I'm going to push my prices up a bit for the next update to see if I can find the limits on this.


You've always got to push the limits



Agree 100% and I thought I knew what they are for d2. But apparently with a small arena, they can be pushed higher.

i've long suspected there are "gate receipt" caps for each level -- like so much else in this game, not hard and fast, but a range -- the highest i've seen during my time up here is Tucumcari reaching just over $600,000 a game -- combined with the arena size limits, this puts into place revenue restraints, at least from selling tickets.

that's why i found Jason's experiment so interesting -- and the way i read the results is that fans really really do not like ticket price increases -- i would have guessed before the season that Jason would have met Ozone's revenue levels (with his promotion bonus), so i figure he was taking an $80,000 hit a game for . . . greed. if i am correct, after his ticket price adjustments go into effect, then his revenues should skyrocket to $580,000 or more.

considering the last thing i want to see is Jason getting more money, this is bad news.

I am not sure if my team is making Sarah Palin jokes during the game, or what they are saying/doing...but Anchorage is pissed as they have been assessed 2 Flagrant Fouls inside of 30 seconds!

if Jason can guess both Magiker and Tnt's strategy when they meet, then i will be happy to award him this season's prognosticator award:

they're so slippery, if they do what you expect, it is still a surprise.

As much as I would love to take credit for being the GDP Whisperer.....8 of the 15 I got right this season were against 3 Bot Cup opponents and Barbian Marauders who have not logged in all season. Twice this season I have made GDP guesses I felt especially proud of...and actually, the best GDP guesses I have made are the games where I didn't guess GDP at all.

interesting night tonight: in both conferences, the top four teams play each other.

i'm most interested in my conferrence, as the very impressive Cross Chargers host the Reigning Champs and Magiker goes after that fantastic outside game of the Cacti.

Jason "I can tell what you're thinking" tackles the KGB-trained Dmitri in one mind battle while Pappy, who has quietly assembled a powerhouse with one key player watching from a hospital room, hosts the Traptors, who feature four monsters taller than 6'10".

Aside from the Golden Horde, who drew a DIII team, Cup games should not distort efforts. good luck to one and all.

Hassan, I always enjoy reading your great observations. I think we should appoint you head PR person so you can do all the NBBA press releases, previews and game recaps. We can pay you with BB money:-)
