4 a Day World - Poll Topic

We were talking about this last night so I wanted to see what people thought about a 4 a day world. I'm not sure of the logistics or how it'd actually work. This is a hypothetical scenario. Do you think it would be FUN and are you interested? Don't worry about whether WIS would or could do it. That's another debate. And definitely ignore whether or not EEs will be fixed. Also another debate that we have about 50 threads for.

I'd be down, if it wasn't for the recruiting. I have zero desire to recruit under 3.0 every 10-14 days. In a further observation, I think with the way recruiting structure is now, 4 a day would just be too hectic. Under 2.0 I think it would have been fun without being too much of a burden. Just my 2 cents.

long ago, I suggested the possibility of a turbo world - recruiting cycles every hour, games every hour or two except for an extra hour or two before postseason - you could do a season in a three day weekend....

I was thinking that too. Would be really interesting.

I don't really see the downside to it if people wanted to do it.

It would be really tough to find a hundred people willing to check in every hour over the weekend(or during the week) let alone the average world size of 300ish. That said, from a $$$ standpoint, WifS wouldn't need that many.

I really like the baseball SIM times of 1 AM, 1 PM, 6 PM (EST). I would check my teams every meal....

This is immediately what I thought of. I check my HBD games when I wake up, around lunch, and before I leave work every day. Adding 1 game to that schedule doesn't sound too bad. That being said, I'm not sure how long I'd stick around if I have to re-up four times in the amount of time that I have to re-up once with my Allen team. Very short seasons.

Actually it would be every 6 hours. Not every hour.

I didn't see you quote fd343ny, so it was assumed you were responding to the original poster.

Meh. I thought the "weekend" part covered it. No big deal. We'll both live.

I would definitely be up for something like this. Wouldn't mind going back to the 3 hour recruiting cycles Also, if you're going to have a turbo world, they should also "turbo" the job period. For some teams, especially the ones that get knocked out of the 1st round of the conference tourney and no postseason appearance , the offseason is just too damn long.

The "turbo world" is intriguing. I think it would a complete failure but, if they ran it once a month and made users commit to 3 seasons(at some discount $25 for all three price), it might take some footing. D1 only and you blast thru 10-12 games a day. The downside I see is a user thinks it's a great idea when he's laying around sick or with a hangover but, when it comes around next month, it's a sunny 73 degrees and he'd rather be outside. Abandoned team.
