I know it's been discussed before but with the number of users steadily decreasing by the week this is starting to become a necessary direction for those that run the game.

Allow each user the choice of owning up to 2 teams with the following stipulations.

1. You must be a supporter. This would immediately become the biggest incentive to becoming a supporter and would increase this income stream.

2. You must announce openly who your 2nd team is. No secret teams from either the BB's or other users.

3. Your 2nd team has to be in a different country. You can't stay in your current country and become a so-called farm team. Let the owner choose any country he wants, many would likely choose smaller, micro-nations and that in turn would probably save those countries from becoming instinct. How many micro-nations out there only have a few active users and they are becoming bored with the game because they play BOTs and inactive teams most weeks? I've quite often seen this complaint from the users in those nations.

4. You can never, ever transfer players between the 2 teams. For obvious reasons. You can't book scrimmages with your 2nd team either. These 2 teams are on virtual islands from each other.

To recap, the upside of this is more users/teams, more supporter money and the people who are actively playing and supporting the game with $$$ are being rewarded with a huge perk. It will also help stop 2 of the biggest problems with today's game, a declining user base and a lack of users in micro-nations. Obviously there is a downside to going this direction but I think the positives far out weigh the negatives at this point.

I voted yes.

However, maybe some people ONLY want to play against people from their own country. Example: Team with 10 teams, all of a sudden it is 15 teams and 5 teams are foreign.

I would be OK with all the 2nd teams being grouped into the "Utopia" country. This was suggested by someone before. Then every one can play against every one else in this league with your 2nd team and the cream will really have to rise to the top. However, then there is the issue of how everyone starts out (div I,II,III etc...)

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Second Team:
Canada Purple Haze BC
Would love it, can't imagine too many supporters that wouldn't
Might even stop some from cheating since they would legally have 2nd team

The first year could be kinda like a B3 to find out who shall start in which Division.
Once you get eliminated you play multiple scrimmages a week.

Would the ''utopia'' country be able to play in the B3?

To: oxygenum

You would be able to finish your season.

To: abigfishy

We should be able to say that you don't want to be in a high division.
If I had a new team i would like to start from beginning.
In the lowest division.
