It’s a best three out of five series. Since they won the first three races, they advance to the next round.

Can we please stop dogpiling on Euskirribakondara? We were all new once, you know. Also, the VII Olympics are a year away, and a lot can happen between now and then.

Now, I agree with Krytenia's sentiments completely - but, that is godmodding, where you say what another users' people do without their permission. Chenkorya has said his people don't make soap operas, and you've turned around and said that they do - now that is unfair, if Chenkorya had agreed to this, that would be quite alright, but, he has said they don't - so don't take control of his characters.

I'm not taking control of his characters....... it's just that people in Euskirribakondara, who claim to be Chenkoryans (we're not sure) make soap operas in our country.

But these people represent someone else's nation. If the user behind that nation says his people do not make soap operas, then you cannot say that some of his people make soap operas anyway. Part of being a responsible roleplayer is following other nations' RP permissions; so if Chenkorya doesn't want you to do something, then you shouldn't do it.

If you had worked something out with him in advance - for instance, if he had told you to do anything with his people - then it would be okay. But it is not okay to ignore another nation's wishes just because his people are under the umbrella of your own nation.

And Euskirribakondara, for some strange reason, does very much with my people ^^

My school starts today, so my loads of homework too, so I think that my RP'ing will go back to one RP per matchday.

Dang it! What is it with all of this bad luck I've been having!? What the heck is wrong with my athletes!?

You would think my bad luck days were behind me when I won those medals on Day 3, but the bad luck just came back and it's worse than ever! Ugh! I can't seem to get break!

Although, this does give me an idea for a rp plot, where a bunch of politicians furious that my athletes have only managed to win three medals, start threatening to remove all of my nation's athletes from the Games if they don't win at least one medal of each kind (gold, silver, and bronze) by Saturday. Now, Cafundeu and everyone else, I'm not acting like a sore loser here, although I would like to win some more medals, I'm simply doing something where my athletes are piled with stress and pressure.

Is everyone cool with this idea? Oh, and don't worry, if I don't win any medals by this Saturday, I'm not really going to withdraw from the Olympics. I'll probably have someone overrule these arrogant politicans, letting my players stay in the games.

You seem not happy about winning more medals. Some of us have not won one yet. So...it seems almost snobbish to me, but go ahead.

I noticed i made a mistake in some of the rowing events, qualifying just 9 entries. It'll be fixed tomorrow, by automatically qualifying those who should have had through the heats and having an extra repechage to fill the remaining spots. All of today's results are valid.

There's been an oops...

Brianna Sagitta was not included in R4 of the women's archery; looks like Irene Paredes (COM), the archer she beat in the previous round, was advanced instead in error.
