I tell you, I'll do it, I'll shock you all.

Nice attitude!!!

[Semarland]

Spent ages on Polaaskan's roster. I wish I did that for Semarland for their BoF.

You are one of my personal BoF favourites.

@SJG Hey don't forget you're in the notable favourites list too! But this time for WC.

I'm picking an Equestrian States-SJG final, with the hosts winning.

TBH. I'm not so confident in reaching the final, I'm happy just with hosting it and giving my contribution to the community.

[Osarius]

This is what we call "blasphemy against the great deity Athe".

Why would you worship Athe when everybody knows that Margaret is the One True Goddess of Sport?

Then why do we have "Atheletes"..?

Nice RP, Estenia. Keep it up!

Shhh, Maggie is a jealous god.

[Isula ge Ru]

Well, I'll just say my favorites for the BoF due to fairness reasons about the WC, in WC I'll remain impartial.

For BoF, I think that Isula ge Ru will win this, Polaaskan second and Seltik third.

What a remarkable honor. I'd better crank on that roster then.

[Semarland]

Right now, just a quick PSA guys.

The WCDT is sort of turning into the NS Sport TET - something which I can believe that most, if not all of us do not want. Yes, maybe a few of these posts may be related to the World Cup. But that does not mean something that is minutely related to it (well, in a way) can be posted. Really, much talk about "Margaret" and "Randomresultsguy" and "Tescoemployeethatdoesthenssportsresults" etc is not made for this thread. If you have read the OP, in fact, to quote -

And lo, did Lord Max of Barry send forth his violet salsa prophets to proclaim a new land for the jolted sportsmen of the world. A place was made for them, even referencing the old Forum Seven joke. And there was much hilarity and rolling of dice, whilst sacrificing many chickens of rubber for the Margaret that knows all and annoys all, bringing luck to those who deserve it not, and tragedy to those who post not a roster.

And they did come forth in great numbers to come together and play and discuss and whine and roll dice about sport.

And the sport was Football. Or Soccer, as some heathen differently-worshipping brothers called it.

And they did discuss it in an OOC fashion in this very spot, oh yey, with the OP of the thread being most excellent for leaving Ye Olde World Cup Committee's Constitutional Document, n'shit

So yeah. Let's get back on topic.

Thank you!

They have 5 days before MD1. They may still be putting their rosters together.

[Teague]

Just Vettrera coming in to say that I'll be back with this "new" nation after the close of World Cup 70.

Oh,it's possible...Of these 5 days,3 passed.
But in the last BoF , the numbers of teams with ''active rosters'' was bigger than this edition.
But probably in the next week,all will post your rosters...

[Cosumar]

Good news. You'll be welcome back, of course.

Curious - why the change in nations? Just need a fresh start?

It's still Vettrera, just in the aftermath of certain events.

Yay!

[Boring Paradise]

I'm back after a long period of IRL events that had caused my disappearance here. I should be back and running with new stuff to come if I get the time to.

[Estenia]

Just giving modly backing to the above.

This is a recurring issue that comes up every 18 months or so - but while we generally all turn a blind eye (and even contribute to) a bit of banter here and there, and banter often oils the wheels of the WCDT between tournaments, it can be taken a little far.

This is primarily a discussion thread for issues relating to the NSWC and related tournaments; it's not primarily a chat thread. Let's try and pare back some of the slightly spammy chat, thanks.

FINALLY finished my roster for the BoF 57. Now I need to decide on an RP angle...
I'm thinking about doing a player (or multiple players) POV, but I really don't know.
Then there's also the news reports, but those get dry really quickly.
Interviews are also really short, and will most likely not get me a good RP bonus.
Help!

Do what I do, focus on certain players at certain moments and add a good title, like Time to shock the world(made by me and held by me, those chapters will continue until WC72).

Switch it up for whatever feels right - and feel free to use different mediums within a single update.
Player POV is generally my go-to for when I'm confident I can get something good, which is most days. Match reports are just a thing I can hammer out when not feeling inspired.
