Well, let's say I suddenly stop logging in and the team goes bot after 6 weeks of inactivity. All my NT players would disappear? I think this is not fair to my NT and to the players. I don't want to treat the players as normal persons (they are bytes, afterall) but they should be able to change the team if their original team goes bot or bankrupts as in real life.

And to prevent cheating, a player who hits FA shouldn't be eligible for NT for next two seasons.

Of course I understand there are many way to render a NT player worthless to his NT. I'm just asking why the botification would be one of them. The easiest route however would be to cancel FAs altogether, but that would make BB a trading game again.

I understand your concern. Manager leaves, but his players remain and they enlarge the player pool available to managers. I thought this rule could be done to save only those players that were in NT at the time of botification. It's true thought that if a player "disappears" due to minute mismanagement or lack of training, the same can be applied to bottified players.

I am not a fan of terminating a player when a team quits. You might start to see farm teams that save money to buy an NT player and then just quit the game.

If a player's original drafter and/or major trainer goes bot, then the player will no longer play for any NT. This might require a little manual review as it could be difficult automating. Basically anyone could 'report' a given player, and then the action could be taken if a team that spent more than a few weeks training the palyer and/or the team that drafted him has quit playing BB...then remove him from the NT eligiblity/NT...anyone buying players off the list would know about this rule, so I think it would be fair.

in addition with this, no more FAs...if someone quits BB,the player they made should quit with them. FAs were necessary when the game was new and user numbers were growing...now user numbers are plumeting and there is an endless supply of well trained/supertrained vet players. No more FA.

Best suggestion you ever made!

But despite that I'd like to add something: if a player's leaving the game, all players, that ever played for or against his team, have to leave as well. They're retiring the same day. This would not only help all NTs all over the world, but it would make lucky fans a lot luckier, because they'd have much more chances of stepping onto the field and playing for their favourite team!
