The "only" problem is, that player base isn't spread homogenely around the world. Ex : you got a shit load of German/polish/russian speaking people, while you get almost no French, Dutch, and Italian people. Of course, you'll be able to find 5 guys, but they won't match with teams from bigger player bases. Look at the German team for example, try to make a team with the current british players to beat this one, it will be almost impossible. Instead of taking cultural ressemblances between countries, try to draw a comparison between countries and their relative player bases, and allow alliances between small countries, and not between the bigger ones to avoid some kind of Russia + Germany.
next tournament is the one organised by Habi or the one coming after the one organised by habi?
I'll be taking over the tournament, so I'll lock this thread. I'll prepare all the new stuff and it will be done asap.
Few new stuff:
* New sub-forum will be presented.
* New rules.
* Prizes will be announced.
Stay tuned!

Nationscup idea is good just adapt the teams as Algarn said
Stand ins/Team size:I'm not really a fan of the mercenaries rule. It just seems like it's defeating the purpose of having teams, in a way. Like i wouldn't really feel like it was great if i had to fight you every single time, because everyone just took you in as a mercenaries, because you got eliminated early on.
The team sizes will be 5-7 players per team. That is 1 less than last time, but instead you will have a chance to use stand ins/mercenaries. Now stands in can only be used if they aren't a member of another team in the tournament or has already been eliminated from the tournament with a team. There's a maximum of 2 stand ins per game.
These fixed dates will always ensure that an admin will be present as well.

I know that it will make sure that people get to play a little more, but it just doesn't feel like it's a true team effort, if you win because you bring in a lot of good players when you need em.
You might wanna read what you quoted again.I think i read it right, but i know how you love to bash me.
Nobody who already took part in the tournament can stand in.
We could discuss if a stand in is allowed to help out more than just one team. Even a tiny addition to the rule like "Stand ins can only help out 2 different teams over the course of the tournament" would completely fix all issues with that too.
Stand ins/Team size:So if a team gets eliminated from the tournament, then its members can enter the tournament as mercenaries for the other teams, as far as i understand.

if it's too hard to form teams in nation cup way let's do it international !!
the goal is just to make a tournament so ... make it easy !!
everybody know the french would have won anyway :lol:
Yes, with all the mercs/vanguards french probably, but they all went inactive, hence the Dutch/French team I'm trying to set up. And even with that, I'm no sure we'll be able to fight off the german team. :lol:
I think i read it right, but i know how you love to bash me.Granted, it's phrased in an unlucky way.

So if i don't want to join a team, I can just stand in for teams as and when I want?Most likely there will be a maximum number of different teams you'd be allowed to stand-in for. Something like 2 different teams max. or something.

Just to avoid people playing for every team once over the course of the tournament.
Besides, it's less about when you want and more about if the teams need you. :wink:
Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
P.S Every team needs me :wink: apart from bagges'
We still have to figure out if they can take part of the prize as stand-in.
