My reasoning for the Territory Teams was that if they were Region Teams it would only be 12. By having the "TT"s there is a larger competition.

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

The double flag isn't something I'm in favor of. But it seems to be a big deal-breaker for a lot of users in the Micro Merger thread.

Because then they would have to code the drafts in each Region to become that NT. Admittedly, you would have to write similar code for double-flags, which as I said I am against if people will concede their national flags.

And the biggest reason for me is to create parity for the NT competitions as league competitiveness increases with merged leagues. Players from Jamaica and Luxumburg and South Africa would be able to contribute to NTs that have a competitive chance at more than 1-3 wins a season and moral victories.

I look at the various suggestions according to standards I think are necessary and have been met in one or more other suggestions:
1. Every team retains its national identity and retains its flag.
2. Every country could continue in BBB.
3. Every country would continue to have its own forum.
4. Countries that do not want to merge with each other would not have to do that.
5. Every world would have a full Division 1, 2 and 3 at least, and probably a full Division 4.
6. The competitive and financial advantages and disadvantages of playing in a macro country or a micro country would be completely evened out.

You suggestion is interesting but misses #2m #4 and possibly #6.

Edited to add that your idea of a complete reset, involving EVERY country, has merit. I think nothing can be accomplished short of that.

I agree it misses on 2. 4 could be accomplished simply by giving nations a choice, but there wouldn't be a choice of not merging with anyone. And how would 6 not be accomplished? Every team would move into a new league within a territory. Every Territory would have at least 3 full divisions. How would that not even out the money over time with everyone playing by the same finances?

Well right now, the larger countries are being affected by the smaller countries by things like market prices and lower enthusiasm in the B3.

I think that these large scale changes would take time to be put into place, and definitely change things quite a bit, but it could be a good long-term solution to a problem that has been here for the past several seasons.

If they were fixing the micro nation problem, why would they not want to make it better for everyone by combining everyone. It would solve the issue of market prices, competition for everyone, leagues filled with active users in multiple levels, and I feel as though the things that some micro nation owners brought up would be solved, such as keeping their flags and getting a more competitive NT.

I feel as though this plan would solve more, and satisfy more people as well.
