That said if you can tolerate arguing with someone who is clearly insane (hell I have with him for too long) then by all means keep it up as it is quite entertaining sitting back watching someone else call him out on his bullshit!

finally someone that has the same beliefs as me

Pretty much everyone feels that way... most are just too polite to chime in or burnt out on arguing with a lunatic. The fact the no one ever defends yello should indicate what we all think about him.

dude seriously you need to stop. you keep on making yourself look worse and worse.

lets look at this rationally for a second so try to stay with me.

1.) You suggested to raise the teams owned limit from what we have now. and you wanted this because there were so many CPU owned teams in Natty Pro.

these are the points people made that countered your suggestion and these were basically proven that they would work alot better than your suggestion.

1.) Not enough players to actually fill teams so adding more owners would further kill the player pool. thus killing the competition level even more.
2.) League contraction actually taking 32 teams out of Natty Pro and Regional Pro would essentially fix the problem of CPU owned teams and thus would not need your suggestion at all.
3.) Having 9 teams at a time just increases the likelihood of a real life emergency taking an owner away from multiple teams at a time which in turn leads to a bad experience for up to 495 individual agents. It is bad enough when one agent goes inactive and owns a team of 55 different dots, when you expand that number across 9 teams it is devastating to the game you purport to love. A single inactive user ruining that many experiences is far more damaging than a few CPU teams.
4.) Teams who have owners who have their attention spread too thin essentially become the equivalent of CPU teams..
Besides, it would just lead to the sale of or just the abandonment of teams that have losing records midseason.
5.) With 99 leagues there are potentially 174,240 roster spots. Is it your contention that there are 58,000 players, by your estimation 1/3 of all players, that half ass play the game? Really? Based on the players that I see rostered when I scout, the average inactives I see are about 5 or 6. That would put that number closer to 10% which would push the total player population closer to 125k-130k, 45,000-50,000 players off from filling every team that exists now.
Bort could easily contract 20% of all teams in the game, go down to 80 total leagues, and still have homes for every human owned dot. That would still accommodate 154,000 players, more than the player estimates.

and these are just a few key points that showed the flaws in your reasoning.

Hatch those points were valid as to the minor leagues and I conceded that point. What more can I do than say yes you are right, I was mistaken as to a fact (how many CPUs were in the lower leagues, I just looked at the bigs) and concede the point? Yes, as I have said many times now, the minor leagues could take a contraction.

However that fact situation does not apply in the bigs, far lower percentage of CPU teams. So my idea still applies there. And for the reasons I have mentioned the bigs can't be contracted due to numbers and also breaking player "morale" aka generating bad word of mouth about GLB being in decline.

And the CPU teams in the bigs can be picked up by the existing player numbers as I laid out above from players on the deep bench on other teams and owner builds as well as likely draws from the D leagues etc.

We have gone over it hatch. You guys made some points, but others are just wrong. Yes the OP was not needed for the minors. But as to the core leagues I stand by my idea for the valid points I have already made.

Being the laughing stock at the insane assylum is not really something to worry about.

So what am I in this luddite insane asylum? An orderly? The warden? The guy in the straightjacket going on an on about conspiracy theories? The guy who talks to his imaginary friends? Sounds interesting.....

Golf Clap, Been. And only that because its New Years.

You can do better.

But lets not, I want to go tweak teams or maybe go see the sun instead.
