New assoc from the ground up
Update: 10th July 2023. I left the game, but am now back after realizing that I will always play this game. Even if I did leave at any time, someone else can always take charge of administration.
I am taking over an abandoned assoc to be pivoted by us into what we want in 31 days. The assoc will either be in Silver 1/Silver 2. We will use that assoc for the goals stated in this post.
I am a non-token buying, non-token farming 35T manager who has never spent a cent on the game. Yet I obsess enough about the game that my team always has a 40% bonuses total and I watch nearly every single game.
I have to deal with a lot of challenges this way, and success stops being determined only number of titles won. I have to, for example, constantly manage tokens (currently have 750T)[edit: used to, deleted that account and now have a lot less], the primary currency of the game, while consistently phasing players out of my team and replenishing them with younger ones while competing for all titles every single season.
I played T11 for 38 real seasons before leaving out of dissatisfaction with, among other things how transfers work. I recently came back to the game because T11 is probably the best mobile manager game there is. I tried this entire earlier before I left. Couldn't find other people to join up; I guess people do not like starting from the ground up. They want to join an already moving train. But I am trying it again.
The point is to play with managers who:
— do not spend money on the game or actively mine tokens or any other resources.
—care about their teams enough to always have 40% bonuses and compete for all titles every single season.
— understand real-life football tactics and can make in-game changes to their team.
Most current associations most managers belong to are poorly curated, made up of managers with different objectives in playing the game.
The goals of the assoc are:
— to have a curated group of genuine players with high-standards who do not attempt to 'hack' the game. This seems especially hard to do (the curation of players, that is) since assoc discovery within the game is so so hard and it's impossible to filter assocs by any traits.
— see how far and how well an assoc with non-hacking, genuine players with high standards can do in assoc.
Likely issues and how to solve them:
— Comms/Coordination. Chat within the game is absolutely horrible. We can use Slack/Discord.
— Longtermism. Captains/members leaving the game and either rendering the assoc pointless (Capt leaving) or destroying assoc dynamics (members leaving, leaving assoc to have to search for replacements).
To combat this, we can have multiple assocs, and be a group of assocs with assocs contracting and expanding as need be. 8 members can be split into 2 groups of 4 each instead of a single group of 6 with no place for 2 remaining members.
And, external comms also means comms with people who may decide to leave including the captain.
— Timezones. We would have to choose a time most comfortable for the most number of managers.
Who does this make sense to?
