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.

Could this not be implemented on an experimental basis? Try it for two seasons with the understanding that Supporter money not be refunded. The teams that are taken over would be bots and would return to bots if the rule is rescinded. Then poll people again with solid statistics.
