Annoyingly, I'll be going awAy for easter right over the group stage, and wont have internet. Apologies to group mates, and good luck to you all.

Also, welcome back TBI.

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.

I feel like you missed someone important. Dont know who though.

...Well, damn it.

Cup of Harmony host announcement

This is a 24-hour cutoff notice for CoH participants. MD1 will be cut off approximately 24 hours from the time of this post.

Reading comprehension/math failure regarding the Cup of Harmony. Apologies to my groupmates for failing to write.

No, I think he's right and the hosts are wrong. It said MD1 was tonight, and it was last night. I'm confused.

Have you read the thread carefully? The cutoff is in the early hours of the morning for the UK, so would be the day before for those in the US. It is outlined in the first post of the thread.

Yes, I just did. I was about to edit and say "nevermind" but then you beat me to it.

Or to put it another way, CoH cutoffs are essentially in between World Cup cutoffs for Groups A-D and E-H. More entertainment for all!

For those interested in this cycle's Under-21 championship, the sign-ups will open kinda-sorta-about-roughly when I assume I would have been knocked out of the World Cup, had I made it.

There's no team limit, either, but don't expect it to be fair to make a standard 32-team 'Finals' stage. "Most hollowed-out asteroids filled with servers full of ByteCoins put into geostationary orbit over Starblaydia" may or may not be the first tie-breaker, with Points secondary to that.

I send ByteCoins into orbit! My victory is imminent!

That would be me! Where's my...

Oh, important. I thought you'd said impotent.

I always forget that there is a two day window during the World Cup, I stayed up late last night rushing to post my RP only to find out that I didn't need to. Not that it would've changed much I would've left it to tonight and posted something similar. Actually probably worse sine I am exhausted tonight.

any more info on the "unfair qualifying procedure" you're gonna use for it?

"Best audio RP impersonation of Ethel Merman", "least uses of the word 'sprocket' in a Roster" and "double RP bonus for an image with the correct mystery dimensions" are all under consideration.

I thought this was supposed to hard?

1) Since the Holy Empire can place as many invisible hollowed-out asteroids filled with servers full of ByteCoins into geostationary orbit over Starblaydia as it wants, and you can never prove otherwise (we already have an invisible teapot), then the Holy Empire would automatically win.

2)

by π by e, obviously enough.

Just as well HEFA never enters the U21 tournament if all of the challenges are going to be this easy-peasy.

Mundies, eh?

My apologies to the CoH hosts and other entrants for the shortage of RP from me. I really expected to have enough time to type up something worthwhile today, but alas...

by **Western Sunrise Islands** » Tue Apr 22, 2014 4:24 pm

I RP for two matches and I don't win. I give up on the last one, since I'm already out, then...

The Holy Empire 0–2 Northern Sunrise Islands

Top Lel, Margaret. Top Lel. Now you know why I'm not dropping the Arceusian Kingdom title on my main nation.
