Let’s be real, at the end of the day RGL is the most prestigious tournament for regiments, it’s for the best players to represent their regiments, the standard should be high and it shouldn’t be for everyone to sign up as many iterations of their regiment as possible, like if you’re good enough you’ll play
Then what's the point of having multiple leagues with lower standards? If it was just for the best regiment to beat the worse ones then there's no fun for anyone other than the top regiments... This argument is the perfect example as to why this game will never get any bigger in the comp scene like it used to be, how can players who are new to the game experience RGL, if only the top 15 will play?

It's easy for you and the other 15thyr members to comment against it cuz you are one company full of experienced people who don't consider development of new players as much as the likes of 45thN and 92nd.

There are plenty of regiments, if someone wants to play they’ll find one, and regiments like the 33rd or 16th who turn up every tournament knowing they’re not the best but that they can work at it and see how they do are there every year

Also considering the 15th are actively trying to develop players the last bit really isn’t fair or true.

My point is if you want everyone to be able to play from your regiment, put them on your roster and let them play, don’t tell them they’re not good enough to be part of the real team and shove them into a lesser league so you don’t have to deal with them, you can either play to win or play for the experience and fun, nothing wrong with either approach regiments should just be honest with themselves

Yet the same top teams force 15v15 to win as it's their 'best' lineup. We could let centre company play, but it's much more valuable instead of letting let's say 10 play be more like 30 - 40 with swaps in a league 2 centre team, that way they wouldn't get steam-rolled by their opponents and can actually enjoy playing.

It’s a competition of course teams will play their best lineup… But if you’re going to be a huge regiment accept the downsides that come with that, equally small regiments have downsides too, if a regiment makes its bed it should lie in it

This is such a load of crap, both you and the 92nd supply your gren companies with players you recruit from outside your regiment, there's hardly a centre player that ever gets moved up, trying to force regimental tournament hosts to bend over backwards so that you guys can support your broken ass model of stockpiling players in your centre companies is just ridiculous. It says it all when, last Sunday in our practice match (15th vs 45thn) you only bring your gren company guys, and refuse to get any of your centre company people to come and match the numbers when we get more, whereas, we play our weakest guys alongside our strongest guys, so that we can try and improve everyone equally.

400 will now be reduced to 40 with the other 360 not being allowed to play and don't want to join another regiment so they'll just leave the community instead. The chances of these centre players joining other regiments when recruited from tropical paradise is little to zero unfortunately.

I completely agree with this. I very rarely see non Gren company players at gfs vs 45thN and 92nd.

Then you haven't played us enough; we almost certainly play centre players, however, most of the time centre have their own event, but if we're lacking or if the opponent has brought more players, we will substitute with centre. Also in at least our Grens, people actively volunteer to sub out to let others play.

Ridiculous post, I highly doubt all these tropical paradise recruits are all so desperate to play RGL that they would proceed to leave the 45thn, and then quit the game because they're incapable of finding a regiment to play RGL in. I see we are delving into fantasy now to try and justify your position

You absolutely won't, I don't recall a single time you've ever done that in our entire time playing regimental practices vs one another. If anything, you guys are more prone to playing below 15 then getting your centre company people "involved".

FYI Last Sunday our centre company had their weekly group fight versus Nr13, you should know better as to not tell fibs as you and everyone full well know that whenever we have centre lads free on free days we always get them to play and that's our policy.

Im not sure who's the one stockpiling on players when we play 20v20 and you have 5 spec last Sunday  ;)

We play as much as we can at every single practice match regardless of skill and even though RGL is the biggest and best tournament of the year that won't be changing^. It's a shame even before RGL has even started other regiments are already planning on dropping and playing 15v15 in their biog matches  ;)

But if you’re going to be a huge regiment accept the downsides that come with that, equally small regiments have downsides too, if a regiment makes its bed it should lie in it

I think its time for you to wake up and smell the coffee mate
So let’s just ignore someone like Maskman who knows next to nothing about leading and the capabilities of regiments performing well in a linebattle type of event.
To state that anyone on a “good day could beat the 77y/15thYR” is just a meme of its own, if that was the case why don't you beat the 77y or 15thYR then!?

You play your best line up Maskman if it 20v20 then play 20v20 if its 15v15 then it is 15v15.
in the Champions League Final teams also put B players in the line up?

Having a couple of thousand active members like the 45thN, isnt rly an excuse to justify a 2nd position even in an other league imo. We ve been getting the most attendance from any regiment in events, and yet we can hardly find 15 people dedicated in groupfighing. Its what you build your community arround. Saying that, yeah we are not the best, not rly care if they end up with 2 them or the 92nd, we just want to be able to fight  ;D

Fietta and mask, its silly to lie when we've played you nearly weekly for about a year. I've seen it a million times where ur gren company brings 13 attendance and you refuse to ask one of your 360 center company players to come to ur gf, please shut the fuck up.

Anyways, if there are enough other regiments, center companies shouldn't be allowed to take their place. However, if there aren't enough other regiments I don't see a reason not to let center companies play.
