You're offended by everything I say, so it's not like it matters.

As you have a harsh way of communicating I will take the liberty to do the same.

He is not the only one getting offended by you and there is a reason for this. You are quite harsh and arrogant in a lot of your statements.

If you where a "normal" user that would be completely fine (well perhaps not, but it would be no bigger problem). Now you are not, you are a GM, so using those kind of discourging statements could/will be interpreted as an official point of view, even if it is only "your way of speaking your personal opinion".

If users are offended about how a GM communicates it does matter. there might possibly be nothing to do about it, bet it really does matter as it gives an image of how people can expect to be treat and how they can expect to treat others.

As we are going pretty much OT now I will not continue this discussion here. But if you want to you are welcome to contact me through BB-mail or create a thread to discuss what can be expected of a GM.

To make it clear, I wasn't offended (definately not in this thread and not by Juice). I can only see how it can be seen and pointed it out for reason chespirito stated above. The only I would like is that GMs wouldn't losing their calm and think about every other comments as a personal attack by default. And that's I really mean.

What you can insult someone via BB-Mail:D I'm going to use that option!!!:D:D:D

Now I just hope ignore list would be announced at least from Season 11 for long term planning:)

Juice,

I'm thinking of an object. It can be found in a belt or a box.

Everyone,

Seriously though, we should be in a good mood gang. Season 8 is here, I've blown up my team, again, and I have eight different countries represented on my team. I really don't care what happens down the road. The term 'adapt and overcome' surely comes to mind. Also the term 'game'. That is a good one. RELAX.

Now, we are all not going to agree with each other all the time, but I think we can all agree that this site should be a refuge for the stresses of everyday life. A place to enjoy yourself and meet people. We cannot move forward unless we look behind us and CLEARLY some owners come off a bit abrasive. Those owners must have the fortitude to see this and try to change, not who they are, but change how they word certain things.

If you have issues with other posters on nearly every thread, than it's clearly not them, it's you.

I agree with Charles, there is a news and in that news I've seen 150 posts only regarding a difference of 10-20% of the salary... I think for example that is more important the change regarding the rebounds, the change about 1 vs 1 in defense and in general I'm much more interested in the changes regarding the GE.

The economic aspect in this game is really interesting and we must be careful if we want to continue to have good players in roster and good cash flow at the same time; I prefer a game where is difficult to earn money instead of a game where you can earn millions in a month that's why I'd like to follow Tattoro in his strategy, you can do or not the same but I don't think BBs will change their opinion. From my point of view I don't like this change copy/paste by hattrick but as written above there are other aspects more important for my now and I really hope BBs will introduce more tactics, balance better the impact of the skills, change ratings (cause we really didn't understand anything about some games won and lost), change fan survey and change PR and doctor and at the end, that they will give to all the hobbits trainer the possibility to win something imho the GE still give an advantage to the teams that train centers and PF.

I want to ask about something completely diffrent - how long will be the old version of economy available?

Someone mentioned that they have thier strategy planned 4-5-6 seasons into the future. Is this a valid argument for no change? If you can plan that far in advance with no deviation from the plan, it doesnt seem very realistic or 'management' oriented. Adapt and overcome? The best laid plans of mice and men? Insert your own cliche here about the effectiveness of long-term plans on any aspect of life. I dont think the game should stand still to accomodate those who refuse to be flexible.

No, it's just a....goth being erm, reality-challenged. (It's a euphamism for 'tosser' so file another moan mate).

A few coaches appear to believe they are the only ones to have a long term strategy. Reality does not appear to be impinging on their vision. GL to them!

It is just a little frustrating to keep hearing how smaller team-based countries have it so rough. I have been subtle in my response to this, but perhaps being more direct is better.

A new manager from Malta can get his team today, be NT manager tomarrow, win his Cup and be national champ all in his first year. Chances are I will never enjoy any one of these accolades. I still dont understand how this is worse for small-country teams by comparison. I dont think it is realistic to think that because of these new changes coming, everyone will have only or even mostly players from just thier own country. So if the top team from Japan has to pay a 10% increase for a foriegn player, and the top team from Spain has to pay 20%, shouldnt that allow a norrowing of the gap between these two teams? Not only can a small country team start and continue to make more money than a new team form a big country, they do not have the intense level of competition to compete with in the top series of thier country. They make more and require less to be competitive. This change only increases that ratio in thier favor. More money and less price than a top team in a large country for the same transfer.

In regard to ratio on national players per active team, I was refering to incoming recruits, and the ratio is the same no matter what country you play in. 3 recruits per active team per season, as many people looking for national transfers as feeding them into the system. Yes, newer countries have less overall players than countries who have been around for longer, but how much help can a small country expect without putting teams from bigger countries at a disproportionate disadvantage?

This is why im surprised there aren't more teams from the bigger countries in here, but I guess this mostly effects only the few that are playing in the B3. When I've seen a team can dominate a country with a handful of teams while making 400k plus per game and only 150k in wage, there's just no chance for teams from bigger countries in the long run.
