For example, as I understand it you are responsible for the Canadian U-20 site. It needed some
updates this season so it went offline for a while. Everyone I talked to said you were really busy this
season so you did not have time to look at it.

I'm not saying that you do not have a right to be busy. I'm just asking if that period is over and you will be able to concentrate full time on the BB NT.


I'm responsible for the Canadian U20 site insofar as I voluntarily wrote it and maintained it for 8 HT seasons (roughly 2.5 real-life years for the non-HTers). I was in fact very busy when the abrupt HT changes made it necessary to make some major modifications. Now, it's a matter of dwindling interest. I still may make the necessary updates, but my self-interest is low, and the current Canada U20 coach moved on quickly to another solution, so there's little incentive to prioritize that work. I'm having more fun doing other things in life, including BB.

A somewhat related question: will you give up your NT involvement in HT or do you think you can manage both?


Per what I wrote above, I have no current NT involvement in Hattrick.

Excellent. You have my vote, then (for what it is worth).

I love how a lot of the speeches say that they're "all over this site". If so, why is the Canadian forum so dead?

Another interesting point - why do we have no debate going on?

It seems that the users in Canada have not been so active as compared to other countries. Other than Molson and myself, I am not sure how many users have been actively managing their teams the past two seasons. As a result, there is not too much to talk about.

By my count, we now have 6 users running for the NT coach position. All of them are claiming to be active users. However, other than you, oeuftete and uflorin, none of them are active on the forums. And only oeuftete is running.

I haven't been around long so I do not know Molson.

My belief is that you have to be active on the forums to be considered an active user. I'm not going to vote for someone if he only shows up at NT-election time.

Ok, so tell me more about yourself. How long have you been playing BB for. What is your win-loss percentage? Why would you be a better choice than oeuftete, who finished 2nd in division I last season?

Thats not true about the activity thing. I check my team multiple times every day but I don't feel the need to post my little comments on the forum. I am running for NT coach without much hope of making it but it is something extra because it will get me more involved in the game. I check my team and I am on this game more often than most but by your standards I am barely active just because I don't post.

"Molson" would be my team, the "Molson Canadians" -- and I'm not eligibile to run in the Election :-)
Good luck to you all with the national teams and in the upcoming season!

I agree with you. It is possible that you're the best Canadian tactician. Maybe the most knowledgable Canadian in the game. But how would I know that? You don't post in the forums. There's no way for me to evaluate you except on the basis of your team performance. And oeuftete beats you there.

Also, I want a NT coach that communicates. You should check in with the community every now and then to let us know how we're doing, etc. Otherwise the NT is just about you. In that case, why would I care?

Yo chuck. Just so you don't misunderstand (since you've mentioned my results twice as reasons you're backing me), I was a I.1 finalist this season as a result of a very favourable initial placement of my team and good results while I wasn't paying close attention to my team, followed by active management of my team starting just before the playoffs.
