- The list is ordered by account creation date, up to 30 days back. If two accounts are at least 30 days old, it's ordered by the day you add yourself to the list.


If the list just comes up one day randomly people who werent online at the time will be extremely upset. Every minute is going to count l0l.

Yes, but fairest way is to announce when the list is going up so those that want it can try and be online at that time to get on it first.

As opposed to putting it up randomly and it's complete good luck for some and just unfair for others.

That's right, because no one who plays this game has a job, has to sleep or anything else to do with their lives.

I'm glad someone gets it. I bought a blackberry just so I can be logged on 24/7, and my life has been better for it.

You really HAVE to put in roster maximums Bort. Some teams have way more players than they can use and some teams are letting players "rot" intentionally when they decide they have a gripe with the player's owner.

The major complaints with the game are players who can't get playing time and teams who can't get players.


A maximum roster size would help alleviate both problems. In addition, it would reduce the participates that give up because their players never get playing time thereby increasing the size of the game. I assume that is what you want.



This is almost so logical, I can't believe it hasn't been done yet. By all means, a roster size maximum is a must. The benefits of such far outweigh anything that could be a negative. Definitely institute this idea!

Your ranking on the list is based on the day you created your account, not the time you signed up for the list.

It's based on both. If your account has been around for more than 30 days, and so has someone else's, the tiebreaker is when you got on the list.

Those who have had an account for more than 30 days will be automatically ahead of those with less days.

The whole idea doesn't really matter much to me because I have no intention of buying a team, but I don't quite understand the point of this:

- It costs 500 FP to hold your spot on the list.

- Whenever somebody sells a team, the first person on the list with that team's region as one of their options, who also has 500 FP to pay for the other half of the team, will get the team automatically at the end of the day. The person then pays 500 FP to cover the second half of the team cost (the first 500 to get on the list covers the first half)


It still costs 1000 FP to buy a team. By requiring only 500 down there will undoubtedly be situations where someone gets on the list, a team comes up for sale but that person forgot to have the extra 500 FP he needed to get the team. So he gets skipped and complains on the forums. Just require the entire 1000 FP up front instead of telling people, "pay 500 FP now and then make sure to keep 500 FP unused for an undetermined amount of time." With 100% refund when removing oneself from the list there's really no downside, and it'll prevent some idiocy.

Plus, people are still asking if the 500 is in addition to the 1000 or part of it. Make it a one-time transaction for the full price. It's just simpler for everyone.

I think that all can agree that the fair idea is the one that makes you come up with a set amount of FP to hold your spot. I agree with MongkeKhan. There is enough time for any player that is interested in ownership to invest in 1000 points to hold their spot. This way we all know that the person is really interested.

Im kind of confused, so if person A just joined and got first on the list, and person B joined season 1 and got on the list after him person B would be put first.
Then person C comes in and he joined when the site was created so hes gets put ahead of everyone. What would be the point of getting on the list early if your just going to be pushed back?

Then people have to set aside the full 1000 for who knows how many months before they get a team, if they arent bright enough to keep 500+ in their account once they get on the list oh well..

The asking if 500 is in addition to the 1000 will just turn into asking if its 2000 now, I don't think there is much that can be done to reduce the amount of idiocy

There isn't one, that's the point. People who have been waiting longer have been in the game longer.
