Would a league requiring you to win at least 70 games every season be any fun? If you got kicked out it wouldn't even necessarily be disgraceful and you could be let back in after sitting out a season. Wouldn't be designed to just help stop tanking, but might be challenging/fun. What do you all think?

Not such a bad idea if you could set your budget freely in S1 of your team.   Constant 6m/14m will leave you with a bunch of turnstile teams that never get on track.  But there would be a lot of turnover.  Probably 5 to 8 per season for win rule.  Plus the inevitable departures that have nothing to do with win totals.

A couple of hurdles, building on what Mike said..

You would have to get a pass on the newbie rule, and the turnover rule they put on the last new world.

It would be ideal if the teams that miss the win minimum will give up their teams after the regular season so the new owners could take over and work off their budgets.

I think the teams that start out being loaded are really set up to dominate. They can focus on internationals and scouting, while the other teams will be scrambling to win 70.

And, Im woking on getting new world approval. Get in line.

Didn't say it had to be a new world necessarliy (although probably) nor did I say I was getting ready to start one. So no more of that. Just comments on whether its a good/bad hypothetical.

A mediocre team would only ever be an unlucky season away from the boot.

relax. i was joking.

But this wouold ONLY work in a new world. No way youd get buy in with an existing world. One owner doesnt agree with the change, and you couldnt enforce it. If its a known world from the start, you'd be good.

I dont think youd have a problem getting owners initially. I do think you may have problems filling teams that are truly craptastic after a couple seasons. 

You would need WIS to modify their new world requirements.

What about a world where the bottom 2 (or, 3 or 4..) owners get booted each season, regardless? Maybe similar idea.

I think both world be a good idea, resulting in a quality world.

We already have those.  They're called 'tarded up public worlds.   The bottom 2, 3, 4 are turnstiles.

Or what might be a fun addition to the game would be a soccer type league.  Where you have A division, B division, C division, D division.  D would be the worst teams, A would be the elite teams.  So if you are the bottom 3 or 4 your team would be relegated to the next lower division, if you have a top 3 or 4 team you advance to the next higher division.  You would keep your complete organization top to bottom, you would simply change divisions (worlds) if you are at the top or bottom of your worlds standings.  Id think that would be very cool.  I know its nothing like real life.  And I guess for it to work it would have to be 4 all new worlds created all at the same time.  Or if there were 4 current worlds where the vast majority of the owners voted yes to join this setup.

I dont know, in reality it might prove to be too difficult to accomplish properly, but I think it would be cool.

Nice idea, however..... turd, meet punchbowl....

Admin has nixed the idea of moving entire teams under any circumstances, except world merging.

I proposed a world were the worst team every season gets eliminated, a few years ago.  There was no interest.
