Why don't CPU-run teams automatically accept scrimmage invitations?

- Scrimmages don't count for anything so it shouldn't matter that they're CPU

- People play CPUs in some leagues anyway

- No waiting around for someone to accept or invite you, guaranteed access to scrimmage

- Helps with collection of flags, especially the low-population countries

- No downsides

Looks like it got moved there? I don't forum much.

Should I re-post with a poll?

I like your idea! When I repurchase supporter is like to do the flag chasing and with micro nations it's hard to get their flag if they only have a couple users but a thousand scrimmage challenges.

Also you stated that you wouldn't have to wait around for a game to be accepted so with this implemented it'd allow people to know for sure they have a game to play/Game Shape manage or train players.

Something tells me this isn't going to be controversial.

Why would we want an achievement that is impossible?

Even if you allow for CPU scrimmages, there's still a limited number of available teams, especially while many are still in their respective cups (including basically all of the human-helmed teams) early in the season.

If you want to keep it restrictive and not just open the doors wide, you could limit it to just the CPU teams in the top leagues, so there's a maximum of 16 CPU teams available per country per week.

Not saying it's a huge priority.

Personally, I can be online for hours waiting for a new team that has a flag I'm waiting for to come online.

If I pick 15 teams with flags I need that need a scrimmage but are offline, I can wait days and not get a partner.
