Yeah, bears, roosters, he's a real zookeeper.

AND one of his players is named Foka Pekar.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?

Any three for me
Any four will score

we are hoping in the future to setup an interface to let LA alter the name database and change the makeup of players.

right now we have an names database with "ethnicities" and countries pull from a distribution across these ethnicities... i'm not sure where these errors are coming from.. i'll look into it. could be the data is wrong... meaning its pulling from the wrong distribution or the ethnicities could have names that aren't appropriate.. or there could be a bug in the code.

Wow, yes, the distribution of names that we've had in place for Bulgaria is way off. In addition to the Bulgarian and Armenian names, which are appropriate, we've also been assigning African, Estonian, and Welsh names.

I have reset the distribution of names for new Bulgarian players. They will now be principally Bulgarian and Turkish, with a very small minority coming from Armenian and Russian.

Thanks for pointing out the problem.

yeah the same in Lithuania...

Lithuanian players draw mostly from our list of Lithuanian names, but also occasionally from our Latvian and Russian lists. Unlike Bulgaria, the problem here is probably just that our Lithuanian list is not very good. Like Forrest said, we may in the future ask the LAs to help us improve our lists.
