Well that is your opinion. I respect that, while I don't agree with you.

Iran community I think is working just fine and I believe that we should not be included in the merge.

Well like I said, I can't speak for sure about these countries with so few users.

I do open with saying that I'm still completely against the merge, but a common league seems like the reasonable way to go if a merge were to happen, of course on the condition that NT, U21 and flags stay untouched. But then again, how would this work ? What about the national tournament ?

Also I'd like to point out that with a common league, there would be a common draft. We have so little high potential players as it is, the way that players names and flag will be generated when they get drafted to their respective teams won't work. This will lower the NT competitions even more I think

I talked about a common league in my previous post.

If merges were to happen regionally, Middle East would have much fewer users compared to other regions and this wouldn't work.

We do have and Arabic based religion, but most people's knowledge of Arabic here is at best primitive and basic. English is better overall, but that too won't work well.

And I assure you that nobody in here knows Russian

:D

I repeat... why is this merging-countries idea necessary for BB? I can't even see it!

Probably because you play in Spain, the 2nd largest country in BB. Anyway...

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

Little Europe
Luxembourg
Andorra
Austria
Malta
Cyprus

Sorry, but this is not an answer to the question!

What is your goal, why is this necessary, which problems do you want to fix with new groupings like this (just an example) ... ?
... please give me one good reason ... and maybe a view more ;-)

The idea is to increase competitiveness. If I were a new user in a community of less than 40-50 managers I would probably get very bored quite quickly. Even in Romania, where we have ~160 users, some third leagues have 1-3 active managers, is it really worth to do anything else than tank/farm in those conditions?

if you play alone ... sure you are the first to get all trophys ...

Like Folgado Lakers in the "micronation" Spain???

I think some sort of resolution to this issue has to happen from a competitive stand point. Not from the "you get bored" standpoint but for global competitiveness. Tanking out of a league and rebuilding happens. I am currently rebuilding. However, I do not get to stay in our top league season after season under the salary floor while I do it. I get one season of increased revenue stashing and then down I go. My rebuild would certainly be infinitely faster if I could stay in the top league to do it.

The ratio of top division managers to users is out of whack and too much money is put into the game with very few avenues to remove it. There has to be a form of consolidation that keeps the user's flag, but the current format is just wonky. It's like 20% of the global community is playing a completely different game. There shouldn't be any less pride in developing a player with one's own flag to represent your continental competition team. I liked the earlier mentioned continental idea and even the "superduper league". The relegation process could be worked out for that.

Little Europe
Luxembourg
Andorra
Austria
Malta
Cyprus

I hope this group is a joke ;) If you merge why not stick to real life.. In Europe we have the EU. The longterm plan of the EU is anyway to form a state....I think an EU region will be enough competition for everybody.....probably I would start in DIV 8 or so ;)
