So just to clarify if ascendancy and exilition merge but want to keep all 69 players, can they kick 9 and readd them afterwards without any fuss, is that inkeeping with the spirit of the rules? What's the purpose of the 60 merging limit rule? It's not very clear
It might just be a device to make sure the score gains from merging are limited to the top 60, I can think of tidier ways to ensure that than forcing the alliances to kick an extra 20 players though. Maybe there's a greater purpose, alliances shouldn't be able to merge with 61-80 players as that could make them "too competitive" or something.
Anyway thoughts would be good.
