Yep... you can try www.duckduckgo.com though. It's basically google minus the "Big Brother" stuff. :)

Google is also free.

Exactly. And for more free service delivery, they automatedly gather infos of your web behavior and other stuff to deliver personalised adverts to you. But it's not like google employees sit there all day, sniffing through your personal data (imagine they would do that for everyone visiting the web), it's all automated by software. Google basically makes money by their business partners adverts. That's all the magic. Another thing is collecting infos about wireless access points, routers and stuff while they did their Google Streetview trips. This has been done for their location system, which should be an alternative to GPS location system.

Take Google Android for instance, without Google being paid for adverts and stuff, it wouldn't be free. People usually are like "Heh ok, i take the mail account google offers me for free and take Android OS on my mobile phone for free" and then they're like "Huh , i'm getting spied on!"  when google uses their (mostly not so obvious) practices to get the cash in for delivering them their free services. Nothing in the world is for free, everything has its price, and for using google you gonna have to pay the price of a loss of privacy (which is kind of a sham, coz you only get spied on by bots). :)

Edit: Btw, Facebook is exactly the same thing as Google, it's just that noone complains about it.

400 games a Season is still good amongst the hardcore followers and I think that is special enough for it to remain like that, imo it's still active until it drops below 100 games...

Imagine 100 games per season, and imagine approximately 20-30 players playing those 100 games. Then you can calculate what it would take to reach po's. Even 400 games is very, very few...

The new system suggestion seems too complicated tbh. Why not keep it simple and successful - like as it is right now.

Hm, the variety of schemes is what makes this game and playing leagues interesting to me... it would bore me to death to play one scheme 24/7. :P

If I were a player who didn't trust my chances against X player I'd pick hysteria, because the gamble is better than the loss.

True point, didn't think of that. :)

Justin  Bieber is by far the most viewed person on YouTube. You we're saying...?

People don't pick Bieber for gaining points tho. ;) Seriously, that statistic doesn't really say much. Only someone who doesn't want to progress in the standings picks his favourite schemes.

Any TUS classic scheme: You get rewarded for controlling the game in the end. Hysteria: You get punished for your control of the game by getting telepwned. :P Plus the usual endless "I hide on the side bottom of the map and try to kill you with 1 out of 100 lucky zook hits". As Twistah says, this scheme has no place in the classic league. It almost makes me believe that it's only there because of noobs who'll never get good ropers or defaulters. Scheme is fun for funners but a no go for league play imo.

I doubt that a program named "Game Booster" would have any affect on any game. :)
