There is absolutely NO REASON to have 2 teams in the same world ... unless you have teams in all the other worlds.
The ONLY reason to have 2 teams in the same world is to CHEAT.
It should not be allowed, cut and dry.
Sure, one can argue that they are not cheating and would not cheat, etc. And you can choose not to cheat. BUT ... there are enough worlds that it is not necessary to have 2 teams in the same world.
One can build relationships and build up teams in any world ... so, just do it.
The ONLY reason to have 2 teams in the same world is to CHEAT.
this is just an incredibly short sighted statement. really? how many coaches have picked up a second ID to take over a team they love, so they can still achieve their goal of moving up and building a dynasty at a higher level? clearly, there is ABSOLUTELY no merit there, right? what about a coach who doesn't want to have 10 recruiting sessions per year, and would like to condense that to say, 5. there is ABSOLUTELY no merit there, right? what about a coach who doesn't want to play 1 or 2 a day worlds. just totally ridiculous to feel that way right? come on.
A team that you LOVE ... really?
This is a computer generated sheet of numbers. You can LOVE the next excel spreadsheet it generates just as much as the last one.
I am not saying that everyone cheats, just that after 4 seasons there is no one left that was there when you took over, so getting the same team in another world is just fine.
then please explain to me, under your claim that there is absolutely no reason to have teams except to cheat with FSS - absolutely none at all - then why did so many coaches have multiple teams BEFORE FSS EVEN EXISTED????
I am not saying that there are not legitimate reasons to want to have 2 teams in the same world.
If I am coaching in the XYZ conference in Division 3 in world ABC and I like the coaches in the conference, it is absolutely possible that I would want to move to Division 2, because I want to advance and also want to purchase another team in the same world to do both things. The only problem is that FSS, among other things, make it impossible NOT to cheat if you do it.
It is just that by doing that, I have automatically committed collusion. You can not UNLEARN information. You therefore, whether you choose to act on the information or not, entered into an agreement with the coach of another team to provide you information that you would otherwise not have. The other coach is you ...
I am not saying that everyone who has 2 teams in a world is using the information ... I don't know if they are or not. I am saying it should not be allowed.
Of course, you only know that someone is doing it if they tell you ... so I am also not saying anything can be done about it ... except to make people who cheat understand that cheating is cheating :D
