So, let me get this straight... Are you guys saving all your fake money for when Lebron James becomes a free agent in 2010?

No, we are saving our money to buy more stadium and pay for our player's equipment upgrades.

Bort's also working on other things for players to spend money on such as the "fame" system which looks cash intensive.

But your squad is made up of level 10-13's. Basically, it looks like a first year team. Who on that team is going to garnish any "fame?"

We have too much work left to do w/ the roster right now. We will revisit our stadium once the season starts. The free agent market is insane right now. Recruiting is a full time job.

- The training system will be getting an overhaul:

Each player will have a "day planner" with which they can schedule different things to do with their time every day. This will include training attributes just like now, going shopping, going to team meetings, persuing endorsement deals, etc. Each thing you can do will cost cash and take energy away from the amount gained per day, but will give you different abilities to change your player's performance and morale, or your team's chemistry and teammate morale.

Intense training will cost less, will cost a little less energy, and will have a new bonus that you can't get with relaxed training. Basically, something to make it worthwhile and strategic to do something other than "relaxed" sometimes.

- One thing I think we are lacking is player recognition and reputation, as in "who are the big names?" Therefore, players will have a new "fame" rating.

You'll build up fame points over time for doing various things like playing well against similar or better competition, signing high value contracts, using certain training options (from above), etc. - basically the kind of stuff famous players do. Details aren't 100% hashed out yet. I'll probably do something to generate a base value for existing players based on their histories.

There will be a "most famous" page to compete with your friends over, haha.

Fame will help your player gain endorsement deals, command a higher salary, and high levels of fame will help you gain deals from top flight companies. Endorsement deals will give players access to special equipment that would not be available otherwise.

It is a first year team. I got this team 4? games into last season with all of the "skill" position players removed by the previous owner and 90% of the starters demanding to be released.

Thanks! Same to you.

We don't feel disadvantaged. Most of us have known each other for a decent amount of time before GLB existed. We're building as a team with (hopefully) complementary builds and team strategy in mind.

Well that changes everything in my book and makes the sparring much less fun to read. It's hard as hell to turn around an existing team in my opinion, good luck in deed.

HEY NOW!

We're no charity case. We'll get this thing moving in the right direction or die trying. We're not afraid to take some lumps. We think we're making progress. We have no reason to believe that we'll stop progressing or even regress.

You are certainly an active owner and that is half the battle right there.

Yes, you are making progress. Yes you are turning things around. I respect you taking over the team in the situation it was left with...but I think you need 3 more seasons to compete in this league. Maybe if you drop down again next season...wait we are A league so no dropping down. Well, you will get the hang of it. Oh damn, you are screwed.

Take a pile of active people out of a pool of 100 or so who already have spent around a year together in another game?

What is recruiting? No one is our roster will ever ask to be released, and all we care about contract wise is whatever benefits the team as a whole. Building from level 1 together, and a single minded entity.

You cannot resist us, we are the borg. Resistance is futile.

Actually, we enjoy the flames, it feeds our ego's.
