I suppose you could ask NK if you could use the "old match engine" although that didn't really represent skill levels very accurately.
An old version of the sim would still be better than '08. No harm in asking him. He can only say No...
Frankly, there's absolutely no way I'd be doing it if I was in his position. I don't know a lot about Blackout Rugby however I think I'm right in assuming that Seasonal Rugby here would be direct competition.
I dont think Seasonal Rugby would possess that much of a threat to it at all really. I think that would be the only advantage.
Blackout Rugby is basically a game where you take control of a team and manage it. Whereas here, you are a player. I have already contacted Jeremy (the other creator/developer) and he is reluctant to let us use it.
Scoble is the man on here to talk too... might get it easier... If you want me or Luffers could do it for you, he knows us through the Vipers subbie.
