Small thing, but a point of elegance for the interface––

The "Deactivate" button on the Black Box activation page should properly be labeled "Deactivate All Teams" or "Deactivate All", because this is what it does (unless I am hallucinating).

Otherwise, at face value, it seems like it would be the inverse of the Activate button, whose function is related to the specific teams you've ticked/greenlit, when in fact there is no connection between the Deactivate button and the teams you've selected.

It has happened to me a few times that I activated all my teams by accident, and then realized I only wanted to activate one. I assumed that what I was supposed to do was tick the teams I wanted to deactivate, and then hit "Deactivate", but recently I realized that when I did this, I was taken out of the draw completely.

Anywhoo. As I said, perhaps more for elegance/precision than fixing a major stumbling block, but I thought I'd mention it.

What is all the secret league stuff about btw? It seems it completely slipped my attention...

Many shiny ideas and fancy wishes...all unlikely to happen. While i sneaked in here, i may leave one suggestion though at least that seems pretty down to earth:

A client issue, but still: if a player crashes make the turntime clock stop to prevent abuse, it also just seeems logical to do, almost as something that has been just forgotten (i myself have been waiting for a crashed opponent to come back when i was about to score on his offence only to be timed out).

It already does stop. The problem is sometimes it can't tell a player has crashed. If they time you out in this situation report it to an admin.

An AI to play against would be nice, or to help fill out box games, when box is thin on players.

This is what Academy should be IMO. Using the GRod Bot with the new client. That would be an awesome feature.

Nothing wrong with competing vs ai's. Having some competitive ai's might be fun. Also as an option for academy does sound nice.

I'd like to see a PBEM-like division, [P], where you start a game that might take a couple of weeks to complete. You take one turn at a time when prompted by PM for exmple.

that's how many smartphone boardgame-apps work for example

There are no AIs competitive enough for a competitive division.

Grod bot would be good for academy imo. Sure its not perfect, but at least people could get used to the client, icons, skills etc... before playing real people.

The bot would need a lot of work first.
