Alright so people, lirmi is a town soon to be small city south east of rhilpisa.
I'm building the stands for it which will be the biggest in the Sweet/MC world so a team would be suitable.
The other possibility is to have a second league (Only Lore) with Rhilpisa, rural Shea, north lirmi and tittybong.
I am 100% on board with Lirmi FC being the next powerhouse in the SFA however with a large budget stadium with top resources

Tittybong is much much closer to Sweet. Lirmi could probably support a league of it's own over time.
But you probably need to start small and offer Lirmi's stadium as an exhibition match locale for a Sweet FA clash.
And start even smaller by finishing the grandstand. Tourists keep falling off. Might be intentional. Might even be pushed.

I didn't have enough wood to make a sign, their own fault tbh

Side note, can lirmi not be the team that's out of the way? All teams are quite close tbh.
Of not I bid for the north lirmi/tittybong fc
Or just lirmi-tittybong fc

Stop associating Tittybong with Lirmi. They're nowhere near each other, they're just in the same general direction. This is like wanting to create a Mildura-Diggers Rest in the VFL.

Are there any plans to establish an airport in Sweet? Or at least an elytra facility at the top of Mount Buller?

You're right, let's just make lirmi fc and tittybong fc

I don't have an airport at Sweet. Don't even have a main interstate rail hub, Don't have a racecourse, a raceway, or even a golf course!

An airport would be pretty cool. It's a small town so just a runway with a couple of tin sheds would do.

Less talk more doing.

Golf Course has to be #1 priority, Airport 2nd.

You want us to take Sweet seriously, well then you better start catering for us.

I could add a golf course but I'd rather work on enabling sports first.

Ladies and gentlemen

It’s that time of year again when haydo dusts off his annual vanity project, lures a handful of posters in secret squirrel fashion and lifts his posting activity to make people think he’s actually contributing something to this board.

That’s right, it’s expansion time!

To haydo’s credit, he actually told his co-captain this time however one of the major drawbacks of expansion in the past has been flaky posters peddling teams for their own self-interest. We’ve seen haydo’s multiple snake-themed teams, @Millky95’s Pennsylvania Vampires (what were they thinking?) and @tgrs’ West Gate Trolls. The common theme among each of these expansions has been this – none of these posters were consistently and actively contributing to the board in the couple of seasons leading up to their bids. While recent activity is not a prerequisite, BLUEALLTHRU could launch an expansion bid and it would have more credibility.

That said, there is an appetite for expansion. Posting activity is up across the board and, more importantly, the number of people contributing to match threads has remained above pre-Covid levels. While activity isn’t the be all and end all, the health of the board does rely on activity to a certain extent. Without activity, people get bored and go elsewhere for entertainment.

So consider this my application for not one but two new teams to enter Sweet FA.

​

Two?!

Yep, two. The last time expansion came up in season 29, two teams were the preferred option to reduce the need for a bye as well as to not exclude teams from special rounds (eg. Heritage Round). That’s not to say we can’t put together one really good team and run a season with an odd number of teams but why not cover all bases.

Why are you doing this?

Well, If we’re going to expand, let’s do it together and let's do it right. The last expansion bids were headed by “serial quitters” and happened behind closed doors with an incommunicative admin that refused to work with the clubs. The result was one weak bid and one perceivably weak bid. As The Filth Wizard put it:




It also helps that I’m an active contributor to the board with no skin in the game.

What do you mean by 'no skin in the game'?

Here’s the kicker – I don’t have any plans to join either team. The rules specifically preclude anyone from playing for more than one team and I’m not about to leave my current team in the lurch. These teams will truly be your teams. Sweet FA’s teams. You nominate. You recruit. You name, you design, you everything. I am merely facilitating the process.

OK, so how is this going to work?

Prospective players will sign up in this thread or by contacting me via PM. Those who sign up via PM will not have their identities revealed but their interest will be recorded discreetly in the OP so everyone can see the progress of the bids. From the pool of players collected, captains and leadership groups will form organically and they will set about filling out their rosters, naming their teams, building their identities, etc. When each team feels they are ready to move forward with their bid, it will be officially submitted to the admin for a vote by the clubs (regardless of the progress of the other bid although both may choose to launch concurrently). While some details will be decided privately by the players involved, the process will be public and everyone in the Sweet FA community will be invited to contribute to the construction of these teams.

Furthermore, I will not be initiating a single PM for this venture. If these teams are to get off the ground, it will be because you want them, not me. If they don’t get up, they don’t get up.

You're pulling the piss, right?

No. These will be serious bids built by you, the Sweet FA community.

Some basics:

• Any new team(s) will be compliant with the rules surrounding new clubs​
• Both teams will be based at (different) grounds in @Mobbs’ world of Sweet and adopt a name that reflects that area​
• Neither team will sport any moniker associated with snakes​
• Each team will have a unique identity (name, colours, jumper, etc.) from each other and existing Sweet FA clubs​

Expansion can be a touchy subject at times but the primary tenet is in the name – it should expand the league. Not just in the number of teams and names on lists but in character. Expansion affects everyone so why not let everyone participate in expansion, even if you won’t be joining a team.

Most importantly, this should be fun so let's make it so.

What do we have in terms of betting agencies? Qrownbet, ChippyBet, BullerBet, I'm sure there are others. But no race track?

The closest racetrack is at Mulletville, and that's like ... through the looking glass distant.

Okay, a racetrack can happen. Probably out on Kingdom Road somewhere, just outside of town.

Probably a case for a different thread. I'll create some info for you.

Where's Mulletville?

It's not really in the Sweet world, it was built in the server before I decided to go to a remote place and start building Sweet. It's about 10 minutes railcart ride through the nether (that's a hella long way if you don't know, Lirmi is about 3 minutes run). It can't really apply to the Sweet universe.

My Minecraft handle is Mullarvey (a little known reserves Roys players from the 90s). My original base in the server was on an island called Mullcatraz, and when I built a racecourse, it just had to get dubbed Mulletville.
