...Even with me failing to s?

OFC Jake. Failing to S can be remedied rather quickly. After all, it's all about standing on the base:)

In the last national tourney there were 7 teams participating and still a few forfeit losses occured. (Yes, that was just half a year ago, and even getting 8 3v3 teams wasn't possible.) Sven is way too optimistic about the amount of teams. The countries that participated last time would most likely be in. If you add Sweden, Belgium and Croatia/Slovenia to them, there could be 10 teams at most.
And if that's allowed, I'd like to play for Germany. I've been living here for a few months already, and planning to stay here for at least a few years.

I think we will actually be needing some country alliances (that is to say, if we want a nations cup to be a bit more colourful than the Netherlands vs Poland over and over again), since you need 4 active players per country at the very least (no, not 3, definitely 4; there is always a player who can't make it, who forgets about the game, who had something unexpected come up, you name it; just 3 players in a team is almost guaranteed to result in mass forfeits).

I think it's doable as well. Although the croatians probably don't need me:)

Anyway if the players agree and if they play some matches together I'm sure alliances could be formed and there is no reason they couldn't work out just as good.
The favourites remain the same of course, but I bet some wicked alliances could shake things up (enigma, riccardo, urbs ftw:)).

So Urbs,what do you say? Brotherhood and unity once again?

yeah,good idea.I want to make an alliance with czech!

I wouldn't mind Lithium, but I think that if we don't play it samrt we could have dis-unity again:)

Thing is Serbia has enough players on its own, why should I, for example play instead of say, Afiiko? I benefit of course, but there is no guarantee we will win if I play. And if we lose, all the Serbian players that got left out would be furious.

And if we add to the equation Croatia, with King and his vile temperament, things could get tricky, is all I'm saying. Serbia could be a powerhouse in it's own right. Although I wouldn't mind playing for a Yugoslav team, if that's what you're asking me Lith:)

In current form, the Dutchies would take it easily. You would basically get the CC alpha warteam playing minus Grytolle. Granted, I think Grytolle is one of the most under-estimated players (still!), they should still comfortably cruize to victory. Romania could do very well, if Ana, Kryt and Kenny would do a couple of trainings. Poland has an insane amount of players, but that's not always a good thing (like in the hypothetical case of Yugoslavia - we would be forced to mybe add players into the team not based on merit or on team chemistry but on national faultlines. If I were an ass I could say that each nation should have one spot in every game, which would make me play every game, for example.I wouldn't do this, I'm just ilustrating an example.)

Well that'd be the problem Urbs,but I'm sure we'll deal with the team issue. We could even do trainings and see which team fits the opponent.

Well I'm willing to give a shot. But only if the other guys from serbia and croatia don't mind. I'm not sure they're all in favour of it:)
But if they are, and if we can get some trainings together, then it might work.

I already talked with the Serbian squad. They don't mind,but they can't make a deal about the teams.

Cool, what about the croats? I mean, Serbia and Slovenia (or even just Serbia) are pretty l33t as it is, but Croatia was part of Yugoslavia so I guess we should ask them right? Rew seems inactive though, so I only know king from croatia who plays atm.

Although even Serbia+Slovenia is ok with me btw.

You have like 10 romanians already

Well yes,we should ask him too

EDIT: I'd also like to have Rew in our team,but I doubt he'd like to play for Yugoslavia...

an alliance with czech > team romania!!!!

But.. we have enough players from romania already... More than have to..:p

ya lithium, he doesn't seem like a person keen on that idea:)

I do like him though:)

There should be a rule about what kind of alliances can be made (if at all), otherwise it might just turn into a regular 3v3 tournament.

Anubis,I think our kind of alliance should be allowed. Slovenia and Croatia want to play,so they can play with us. After all,we were in a same country before...

Sorry Ana,but I don't think Czech Republic and Romania should play together. Romania already has a lot of players and they weren't in the same country before (well,not the whole country,and it'll interfere with Yugoslavia),if we are to use the countries that used to exist before.

I wasn't referring to your team, Lithium, I was referring to the random teams that could be made up.

I think if a nation has enough members, they shouldn't make an alliance. As for Urbs, there are more people from Croatia (Snake,King,more?), so a Croatia-Slovenia alliance would be enough.

As far as I know,there are only King and Snake. Even if they ally with Urbs,they'll still have just 3 members. That's still not enough for a team to work,as someone said before.

Well 3 could work, but in practice it wouldn't be a good choice if you ask me. It's always good to have a reserve.

I could join Slovenian team I think, if that's ok. I'm all alone here. Italy is next to Slovenia so it should work, and I'd be glad to play with Urbs :D

thou shalt not defy our plan

Why don't you play for Italy? (wait,are there any Italian players?) And please,no random alliances.

If Slovenia has been a part of the Roman Empire, it wouldn't be a random alliance :D:D

Fine,then I'll play for The Glorious Empire of Atlantis.

funny,Viper suggested the same thing you did when we were joking about some ideas here...

haha everybody wants me:)
U noobs! I skuk!

Italian team would not work. Else I could make a love-alliance with Ana's Romania :)

By the way, it would be cool to organize a 2on2 tournament with random teams (players will decide them).

yup that has been done in the past and agreed it could be fun.

yeah!!!!! 2v2 tournament!!!! I was with Sweet! GIRLPOWER [GP]!!! We pwned the nubz.

Ahh my sweet Ana, she does so love to pwn the noobs!

don`t you?

Random alliances ftw! (Otherwise the only country I can ally with is the Netherlands, and they really don't need additional players).

...then again we haven't heard Rep's stance on this matter yet and he might just still decide to forbid alliances altogether.

ffs this is a national tournament,not a random 2v2 one

And also,allow Yugoslavia,let Gry play for whatever team he wants and that's all.

Let everyone play for the country/alliance where they posses the nationaltity from.

How can you have a nationality from an alliance MS??

Isn't that what we all suggest???

The point is,no random alliances should be allowed,for example,"/ME WANTS TO ALLY WITH THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY PWN","/ME WANTS TO ALLY WITH THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE I LOVE ONE OF THEIR TEAM MEMBERS OK NO????"

@Urbs: With nationality from an alliance I mean that if, for example Slovenia and Croatia have an alliance that then all people with a nationality from those countries can play there, no others.

@Lithium: You said let Gry play where he wants to play, I think he does not have the Belgian nationality though he lives there, just as Veg probably wont have the Irish nationality. Get the point?

Let's make it that nations next to each other can ally
