@mikelsen that would work too. I dont expect much abuse actually. Its just precaution.

@Eagleblast, yeah i considered it, but there are pros and cons. The number of threads created will decline once the league officially started, but for the time being this forum reaches the most people and not a far off external site, that only a few will ever visit. Once the league is running and has a steady fanbase it`s a different matter.

Question About Player Salary:

As a potential Player, why would I want to exact a larger fee than the minimum per my band?

A personally higher player salary will only strap my team for cash and weaken it overall, plus cause us to lose the team with the most money category.

Below idea is to sorta add capitalism to the mix:

A combined Free Agent/Auction system - Example: Team 1 has MVP1 on his team at a salary. Then, at the next round, the Team 1 Manager has first right to either give the player a set minimum raise (~5%) or keep the salary the same, or drop him.

Then;
-If the player gets a minimum raise, then he's retained for the next season and no longer a free agent.
-If he's dropped, any manager can buy him for the minimum price.
-If he's kept the same, he becomes a free agent and other team managers can buy the player for a set minimum raise (~10%). The player must transfer to the higher bidder. If no other managers want to pay the premium, then he stays on the same team.

hi John - well, in the 'winning' section of the wiki, we say that players are judged (in large part) on how much money they make.

there is a 'prize' for being the richest player - we will rank players on how much they are paid over the season.

(so yes, winning the league, and winning your games, are also good, but we think that this ranking will make players ask for the best salary they can get - after all, it is about the only cost to the clubs - if the manger doesn't pay you well, he just uses the money to pay another player well).

Oh, I though the highest money prize was only to the club.

I saw the club had other expenses such as "Club Improvements" that as a Team Player, I'd rather have a better team with nice improvements.

The prize for player will help players demand money, thanks!

We will also introduce some RPG elements, so that earning more money will make sense.

Heck sorry just saw I posted in the wrong place - so many threads >.<

Copy - paste:

Hi myhand first - good on you and everyone helping set this up it really is a novel and interesting idea.

My first observation on the player division is that the classes have unequal numbers of players i.e 10 class 3 players - 4 class 2 players etc.

There are 6 teams right? I think anyway. So every team can't have a player from each class. How do you plan to keep the teams of equal strength? (I know truely equal isn't possible - but i'm guessing you are aiming for fairness?)

Edit 15 class 3s

Hi good job of organising myhand and unknown...
When do we hear what Home Map the managers have picked?
Or is the home map and settings not permanent for the season but temporary and can change every game?

Ska - there are 4 teams in Season Beta.

we rated players as best we could, it just happened there they fell into those categories. if managers really want a player, they will have to bid more than th other teams (and therefore have less so spend on the rest of the squad).

The map will be like your stadium
The club will be able to add a heated lawn for a few dollars (change settings on the map, but rebuilding the stadium will be more expensive (changing map)

I think I know what Gui's 'stadium' will be. :p

NOH!
CHINA GIEF TURTLE HEAD PAIN!

Would be cool if some Manager chose Middle Earth or Westeros as home turf. Or would those be too big? Westeros is also a bit imbalanced... :/
You as the organizers will probably want to have a say in the choice of stadiums, right?

If I was a manager I would pick the duel map as 'stadium'.

The "stadium" has to be approved by the league commision. Duel will definitely not.

That's why I brought that map up since that is the worst example I could come up with, it does make me wonder though what criteria will you use to approve or disprove a map?

What happens when 2 teams choose the same home map?

then both happen to have the same home map

Having the same home map as another team would be kind of dull and ruin the advantage being on your home map. At least two teams should not be able to have identical home maps including settings etc.

Well I'm all for variety so I hope there will be lots of different "stadiums" but approving one manager's choice while denying another one's of the same map is just arbitrary.

On what time will the game's be?
