As I've told you, your idea will mean more coding.
Did Marin tell you this? I don't believe the difference is as big as you make it sound. At all. It's just 3 extra leagues and you'd run the calculations about who goes where in S40 only once.
The biggest coding issue should be allocating the nationality to the S40 draftees to be honest not creating 4 leagues instead of 1 and removing 3 of those the following season. When you create one you can also create 4. You will need to move teams manually after that one more time, but that also should be rather easy as Marin has done entire promotion-demotions for many more leagues by hand in the past. If this is so hard to do, then the Utopia effort should be in the Hall of Fame of coding. This is a mini tiny reverse Utopia with one season to adjust things.
It really feels like a cop out from you Foto. Even if it did require a LOT more effort on the devs side, this change will clearly affect enormously those 50 managers in those nations and frankly, if you really cared about ensuring a smooth transition and maximising retention you should do what it takes.
Oh and regarding polls I understand and that's why I changed "poll" to "forum discussion" in my post before you replied. This discussion should be open only to the manager affected by the change (and the asian micronations who are next) and staff members who wish to participate. I'm pretty sure the South Africans and hopefully some more will join the discussion. And if nobody expresses an opinion there, then I will agree with you that nobody cared enough about the change, so I will also support you if you go with the option that requires less effort on your part. Makes sense?
