ok, just to follow up on some things said and asked about in here:

1. Tri alliances will most likely NOT be an option for the simple fact that the game is more competitive without them and frankly, the community is a lot smaller than what it used to be back in the day.

2. 20 player fams will most likely NOT be the setup as they will only make for less skilled fams. It is so much better to have player sized limited to 12-15 so that you can get the most out of your family. No sense in having 20 players and only 11 are active.

3. There will be draft options but it'll most likely be in a 2/2 format at the most. 5 players gives you a good core of players to work with. 1 random, 4 drafts, and some active randoms. Not a bad way to kick things off. People need to spread around so that we all have "good randoms" and not have to rely on picking and choosing drafts. I understand playing with your friends. But honestly guys, why not just chat with them and/or ally them?

4. Pinwheel will most likely be left out of the equation because frankly its not broken so why fix it? The problem I'm seeing from most of the debate is how to merge the galaxies without ruining interest. Andromeda and MW is easier to blend together because not much is separating the two except for the draft amounts. As long as the andromeda regulars can get over losing a draft or two, then all is fine.

PW is a separate type of gal altogether with 0 drafts, 2 allies and a different breed of players. While I highly recommend that everyone in PW tries there stuff in a new galaxy, I don't believe we should force a change upon everyone.

5. Draco won't be closed

i play with a core of 6 people. who play together every round, losing the drafts from 4/4 was bad enough, i dont care about what happens with the two galaxies, merging them is essentially a good idea, but forcing people to not play together? thats harsh.... i found, that in fams, randoms are good and can be helpful, but essentially its all my drafted players that do the hard graft, not allowing atleast 3/3 drafts is  ridiculous, dont get me wrong either, PW is magnificent, the way you dont have drafts, but we already have something like that(PW) and we dont need another PW galaxy, so why dont we just have a nice big galaxy with a good amount of drafts in, not huge amounts 4/4 was a lot, especially in a 12 member family. but 3/3 is reasonable i think.

honestly 3/3 is a lot also. you say your drafts make up your core group. you don't rely on the randoms much. This is sad.

1) maybe your not that great of leader if you can't get randoms active and involved.

2) maybe your lazy so enjoy a round where everyone just does thier thing

3) maybe you can't see that competition in andro is among the top few and not as strong as gals with less drafts.

Now i am just saying when you do so many drafts compared to not quite as many. More fams have a chance of being good. Say there is 200 good draftable players. where 40 of em can be great leaders. You limit the leaders that could lead these other fams. By keeping them in these mega drafted fams.

You could always make a second fam to ally. I encourage you do so as this Is a fun way to play the round also.

Personally i would like 8 player fams. You could add more fams that way.

ALly me Kagar

Gooooo Nolio!!

I think 2/2 would be good.
