Thanks for your note!
The entry level game I have been working on would have non-SIM and SIM players playing our game in literaly minutes from when they logged on to our web site and with a team they drafted and in an interesting competition! This would revolutionize the process of getting people involved in the game. In the past waiting for a Launch league to fill and drafting for 2- weeks turned off far too many prospective managers used to choosing a game and playing NOW.

I believe we would be pissing in the wind until we can make a real splash. At which point we could have a full time staff and do REAL customer service and RETAIN our new hard-earned managers.

There are ways to come up with money to do marketing, but I have seen too much money wasted trying to get people to try SIM over the years. I woudl like to do it right for once!

This is the best Hobby for guys like us. And we all know there are a lot of us out there.

At tis point my plan is to not contract RT and find the easiest way possible todeal with the unmanaged teams.
Possibly having a friend of mine field trades during prescribed "trading periods" for unmanaged teams. Only the best trade offers that helped the unmanaged teams in the future would be accepted.
