HATE is a very strong word - xenophobic attitude to an extreme. If you consider yourself an open-minded, intelligent, educated, truly civilized individual then you would have no problem dealing with people of other cultures, you would embrace the fresh outlook, ideas, and vigor that diversity infuses into souls that have been sheltered way too long.

A second team would go a long way into solving the stagnation surrounding micro nations. Greece has nothing to fear with 1,400+ active teams, no "foreigners" will invade your perfect world en masse, - so stand down with your outlook. (Yes, I am Greek - and you embarrass me with your words)

Just a note a little off topick.

A second team would go a long way into solving the stagnation surrounding micro nations. Greece has nothing to fear with 1,400+ active teams, no "foreigners" will invade your perfect world en masse, - so stand down with your outlook.


Please take a closer look at the flag below enzomanya (Uruguay) and the flag of my country (Greece).

I must admit that there are similarities between those two flags but if you look more carefully you will notice that they are not the same.

(Yes, I am Greek - and you embarrass me with your words)


So i believe that you do not have any good reason to be embarassed as a Greek but you should at least learn a little better your countrys flag

You sir have no clue what you're talking about. Didn't it crossed your mind that the REAL world with REAL people is a better place to "culture exchange", rather than a simulation game? Well, perhaps you sir spend a lot of your experience in the virtual world -something that would make the Classic Athica embarrased-, but not me. And to set the record straight, what possible "cultural exchange" could I get with a Chinese manager that doesn't talk or doesn't know a neutral second language, like English? Oh, yeah, I would see more Chinese names in the game report. And didn't it crossed your mind that perhaps some of us managers tend to find that there are lots of websites more adecuate to "cultural exchange" than a simulation game?

No, sir. What only crossed your mind is the opportunity to be politically correct in a business you have no clue whatsoever. I don't know in your Modern Greek and the rest of Europe, but if you've followed the international news lately, you would know that we have, here, in Uruguay, a country you don't know, very very small xenophobic problems. Perhaps you should look in the mirror before barking about "xenophoby"?

You don't know me, sir. You think you can infer stuff from the semantic analysis of my words; I would say one should be skilled at that first before doing it. To say I would HATE having foreing managers playing in my country doesn't amount to say I HATE foreing people. Any proffessional semantic analyst like you should know that.

Oh, and by the way: Did I mention we in our Spanish language have at least 6 verbs to say the English "hate"? Oh, sorry if I forgot to mention that before hurting your "politically correct" feelings.

Oh, political correctness, where have you been!

those are good arguments, Perpete. [on the other hand, if i had the choice to go to a tiny country with only two divisions and 8 active teams, I would go there regardless of language; basicaly, in terms of strategy, they play another whole different BuzzerBeater game]. i'm good with all that.

what I disagree is with the argument that this will be made for the sake of some sort of culture enrichment, and that disagreeing with the propposed method of second-team support is because of xenophobia. perhaps people should take a good walk on their local street and then talk about culture enrichment. i don't think anybody who says or implies they play BB because they get a nirvanesque experience in the forums is being fairly accurate. but hey, maybe it's just my country that has low forum participation.

anyway, it's not a big deal, so let's not go further. the big deal is the second team for supporter. period. the implementation of where that second team will end up is secondary.
