prizes...

[bradleykent]

we need prizes. maybe a t shirt, key chain, new car... at least something for being the best in a league. or maybe have a ranking system for mogul points that result in certain prizes being given out. i love the game, but it sure would be nice to have something to shoot for outside of pride. otherwise, keep up the good work on the game. its awesome. see ya brad.

It would be great--but nearly impossible. How could we safely account for collusion?

Sunzfan is exactly right (again). What about commissioners who have their own private league, and move all the players to their team so they are stacked and win?

Enough variables to fill up my hard drive---

what if there were say super leagues. Run as public leagues. You have open sign ups once a month or so and you have no idea which team or league you will be in. Have the Players shuffled so everyone has a fair chance and equilize all cities. That way you may not be paired in the same league as your buddies. after maybe 5 years or so give the top owners in each league an option to switch to a champions league. Maybe make this a free league that will not go against there account. That way it is like a reward for being at the top of your league. allow a possible of 1 champion league team for a standard subscriber
2 for a silver and 3 for a gold. This would also make for very active leagues. Have a section on the home page for the top owners in the community. We always see the mogul points but what do they really mean to everyone. they are not getting me any extra players or recognition. heck i'm just happy if i make the playoffs with some of my teams. I really could careless about the mogul points now and this might get more people interested in the point system

iiiiiiiii like it

It would be very difficult for us to do. Cheating would certainly be an enormous problem, as there would finally be something to motivate cheating.

At this point, having the free leagues would probably not be a problem, but what happens when our membership reaches a higher level? We cannot afford to have a 100 free leagues. If we did that, it would be tough to fill up normal leagues...and the whole process would be messed up.

We are trying to eventually implement a Mogul Point Standings type thing that shows the leaders throughout the entire game. But it is very difficult, and probably won't occur soon.

Plus the system would likely have to be average based as longevity would serve as the only term to grade upon if it were not...

Ok if you can't give any free leagues for members that earn them give them an option to join a superleague. it would use one of there team accounts but i know many fantasy leagues like in yahoo and espn offer this to returning champions from the years past. This is kinda like a all star of owners leagues. I'm pretty sure that many people would love to play against the best compition there is. a person can billinos of mogul points and be on the front page of your planed top 10 or what ever and he may be in 10 leagues with 2 other humans. is this fair to the owner that is able to win in leagues with 30 human owners. We all know that most of the human owners are better than the computer owners. With a superleague which is by invitation only you will have the best owners in the game competing against one another. Also what i meant by a free league was if the person is offered a spot in the superleagues then if they had a silver account instead of 3 teams they would have 4 a gold member would have 11 and a standard would have 2. they would still be paying there monthly fees. However they at least get a little bonus for there hard work and effort. Most of the people that would qualify for a superleague are players that are online at least once a day if not more for maybe hours at a time. To qualify for a super league would not be a one time thing it would have to be a good portfolio of being able to compete in many different leagues. It's just an idea that i would like to throw out. I think many people would be very interested in haveing a chance to compete against the best in the game. Some times bragging rights is the best prize of them all.
