Would it be possible (or productive) to have a maximum wait time in the off-season for a World to fill to lets say 30 days and then have WIS fill the available franchises with "Dummy" accounts so that the season gets started? My current World has been waiting since before Halloween to start and we still need 4 more. These "dummy" accouts could just operate like the AI does and no trading. I dont have alot of HBD experience so Is this a ridiculous idea?

SIMMY does a pretty poor job of managing a team.    The AI would have to be upgraded.   A lot.

>> Eventually the league is filled with nothing but simmy-run teams and a few actual owners content to pad their records by staying in such a league and beating up on simmy. <<

So what? Who care? If that's what they want to pay their money to do, good for them.

Many games work fine with sims. I don't know anything about GD. Maybe the sim logic is poor? Sim logic in HBD is poor. Wouldn't be hard to make it little better.

Even if it isn't, owners wouldn't be forced to play in worlds with them.     

That said, I think the owners that did choose to play with SIMAI teams would fill the "Complaint forum" up in a matter of days.

It would make borderline iffy worlds even worse, because jerk owners who only care about building super-teams and winning free seasons could just drive out most/all the human owners and beat up on SIMMY. It'd take a couple of years, but so does a well-executed tanking strategy.
