this is getting into the formula, which we aren't going to reveal.

hmmmm, my arguments are silly .... but I must to cry about your pre-season testing primary, testing by your presentment is perfect, must be teached all the world ... :-D :-D :-D ...

summary:
I have fewer income from TV than other best teams on BB-world (except BC Hostivař) :-)
I have fewer income from merchandise than worse teams in my league

yes, I am silly when I think that this is not fair ....


edit: I am silly when I pay money for your non-profesional product (I don´t mean economy changes, but for delaying in schedule, non-testing, etc. ) only ....

I have no idea what you are saying now, but I gather its insulting me.

So in summary, I ask you to make reasonable arguments that have balance, and you insult me.

I think your objections are to the large/small country debate.

Large countries will say the only reason you got to be the best in BBB was because you were in a small country and had no competition and so were able to build a very good team, when managers who were working just as hard and are just as smart in larger countries couldn't create the kind of team you did.

You being from a smaller country think that a D1 team in your country should be treated the same a a D1 team in Spain.

We decided that we would make things skewed a bit towards the overall competition level in a division, so that competition within a division would be tighter. This of course means that the best teams from stronger countries are getting more money than the best teams from weaker countries, regardless to whether that specific team is "better" or "worse." What you say is true, but we still think this is a better way of doing things, than letting you completely dominate your small countries league and making it difficult for anybody competing with you to ever catch up. I understand you don't like that tradeoff, but it was a conscious choice we made with a specific goal in mind.

We are not professionals, we are not well paid, we work part time, we make mistakes, we try our very best to fix them. Testing sucked this last season I agree, its also hard to test things thoroughly with a very small staff and a huge buzzerbeater universe.

Insulting the people that are basically not getting paid much of anything at all and have created this game is a very poor way to get people to listen to your message.

maybe misunderstanding happens, but I learned word "silly" today, and my translator translate them as attack on me.

I think that I have better competitor than all spain teams. Tooroo and Sharman are comparable as Hostivař only. And czech TV is lower than slovakia TV. I think that I would have better chance to win Spain 1.league than Czech 1.league.

I don´t know how mutch supporters pay for BB. I comprehend that 1000 supporters don´t maintain full-time staffs, but I pay same charge for one year as price of box PC game. I want functional game. Please lower count of change and more testing next time.

I'm sure that if you had started in a division V or VI like lots of managers are doing in Spain, you wouldn't thing that it's easy to win the Spanish D1 league or the Italian D1. In those leagues it's very difficult to win, because everybody who plays in D1, has won before in D5, D4, D3 and D2, so they are all really good, and winning a match it's really difficult. In Spain you'll never see a team in D1 finishing with a balance of 22-0 like you did last season, so they won't win as money as you win with game attendance, because thay will lose some matches wich will affect their game attendance, so it's obvious that to keep the game fair, BBs have to give more money to the D1 Spanish's teams so they can try to compete with you or with Sharman.

And you're supporting the game, not buying a game, it's really different. BBs are doing a great job with this game and I'm sure that if they have a delay in their schedule is not because they don't want to work but because they had something unexpected that made them have this delay.

is the delay referring to the tactics option change? Other than that I think things have been going on basically as we have promised, plus the new site, which I cannot underestimate how much time has gone into.. and even so i know it isn't bug free. Perhaps we should have pushed it back farther and tried to fix more bugs, but we really thought we had the number of bugs down to a much lower level than it turned out to be... when you shine the light of 50K testers on something you are going to get a much more thorough inspection than the light of 3 part time people, or even 50 part time people when we release it to GMs. Until this game gets much larger, or the online advertising revenue picks up a great deal this is going to be a game that is developed by people who are doing it more for the love of what they have built and the hope that it will get bigger... and we are slowly always getting bigger... and although we might not be able to do things as quickly as everyone would like, we really are trying to make choices that keep the game interesting for the widest number of users and trying to avoid pitfalls that we have observed in other massively multiplayer online games. I think veterans of hattrick will agree that we have as of yet avoided some of the pitfalls of that game.

I meant 'silly' as a characterization of your argument, that was a poor choice of words, I should have used extreme or something to denote that I felt the argument was portraying the situation as an extreme version of reality rather than realizing that the reality was a compromise between the extremes i was laying out.

I said that about the schedule delay becuase he used as an argument against BBs job, and I think that he was totally wrong using this argument. I don't know to wich delay he's referring, and i'm sorry if you misunderstood me, i'm not a natural english-speaker so maybe I haven't choosed the best words to express my opinion. I just wanted to say that you're doing such a great job and that if it has been some kind of delay (wich I repeat I don't know wich one he means) I'm sure that it wasn't because you didn't wanted to work on the game but because something unexpected could have happened.

I imagine that it's really difficult to work on this game while you're also working on a full-time job and that's why I think that his arguments were wrong.
