Subiect: Liquidated Teams |

I've noticed the new "liquidated team's" page were u can take over an old team, i noticed its still only for amateurs and above, and if u have not been in the team it costs alot more then to start one.
I ask, what is the point? who would pay more for a team when you can create one? is it just to have the stats from the past? or what?
and before now, any team were all the managers left, well it disapeard, got deleted, how is it all these old teams are back?
Do you's think this is a good or bad addition to the game? it just seems a bit pointless to me... I can have some fun with it if i use my imagination, but thats all, because i wouldn't pay 7.5 mil to take over a old team....

me neither, i also think it is quite stupid, because it is cheaper to make a new team with a similar name

Rubbish idea.....unless there is proven valuable information in their team forums....

exactly my point. the only thing i can see from this, is you get the teams history, but is it really worth it? sure it may attract people to the team, but if there smart, they will notice its been liquidated, and its pretty much a brand new team hidding behind the name and history or another...

unless there is proven valuable information in their team forums.... maybe someday one of the elite teams will close shop... then they can look forward to a bunch of noobs ruining their good name and having access to their nice data and theories... (edit due to erasing of team forum)
or maybe the Belgian's worst enemies can take over the Belgium team? awesome!

Well, there is AAR IV to buy with over 1700 pts already gathered, that's at least 3 seasons worth of points. With any (bad) luck, it will go to someone that hates america
what a horrible horrible idea for a feature (too bad they didn't require supporter credits to potentially slow down abuse)
in the other thread on this topic i suggested allowing the team leader to be given the option of WHO he wanted to allow to reopen the team at some point: only team leader only members with 5 seasons experience only team members only team members who have NOT been voted out (or optionally not kicked out). etc

Unless there is a limit to how many active teams gpro can have, I see little use for the take over option with the current prices. If there IS a limit on the amount of teams that gpro can carry (even if it is an annoyance limit) - then they need to change rules of starting a team (must stay with a team you create for two seasons to slow down the relegating amatuer abuse who then hand it over to someone else---- and perhaps make it so only pro's can create a team in the future --- or maybe a minimum races finished limit that is higher than 3 seasons)

who would pay more for a team when you can create one?
There is one born every minute!

Oh, the things they'd learn!!!
Nothing GPRO related, of course, yet still very educational.

Information inside the internal team forum (if the team has one) is not part of the take over process and will be deleted completely prior to the take over.

thats what i get for not reading everything posted :) so it's pretty much worthless :) for now unless u really really like the team name

That and paying less to create or join a team. I'd say $4M and $2M are competitive prices and would make people even consider taking over a inactive team.

Don't ask me, I am not buying. :)

There must be some attraction, at least one team has already been taken over!
|
|
|
Two teams have already been taken over. Let's ask those people :)
/TeamsEvents.asp
Event filter: Teams being taken over
|
|
|
this is just pointless who would pay more just for getting a team name. I can't see no attraction of this at all.

Aswer will probably be: "oh I thought the team forum info would be there ;////" :D
|
|

well, only thing i see that's worth getting are the team liveries ofc you'll have to get 6 supporters to actually use them.. but sometimes having a team logo invites ppl to your team altogether.. ;)
|
|
|
Both brought teams have had team liveries.
Also, a team should only be in liquidation for 1 season, if a buyer is not found, then it folds.
|
|
|
EDIT: Sorry, should have read more of the thread. :/

I would have liked to get my hands on my old team, it would have been nice to have been given notice that the team was up for sale and that i could have had first option to buy it out.

hello can someone tell me how can i calculate a fuel spendt by the car It's 4 litres for every km of racetrack. Unless it's in miles in which case off the top of my head will make it about 1.45 (gallons for every mile) _ _ _ _ __ _
Anyway seriously, I'd consider it a negative to taken over a old team. After all you spend all of this money & when it comes down to it, you can't even say that you started it. And what do you get in return? A few old points that's of zero value.

This case is interesting: /ManagerProfile.asp?IDM=48689 Our friend, Kiril, have payed 7,5M to take over team he never was a member of (Tuonela), and then he immediately changed team name to "Michelin Racing". This made my know why such moves are available - to let managers spend more money if they really want to! :)
