do you have a realistic idea about when we wil get the app?

Or at least a website for mobile devices ... I am pretty sure, this is far more feasible than a mobile app.

yeah, of course i said app because they keep talking about the app. but i'd rather keep using the website

As a returning manager since season 30ish (when I left due to personal reasons), I've seen a lot of change that have made the game better already.

One change that has made the game better (in my opinion) is the implementation of micro-nations. This gives us better competition than playing bots every week.

However, to extend with this somewhat new feature, something that I'd like to ask Marin is: Will we see a change to the competitions to U21 and National teams?

My suggestion to support my question is to implement a micro nation world tournament (in place of the consolation tournament). So we'd have (for example):
- Season 51: 1. Micro nation world tournament (for micro nations from each continent) and 2. a normal world tournament (for the other nations from each continent).
- Season 52: Normal continental tournaments.
- Season 53: Same as season 51.
- And so on and so forth.

This gives the opportunity for the smaller nations to win some trophies, as well as give incentives for managers to train their players and therefore, maybe BB can retain some of their users.

Alternatively, we could have three tournaments going on, that is, the micro nation world tournament (for the micro nations), a middle (need a better name lol) world tournament (for the not so small, yet not so big nations), and the world tournament (for the bigger nations). So it'd look like (for example):
- Season 51: 1. Micro nation world tournament. 2. middle world tournament. 3. world tournament.
- Season 52: Normal continental tournaments.
- Season 53: Same as season 51.
- And so on and so forth.

I don't see the point of having a consolation tournament, as it just wastes one season's worth of talent of a young player, especially for the smaller nations when we can't compete against the top nations that constantly win it.

Will it be possible to find the news before season 46 if we don't make a backup?

1. What happened to BB-Simone? If he's gone for good, does he plan to get another helping hand for development from the userbase?

2. Can he get quotes to improve the front end of the game and let us know the cost for:
- Making the website either responsive (preferable) or adaptive and generally mobile friendly
- Getting a working viewer for mobile devices
- Redoing the forum interface
- Redoing the chat interface (possibly to have it accessible not just under the viewer)

3. All the stuff in 2 has nothing to do do with the GE and the back end processes (daily updates, training and whatnot). Is he willing to let someone else work on the front end?

The schedule follows the simplest possible template actually.

Teams 1-4 v teams 5-8 for the first 4 games, then among themselves in the next 3 games. This is why it seems like there are clusters of teams playing against each other more or less at the same time.

The easier fix for the schedule would be to play interconference games last, so the advantage from the first third of the season would last for fewer weeks.

No I used 1-4 as a placeholder. I could have said A-D or Red1, Red2, Red3, Red4, catch my drift? The same 4 teams rotate against the same other 4 teams in the first 4 games. That's why week 2 (game 2 and 3) is the only week when everyone in the league has a home and an away game exactly. Then, once that rotation is over A-D play against each other...which is why it looks like the same teams are playing each other in the last 3 games (they are!).

Interconference is also done the simplest way, since you have all the teams in the same conference play home or away at the same time. It's like those first 4 games but with 16 teams instead of 8.

Oh and there is indeed one schedule that is the worst possible and it's the team with this sequence A-HA-HA-HA and there is one per conference; second worst is A-HA-HH-AA (I have the opposite of this schedule in England, which means I've had the second best schedule possible, money-wise). This is reversed in the last 3rd of the season when the schedule is the opposite and the team that had the worst schedule at the beginning, now has the best one. Too bad they played catch up with gate receipts for like 9 weeks.
