Season 13???

the thing that makes this good is that people don't realize how fast scrims add up... I mean 25 flex doesn't seem like much, a lot of people have that much "extra" flex that they'd just give away... but the pro team I was on had close to 20 scrims last season... minus the 2 free ones you are looking at 450 flex... which is more than the boosting cost of a lineman...

I know a lot of agents wouldn't mind donating a few flex here and there if it ment they got more scrims... the question is: would this lead to more scrims, and can the server handle it?

Added to my list

As an owner, this would be great. I've spent thousands of flex on my team, would be nice to get the other guys to pay for the friendlies (which I'm sure they will )

IMO don't go overboard on "what if the team sells." Let an Agent see how much flex is in the bank before donating so teams don't go overboard, and enforce a "once it's in, it's lost" rule for the bank.

Also, need to ask the question - is this only for scrimmages.

And if so, that isn't much for a flex bank... Could think of more flex options for teams, such as subforums for their team forum (50 flex), scrimmage offense vs. defense, GLB sanctioned tournaments (every team puts in 200 flex, winning teams get % of the flex bank; just have to watch out for collusion I guess), new stadium options, etc.

Awesome. This would be great for things like scrimmages. More and more owners are shelling out for tourney's it would help out to have something like this.

Random idea (might work better) since it's only for friendlies:

Instead of "depositing" fp into the bank, make it so you can add your name to a list of users who pay for friendlies, and when one is accepted it takes the 25 points split evenly from everyone on the list, rounded so the owner pays the extra 1 or 2 when you can't split evenly.

That way, you'd avoid any issues with "what if the owner sells the team."

Also make it so it can only be used by users who have earned more than 400 FP in their lifetime. Gets rid of the multi problem immediately.

Seeing as all boosts/customs are multiples of 100, subforums are of 50, and returns are 70%, the current user cannot end up with anything but a "0" at the end of their flex.

Thus paying 3 for a friendly off of this "list" is basically like making them pay 10.. until they do a few of them, etc., to get past the next multiple of 10, in which case their cost jumps to 20.

Heck, take a guy who still isn't doing retirements yet, and his nice 4000 flex just fell to 3998. You basically took the entire 100 away from him, because that 98 is now totally worthless unless he wants another subforum (lol)

Just seems weird to me....

I do see your concern about multis, though. Or inactive guys giving a password to the owner before leaving, dumping all of their 2000 flex leftover in, and the team has free friendlies for life, etc.

Put a cap on how much an agent can "donate" at a time. Say 4 friendlies worth.

Some agents who have retired players who boosted have like weird numbers like 1140 or 2180 let them donate 5 at a time to the bank and they can even out their own flex in the mean time.

Hm, yeah I see your point Octowned. Deposit and gone is probably the best method to avoid any problems with figuring out who owns what.

I'd say if it's limited to players who've gotten more than 400 FP and there's a max to donate in a time period...like 200 per season or something like that...it would cut off the multi problem and limit the "I'm quitting, here's my flex" problem.

Yeah, a per season cap is a good idea.

And can't anybody make a multi and let them get over 400 FP based on the seasonal bonuses? Plenty of people have multis with 2000+ flex by now without spending a dime, trust me... Though I guess the 400 rule does limit people from creating a player, signing them, and instantly depositing, but it doesn't stop somebody from creating a player today and using them NEXT season.

Maybe the depositors need to have a player on the team, and one in the "suggested level range" for the league, or something similar. So a Pro team can't sign a level 5 ringer.

Or maybe I'm just being absurd, but I try to look at things from a business perspective.

(Speaking of business perspective, I sent you something via. the support channel a few weeks ago, really wanted to get in touch.. in case you never saw that come through.)
