You having failed many times is no reason for me not to even try  we simply do not have the skill base/player base Player base is a concern; skill base is not. we recently lost our one strong player because he felt that NZ wasn't paying well wnough, Could you be more specific? Is that ears or skyglow? goodlove (our resident gosu korean) scarcely plays anymore, rookie is terrible pvz and pvp, sky is inactive, im inactive even, gag[sharky] is inactive, eunji is around i guess.. last i heard he was on seige; but he was flawed- in his conduct at the very least I'm interested in starting a New Zealand team, not a gosu-Koreans-who-happen-to-live-here team. The skill level of Kiwi players doesn't concern me. Their interest, activity and commitment does. You give me a list of apparently decent players who don't play any more, but I have a list of active, enthusiastic players who'd love to give this their best shot. all our traditional sources of strength have gone, trust me.. we dont have the strength/numbers to have a national team We'll see.

Can I join? Actually the idea of a commonwealth team is a pretty good one. There are isolated pockets of players from the UK, Australia, NZ, and other spots. Alone it is difficult, maybe together they can thrive. | ||

I've never made love to a sheep but I've thought about it a lot... Can I join? Fine, but you have to bring Testie with you. Actually the idea of a commonwealth team is a pretty good one. There are isolated pockets of players from the UK, Australia, NZ, and other spots. Alone it is difficult, maybe together they can thrive. Sounds cool :D However, Australia already has national A and B teams, and many of their players are considerably better than anyone we can field. I don't know much about the UK scene, but Midian can try out for the team if he's lucky. On May 14 2007 17:40 RowdierBob wrote: A commonwealth team would pretty much be Canada + Midian. Is eRas still active? He's from NZ and quite good! eRaS still plays, and yeah he's probably the best Kiwi player at this point I sounded him out about the idea yesterday, and he was less than enthusiastic, considering the number of times it has been tried and failed ;p | ||

Good luck with the team... you're gonna need it. If past experience with team Aus is anything to go by you will need dedicated players with a THURST for bw. That's how players like Bren, Lastscv (tung) and du5t made it into the team, developed and then owned. I remember Bren used to smack Testie around during the time that Testie was on the fringe of becoming one of the best foreign players. But ye... you're totalluy right... you don't need ppl who are "skilled". You just need people with dedication and will to play bw and get better. | ||

Also, as long as you will be actively playing nation wars and such, there should be no problem at all... it's always nice to see new nations organizing and little bw communities growing. It's stuff like this that keeps this game alive and kicking. | ||

You give me a list of apparently decent players who don't play any more, but I have a list of active, enthusiastic players who'd love to give this their best shot. the latter two being semi-active at times In observing the last team, there were real commitment issues. eRaS did not particpate Goodlove did not participate eun_ji did not participate Lang was unrealiable, he showed up and was a force but never showed for games GAG is a one trick pony Rookie was a one trick pony Sky was a one trick pony (didnt see his tvt though) R_I's forte was tvp, but tvz/tvt were decent fortissimo moved to italy beaut has commitment issues because he plays at work (internet cafe) Nexies was almost impossible to track down 80% of the people in NZL-1 are ums 5% BGH 10% FPM 5% Low-moeny Your also asking at a particularly bad time; semester 1 is drawing to a close rapidly and hence mass exams are on, also many highschools have midyears etc didcated players around this time are scarce at best I suggest if you are really serious about this that you assemble 5 reliable players (lol goodluck) and get some games going; in ASEAN we won 1 set (thanks RI!!), dont over estimate our skills, we are very much a weak nation. Goodluck regardless | ||
