Only a small part of all BB-managers collect flags, the others will probably gladly take home scrimmages. I also just think it could/should be a bit more challenging gettins flags than it is today...

I have barbados, but not bahamas.
I know back in the days there was only 1 active team for lubnan (I think ??). It was quite hard to get him over to my place, but I finally managed.


Now Bahamas and Jamaica give me troubles. I'm sure that getting them over is harder them me going there, but as I never played a scrimmages outdoors for 10 seasons now (and never did) I'd like to keep that tradition.

I always challenges the samlles countries first, so except for those 2 above, I only need countries with over 750 users, that indeed shouldn't be a problem.

Still, I wouldn't want to start over with just my own countries flag, and having to throw away my tradition, in order to get flags.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Maybe its because of Hattrick, but I only play away. I guess I thought it worked like that in BuzzerBeater too...

yes, probably, but even though I knew going out for a scrimmage doesn't cost any money in BB, somehow I was directed into the situation of playing home games all the time, and after some of those I made it a tradition. So even though it doesn't matter to me at all where I play, I'd like to keep the tradition, and I see no reason to change the way it is, as neither home or away team has any cost, and each gets his minutes just the same, so there is absolutely no difference, except the time the game starts...

Yeah, I don't think it really matters. I'm not sure if there is any thing in RL that it is based on. I know that I see the captains of soccer teams often exchanging team pennants before friendlies, so I wonder if its based on something similar.

Please, please, please Bahamas this week!

They have a beatifful life, Im not sure about nature, beach and so on, because I dont know what it is about, but the invitations from BB managers are the reason why I would like to live in there.

I play all my scrimmages on the road hoping that an away game will improve my experience a bit more than a home game does.

Also i don't agree that you should get a flag for only away games but you should have to win your scrimmage to receive it in my opinion.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

now that would be interesting. Let's make sure strong teams can't find scrimmages.

Yes winning has nothing to do with it. I have played in "friendlies" in real life against China, Nepal, Hong Kong, Syria and Kuwait and every time you give eachother "flags" before the game.

New York Chunks
II.2
Overall Posts Rated:

I live in NYC, so I can see all the flags over at the UN if I really want. When teams scrimmage at my arena, I can just grab their country's flag from over there.

I actually have a preference for away games, personally, since those games will play out earlier than in the New York time zone and I'll see the results sooner. (Every now and then I change my Training if the minutes didn't play out as planned in a scrimmage, and the sooner I can see this the better in case I can't get online on Thursday night.) If suddenly Supporters will only want road games to collect a flag, that will make it a little tougher for me to get road games in those hard to schedule countries where the most active teams are mostly Supporters.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
