Due to what I'm almost certain is an Americanised-spelling error, Ferret Civilisation was listed as having a rank of .21 in the group draw. That can't be right, though - ranked 131st before the last CoH, they managed a win in it.

Okay, after a small hiccup, that should be the proper, actual group draw.

Is the first or second team listed in the fixture the home team?

Cut-off for games scorinated by me will be between 21.00 UTC and 00.00 UTC. Krytenia's cut-offs might be at a similar time.

Basically, get your RPs in before 10pm British time to avoid being disappointed.

Matchday one should be cut-off nearer 23.00 UTC tomorrow (Thursday).

Matchday one scores are up. An empire has come off second best against the boers. Again.

For those of you who like the cut-off graphics and would like your own team to be featured, Send a telegram to Audioslavia (not to this account) with a picture of a player photoshopped into your national team's kit and I'll get on it. I do not take requests.

All roster links and thread links will be properly updated this weekend.

Any questions, please contact this account via TG.

Thanks a lot, and happy RPing!

Who the hell are Afrikaners and Boers?


Anyway, sorry for the lack of any input from the Holy Empire up to now. I've been engaged with an invitation to film me hunting Nazis in the South American jungle in July (unbelievable though this might sound given my profession, this is, I swear, hand on heart, 100% absolutely true - I'll explain in the second half of July after the filming).

I'll get a roster and RP up for the Empire later today.

Incredibly in Bonesea almost everyone knows the jingle "oh nine thousand, nine nine nine, four-six-five-six-six; don your trousers dial our line: fortified chicks with ticks!" Which is a fairly specialist poultry advice service for isolated hill farmers who don't get out much.

I'm not sure where this gets us, but the Boney Board of Agriculture is especially excited that one day we might have a match against the pro-cockerel-health advice line.
