Just because the 17e is good, shouldn't grant them the right to be in NWL (No offense Pieter) A lot of people know how after a period of time, a regiment full of melee gods isn't always for the best. Not that I am saying you will disband Pieter <3... But what the point is, I think some of these regiments such as the 7thQRC and 1stEB should be able to compete in league 2, they both have some decent guys and haven't seen much competitive action. As DasBrot said, it is indeed a hard decision.
If needs be, there should be a 3rd league, but as Brot (or somebody at least) said, half the regiments might disband like last time.
what you seem to forget Wolfster is the 17e perhaps by name is new but you have to understand I was nearly all the time in charge of the 15th_YR for about 2 years and in special the last year when Falk became super inactive and I kept the regiment going, then when he kicked me those who have been with me for a long time and knew what I did for the regiment to keep it going and more, decided to come with me basically 50% of the 15th_YR ( all the active people we had in there).
What I am trying to say with this is that these people who have come together with me to make the 17e were basically the core of the 15th_YR and others from the NW community who were not willing to join a regiment like the 15th_YR for personal reasons decided to join me in the 17e as it was something different from the 15th_YR.
These People are a group that have been with each other for ages with me as there leader, perhaps the name and the regiment looks new but this is simply a regiment split off from the 15th_YR but by all means it’s far from new when it comes down to for all the teamwork and community we build in those two years of being in the 15th_YR and having relations outside of it came all together in the 17e.
a regiment full of melee gods isn't always for the best.
You are giving not a single argument supporting this, but I can counter it rather easily offcourse our melee is on point in the 17e because a lot of us know each other and because of that know how to teamwork together aswell saying that being good in the game would perhaps be a reason to disband is not making sense either because lets see what regiments totally kicked ass and were around/are still around for a longtime: 91st, 92nd(Donalds 92nd), 17e, Nr24, 15th_YR, Spartans. ( I could mention more but doubt some of you could go back all the way into the MM era lol)
Not that I am saying you will disband Pieter
I have been around now for 6 years roughly in this community from MM to NW and if I felt like I was done with the game and didn't want to continue knowing that I would leave this game soon I would not have created a regiment, but I still enjoy this game and the community + I have enough time to take care of the regiment.
