And, finally, a few financial wizard teams like Teams C and Team D -- the only ones who are positioned to fullly understand all these complex financial interactions -- now go collectively to BB developers and "suggest" improvements to the game that suit their interest. If the game is not "improved" as they wish, then they have the power to bring the entire game down through collective, universal financial ruin.

We have a Fed specifically set up for this that even contains 3x BB's. *cough* signature *cough* :D

Time to call Michael Moore!

We've discussed this before, and our policy is basically that there has to be a line past which teams cannot spend, and what better line is there than $0?

There's always going to be a fixed line somewhere, and we've never really seen a reason to establish that line in negative figures - it's always going to be relative, right?

We (the BB team) rarely post in Suggestions threads, as we find that any posts that we make tend to mold the shape of the discussion, and we're much more interested in reading on the forums what the community thinks than how the community reacts to what we think.

In this case, where we've had previous discussion and a concrete policy, I feel comfortable posting this, but if a truly compelling argument is made to allow users to go into debt, we're all ears.

The only reason for something like that are different times of financial expenses and revenues based on country i.e. Monday financial update and gate recipts after match. But then again this could be taken into account (unless technicakl problems postpone something) and there are timezones that make it even trickier (although those times for gate receipts differ even within one timezone) so I think laissez-faire is better choice here.

naker_virus, I gotta disagree. Well it's might be manager's rights to do what he wants but in real life, it's the banks decision if they want to lend money or not. everyone's finance is different and u can't lend money out to ppl just like that it will make BB economy very complex. by lending out money carelessly like that will cause recession as you already see in the U.S and also cause an inflation in market. Another example is the Rudd's 14k first home owner grant, suddenly all every one throw out all their reasoning and happily took up a loan because they want to benefits the 14k, causing a sharp surge in property price.

and As you've seen in previous thread, some canadian dude went negative but can't figure where he f00ked up. i am saying is, for logical ppl is fine but when it fall into the wrong hands......

rephrase....there are alot of dumb ppl in the world and u dont want to see 25k teams go bot because of bankruptcy lol.
