when it is 15 degrees we are all rugged up & stay inside

on the tallest mountains in the middle of winter peeps are often skiing on fake snow in shorts

but i agree & i said @ the start it was probably going to be random rubbish

Here is not the best place to seriously start discussing it. True, it's a remote place of the forum. And it's english only which excludes those who don't speak english or aren't confident enough to post in english.

It should start in each national forum and eventually by bb-mail (without spamming) and when a reasonable consensus on what to do is reached, presented here. I don't see it happening any time soon :(

Well... besides the fact that the system of promotion seems to be somewhat broken (it appears as if this is even the case with larger nations) and really is in need of a fix, the reality as it is with the case of Japan is that the system of having the lower numbered leagues within division II fill first is pretty much ensuring that new guys are less likely to stay. And I think that all agree that Japan as a nation should be much, much bigger than 20-30 users.

I think big growth for Japan would be no problem if there was advertising, but the question is if the new users would stay.

We had a pretty quick jump from around 90 to more than 110 in Austria, and now we are back to even lower numbers. Most new members quit pretty soon if they realize they get slaughtered in every game. Same would apply for Japan...

I think that kind of summarize it all.

I will have a "wild" guess and say that the size of each BB-nation did not change to much.

Why? Because the uncomptitivness advnatage that the old users has over the new ones.
An advantage that is due to multiple seasons they got "bigger", and is not controled my means of salary cap and luxury cap (for example), which will make the game more competitive.

I'll write again a fact that I've found - three of the largest BB-nations (France, German and Italy) did not had a single team that joined prior of season 4 at last season (which was 17!!!).
And then people are supprised, why this community does not grow...

This game has a lot of possitive things that makes it a good one, but there is no reason to ignore the bugs and bad things this game has which just stand it its way.

THe adding teams logic is just dumb. IT adds to .I till its full, starting with teh top division. This is wrong.

IT should start them DIII. Let them play other new teams and bots their first few weeks before feeding them to the wolves.


I feel you - no homo.

I suggested to put new teams into the lowest Division to get an easy start, that was like two years ago...

When was it that Hong Kong got a massive influx of users?

I know their existing users were given deserved credit for the work they put in to achieve the results.

Anyone from Hong Kong reading this that can maybe let us know what you did?
