I would also like to see it start with a fresh new team.

It's definitely not up to you to decide what the USA community does, much like it's not up to any of us to decide if this kind of thing would be a good idea for Estonia.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I already said I mistook this for a global forum, but your point got me a little interested. Do you actually mean that I can not post in this forum?
I expressed my opinion but never tryed to decide anything for the US community. It's amazing that you read such an odd thing out of my post:)
What I wanted to ask was: are you implying that I can not post in any forum except estonian? If I speak spanish, russian, finnish, english, I think I can post in any forums that are written in the language mentioned before. Am I mistaken? Now if the community chooses to dismiss my suggestion just because I'm not their "countryman" is entirely up to the community in question.
True or false?

That's absolutely not what I meant.

It'd be like a non-Estonian going to Estonia and bashing an idea that applied to only Estonians.

Since it's not something impactful to you, your opinion wouldn't really be considered by the community unless it was thought-provoking.

What I wanted to ask was: are you implying that I can not post in any forum except estonian? If I speak spanish, russian, finnish, english, I think I can post in any forums that are written in the language mentioned before. Am I mistaken?


You can post in any forum you have access to as long as you use the proper language.

Now if the community chooses to dismiss my suggestion just because I'm not their "countryman" is entirely up to the community in question.

Absolutely true.

Nice answers. I agree that I should not bash ideas in US forum and I did appologize for mixing up the forum tags.
Still I do think that every player -> community, impacts my gameplay. Every user on TL market buying, selling, training, buying staff etc. Equation changes with every single transaction.
I will wait your answer in this thread if you like to reply. If I have further questions for the things I misunderstood I will bb-mail you directly. I don't want to litter this thread any more.

You've actually missed the point of this exercise. Regardless of whether its my team or another team, the team being mentored would be doing all of the work.

Researching their opponents, reporting on their team, handling all the training. That would all be done by the team being mentored.

The mentor(s) would simply be guiding the mentee in areas that perhaps they hadn't considered.

For example, I have a very nice 18 year old point guard that is 6' 2" I had hoped that this player would have a use on the u21 team. One of the more experienced managers here in this game pointed out to me that my player has atrocious rebounding. It never occurred to me that a PG would need rebounding. It also never occurred to me that it would take him longer to learn rebounding because he was shorter. The more experienced manager indicated to me that it was a toss up. Do I focus on his PG skills for training, OS, Handling, knowing that as a club player, I really don't need this particular player to have much rebounding. Or do I attempt to tack on a few levels of rebounding to make him a more viable u21 player. It was a choice that I had to make. it wasn't a choice that the more experienced manager got to make for me.

That is a small example of how discussions can help newer managers. Give us a chance to think of things that we would not have otherwise considered. Every once in awhile, those newer managers can come around to think of things too but it helps if you've got some perspective on the impact that it might have on the game.

This is a good idea. So are you offering to be the community mentee?

Count me in. Though I assume that the goal is to have many managers offering their advise and opinions.

Ice Storm should become a mentee too, and all key decisions will be decided by community vote
