75 is a very significant number. Desirable for the number-hunter hosting regulars.

Would it be a big no-no if I were to sign up for the qualifiers but only able to RP some of it? I'm going on a month long hiking trip near the end of June

Not really. RP'ing some is better than none at all.

I'm starting an international club competition soon and I'll probably use one more puppet to balance the number of clubs in it, and I actually just realized today that more than one user can run an account on NS Sports. It was never actually against the rules but I guess I just didn't notice that it was viable until I realized Neuvo Caracas(if I'm spelling it right) is run by two people...

On that note, anyone want to build a puppet with me that will be used in the club competition first and maybe in the World Cup later on? It could be pretty interesting to RP a country run by multiple users. You can TG me if you're interested.

It's because IC'ly, the groups will all be held in different individual AO nations near Audioslavia and Krytenia. If I read the bid right.
