Thats not my quote thats gm perpete quote. I told him I dis agreed with that quote. lol

I said draft for new team should be automatic with a good amount money/ points to get good player they can build around or already have a young star on team. That the BB system gives them automatic. which is below that quote og the Gm

For the 1st season.

I was half expecting to cop a warning or be kicked out of the game for starting this thread and quoting some statistics on the drop off in active Managers both overall and for several countries.

Quite happy that I got a discussion starter acvhievement instead.

A couple more figures;

Mexico had 99 Managers and is now down to 73
Nippon had 38 Managers and is now down to 30
New Zealand 64 Managers and is now down to 48
Scotland 32 Managers and is now down to 23
Crna Gora 82 Managers and is now down to 67
Belarus 120 Managers and is now down to 95.

Have the owners of the game expressed any concern in the drop off of numbers which surely must be greater than they expected, and have they given any indications that they will be taking proactive steps to arrest the decline in numbers which has occurred over the last 6 months?

you really think this is a mean dictature here. It's just a kind dictature.

Kind is so much nicer than mean.

With the drop off in numbers im getting closer to world supremacy each day, despite the fact I will probably relegate this season

A player is only valuable relative to the value of other players, so the more valuable 19 year olds are, the less valuable 18 year old $4k HoFers are.

Dont think you fully comprehend the "laws of relativity"

I don't have a said cure to stop the madness of the game drop off numbers. If they think everything is ok. then everything is ok.

The way I learned it was" if you care you speak up for the better of it, if you don't care. you say nothing and go about your business". So I think what your doing a very good thing.

Me personally i think the stubbornness not to scale back LI/lp balance is going to be this game down fall. A small scale back will not make anyone leave. I think a lot of long time managers would open up more on the game tactic wise, the market better in diversity of players to buy and sell. The money top teams and all teams are losing every years from not selling a motion guard and r&g pait, O iso player is just absurd, a bad basic guard in those tactics is 44k$ a week .you need a very expensive guard to be effective in outside offense tactics, the win don't come easy either, its just millions of dollars wasted or not attained but needed every season for a lot of teams.

I think the BB guys don't how to handle that, they got the market so close to their chest and want thing in certain order. I don't see how allowing outside team to make money is bad thing it still very ,very expensive to attain In order to good outside team it takes 3-5 seasons still there is no sure win with a outside teams,. li maybe 1season you'll see great success. That's just my opinion, not a fact or anything.

The opportunity to get a second team would put many countries from zero to he..., um, well maybe "okay" - I would join a micronation if it was possible and I would be very happy if we had more teams in Austria. I love all my fellow countrymen (no homo), but a fresh breeze would be very welcome. If we could get like 10% of the current userbase join a second nation that would be uber-awesome.

Spot on.
It was done with success in a similar game (based around football). For me (and I suspect other micronation users) it would be an opportunity to join a bigger nation (I'd probably start up a team in my native Australia).
You'd revitalize the game.

Yes they are aware of it and looking for solutions. Of course, doesn't mean easy solution or will happen or any expected dates, but they are not letting that game go down.

That's a politicians statement. We all know what a politicians word is worth.

Let's be honest... The users asks for W, offer X,Y and Z as a possible solution and finally either nothing happens or a solution § is developed, which nobody fully understands.

If there is no money, you can either cut the expenses or find other sources of income. Maybe a little bit of both would be the best - there is an abundance of users willing to GIVE you money for a second team. If properly done this could raise enough money to get the app coded - which will bring more users and more money...

There are also apprentice developers in Real Life which offer (one, two, three or more times) to work for you without payment, just for "loving the game". The answer is always we don't need it...

Sincerely, it sounds strange. Naturally, not the first one who ask should receive an invite to read all the BB code, but you can do some verification, if you need to hire working people but you don't have enough money.

I really start to feel like a dinosaur here. The game is very old-fashioned. I still like it, but it does not attract much new consumers. The world has changed. What was cool 5 years ago, is so out-dated now. And not much changed in a game in the meantime.

Still no application for smartphones or tabs. No attractive minigames. Nothing, what is considered as "cool" these days.
I still like it. But I am 25 now.. I dont think any teenagers would find anything interesting here. So old-school :)
