Plus a couple of people were put off by the concept that if you make a trade or sign a free agent (or manipulate FA by bidding on players that aren't your own and keeping their asking price high) that you'd be kicked out of the world.

Shocking that people have a problem with rules and their being enforced, but whatever.

ALSO ALSO...meant to mention this before, but I think the OP is a bornlosers alias.

145 current openings. 

Oh no.

11 worlds have rolled in the last week.  Worlds are filling.

Almost a week past this, though the content remains true...11 worlds have rolled in the last week.

Hunter and ABU need to figure out a way to merge..  I dont see either world filling without a merge.  Hunter went public and that will just make the world even more unbalanced.  I think the TARD teams in the worlds are against the merge because they're fearful that they wont get to win their usual 110 wins every season.  I've been reading the chatboard and one of their solutions is for WIS to dump 16+ bots in so they can play right away..  You really think WIS would do this?  Do you think you're ever get back to 32 human ran teams after a bot makes these teams worse by not signing FA's or setting up a draft board.

I don't think WifS has auto-GM set up.    So they can talk that all they want.  Ain't happening.

Good lord, that sort of defeats the whole purpose of playing this game.

I hope WiS never makes HBD bots

Too complicated for bots to be programmed so they're anything more than placeholders. Playing bots would be like playing on a "very easy" difficulty setting. I don't see any way they can reliably judge talent, just think how it would handle the draft or intl's, or budgetting...

I will happily join both worlds if they pay for 5 seasons per world for me.

Looks like a couple more worlds filled today.

Absolutely true.  One guy (not the commish) saw a team being "run by the AI" in a different world, so now he has sent in a ticket to CS asking them to fill ABU's 18 openings with bots.  Nobody knows what they're doing over there.

This also gives me a funny mental image of some guy playing against 31 other bots.

This guy?

He kind of stands out, doesn't he?
