I play in a 24 player kd. We prefer playing as 24 players, due to the fact that most utopians are cowards that will not war you unless they have every possible advantage. So to actually get wars, we're happy to give that +1 player advantage to our opponents. With kd's being merged until 25, I assume this means we keep getting a 25th unwanted player all age that we'll have to keep razing out. To prevent grudges, players quitting for having landed in the wrong kd, more fun times for our kd instead of having to intraraze etc, would it be possible/legal to invite one of my none utopian friends in the kd, have him set vacation mode all age long and never have to worry about that 25th spot?
This could be extrapolated for those who wish to play in 22, 20 or 5 player kd's.
