As several have reported, a bug has been found where tactics points have been refunded a second time. This is a perfect time to start the GW Miller Topic of the Week! It's an ethical question, so whether you're gonna play it honest and not use your points, or if you're going to be a cheating bastard and exploit the bug to get more skills, I wanna hear from you!
Have you gotten greedy and spent your second batch of refunded points?
I'll give you my take: I held the temptation off for nearly 2 hours. Could not hold on any longer. Used the bonus points. I hope this bug is fixed and they can properly punish all the users who did use them. Maybe a skill embargo of a few days as punishment. That, or a cash fine. I'll gladly pay it.
I want all answers via in-game Mail due in by April 23rd. I will then take the best three responses and post them the next night. Those three will be eligible to beat my reserves in a non-friendly game whenever they want.
Send your responses in now!
Until we meet again, god bless all the little children in the world. Thank you.

Beating the Teams You're Supposed to Beat - Is this logic nonsensical in FML?
Tonight I asked the entire Miller lobby this question: Do you believe in the logic that there are just certain teams that you really should beat?
My take on this: Yes, there should be teams that you really should beat, like teams at least 200 ranks behind you. For top teams, I'd say at least 300 ranks because any of the top 300 can spring an upset on a top team at anytime. I throw not only the teams in those ranking ranges into the mix, but also the teams that don't have a bonafide star or recognizable name, teams that have just restarted, teams two stars rep or less, or teams that have just joined the gameworld. No matter how good a tactician a manager is, sometimes the player quality has to supercede all in this case. Anyone who tries to tell me that if you give Jose Mourinho a Blue Square North/South team, he'll turn them into a team that will beat a top Premiership side is out of their mind. Tactical strategy is great and all, but in the end, quality will always win out.
Here are some of the answers I have received.
William Hall: Yeah I believe in it but it really is lottery.
Abdul Muizz: I used to think that all the time. Now, I am not so sure.
Rajesh Borah: There are no certain teams, except the ones that have the GW title. It happens to me too, but that's football.
Simon Witt: There are teams with weaker players that play with "unrealistic" formations that I don't see how can dominate my team and yet get so many chances, so yes. I fail to see how a 6 man midfield creates 20 shots in a game. I can understand having all the possession, but if no stikers, how do they get into advanced positions?
THIS POST WILL BE EDITED THROUGH THE NIGHT AS I GET MORE RESPONSES!
A big thank you to all who have responded so far. I will be asking this question throughout the night while I'm on Miller. You may also reply by posting a comment, in which case I will post a counter-comment to reply to your opinion :)
Because I'm in the mood to do so, every sunday afternoon/night US Eastern time, I will post a Topic of the Week, also seen on Fox Soccer Channel's Fox Soccer Report. Of course it will be Miller-related. I want all responses via the way of in-game mail. I will post the best three in a friday response post. Those three winners will get mentions in the blog, and MAYBE a free win against my reserves :P
Until next time, god bless all the little children in the world. Thank you.
