Hmmm...I don't see any reason to change the Rules, do you remember? I like the Rules as they are now and a not unanymous change it's an abuse.
My proposal it's a compromise, I give up something if you do the same.
Your proposal to change the rule for ALL games is like a bullet passing through my healthy skin, then through my flesh and it finally stops into my heart. I don't want you to shot me, but I can accept a scretch on my skin if it makes you happy.
This discussion started because, realizing that next Phases would have had an odd number of games, it looked unfair that a player could be Germany 3 (or 5 or 7) times against his opponent's 2 (or 4 or 6) times. My proposal COMPLETELY SOLVES this issue, so I think it's much more than a Band-Aid: you're healthy now Simon, you got well. So stop complaining, play and let's see how good you are.
Personally I wouldn't care, because if I don't want to play all I-G games I think I would be able to find an agreement with my opponent, but if you wouldn't and if it makes you more happy I could accept one more deeper scratch and we could change Rule 3 as following:
3) the players choose the map for games # 5 & 6 (quarters/semi/Final). If they don't agree it will be A-F
Only this one. You're more than healthy now, you should be jumping across the room because of a happiness mood's crisis. You've never been more happy than now, in your whole life. So stop talking about BandAids (and, please stop talking about maps and tactics with Rox, LOL), play and let's see how good you are.

This is the maximum compromise I can accept. If you don't like it, then NO CHANGE. Rules are Rules. I will choose my country in the serie's last game as stated before. Tell me what.
