I am sorry. Either you think there was progress in this dimension in the last two seasons or you think there wasn't.






Huh? Did you read what I said?

I asked a question but didnt want to hear the generic response from any of the candidates. End of story.

I hadn't, until today, looked at the Help - English forum for months due to the (I guess now mostly abandoned) practice of locking the thread once it had been answered which really isn't friendly and didn't show as being a post to you and who is going to think to lock in a locked thread if they are reading the forum for answers?


It was decided that locking Help threads (unless they were spam, transfer ads, etc.) wasn't helping much of anybody, so that forum is moderated more, uh, laxly than others.

I also dislike the million and one stickies on Global


We're trying to see if it's feasible to add an ads system to kill at least four of the stickies right there, and we're always reviewing them. I agree that it's quite cluttered.

No biggie.

One of my old series mates once suggested this to me:

Many new users look at their own conference forum first. Our old div IV series was actually pretty active considering there are only 16 participants. New users tend to start here and in the Help forums because they are linked on their team or standings page. Perhaps a post (maybe even sticky) pasted into each of the USA Series forums that links to NT/U21 threads or offsite boards, and a description of how USA managers can help out the NT/U21 teams. Maybe a word about the importance of GS so new users start out thinking about training and minutes.

Alot of the players stagnating in V-IV are doing so because of lack of knowledge of GS and/or training. A small bit of motivation or information when a new player first starts out can prepare him for better National participation before he even knows about the NT.

I liked your suggestion to get the BB-USA forums linked to team pages as well, that is a move in the right direction.

Why are you scanning players of there is a database full of them? Specifically, my player has made the team 3 times in the last week. To me that is wrong. If I didn't want my player on the U21 NT, it's my business and my players shouldn't be looked at by a Manager that I compete with for any US activity.

Secondly, you chose one of your own players to play on the team. With the new econ support National Hero's would you do that now if he wasn't the best player?

Both of those give you an advantage others don't have. Why should we take that risk on you for a second term?

That's most likely me, not Coco.

During the periods when enthusiasm does not need to be managed, I scout every player in the database every Friday to monitor pops, etc., so that when enthusiasm must be managed we have the most up-to-date information about our player pool.

It's perfectly legal, and the BBs can check logs of who has been added/dropped with regards to national teams if there are questions of impropriety.

As long as the information is accessible, it's going to be logged.

Besides, I could post my entire team's skills here and it wouldn't mean jack - you still need the talent to win.
