There's no denying the Pacific time zone heavily favors the Bishops. Last log-on the numbers were 49 Bish, 38 Knits and .. woo hoo..! 10 Rooks. Boy it was very interesting with 9 other mates defending 19 fields. Thankfully, the Knits were busy driving back Bishops who, from the Western part(that's right, that Western backward quadrant) of Mindanao, drove all the way inside to near Knit HQ in a straight line, without assistance of the CV. I'm sure this Bish feat was achieved by 'skill' alone
Anyhow, I still think there might be a way to balance things out:
[Idea: Country registration system prior to each new tour]
* Limitations to registration according to numbers balance.
* Individuals register as individuals, Squad registration is done by squad leaders, and the whole squad is registered.
* If a mega-squad or a lot of individuals registers to a certain country, many more smaller squads and individuals will be forced to register to one of the other two countries.
* If certain two countries have too much numbers, other squads and individuals may register to the underdogs only.
* After start of tour, MA will be logged on as what you've registered for the whole tour length.
Sure, this won't solve problems with time zones permanently, but it would better the odds of more balance with other time zones.
Besides, you guys like flying with different people? Well, this one's gonna be totally random according to who registers where. There can't be any problem with something suggesting the numbers being fair, can there? I think a small amount of 'control' is still better than total 'freedom' which we have that somehow, despite the freedom, always produces same sort of results.
