Should we abandon NC?

Not really, with FL people pick a team they want resulting in better quality matches and more interest.

I hope we'll just have something. A Nation's Cup or something else, I don't mind, let's just keep something active so people keep doing matches to train, I still want to see people on IG_Battlegrounds + It's one of the only games I can run on my computer, show mercy.

I would certainly like it to go ahead. For my part I have been trying since this summer to build an Irish team that has enough players so that we don't crap out in the early stages again.
Probably have enough players now, but trying to schedule 2 games in a week would probably be too much, as most of us have real lives that get in the way. We also have a few players- including myself- who would not play in any other tournament, so some substitute tourney wouldn't be of any interest.
8v8 means we might struggle to make a team every time, 5v5 would mean that we would have a lot of players not getting to play every time...
Personally I do prefer the 8v8 and would hope that it goes that way, but would agree that a 5v5 is probably more practical, and let the bigger countries have 2 teams with no personnel cross-over.
Dissolve all standing alliances, but let countries make a case for Alliances with the new admins from scratch. If there is a case for it, then fine. If it is just to load a team with good players, then reject it. For the record, some of the players on the Irish team are from Northern Ireland, and a couple are ex-pat families, so we would have to pass that by the admins ourselves.
A couple suggestions for discussion:
1: Could there be a compromise system for team numbers? Like make it an 8v8 tournament, unless both teams agree from the beginning/a week before hand/etc. to play with less?
2: Like the above, but you get penalised a round per person missing, so if you show up with 5, fine, but you default the first 3 rounds?
One way or another, this is probably the last year that any sort of Warband NC will happen, lets not skip it out completely.

Ok so it's a 6v6 alliance tournament taking place over however long you need. Anything else Eire?
When me and Scar used to admin a lot we used to try and map out a good year of Warbanding. These days imo it would look something like this:
Nation's 5 a Side (mid Feb - mid April)
ECS Style Tournament (early may - end June)
WNL Style Tournament (early July - mid September)
EC5 Style Tournament (early Oct - mid November)
WNL Style tournament (mid November - early Feb)
Of course there's room for fun tournaments around some of these. Especially things like the Nation's Cup and EC5 style tournaments.
Having this stuff mapped out so people know what to expect and there's a structure to things means teams know what they have to look forward to. Teams can prepare and there's a good variety in tournament types. Neither me or Scar have the time or will anymore to do all that but I'd encourage anyone planning on running a tournament to announce it and discuss it with other people who are planning on running tournaments.
