Unfortunately, the World Cup Constitution contains this provision, which prevented a Saintland/Ibex bid last cycle:i) Any nation that has previously participated in a World Cup may bid to host the Cup of Harmony.
This means that a nation must have actually entered a World Cup in order to bid. I'd support an amendment to change nation to user, but I'm not sure how everybody else feels about that. As it stands, I believe you'd have to revive Quintessence of Dust (which is on the list of former BoF entrants) to bid for the CoH.

Without anything against QoD/Dark Star, I would actually like to see this changed so as to read -

Somehow it just doesn't sit right with me that a potential host would possibly be one that is not active. Just my 2 cents.

I'd second that.
It seems reasonable that for a cup where invitation criteria is RP contribution during the WCQ that the host should be capable of fulfilling this criteria also.

Sangti? Great, just great. Another WC 65 debutee, the Agilang Dilaw finished 8th in their group with 22 points (6-4-8), which is pretty good given that they missed the BoF.

Hmm, that seems like a good thing to create a factbook for under NSWC Signups, except that it'd be editable only by those with the password (so former Pres and VPs, plus maybe one or two others).
That said, the Nation HoF should also be one, and I'm happy to do that today in between packing and such. I'm pretty sure Equestrian States posted the list for post-66, which I'm happy to get up on there, leaving it to others with the password to modify and update, including making it prettier.
