my team merged with another team, well sort of,  the other team still exists, but i got the best member of the other team on my team  as one of my 2 advisors, and now we are 34 in the ranking, of course that is due to change, for better or for worse in the near future because you never know who's going to challenge you. but i think that it was a pretty good deal, and both of us benefited from it. but, of course, as in your case FaithfulAizen, this is not always the case.  but i agree that history is doomed to repeat itself if they create a US4. But that is usually how these things work out.  live well.

the merge needs to be the complete effort of every member of all the affected teams! there shud be the plan and rules sent to every member to be involved! already iv seen the problem nothing more than lack of communications  between teams and leaders!  the whole idea is based on a good idea!  future mergers i hope can work well if they just take a little time and make shure that everyone knows who is in charge and who they need to listen too! if a merge happens and   msgs. are sent out clarifing these rules then anyone not wanting to do it has the option to leave  before it causes any problems with the merge! and to american mike!  yes friendships are made in these mergers! and hopefully all of them continue to grow!

Here is what I have learned.   Mergers can be good.  Mergers can be bad.  I've seen both.  Teams change.  As new people are brought on it changes the dynamics of a team.  If you like the change --- stay on the team.  If you don't like it---well don't keep playing some place you don't like.  Gotta know the people you are playing with.

Overall the idea of a perfect merger can create a lot of advantages. The stronger team advances, the players who take the game more seriously are shuffled together with like minded team mates, the medium and more relaxed players find themselves with on a team that is less crazy about competition. I agree however, like with any merger of groups of differing people communication is the key, it can make it, or totally break the game for some.
