1. When WifS asks me to run their business, I'll provide them with solutions. Until then, we have to play by THEIR guidelines. They have taken the stance of not closing worlds(which I said I could argue for or against such actions).

2a. I'd detard HBD real quick. Public worlds with 120 game winners or losers would close immediately. BOOM! They are closed. Those are the rules, no ******** if it happens to your world. A new world would be generated in it's place thus giving n00bs a learning ground with a fairly level playing field. Private worlds can remain open as long as they want but, if they go public to fill, they are under the same rules as every public world.

2b. I can't PERSONALLY solve every problem. But I can provide logical solutions that would work. The governing body, WifS, or fellow owners would have enact the policies.

You'd stay in business for about a month that way.

The truck driver to IT leap is pretty much unheard of, regardless of how much you've posted on a message board.

Be a newbie "Know it all" - assume you know more than the owners who have been playing for years and ignore their advice. This will help other owners "trade rape" you. When a trade gets vetoed throw a hissy fit about it being your team then agree to the same trade with a worthless minor leaguer added by the rapist. Be sure to drop out of wifs after one year, leaving the mess to the next "know it all newbie"



ALIAS REVEALED!!!

GRIV=PLAGUE!!!

How so? Public worlds would clean up their trash or the owners would simply join private worlds if they didn't want it to happen to them.

And I'm sure you know that only about 20% of the current worlds are public, right? So, in a 3 month season, I'm going to go out of business in a month because, under the absolute worst case scenario, 20% of my business is removed?

Of course I'd have shut down Foxx. I just gave you MY guidelines. WifS will not. There have been just as bad, if not worse, and they have filled one way or another.

FWIW, that world is filling up rather quickly. Bunch of "new" users. I don't think we'll do a damn thing to "fix" it. WifS should change the name to "Alias Nation" and move on. I'm convinced that many of the "new" teams are holdovers who heard about the idea to "clean it up."

Nonetheless, what, exactly, should WifS' policy be? If x-number of owners say "Damn, that world is f'd up" just close it down? Close down worlds with x-number of openings?

Provide a solution, or at least a suggestion, instead of ******** about what others are doing.

As opposed to some I had not been so pretentious as to outline a solution for wifs - only to point out what the users should not be trying to solve a problem that belongs to wifs.

However, if you want a solution here is a possible outline

(1) No public leagues - all leagues to have commissioners who are responsible to wifs for maintaining balance in the league (in theory like it should work in MLB). The commish will receive a free season for each year he is the commish that league. Any league that loses it commissioner has one appointed by wifs with the advice and consent of the league. If in wifs opinion the league becomes unbalanced wifs will remove the commissioner and replace with the commish with who ever they see fit. The commish will retain the power to remove owners at rollover.

(2) All leagues not filling in one week must consider newbie owners and will be listed as available leagues - but admittance will be through the commissioner like a private league. The commish must maintain a 33% admittance rate for newbies.

(3) Wifs will stop playing games with alias - they can tell if 2 "owners" are likely the same person and have choosen not to act on most of these - at a minimum they should be notifying the commissioners of each league of potential risks.

In short all leagues have commissioner, all commissioers are "paid" and act as wifs agents to keep their leagues clean, failed commissioners are removed, and wifs more actively monitors for conflicts and alias via discussions with its agent/commissioners.

They are using bornlosers credits :) It is amazing how many spots filled with "new users" the past day.

New Guys World is probably headed down the same road, if they don't remove their current commissioner. But of course there will be worlds like this. The only thing to do is

1) leave it
2) hope the owners see what is going on
3.) don't give a hoot, and ignore the situatio
