UE,

Have you ever thought about maybe introducing a manager referral scheme?

An existing manager refers a manager or a new manager to a game and gets awarded for it. But in order for managers to qualify for the award then maybe the new manager has to complete a whole paid season. Just so clowns don’t try take advantage.

You could maybe even do a multiple referral offer using either free turns, karma or a discount off season tickets.


Refer 5-10 managers - Free 3 turns or 25 karma
Refer 10-15 managers - Free 5 turns or 50 karma
Refer 15-20 managers - Free 10 turns or 100 karma

If you didn’t like the free turn or karma offer (as muscles won’t then maybe introduce a discount for a season ticket offer for the existing manager. Maybe a 2 ST for £100 offer or even the 121 Northern deal of 3x ST’s for £100. I don’t know.

Either way the idea is aimed at popularising the game and bringing in more & new managers.

What’s your thoughts?

I agree. There should be a referral scheme. It’s a no brainer for UE.

Could be a good idea, probably more on the karma side or something though...

I'd appreciate it if you stopped name dropping me into your ideas. To be frank I don't like it.

As for your idea a referral scheme is a good idea and something that should be implemented but your specifics are a low ball.

"Refer 5-10 managers - Free 3 turns or 25 karma"

Seriously? I don't know about anyone else but I could never get 5-10 managers playing this game and if by some miracle I did the reward is £9?

For me every referral should have a reward.

For goodness sake mate, it’s banter because you’re guaranteed to offer an opinion and nearly all of the time disagree on the idea put forward. But as you ‘don’t like it’ I’ll therefore stop the banter.

Working for a small business myself, our business model is focused around referral (and trust and expertise etc). It’s surprising UE haven’t implemented a referral scheme already but I’m sure Ben has business reasons why he hasn’t.

In my opinion, the incentive has to be more appealing but the general idea is a good one. The incentive has to be a free/discounted turn for this to work.

I would not feel sufficiently incentivised to introduce anyone to this game for Karma Points (or for UE Points for that matter). It has to feel like a (real) cash saving/reward. This then becomes a purely business decision that doesn’t impact the game flow/dynamics by offering in-game rewards.

I suppose UE may also offer new players a discounted rate to get a ‘feel for the game’ but again Ben is likely to have valid business reasons for not offering this sort of thing.
