She is the Daughter of Sigurðar Updated Friday, August 12 2022 @ 7:06:57 am PDT

I'd prefer to just up play pools for countries of particular interest to our players. So +1 for upping Belarusian if that country is meaningful to you, -1 for doing it across the board. 2) +100, definitely prefer more realistic names

If you've got a player from Belarus and you want a more realistic name, just mail me. Thanks, Steve Updated Sunday, August 21 2022 @ 9:38:58 pm PDT
