First let me say I love this game and its full of great owners but I see a problem with how some owners interact with others in this game.
As someone who has been attacked in the public forums, (a thread actual has my username in the title), there is a correct way to deal with any owners you may have an issue with. The first step before any action should be to contact that owner by PM to address your concerns. Second, the league admin for the league that owner is in should be contacted by PM to have him attempt to contact that owner to address that issue.
If you use the public forums to attack another owner, you are hurting this game. You may be losing new players that dont know any better and feel like they are not wanted. Remember, without new owners, this game dies. Veteran owners should be helping new owners instead of publicly stating what horrible mistakes they are making. Again, the game has a PM where you could teach them what they are doing wrong without embarrassing them in the public forum.
The option to trade with other owners is one of the greatest parts of this football management sim but most owners dont get the most out of this part of the game. Typically a trade offer will be rejected without comment or a comment like: "thats a ridiculous trade", "dont send stupid trades" will be sent. If you recieve a trade offer and you dont like it because the price is too high or the players are too old or for whatever reason, reject the trade with an actual reason or counter the offer with what you think is fair. I have had fun trading in this game, sometimes going back and forth with owners dozens of times before finally agreeing. An opening trade offer should be viewed as a beginning to a negotiation not something solid or written in stone. Rarely if ever should a initial trade offer be accepted, the art of negotiation is lost on so many owners in this game and I hope more owners would open up to the possibilities in the trade market and treat each offer recieved as an oppurtunity.
This is just my opinion but I hope it helps owners when dealing with our newer owners. Leagues die or stop spinning for lack of owners and we as veteran owners need to groom, help and welcome newer owners to keep this game thriving and growing.
