As we all know, there are going to be a lot of worlds with a lot of openings in the very near future. Well, 'tis the season to be jolly. And I like a challenge.

The idea:
A group of solid owners(8-10, at least) will take over downtrodden teams in one of these worlds. We'll commit to the world until we get our chosen team over .500(or longer if you choose to stay).

Returning this world to respectability will be our Christmas gift to the HBD community.

IF there's enough interest, we'll choose the world as a group. If not, I'll write it off as a dumb idea and move on.

Take your shots or express your interest.

Updated. And, if possible, throw in some mocking or ridicule next time. Because that's what I expected.

Hmm...I really like the idea. I would certainly have interest. Would not be able to take over a team until mid-January (as per our conversation in Coop), but if it takes you that long to get this rolling, you can count me interested.

nah I do enough of that...plus I have been very loud about the problem so I'm willing to show that I will take a part in a fix...but I will say that 8-10 of us isn't enough...other people or WIS is also going to have to do their part.

If you're willing to go on the record as saying "tis the season to be jolly", I'll jump on board

Serious question: what constitutes a "solid owner"?

Lack of one and dones. Respectable record(all .500 records aren't the same). Acceptable to the chosen world.

Yeah, and not only that, but taking on some abandoned teams has pulled down my record, and gets logged as a one-and-done.
