I'm not against 2d teams, you know it.

Like kozlik4 said, neraly 1300 voters were against it.
You're right more (nearly 1500) were in favor. But you can't ignore that they were in favor of something described as totally different than now proposed.

Just to say that this poll, in a way or the other, is now meaningless. We absolutely have no idea if the community is in favor or not of Utopia as a 99th country.

I guess the best to launch democracy in BB would have been a first poll : are you for or against second teams ? And if the answer is "yes", then chose between "no frontier for second team", "99th country" or "2nd server". But what is done is done and you're right a Xth discussion is now meaningless.

Thing is BBs have open the box of Democracy and all kind of topics and polls are now opened. They could have extended the discussion in order to satisfy the maximum of managers. But it seems they already have taken their decision since people can register for 2d teams.

I'm very disappointed that Supporters have to pay for second teams. AND I'm very disappointed that the community was not involved in THIS decision. It started out with the "Poll: Should BB develop the second team for Supporters feature (even if I don't agree with all the specifications stated in this post)?"

This sparked a discussion, a discussion which I have no doubt inspired the ideas for the present decision. But as usual in discussions... the people with the biggest mouths were heard the most. I would have very much liked to see another poll and/or discussion about the final plan before just sending out a newsflash "IT HAS BEEN DECIDED!" The people with big mouths were heard and the masses were ignored.

I voted yes for an idea which is now completely lost. I would have voted no for the current idea.

They weren't ignored. The BBs were planning on letting second teams be in actual countries but there were several users against it, so they went with Utopia, as it doesn't affect other countries.

And some of the people against it specifically said they were in favor of utopia.

More importantly, the game is not run by a referendum. BB sought user opinions, got a pretty decent response, and made their decision. Not the one I would have made, necessarily, but as long as they didn't charge for one thing and then deliver another, it's fair - if you like it, buy it; if you don't, don't. Problem solved.

Explain what advantage please, because I don't get it.

For sure it will affect BB as you said (except NT) but whats the issue? If soudainly, lot of new manager come in the game in actual nation, it would be the same but you wouldn't tell it is a problem.
