That's your problem, with Yello's ideas, you have to pace yourself as there will just be another three or four tomorrow.

you are definately right

Your analogy lacks a key quality - being at all similar to the facts being discussed.

My suggestion creates no new teams (aka malls or store fronts). It merely expands the population of parties who are able to control them (aka allows people to work the existing store fronts).

Your better analogy would be to say that the existing open store fronts are begging for customers and barely making it each season, and that the CPU become human owned teams would create yet more stores fighting over the small customer base. However as noted in my last reply, the number of customers is more than enough to keep all the stores in the black and in fact reopening the shuttered storefronts would revitalize the shopping district and create new customers as well.

It creates GM's and managers, but not employees to staff them nor added customers to shop.

Then again, by your argument - we can hire babies, the infirm, criminals and other poor quality employees just to staff the store to say it's 'full'

Lets get to the brass tacks.

There are 116700 players whose agents logged into the game in the last three days (per search). Thats obviously less than the number of active players in the game since I have inactive guys on my roster all the time who stop in once or twice a week who would not necessarily show up on this search.

There are 59 leagues, each with 32 teams. If we say each must have 55 players then the total TOTAL player demand of GLB at this time is 103840.

There you have it. There are at least 13,000 players ACTIVE players, hiding out in the D leagues.

Those 19 Pro teams that are CPU would take 1045 players to max out, or less than ten percent of the available players.

Fin.

There are 59 REGULAR leagues. You forgot the 30 casual leagues and 10 pee wee leagues. Since those 40 leagues draw from the same player pool as regular leagues, your entire argument is fail.



Ah too right as to the oversight, ya got me didnt see that.

But thats not saying there are not enough players. The 116K are only the player who have logged in during the last three days.

Hmmmm. No way to use search to get a figure on how many players are active but didn't sign in the last three days.

Well I guess we are back to guess and opinion after all.

Bah, thought we had it figured out.

The players dont decide the game changes, Bort does.

Besides a good discussion is always fun. Its only when it gets into silly gainsaying or repetitive that it gets boring.



I have to admit, I'm enjoying reading this one.

Its civil and trying to deal with facts. Always better.

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.

Can you believe I lost a recruit to one of yello's teams?

Not loggin in the last three days is not half assed playing the game. Not in the last part of off season. If my dot is plateaued and under contract, I got nothing to do then, why log in? I have team members dope off in the off season routinely.

But I have to say I looked into the lower level leagues a bit and I have to agree some league contraction would be in order down there. I had not realized CPU was so prevelant at that level. One league is 31 empty teams. Thats pretty bad.

But the 19 Pro leagues should be open to purchase by anyone who wants to buy them, 10 team owners or not, per the OP.

So I see your point, and agree with it, but there should still be something else done about the openings in the Bigs which is my OP idea.

Can one of you greasemonkey guru's please build me a script that changes the title of anything yello guy posts in suggestions forum to "dumb suggestion"........ this way I just don't have to read them? Thanks in advance!

+1....I would love to be able to own 4 casual teams...
