Perpete & Manon & Trainerman: Thanks for your answers. But you could understand that I proposed this idea almost 6 months ago. Thus I found the time a bit long and I am not going to repeat myself each week. ;)

Here's an idea: make an AI for the bot teams. The only thing the AI would do is invest in the draft, train players and set its lineup. It wouldn't buy any players because I don't think anyone would want to compete with a 100 000 bot teams on the transfer list. The AI wouldn't just train its players randomly; it would focus on its best trainees and tailor the training to the player's position. As well, there could be a salary limit placed on the AIs players. Once players on a bot team surpass a certain salary or TSP, they would be automatically placed on the transfer list, which would provide a steady stream of skilled free agents. The salary limit could be different depending on the bot's division, so that bots in higher divisions would be able to retain higher salary players.

Not a good idea
It's already counter productive to train players
The one thing that helps is the players you train right can be sold for quite a bit
flooding the market with these guys would blow that out of the water

Now Egypt got only one manager... it has been Misr-able for them now :(

I hate to say it but trainer man is right and your right as well.

BB need to see.

If its not making money close it down. Look at this from a business perspective. Those empty countries are not making money and are suppose to be making income? People are not blind they can see a whole league of bot and say " damn ,why am paying for this? Is this a sham.? I quit.

People want competition or bang for their buck. From a business perspective. you and trainer man are 100% right. close those empty countries down and put them next one nearest that has members. It hurt revenue, when people see this or staying paying/ power.

BB is about revenue.. I would lean on what been said in the app that market is really empty, Its really easy money. This could create a vast number of new users in countries. Some new users will be willing to pay supporters after some time.. I don't know about 40$ but I think 20$ is the sweet spot for a new sign up member..

On revenue/buisness side you guys are 100% right it hurting the game . It like a sham is going on. When thats not really the honest case to moot.

Nice of you to agree with me. However, I don't recall saying close down micronations. And before anyone agrees with me for saying keep them, I didn't say that either.

Interestingly quite a few micronations added users last week. I could say Ghana's users increased by 33% last week, but the difference between 3 users and 4 users is probably not making a difference to the playing experience for them.

Also increasing by 1 were Barbados, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Jamaica(who now have enough people to fill one division), and Cyprus. That's in the countries with less than 30 users. My personal belief is that all this information is irrelevant. But then I felt this thread was irrelevant from the very beginning. So I'm on topic.

In all, 27 countries added users last week. 29 lost users.

There are 136 players in Sweden, 122 in all the countries with 10 or less players.

258 players in Taiwan, 261 in countries with 11-20 players.

337 players in Australia, 341 in countries with 21-50 players.

Just numbers. Is a bigger country more important than a smaller one? In actual sport I would hope not. In a game that's run presumably to make money. Perhaps.

I think if I do have a point, and in reality I don't think I do, its that the micronation problem is perhaps not killing BB.

sorry to confuse I said they should close them, from a buisness perspective they made to make money and they are not. it would be wise to do something about it or close them. I do agree with both of your statement though

Second country with no active teams: Misr
