It's not about that. It's about the fact we will be forced to play against foreign managers in our leagues. If I play in Lithuania, I expect to play only against Lithuanians and chat in forums in Lithuanian language, not English.


And Lithuania will surely be invaded by a lot of users to replace all 16 users who are talking in a league forum/chat. Lithuania is one of the country who probably will be the less attracting. Big community, but not as big as USA/Italia/Spain, language of its own, not a small country. The middle of the pack for the middle nations will probably not see a lot of new people. Unless people have roots their, there is no reason to come. If they have roots and speak the local language, are they that scaring ?

But hey, if that thing is a no go, it will be a no go. BB is in no danger, money would be nice and helpful, but we can continue as we are.

On another note, we may not need a long discussion about arenas. Arguments have been given.


If I had a choice for where my second team would be, I'd choose a country with a robust user base and full divisions of non bot teams down through Div III at least. Starting in Div I against a smaller country's all time best managers would be a bit tough to take week after week. However, that would be fine with me if it was my only option to have a second team.

What is it, that a BB-official thinks he needs sarcasm to take part in a debate he started? You favor this idea, a lot of user won´t follow you. I can share the argument from the Lithuanian manager, because i don´t like to write english in the league board too. It´s a fact, that this idea will change the whole system BB is based on: Every manager plays in the nation he lives. This is the reason, why i like BB more than other basketball managers. And it is the reason, why i would -sooner or later- quit my supporter and the whole game after such a change.
You can answer to this opinions with ur sarcasm - or u could just accept that there are just other opinions than urs, Mr. Official.

Maybe that wouldn't touch Lithuanians very hard, but other nations, you mentioned, would be sufficiently affected. Still, I have read almost everything at this thread and I have seen a number of users who disagree with letting foreigners "invade" their countries and I fully understand them. Well, if they have roots there and speak the local language, no big deal then. And for me it is not a no go, I would love to see this feature implemented just for the funds BB would receive. It just shouldn't be done in this path.
Well said, Faultier.

quite. I know I would build more lower tier second time around.

I'm falling out of love with the idea of a second team. I've been reminded that having a second team dependent on my first team having supporter meant that I walked away from a game I was fond of when I decided not to renew supporter for a bit and then couldn't continue with the second team. As it happens, I decided to play BB more instead.

I think only the Utopia option is 100% interesting to me, although I am curious about starting a team in the USA and running a long term program there to see how the knowledge Ive acquired to date would stack up stateside

A "No" from my side.

I don't like the idea. You can't love more than one team. So everybody should focus on his primary team.

As someone who plays a similar sim with 2 teams, I can assure you your basic premise is incorrect.
