forgot to remove that number again when i reuploaded the script.

and just btw, those number didn't even have the same format as the ratings, as those are split up into 3 values (keep, def and att).

no ratings have been published yet, and they never will be. if you hear someone saying he knows his rating, he either lies or guesses

noobs are always welcome, if they are willing to learn, and don't think they are perfect already and moan about everyone else -.-

I recall the pickup you're talking about Fallen.. I also recall that it was very one sided.
