I'm really liking this whole idea. Anyone else in the mid-west interested?

Yes sir. Someone will have to explain it in a different way though, I'm not sure I get the whole concept.

Don't forget you guys don't have to be set up the same as the other Combines, we will be discussing some stuff as a group eventually about rules from traveling combine to another combine. You'll need to have a set of guidelines by that point for yourselves.

@Novak, its like an association of groups that are in certain states that set up their own set of guidelines to help guarantee members of their own combine into competitions and such. Alex suggested a few names, one being a Union. So you can kind of think of it like that.

FMA Mid-West Union
Composed of UP TO 30 groups-
15 Div 1 (800 influence) + 50 each week
15 Div 2 (600 influence) + 45 each week
10 Div 3 (400 influence) + 35 each week


Each Div 1 group must host a competition on the date determined by the admins
Div 2 the top 5 influence must host a competition on the date determined by admins
No Div 3 will be required to host a Union exclusive competition

I would like to get about 15 groups by season 2 if possible.

Also, I am not completely clear on the 'mid-west' boundaries.

The point of the Union will be to help each other out in being able to compete on a daily basis. Therefore, I propose that the events be Union exclusive.

I will make my signature the list of groups that comprise the Union, so everyone is clear on who is in.

Suggestions?

I'm in.

Or want to be. : D

Oh, i think i'd be in this one.. not northeast..

My corps is from ohioo. and i'm DIV II

Sign me up, as well.

* I have decided I would like the Union to be a little more casual, please offer suggestions on how we could create this.

Not sure I'm interested in this or not. I like to be able to do my own thing as a loan competitor. BUT if I can be swayed, please, by all means, go ahead.

Please note, I have cut out Division 3 from the Union for now. We still want to be competitive with other groups. So for now, this may be changed in later seasons, Division 3 groups will not be accepted. I am sorry, no one who has replied so far has been div 3 anway

I would love to fill in any one of the Office Positions.

Also, I support letting D3 groups in. To create a more positive experience, I think accepting all divisions is a better idea. Just my two cents.

Alright, I guess if you don't like D3, you don't have to join. I wasn't entirely sure about the decision anyway.

Alright, Novak, I would like you to be the D1 admin. Starting next season, just make sure every player in your division is meeting the influence requirements. Once we get bigger, I will add more admins in order to make your job easier. I would like to offer the D2 admin position to katkatastrophe. And I would like to be the D3 admin. I believe that if the D3 admin belongs to a higher Div, they would be able to be heard better, once/if they join. If a D3 player would like to be an admin, I would be glad to step down.

I'll go for any, but would prefer to be the Division 1 Admin.

Sounds good, thanks!

I would like to join with my D1 corps.

I accept :]

oooh, i have a question!

It is possible to get bumped up divisions after the season is over correct?

So what if you get bumped up, but you dont have the correct amount of influence for the next division?
