Hello Stefan, a large proportion of the players out of the 33rd man 15 man team were not trained in the 33rd. (alot of old NW players have joined recently
) But as you know it is frustrating having to keep 10 people in spec because a regiment wants to win by bringing the minimal. Imagine every NWL game was like that, where you only brought 15 people.
Know better? 59th allows all players to play. We don't deliberately spec or turn away members.
The hypocrisy is Spoons complaining before Christmas about regiments using old players jsut to play for NW. How its unfair on regiments like the 33rd.
One month later Spoons recruits a shit load of ex-63e ex22nd players etc. With Stark later saying (he will deny) on GF he just turns up for 33rd 1v1s. Which is fine, but as you can see below Spoons was moaning rightly about this last month.
To summarise. 1. Bringing 15 to increases chances of winning is dubious. 2. Large proportion of your team have recently joined. 3. Why kaide attacking 33rd? Because kaide started his wonderful NW times in the 33rd. Who then based the 59th on the 33rd morals. Training your own players, high-discpline, mult-companies, servers etc. I'm just confused why the 33rd broke tradition this NWL.
Being under the assumption that this rule is in place to combat reg-hoppers -
Invites =/= Reserves, give the old and the inactive members the dignity of being able to contribute to their regiments.

I agree that Reserves (commonly formerly very active / veteran members of a regiment) only turning up for NWL matches isn't an issue, many of them having far less time or interest in the game, however having proven their loyalty to that particular regiment. However I don't believe that members who are relatively new to a regiment, who just join for NWL and do not interact with the rest of the regiment should be allowed to play under this rule, often only staying for a single season or several matches. Regiments that do this are basically giving invites a rank so that they can win with false strength.
A season or two back we had personal experience with this, allowing stark and herishey in the 33rd we thought great, two good players to join our community. however after attending 1 or 2 normal events they wished to be in reserves and only play in NWL, not even interacting with our members outside of these matches. We (myself and st3fan) decided that we would rather lose fairly as the 33rd than win with fake members which is why I am very glad to see this rule. It may be hard to enforce but it at least adds a moral code for regiments.
