[Darmen]

Western Cuba, you are on! =) Carasatoga has a spot left!

Pre-Qual: ₁Carasatoga v Western Cuba
Post-Qual: ₁Carasatoga @ OPEN

It should be noted that Western Cuba is already playing Darmen in the Pre-Group Stage slot. So your matchup will need to be move to Post-Group Stage.

Darmen would like to face Altimarus in the Post-Group Stage slot.

[Carasatoga]

Ah, oops, sorry. Okay to both suggestions!

Pre-Qual: ₁Carasatoga v OPEN

[Carasatoga]

I just noticed this or I would have said something earlier, in Group A Carasatoga is ranked 1, and Gandham Islands is actually ranked 23 but you have them unranked, which means that you messed up with the way you distributed the ranked teams, but I don't care if they are in our group, just letting you know.

[Altimarus]

Both Altimarus and Carasatoga need opponents for tomorrow's friendlies! Hopefully against ranked opposition, but if not that is fine!

Poop, I'll have to fix this. It shouldn't be that big of a deal but I think I've got an easy way to fix it. Sorry.

[Western cuba]

I'll just post this in case even though you guys already have me down.

You've got your games switched around, you play Carasatoga in the Post Group Stage spot, and me Pre Group Stage.

[Carasatoga]

All right, I guess I have to do it.

[Cirona]

DAMN! Lol, missed out a friendly just by a bit.

[95X]

Whew, got my roster done and posted. Now back to writing term papers!

[95X]

Am I the only person RPing the 4th competition any longer?!

[Cassadaigua]

Am I the only person RPing the 4th competition any longer?!

I'm checking the scores daily, its just my focus right now is the World Cup and World Bowl (that I'm hosting).

[Darmen]

I apoligise for not giving any forewarning for the early RP cutoff, this church service thingy kinda crept up on me, didn't know about it until this morning.

[Darmen]

I apoligise for not scorinating last night, but I've lost internet access from my house (currently at my mom's work), so the Round of 16 had to be delayed tell now. I'll do my best to scorinate the rest of the playoffs in a timely manner, but you should expect small delays in between rounds. Just think of it as extra time to RP. Also, you should expect cutoff times to be moved up by two to three hours, as this is probably the only time my mom will let me use her computer. Again, I apoligise for the forthcoming delays, but there really isn't much I can do about it.

[95X]

Regarding Cassadaigua's last RP:

LOL, 95X was actually a bus route!
http://web.archive.org/web/200101062120 ... e/r095.htm

Although, (and this is discussed in some old RPs on the Atlantian Oceania Forum) 95X broadcasts on 95.1 FM in Pacific City (other frequencies in many other 95X cities) and is the most listened-to station in 95X. I'm not sure what your link goes to, however I've been to the WAQX (95X, Syracuse, NY) site before and something tells me if I went to that link where I am I'd get in trouble. (I actually used to listen to the 95X out of Midland, TX, until I loaded up their stream link one night and heard Quarterflash, meaning they'd changed format. )

So regular life in 95X would probably look a little more like this:

I've been to Syracuse a few times mostly with travel soccer in high school and since the type of music they play is what I like I've thought about them everytime I've seen your name.

[Carasatoga]

I thought it sounded familiar too, now I know why. Anyway, congratulations 95X on your third championship in four tries. I should have the new rankings by this weekend.

!
I was online earlier without logging in as I was writing a paper and clicked on this thread first. So this is the first I knew of winning.
Three out of four total and three out of three appearances, not bad.

[Carasatoga]

You are 3 for 3, aren't you?

[Cassadaigua]

Signups are now open for the 5th Edition! Let's keep this running!

[Cyborg Holland]

I might have a chance of winning this...

Carastoga out, Altarimus out, Delclava out, dunno about 95X

[95X]

Check the sign-up thread now.
I remember seeing some obscure post a few months ago stating Carasatoga was thinking of having the next VWE somewhere around May, which I thought was a bit odd.
Thanks Cassadaigua for getting this going again (I've never hosted or set up a competition before so if I tried I'd likely been ignored). Oh, and congratulations to you on the other thing.

[Carasatoga]

Thinking about reviving this as well, although probably not until summer. Thanks for taking over opening the fifth edition. 95X's reign of terror must end, lol.

The amount of RP in WVE 5 was very disappointing, but it's something we should still have once in a while. Summer sounds good.
