Reason being that your in D.5 with a LOT of active teams ahead of you

Div V is full of bots.

I'm sure you in a very short while(bb time wise) will be competing with teams of the same strength as your self.

For sure. the problem is how many users would have keep playing after 6 months of non competion.

I don't know but perhaps you would have done so already if you wouldn't have tanked down to D.5.

Actually i spent all the money to try to don't be relegated at the begin of the last season, but my arena was not big enough to sustain my roster (even economy), i was losing most of the games anyway and i was paying the less i could specialist.
Keep in mind also i knew how shape and enthusiasm are working and which players are usefull or not.
Maybe i haven't done everything perfect but i doubt a complete new user could have done better.
I don't think many of the new users keep playing also in really big community like italian one.
I agree completly when u say that the situation is worst for micronation. But it's not good enough in the bigger nations too let new users keep playing:D

A possible merger affects like 5% of the current managers. We can afford to lose a bunch of them.

How can you know this? Please explain the "5%" with a complete merge??

It might just be the lack of competition/possibillities that is the main challenge for BB right now. I am also in favor of a full merge, and at least the micro/semi-micro nations.

In the JimboJambos example above he will be promoted and have a go in the above league every season, until he manages to stay there. So he will get first draft pick every other season. Micro nations don't. It is interesting to hear that the income for div V is so bad. Perhaps an extra set of measures, implemented at the same time, in combination could help, instead of trying out one idea at a time:

a) Merge

b) Limiting attendance even more, throughout the divisions. To make a more even playground for new teams. You could have a big arena, but you are not able to fill it until you are in the upper divisions. So teams relegating will have to adapt quickly, until they are able to promote again. Next season when the next teams relegates, they to will have to adapt. This will force teams to sell and buy players more often.

c) Give a much bigger promotion bonus, so the upper divisions will have to struggle more to keep the newly promoted teams down, thereby spending more of their money. This could help in taking a bite of the account of super rich teams, and also make the promotion/relegation teams more diverse. The teams promoting will have a chance to stay in division, instead of almost automatic relegation as it is now.

that is the bigger problem actually, new people who come in the game not stay long wherever they come from...

Thanks...that's way I said in the beginning of the threat I am against the merge of ONLY just the micro nations, because also in big nations we have for new users a lack of competition!!
A merge of micro nations where we then will have only DII with real managers is useless....it doesn't solve the issues it just delays them.....
Let's take the example Austria.....we have now 50 users....after the merge we will have 100 users.....then after 1 year again we will lose 30 users.....then we have to merge again with another country....
Please make one big change and merge all countries to BIGGER regions where people can enjoy playing also in the lower leagues D5 with enough human competition!!!

I have just joined and happy with the current system. However it was so difficult to get my welsh team as had to go thru an appeal. The process be a welsh player in a welsh league living in wales is extremely difficult as all teams in the UK seem to be pushed into England and their league. I have seen a post on our forum where a former welsh player/team was put in England despite their request to go back into a welsh league. Do organisers actually want the smaller countries to expand naturally. I wonder if this is the issue why number of teams in Wales is low and maybe this is an issue around the world also.

Just one information: the colombian discussion about this topic (only 4 managers) and we think the same: merge will be interesting but we want to keep our flags and NTs.

In Paraguay only two users posted their opinions (pointing in the same direction). Countries like Panamá, Ecuador and Bolivia haven't opinions about this topic.

In this scenario, I support the merge idea. It's pretty boring the lack of participation of the community. Will be interesting to know how the merge will work. That kind of info will focus the discussion.
