Since the managers of SP are starting up competitions like the Champion's League and the UEFA Cup I thought that a good feature to add would be the ability to send the same message to all of the managers in a country.

This would make organising such events much easier.

pro for it but only for example for moderators of that country.. not for every member

It would also be helpful if someone just wanted to organise a friendly cup for UK, Belgian or whatever nationality they are.

then in that case i would say that they have to ask a moderator to send that message... but if i come up and say wow, now i am going to create a european fun cup... whop i send a message to everyone in the game... then a second guy comes up with european aggresion cup...

and hup new spam is born + it sends to everyone is mass sending = broadcasting = delay of the server, so it should be restricted in my eyes

I like this idea. Maybe not to all managers of a country, but at least to several managers at the same time.

And I prefer it to be only for moderators of a country. This way it would be easy to warn 40 managers that the CL-qualification will begin.

Yes, I like this idea as well.

Perhaps you should ask permission to Sjarel if you want to send mass-messages.
If you have a good reason, he could give you that ability for one day...

It would certainly be great.

But a question : how would you do it then?
Being able to select several teams in your contact list and then click "send a message" or something else?

I should also do it like that. Select more managers in your contact list to send them the same message.

Can I just point out that Europe is a Continent, not a Country, so Europe wouldn't be an option. I meant if i wanted to invite all of my fellow UK managers without having to add them all to my contact list. With this feature I could send them all a message.

That europe is just an example of a cup name... if i would say the Lithuanian cup it don't sound so impressive But if you make it country... I send a message to all belgians: +4000 message all at once... not a good idea....

Other solution could be.... Country based game messages. (the http://www.soccerproject.com/start.php page) If you could make this two types of messages... one language based for game news... and one country based (so that country moderators) can post a newsflash (after eventually permission of the admin or uber-moderators) This way it use less server capacity

Belgium is a bad example simply because there are so many users. But what about (the majority of) countries that have a number of managers a fraction of that size? It's a highly plausable feature for them.

Good idea. This should be possible I think.

We're not going to make this possible to prevent cheating.

I kinda like the idea of having language-specific gameMessages but that would not solve this problem assuming a lot of managers play this game in English anyway allthough their mother tongue might be any other language.

Well i should work with two types...


the language specific for official news like for example that guestbook news. So you have contacted everyone

And country specific news (let says a moderator for each country that has 250 members) this can be in mother tongue or in english, depending on the moderator. So for example a country with 250 members could have their own specific messages done by the moderator like organisating stuff and such...

Country's below 250 members (250 is a fictive number, only so high to minimize the needed amount of moderators) could be grouped into regio's like Azian regio, Oceanian regio, african regio, middle-east regio, and north and south american regio. And maybe an European regio. And when a country in here gets enough members they get their own qualified moderator. So for citystates like vatican, monaco and such will never have their official own moderator/league... so this way regional messages can be done... easy done cause everyone has a nationality in SP... so these variables are already in the game.
