1) Still a work in completion, but I thought it'd be nice to post everything done already
- a) I don't plan to change the order of characters after the draw. It's really done as it should be.
- b) There's no particular order. Really, no reason to place the characters as they are.

2) Sorry, Jeruselem, but I couldn't add the image you currently use as a flag because I couldn't deal with Katy Perry staring at me while I done the other half of characters, hence I did a small improvised flag with Israel's real life flag. I hope you don't mind.

3) The DLCs will have a panel just like the other characters, but I'll do that later, because It's tiring to do four of these, let alone a fifth.


Top quality as always, I like how last WC I was some young metro kid and now I am a guy that appears to be in his mid-30's and obviously someone that would be considered to be 'evil' as evidenced by the small round sunglasses and glove.


I figured out switching you from character to character would be funny. Plus, I had something on my sleeve to explain it.

Babbage is back? Good, Cass, FR, and I needed someone else who presided over a World Cup where the winners of the first group stage didn't automatically qualify around ;)


In terms of actual announements, the draw channel is set up and good to go. You'll be able to find it on irc.esper.net, with the room name #worldcup68draw. The draw will start a little bit after 90 minutes from now.

I have updated my IC information (posted earlier today) to reflect stadium assignments. As each of the 24 stadiums in the Free Republics will be used for just 1 match in the group stage, that match is listed next to the stadium's name (along with the matchday on which it will take place).

And for those who may have missed, the game now has the twelve promised DLCs. Common RP shall be posted tomorrow. Let's take the machine down!

And before you say anything, yes, I'm aware some were recycled. It's a bit difficult to come with something special for more than 40 folks, specially when you're basing your game out of King of Fighters 2002 of all games.
Also, if you read this, you automatically lost the game. I know it's an old shtick, but damn.
