I was referring to the thread where the previous debate took place. I'll rephrase for you: the countries who seemed to me to be posting most against change were Iran, and one or two countries in Eastern Europe. I have never said they don't have the right to post, nor should you insinuate that I did say that. I also have the right to post, as I'm sure you will agree. And I'm also sure you'll agree I have a fair right to disagree with you.

Gully.

Fair rights?

Like me starting again from V div and some Abdullah Scaramush starting in Krappy nation in first league that with 1 season of tanking get as much as 3 years worth of me playing? And get bored of it after 1 season i add.

That 1/4 of player base, assuming no other radical change, is simply crappy exagerate data.

Thats just the game weird rules: you cant represent other countries (many games respect the fact that players from bigger countries can go and support smaller ones by making second team or whole account there). If you dont have strength to battle bots or inactive people there is no changes needed, maybe just regional leagues.

All the Micronations combined make up like 5-10 percent of the games population. So we are talking about 1-2k users leaving...

...and to add a little cynicism: most of them are "worthless" to the game anyways, as they do not buy supporter.

I'd rather have a smaller and more competitive community, than an atomic league structure with micronations all over the place.

In before the Hitler comparisons. Sorry, I could not resist.

You have to be realistic and see it as a business decision. A big amount of users from micronations is freeloading and clinging to them might be a bad move, especially if it drives away more (financially) valuable players.

After all it is not said, that those "we will leave in masses"-threats have to be taken seriously AND what is more important and offends me a lot, most of those threats were of "patriotic" and borderline racist substance. It should be questioned if this can and should be part of an open and friendly environment.

Let's make BB great again!

They should leave the nations there are now, but just pool the leagues of some regions that are geographical close togheter.

So for everyone that comes in, he will start at least in a III.

Simple as that.

Sure that would be best.

But it's not to agevolate them, to be clear...

It's to make it fair for US that start from the abyss of a V division and have a completely disadvantaged play at the start (and for a couple of YEARS, non seasons).

They are not victims and should just buckle underwithout making too much of a fuss, if they are honest.
