Pepper said:You could just embrace alliances if the tourney is going to be multi team based. Just pair up countries with less people with larger ones.
I don't really get this 'NC is holy' kind of vibe. It's not been the same for years and while the 'best of the best tourney' was relevant when we had a large pop, I don't think it's productive to do it now, as who really cares when the scene is small?
Probably an unpopular opinion but I'd just say allow Scandinavia, BeNe, UK and some other alliances and we might see several teams from those locations rather than unhappy teams stuck together with tape. We honestly should look at options that include rather than exclude at this point of warband.
just my kudos, looking forward to it regardless

My triggered response is that the U.K is, in fact, a country; but with the whole Wales thing, I can understand why the lines are blurry.PhantomMaB said:ooofFaebio said:Ah I get it, so the UK played as unapproved Alliance the last NCs while complaining about BeNe
Scar said:How can we understand that? Last year you made a strong case for a Welsh team being formed, even though half of them turned out to be English. Still, the community gave you the opportunity, and now I hear that you are trying to form a team with Shingen, who is English. What nation do you identify with? Wales or the United Kingdom? Or are you in the process of requesting an alliance between Wales and the United Kingdom?Fietta said:People always used to get excited trying to join their nations team and routing for them during the tournament.
In NW since around 2014 we've allowed Wales, Ireland and Scotland to make teams if they have a suitable/willing leader and a genuine lineup.Fietta said:NGL the UK team was England + OGL, don't know why Wales was a problem when they could just make an England team in 2017 like the NC for Napoleonic wars, they just wanted OGL so they made an excuse.

Pretty much this.

Watly said:If I were an admin, I would completely ignore any changes Robin made during the NC17. His administration was arbitrary and oblivious to reason. We can now complicate things further by penalising Fietta for abusing Robin's gullibility and forcing him to play with "Welsh" players. Instead, I'd say we call the Robin episode a bad dream, applaud Fietta for weaseling a Wales team into the NC and only acknowledge UK teams from now on.
On the topic of BeNe, we make an effort constantly and every year, but the influx of new players is very, very low. Asking us to put in an effort means we ask the same people the questions with the same answers. It gets tiresome and is essentially pointless beyond satisfying the anti-BeNe boner of the German and UK people.
