Wow, really good detailed response. Thank you.
I appreciate you explaining why things are the way they are.
I've thrown some ideas out there. I appreciate that you have a lot of issues to deal with and a lot of goals and realities with the programming and administering of a Massive multiplayer online game. Hats off to you (and the whole BB team for everything that have created so far).
I'm still overall unhappy with the imbalance of competition in my country, but I can see what you mean about the possibility of a bunch of people signing up, and maybe in a few months or however long I'll find that evened-out level of competition I'm looking for. Or maybe I'll make the JBBL and do what I can to fight my way up their ranks.
My big hope is to be in a league full of active guys who joined about the time I did. If I think of any more ideas of how that might be possible (while considering the other issues etc. you mentioned) I'll let you know.
ONE BIG NOTE--- There was a REALLY big Japanese drama put out recently on TV, about young basketball players. The name of the drama was 'BuzzerBeat' (gotta love Jpaanese English)> Anyway they probably got fansites and stuff, something. Throwing up 'hey we got a GAME called the same thing, based on basketball etc. might grab some more Japanese players. and stuff.
