"Bidding up players from the opposition." -- I only brought this up as something to consider if the proposal passes. It is not something I would look to do, or particularly worry about. Considering all the other restrictions, I was trying to help by bringing up other possible pitfalls.

Anyway, I still prefer one team per person, but don't think adding secondary teams will doom the game or anything. If the proposal does pass, I would probably get a second team. And I'm a supporter and plan to continue to support the game for as long as I play, so my no vote is done with the utmost integrity and best interests of the game in mind. Saying that, I've only played the game for a couple of seasons, and maybe after playing for 10+ seasons, I would be more welcome to the second team idea.

I like the idea. I think it would be fun to join an out of country league.

I voted yes.
It would give me the chance to try out an entirely new strategy without blowing up my current team.
I've always thought it would be fun to have a true homegrown team. It will take awhile before they are good at all, but it would be fun to have the challenge of grooming what you are given (off the bat and in the drafts) into as formidable a team as possible.

And thats the only reason im against it.
It gives supporters an advantage.

Did you actually read what he wrote?
His different strategy is to build a team of totally homegrown players.
Where's the advantage there?
He's looking at a different sort of fun with this game, that's all.

I don't see the real advantage gained by this. It sounds like a great idea, especially with the "Utopia" for all 2nd teams. This would definitely cause me to renew my Supporter.

I believe that if BuzzerBeater lows a little bit the price of the supporter feature they will have a lot more of supporters. I would like to contribute to the BuzzerBeater with my money but the price is too high and it also could have a MONTHLY buy option like 3,99€ or something close to it.

Are you against private leagues as well then? Because it's basically the same "advantage". I think there are other very valid objections to the second team idea, but I'm not sure this is one of them in my mind.

I say no. I do not think it should be a supporter feature. I think every one should get a chance. Especially if the secondary team would have a chance to compete in leagues. That would give the supporters extra chances to win, which means promoting, which would mean they get more money to buy players. I think it is kind of unfair. And this would be a way to transfer money. So I say no.

Continue to think about this. I really like the idea of a second team with restrictions.

Being from a small country but with a number of active users that makes the first league mostly interesting, I do think it would be strange if someone from half way around the world, who has never lived in or been to Japan would become and be labeled as the Japan Champion. I think the Japan Champion should be from Japan.

On the other hand, I don't like the idea of a separate universe of play. I think the second teams should be in the same universe with the same player pools and with the opportunity to get to B3.

So, I think the only solution is to create some new "Seconds" countries for the second teams. I'd be happy to play in an "Asia Seconds" league or however else you want to organize the teams and second countries.

I agree with Iguanadon Joe. My first thought was the ability to create a homegrown team as well.
