To the whiners:
a) stop complaining or stop playing :-P
b) adapt, adapt, adapt

(BTW, having a cushion is good management, not pure luck)

To the BBs: do you guys talk to the HTs about the economy and how to drive economic policies? HT is a more mature and has gone through periods of inflation and deflation... Just a thought :-)

All in all, thanks for making improvements to the game. Or, as some would say, for trying to improve the game :-D

Actually, having a cushion is likely bad management, since you're not utilizing your resources to the maximum. Well, of course, if you expect a 25% cut in revenue in the end of any given season, it might be the right thing to do.

Having a cushion on runaway inflation is bad management.

Hey Charles,

Teams who will take the championship this upcoming playoff and will be promoted to a higher league will also enjoy the money reward or is it only relevent for the next season?

I think it will be wrong to not reward those teams, couse if so, they will "suffer" the new laws in the higher leagues "40%" 25%" but wont get the pluses of the new economic system (rewards)

That's exactly my point: maximum utilization is not optimal (read "The Goal"). Call those provisions if you will. I would actually advocate have any team keep at least 3 weeks of average revenue in cash.

But hey, that's just me not having to find cash somewhere (sell players?) because I'm borderline broke since I utilized my resources to the maximum :-)

Fast, but not completely correct (see my answer to his argument).

Now about your comment: yes, inflation decreases the value of my cushion. But by how much? And how much flexibility do I gain with respect to sepnding every dime I own?

I'm OK with the value of my cushion decreasing by even 10% every season if it allows me to be more flexible in my choices and my reactions.

I have a feeling that some of our friends who are complaining about the changes are those who maximize their resource utilization :-)

We are also making changes to the Cup and B3. For both competitions, instead of earning gate receipts depending upon the home team attendance, teams will get a fixed amount of money in each round. A table listing the payouts for each round will be placed in the rules before next season.

Let me get it straight... if I am unlucky enough to play a division I team in the first round I won't even have the advantage of a higher arena income?

Honestly I was hoping for a *even* better attendance system, where a division IV team playing home against a DI would see its arena sold out, no matter what, and an DI team playing home against a D-IV team would have half seats empty, no matter what.
