To reiterate, Esparmuran signs up. For the games, not the bids.

(OOC: I needed to clarify, as I don't see my name in the sign ups. I was being daft before, thinking I could manage all this.)

Seemed that I underestimated the workload of the mods to check puppet status for a 72 team field, and I do not suspect any illegally entered puppets, so I decided not to do that.

Allamunnic States (The Fanboyists) will replace my puppet Perlasilangan, as I'm afraid that I probably cannot RP with the nation for the tournament. Signups are now officially closed.

EDITED
Per this post: viewtopic.php?p=20105304#p20105304, which, yes, was made a week and 1/2 ago.
Sorry for the confusion, I thought it would be understood that it was a quote from an earlier post considering Sangti's name was in the quote box. I'm going to stop being helpful now.
Sincerely,
Some 'guy' posting after you.

1) it was just a question and I did look at the list
2) you don't have to be a smart ass about it
3) referring to the guy who posted after me (if that is relevant) the cut off was announced 4 minutes after I had asked to sign up. Again that is...if it had anything relevant to do with not making it.

1. If you had looked at the list properly, there would be no need for a question.
2. ???
3. Nope. The list was the cutoff. 9 days BEFORE you asked to sign up.

I'm afraid it's not. The guy who posted after you was only quoting this announcement by the host a little ways up, which was made over a week before you attempted to signup. Granted, that announcement may not have been entirely clear, but it does stand out if one reads the original post in its entirety.

At this point, I would advise that the title of this thread be changed to clearly show that signups are closed.
