I don't think BP is misrepresenting the conversation on Discord. People just need to remember that not everyone uses Discord, and even people who are on Discord might not participate in every conversation there. For example, the WC host vote caused a big stir on Discord and many people expressed discontent with the outcome of the vote -- but it was the outcome of a vote. Somebody in the community must have voted for that host bid.

We shouldn't have to feel like we're depriving people who only just meet the bare minimums if we're looking at hard limits on the Cup of Harmony, if that's what's being discussed.

I've always been militantly supportive of younger nations who attempt to RP even though they are still new and learning how the mechanics of NS SPort work as a whole. I think the CoH should be inclusive to users who want to learn how to participate in NS and the CoH is a great place to hone skills to be better roleplayers. We've seen examples just in the time I've been participating in NS Sport where people went from small time RPers to talented RPers in a cycle or to. I think We should be as welcoming to new RPers as possible

And I wouldn't have a problem with that in that instance. If there were 42 or 44 or however many main nations RPing to the standard of the hosts, I wouldn't have an issue with that in the slightest. It might mean an opportunity to keep players in NS Sports further on down the line, and like I said earlier, new blood is always great to see. If they're all maintaining a standard of roleplaying, that's cool and I wouldn't protest it. But if I have a puppet not eligible for the sole reason of being a puppet, then I feel like my puppet would have been hamstrung by being unable to collect KPB points for future events, and I would reconsider entering Wreckeria in future events, even though I might have an RP angle planned out for that event.
But if there's x amount of people with their main nations, and they're carrying on a standard of roleplaying and they want to keep going, then I'm cool with it and I'll enter Wreckeria in a future tournament and try to better them that way.

This is a little bit along the same thinking that others have brought up in their perfectly valid points here and in the bid threads; we're trying to come up with solutions to problems that haven't occurred yet. I just don't think we are going to be splitting hairs on the margins when it comes to COH cutoff numbers.
