And also being said. Try to promote te easiest and most legit way. Win the playoffs. If you need to depend on these loopholes to get promoted. Why bother. Don't blame the system. And don't flame...

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

I don't think you can consider LA-Lord of Doom's post to be flaming, he said everything in a pretty level-headed manner, and made no personal attacks. And I agree with what he said. I would agree with what you said too, except you came into a thread about botification to talk about how you should just win the playoffs, which is obvious and ideal, but we all can't be so lucky.

I think he was directing that at Y_I_F but didn't change the To: part.

Last season bot teams did do regular promotion if they won the playoff, and then they were replaced by live teams. I'm sure no bots were promoted during the secondary promotion.

it's good to botify teams that don't log in that often... but i wish that BB would be advertised well so that there will be more players and the game would be more competitive. you cannot tell if your team is that good if you just play with bot teams.

The BBs want to be sure the new servers are up and running, and are able to handle an increased user load before they do their advertising push.

You wouldn't want them to bring in a ton of new users before they're ready and not be able to hardly access the site, right?

That's quite a bit of hair splitting you're doing over there dissecting the meaning of a pretty clear post by Juice. Sounds like you're looking for something/someone to be upset at.


It wasn't clear to me, my bad.

A shame, if the bot replacement team I trounced gets promoted and I don't, that's strike one against BuzzerBeater.

I waited for six, seven strikes against Hattrick over three seasons before quitting in disgust, I won't hang on that long with BB.


not so sure the bot team gets promoted, since they are doing the opposite, getting the bot teams down...

I


In your ire (perhaps justified) you missed my entire point that the team is not a bot, it is a replacement owner who is being given credit for finishing with the most wins when the hard work was done by an owner who thought so little of finishing first that he quit.

You have stated that the team with the most wins gets the promotion. The team in my conference with nominally the most wins replaced the team that logged the most wins. That team is not as strong as either of the conference finalist, Exhibit A being my 38 point win. Surely either conference finalist is a better bet to hang on in the Third Division.

Plus, both conference finalists have been playing since Nov 2. The new team joined in early January. I think the ultimate goal of BB is to become a going concern. To do that, you need more people to become supporters. Which group of owners is more likely to pay $40? Newbies in their first month? Or owners in their third month who are building solid programs?

Food for thought and comment.

As to my decision to stay, drop BB or pay $40, I'll post later as to what I'm looking for in the way of a pastime, and what would cause me Hattrick-level irritation.
