I'm more interested am I tanking currently?
By virtue of the fact that you're playing with 13 bots, no you're not tanking. I already said multiple times that at the lowest level you would not be able to implement any measure efficiently. If you made half the money while going down, would you feel equally good about being in D3? I don't think so.
This would leave us really with the micronation problem. In any case that is why I would personally link any measure to performance against human managers and not bots.
Agreed. Even at the expense of a bad survey for 6 consecutive home games before this guy played the next human manager.
playing bots is like an "exhibition". Who cares? I'd go to an exhibition, maybe, if it was free.... (cause i'd still have to pay for parking, food, beer etc.)... But I certainly wouldn't pay for an exhibition, namely because it lacks the competitive nature. (same reason I wouldn't pay to watch a team tank)
