first quote:
that 1 more team have the potential to drive the prize up. I'll refer to Obira on this, considering that such a case made him miss out of Steven Ballaert. he had sold a couple of players to get Ballaert, and missed out on him because a cheater got him. the consequence was that he lost more games than he would have had he gotten ballaert or still had his old players.
second quote:
it already is the case. i won't deny it. however, adding secondairy teams will increase the amount of times such a thing will occure. so yes, i'm against something like that, especially since it's likely to increase cheating cases (and more importantly, it will mean GM's have to make tough decisions based upon little evidence. it doesn't occure often atm, but secundairy team will make it a much more regular thing...
3rd quote:
u pay for supporter for your first team. the second team is then optional. hence, u pay supporter for your first team, not to get a second team (or not necessairily atleast). Futhermore, losing cash on your second team has no implications to your first team. u can drop a second team any time you want, u just have to wait to get a new one for 14 weeks if you do drop it.
So the second teams don't stand to lose anything. And if it's 4 managers vs 1 primairy team, who do you think the GM's are going to believe? especially if all 4 cough up the same story. I'll stress again, such a case has happened in Belgium already, to a current BBBL team. i'll let that team come forth if they want to and dive into the details then. but untill then, it remains a possibility. Now, it's hard to do because u can only own 1 team, so u stand to lose your own team (or teams, if u have multiple, but no smart cheater will want to bring that attention to his teams risking to lose em... with a secundairy team, u stand to lose less). if u make teams pay for having a second team, then they'd have something to lose. (so regardless of being a supporter or not, if you let em pay to have a second team, then yes i would agree with it. since then the manager of the second team stands to lose something if he doesn't follow the rules)
4th quote:
well, not immediately. but 2 seasons in the lower division and you are certain to promote out of it, if u invest your cash wisely and train correctly, something which any current first division manager and most second division managers of large nations, could do. so yes, i do consider it to be an impact. i know many managers capable of that. within 4 or 5 seasons, u could be in II (or I, considering that it will most likely happen to smaller communities)
5th quote:
concerning the advantage: i consider a second team it to be an advantage. if you don't, that is your own oppinion, but i think many will share the oppinion that a second team would be an advantage. This game exists because people enjoy it. because some people (supporters) give a little cash to be able to enjoy the game. but that fun is generated by both supporters and non supporters. eliminate the non supporters, and the fun would drastically decrease (atleast for me it would. the majority of the guy's i know in BB are non supporters). I'm not sure i'd want to play BB without the others to enjoy it with. So yes, supporters are important, but don't dismiss the importance of the non supporters. they provide other things that BB needs aswell.
anyhow, to each idea there are pro's and contra's. we can discuss about it endlessly, i've only looked at it from a negative point of view, because i like how BB is now. i don't feel the need for changes. but sometimes, change is necessairy. given enough time, i might actually warm up to the concept, but for now, i'm not in favor of it because it leaves to many loop holes. it's just my personal view upon it. and i'll ignore that last sentence of yours, since i already said i'd love expansion, but that i don't think this is the way to do it.
