. . . why do you care?

Where I live, there is a bicycle event called "Gran Fondo". It is billed as a "ride", however, the riders are timed.

Last year, a rider was knocked over by an aggressive rider trying to "race" to the finish. This "racer" caused an accident that sent someone to the hospital. The other person thought it was a ride and was in no way racing to the finish line. That rider went to the hospital injured because of the racer.


Another analogy might be softball or a pickup Basketball game. Do you play to win? Of course. Do you fall to the ground and cry like a baby if you don't win? Probably not. Did you have fun playing, even though you lost? Most definitely yes.

Either way, too much emphasis on either perspective causes problems. Zero competition is boring and too much competition isn't fun. Let's compete, let's have fun doing it.

In my mind, NF has both a competitive side and a non-competitive side.

While balance is done in the name of competition, GB is for the masses (IMO, there can be no "balanced" GB).

Competitive gameplay, in respect to balancing, is when a group of players can play as a multi-faceted unit with team oriented goals and tactics, where there is a consideration for all applicable game features.

IE, not Great Battle.

Why do you think that Fleet vs All room are required to be stacked against the fleet?

Also, yes there is competitive gameplay as there is recorded stats for both individuals and fleets. There is also an entire Ranking section.

Ranking implies merits are weighed which makes the basis of a competition.
