It's okay for Joehan to do it, but not Mick?

What Joehan did was asking me to join Aquopolis in Season 3, then echse rejected me, so we agreed to open an own team in the next season with Fritz. Joey never asked foreign players by himself, the ones we had were my signings because there weren't good free agents from UK. Joeys signings were e.g. called Cheese, mlfaijati or last but not least Ogre - great UK guys which our beloved captain signed there ye. (-:

I just don't see any future in your system of signing players. A UK guy gets captaincy, then runs over to the YeS TS asking team captains who to sign from their teams (Mick wasn't the first one who asked me) - that really is the perspective you like to see on FM for the future?
I didn't expect anything else, Ragie (-:
FM is becoming more and more boring and captains are signing YeS players with one significant difference to YeS teams: rather none of them care for FM as they do for YeS. I really like the community but the only one who didn't fail in building such a team was OvoXo. I'm gonna regard the development of Starlights and Mick's team, good luck with that but stop asking me which players you could or should sign. If you want them, build a relationship to them as Ovo did and still does to his players.

I have signed YeS players as Deimos and KingKong, but if i see them hanging out at my channel more then at their YeS channel, i think they might be enjoying themselves more in our channel.

My first signings were players i know from day 1 i started playing Haxball, Suarez#09, Zerothree, Stefan. I just wanted to make a fun team, which also could compete for the championship. As i promised MoMo when taking over Bayer, that i was going to get Bayer back to the top and also have a fun team, i think things worked out great for us so far.

Don't tell me you can't find people to play with- of course you can just let them play together for reasonable amount of time and you can produce good result

Each situation is different, I don't know the British market like you, and seeing others are doing the best possible teams we can't be behind them. Live or die.

define 'participation'

what communal things do we do where plays can actively participate in the 'community'

posting on a forum is not participating in a community

etc etc

Seems like captains are far too lazy to look for UK players, and let's be honest now, looking at chat box, how many active uk players who are freeagents come online? In season 3 there were loadsssss, but now pretty much everyone has a team, maybe thde odd signorelli , so back to the point, which I don't see anywhere. I find it hard to replace UK players for my players who I genuinley like and have a good relationship with just to increase the number of UK players in a. UK based league.

We are active and we want to compete, we're having fun, maybe that's a quality only a few captains can have like myself , Lek, Tstrj, some teams focus so much on signing foreigners that don't even care.

My point in the end of this is, focus on building a team from scratch, and with friends that the competition. Whether its UK or Foreign players you have, if they're active we're all happy
