Honestly - the annoyance of those who love to play BB and lose an entire season due to a personal two week vacation should really be worth MORE than the cheating sh**.

So if you implement a "holiday system", working for no more than let´s say 4 weeks a season, a single player might cover up your team and make sure your minutes are all right for the shape and that your tactics are fine for the games, that opens up a way for cheating?

That´s ridicolous. It´s 9 weeks missing for the season to get the account fully operated, and you might aswell limit the holiday account to not beeing able to arrange friendly games so you cannot even do a proper training schedule. In addition, not beeing able to make financial transaction will cripple the cheating to a minimum.

So:

- each team should be able to go on vacation for up to 4 weeks per season
- a vacation password can be set for this period, it will automatically expire after the time period admitted by the account owner
- no more than one vacation period can be take during a season
- no manager may manage more than one other team any given season, so after you made a holiday account sitting session, you´re done for that season
- no financial transaction nor any personnel decisions can be made by the account sitter
- no friendly games can be arranged by a account sitter
- training cannot be changed but remains the same as the account owner entered

Come on, the game is about those who LOVE it, not about the morons beside. It´s REALLY missing alot, and limiting the honest ones more than the possible cheating is making any impact. You cannot stop cheating in the current system, so make the life easier for those who love to play BB if it doesnt open up stupid amounts of new cheating ways, which this system won´t.

I witnessed the situation twice that a coach went to vacation, set up his team, got a player injured in the first game and had a whole mess in shapes and results when he came back. Both players lost their solid chances for competing in the playoffs, entering 2nd and 3rd overall they saw their teams down to 3 players in shape when it mattered.

Of course you can setup your lineup in advance, but honestly, such a limited access will not really change much for the negative, while it opens up alot to the positive.

So you basically say: if you go on vacation, it´s your own fault?

Someone could say its 'their buddy's team' when its really their 2nd account.

Same thing for people using same IP for 2 accounts and saying 'its my brother'

These things can't be allowed because for eveyr honest case there will be 100 attempts to create a multiple account.

the brother thing is allowed, so we allow family to play BB. But i don't think that it is so bad when someone could babysit a account for maybe 4 week a year.

I would definitely use such a possibility to cheat.

It's not just about going on holidays,

It's also for like a Family emergency, example Death in the Family, some people need some time to travel interstate or to another country. People in NZ and Japan have been affected by Earth Quakes some people don't have the internet or even a house, It would be nice if they could get someone to babysit there game for a few weeks, while they have more important thing's to worry about.

Or is that there fault for being in the wrong family or living in the wrong place too.

@Knecht: Sure, but you´re Austrian ;)

Then again, how would you do it?
