Qi, anyone can change their surnames to make it British, that doesn't make them technically British, also there are surnames from other countries which are the same. Anyone who lives in the country, though they may be from a different country like Awesomeguy, currently are residing in the UK and therefore are allowed to be in the British League.

Also would you mind saying those 2 surnames, or only talk about how they originated from old Britain?

Additionally, you didn't answer my question. Are your grandfathers from Britain, or only have British surnames?

Dead, the phrase was "more 'British'" and not "more British." It is a subtle reference to how they first said

"the requirments are to either be British or have any relation to Britain"

I established "any relation to Britain" and was questioned.

Qi just join if you want, I can't be bothered to take this argument any further. We need more competition and players anyway.

Seeing that my "Britishness" is now acceptable, I think I'll instead opt for a splendid isolationist approach. The fun of joining was tarnished by the hassle of trying to join. Cheers.

So after arguing about why you should be able to join you have decided that you don't want to?
Did you always have the intention of not joining or did you only realise that wish now?

I originally planned to join, play, chat and have fun. Chatting was the main reason I wanted to join. But the chat is not especially enjoyable here and the rules for joining were set, changed and then ripped up. Not fun.

An alternative history: In ancient times the Macedonians wanted to participate in the Olympics. It was asked: Do they have Greek blood? Do they speak Greek? Do they believe in the Greek Pantheon? Do they have Greek customs? The Macedonians thought they did. So they sent a delegation. When the delegation arrived they were asked to show their passports and asked "but just how Greek are your grandfathers?" Meanwhile, the Persians living in Greece who might only speak or write broken Greek and whose familial customs differed were allowed to participate, without any questions asked. Feeling insulted, the Macedonians went home.

Racism is bad.

Look don't you get it guys 'British league' meaning it's for British people. I have nothing against other countries I didn't say that. It's just I made this league for British people to get together and play fun games. There's an French a USA league also. Non- Country base is Promotion league and ladders and RR. Thankyou's

I would like to join.

Dead piggy this isn't racism. But anyway I don't think the requirements for joining should be too stringent since it would be hard to prove any claims either way.

Chicken added.

Nationalism is bad.

Please add me in

Damn it Qi,the idea more British is ridiculous and i have a British citizenship,passport,and i also live in Britain could that not make me non British then again if we use your idea most Americans could call themselves British.Even if i was post modernist Brit does that mean i don't know the English language as well since you excluded me.
