BuzzerBeater Forums

Since it's inevitable that the topic of groupings will continuously pop up, here's what we're thinking at the current time:

Balkans
Albania
Montenegro
Macedonia

It's more funnier.. "Great Albania" is one of those ridiculous topics which is discussed in REAL LIFE in the f*cking politics. This is the nearest point to that. And it's so wrong.

The groupings have been chosen based on languages, culture, time zones and number of users/managers.

Is this guy serious..

Do you even EVER LISTEN Macedonian speaks and Albanian speaks?

This. Is. Absurd.
I can't even..

I'm out. I'm done with this forum. If this happened it'll be wrong on so many levels.

Peace.

Just merge them and let them keep their flags. They don't want to merge because they want easy cash and training. They are going to keep fighting and fighting. No one wants to give up money. Let them keep their current teams and sort them by WR.

If your country is really that great show it in that merge league. Make your goal as a country to beat all of those other countries. You basically get to represent your country in this league. If you don't like the other countries then beat them and don't lose to them. And all those micros managers that meet in person, wouldn't it be fun to help game plan with your friends? Wouldn't it be fun to show that you are a better country by having a bunch of teams in the top league? You'd have even more to talk about at these discussions. Competition will only make you a better manager.

BB needs help to make it competive and micros aren't helping. In micros it's too easy to earn money and tank. You guys can hoard cash and tank unlike these big countries. You guys have an unfair advantage. Yea there is a salary floor but they still make more money. I've been tanking and can't rack up the money that these micros can. They can hop back and fourth between D1/D2 making money. Us bigger countries can't do that. BB should be about all competition. And by merging it would create competition and stop some of the tanking. Let's make BB great again!

Balkans

LOL that's a bad idea

If this is going to be implemented than there would have to be some more complex solution. You can't just glue nations together.

For example, merging Balkan could go something like this:

Div I Adriatic league

Then form lower divs based on number of users per country

Montenegro, Macedonia,Albania
1 Div II
2 Div IIIs

Serbia
4 Div IIs
16 Div IIIs

Croatia,Bosnia&Herzegovina
3 Div IIs
12 Div IIIs

That's about 1k users

Promotion system would obviously have to be changed somehow to fit this.

Genarally what I tried to propose in my previous post is to decrease the number of Div Is, but also keep national leagues.

So basically group nations in let's say 15 groups of 1k users at least. The top division should be shared, and lower divisions national.

Only because one nation exists next to another nation, they don´t like each other compulsorily. And there are different stages of "don´t like" - USA-Canada or Netherlands-Germany for example - lots of cliches, but still works. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and India in one group on the other hand.... I seriously don´t envy the Mod of this future League-forums.

To put it all in a nutshell: Before even thinking about a merge, u should investigate, which nations u CANNOT merge for political, historical or cultural reasons. Watching ur suggestion, I don´t think u´ve done this (for more than 5 minutes, at least), and because of this, there is no arguable basis.

No offense intended...

I would believe that identity is lost in terms of the formation of youth, as one trains more effort to his nation, and now to train a new existing nation would not be as exciting ... Why not invest in game advertising across multiple platforms of that country? If I remember correctly Colombia was not so small at first when advertising was put into hattrick

Well said man!

Seriously! India in Middle east! I mean seriously! You must be kidding me. We are South-Eastrens lol

I think that it is a good solution to merge the micronations. We used to have a more vibrant community in India but that has gone way down and there is hardly any talk in the forums.

I do think that it makes more sense for India to be part of SE Asia - not because of the political crap but it just sounds wrong to put India in the Middle East. Why not merge all the Asian countries except for China and Turkey instead of breaking into two groups.

I also think that it would be cool to keep the individual flags.
