as much as I like this game I think it really caught them by surprise just how big it was gonna be so quick lol...... but I give them credit they seem to be trying their best to address all the issues as they arise.... (see Bort.. we really do appreciate all your (and the others) hard work)... and of course if flattery helps maybe I can get a team....... LMAO

See, I'm with you here. I'll admit to only scanning the thread, so forgive me if I missed something, but I have no issue waiting behind a guy who has been in the game weeks (heck, even days) longer than I have, but it's going to chap my ass if I'm waiting behind a guy who got in the game weeks AFTER me, but happened to be online when Bort releases the waiting list.
I think all my teammates would agree that I'm very active, but I still have a wife, a job, family, etc...and I'll also admit that no matter what decision is reached, someone is going to feel like they got jobbed.
But I will propose another idea (if Bort is even going to read this). A tiered waiting list. Say, those in the game 50+ days are on list one, 40+ on list two, 30+ on list three, etc, etc. Vets might lose out on the teams they want, but at least they aren't losing out to guys who have been playing half as long.

Oh, I'm sure Bort and DD are going to get plenty of hate mail, sadly.

It is supposed to be a tiered waiting list- those who have had accounts of 30 days or longer, and those under 30 days. You can't get a team until you surpass the 30 day mark, and then it goes based on where you are on the list signed up at. So let's say I am first (I have been on for 26 days). There are 1000 new teams, and a guys with an account for 31 days signs up 1000th. He will get the team before me because he qualifies, while I don't. However, once I hit 30 days, I would IMMEDIATELY be able to get the next team.

I understand that. That's not my point. My point is that a guy who has been on for 30 days can trump a guy who has been on for 60 days for no other reason than he happened to be around when Bort dropped the list. While the idea Bort put out there is much better than making it a free for all, I don't believe it's as fair as it could be.

Well, if you have been on here 2 months, then you have had plenty of chances to get a team- they created a bunch to start the game, and then they created even more for season 2. I'm also calling BULLSHIT ON TWO MONTHS! I will give you 45 days, but not any more than that!!!
