If you have a player pool of like 15 guys that are fit for the NT, you will see for yourself how bad of a fudge up it is, when your 150 TSP guy is out for a couple of weeks because his owner is a donk who has no clue about GS.

This is more a criticism of micronations/small nations than it is how the NT works. Your issue is not enough players, not a broken system.

It is pretty obvious that solving the NT issue is a lot easier than fixing micronations. So considering the history of the game and the way changes are made, I vote for the easy fix in this case.

Think of this as real life. Between the USA and the NBA. The USA NT is full of NBA stars. If we based this off of what you have suggested, you are saying that the USA NT could force the NBA team to drop their player from their team because the USA NT for the Olympics in Rio aren't happy with the game shape of the athlete.

With that in mind, you're saying that an NBA team should be forced to drop a star player they pay a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to just because their game shape isn't up to par for the USA NT. The USA NT doesn't even pay the athlete anything compared to what their club team pays.

Sadly you're in a micro nation and that sucks. If you have a problem with that then start recruiting your friends and people in your nation and make it a macro nation.

More along the lines of the original topic, I think this is a great idea as long as it's based mainly on elected Managers not being active or becoming bots. It would not be a very positive atmosphere if an elected Manager got fired because 75% disapprove of the Manager. If you don't approve then wait for his term to be over and never elect him again. That's the point of elected officials, you elect them based on their ability and if you're wrong then wait for the next term until you can elect someone else in. But it sounds like this would not be the case. Thanks for writing this in the code! Great idea.

Yeah right. Who will compensate me for the effort to recruit around 500-1000 users to the game? What tools do I get to achieve this?

I don't care if you tell us some nice stories about USA, NBA or Team USA. This is not real life, so if we don't give a fudge about realism in certain aspects of the game, we can listen to more creative and outrageous ideas too.

Everybody and every country should play the same game, with the same opportunities and settings, no matter if its Guatemala or Spain.

Please refer to the suggestions forum about this issue.

Quoted whole thing on phone sorry.

Well in the past NBA players weren't allowed only "amateur athletes". So, while your points are strong and valid. A different perspective would be that's only an issue because the olympics changed to allow professionals to play Basketball and Hoxkey etc. if it's only armatuers.... Is that so unreasonable a thing to ask a high school or college?

Amateur is a player or athletes who participates in a sport, on an unpaid basis.

If our club athletes were not paid then yes, it would be reasonable for the U21 or NT to take control of their amateur athletes for the betterment of the country. So your example of amateurs is a good thought but it does not correlate with the athletes on club teams.

Club athletes do get paid by their clubs and are managed by their clubs solely for the betterment of their clubs. It is sad that some managers don't stay active or don't train the athlete to its fullest extent but that's on the club and not the U21/NT to take control.

That's easy to say when there's 1200+ other clubs.

It's easy to say when it's a stupid argument. No manager would agree to give up their 150TSP athlete because their NT wants to steal them. If the player does have 150TSP, that means the club team spent YEARS(literally 3-4 years real life) and MILLIONS on the athlete to get him to where they are now. How do NT Managers have the right to steal these players from their clubs for the NT when the Manager of the athlete doesn't care for the athlete being on the NT with good GS.

I'm done arguing about this over the wrong topic post. This should not keep being discussed on this forum.
