I'm interested (just for curiosity's sake) what is motivating people to join this idea here and now, and why the thought of adding (yet another) team to your aresenal hadn't occured to you until today?

That is an interesting question


and a real simple answer...it looks like some or most of the owners on the list were already looking to possible add a team...but the problem is with the amount of openings these worlds have nobody wants to sign up and just wait it out...hince the idea of putting together a group of owners willing to jump in all at once and roll the world.

thanks for the responses so far

I think that Mike's post about "group mentality" is the clear winner, although people will undoubtedly throw out others ... to wit:

"Worlds with 10 openings take a long time to fill otherwise" - nobody said you had to join a world with 10 openings ... plenty of private worlds roll every week with single digit openings and are looking for owners

"With this group, we almost insure a quality world" - again, many quality worlds roll every week and are often in search of a replacement or two

and not to reiterate this enough, I have ZERO issue with this idea ... it doesn't affect me whether it is done or not ... and anything that sells more HBD teams (and at full price don'tcha know) is good for business

I think most of us expect to get flawed teams. I, for one, like a challenge. And, in this case, I'll be competing against a group of peers who will be starting in a similar position. If I took a team in a single opening league, I'm not competing on equal footing with a dozen owners like I will be in this case.

another good point, I suppose ... of course, not all re-builds are created equal, so I don't think you will get the Utopia of equal footing with the rest of your invaders

True...but when worlds are created they are not all on equal footing either...I think it is more of the mentality that we are all taking into the experience.



if I might offer one suggestion as an curious observer ... I would LOVE if your chosen world had an owner where that world is his only HBD team, and where he has won 105+ games for like 4 seasons in a row

I want to see how someone like that handles not being the big fish in the little pond anymore

and we have already discussed this a few pages back...I expect that to go one of two ways either the guys is going to accept the challenge of beating a good owner...or he is going to get ****** about me turning around the worst team in the league and beating him with it and quit.
