If I finish both tonight (not sure if I will but maybe) is it fine to split them in two?


I don't see problems with it, it's completely understandable.


Thanks :) Thought I'll ask cause usually I avoid double posts.

As per one of my RPs in the WC thread, I'd like to ask if anyone has any Schiavone players playing their domestic leagues who may be eligible to play for our national team. We're not doing great and we've not even started yet. And also, if any teams who are not playing on match day 2 would like a friendly, to make sure that the team aren't missing out on a match (and a chance to RP) on the day.

Finally got around to posting an RP. We just had a while without tournaments, and before I couldn't find the time. It felt like it was the first time writing one of these things again.

In other news, hopefully an actual printed flag of Ko-oren will be delivered soon, I'll upload pics.

Details for the starting line-up, and for one [so far] of the substitutes, have now been added to my roster post.

Per This Post; The Turori National Team are in the market for a new kit provider and are preferably looking for a provider that can have prototypes ready around the mid-way point of World Cup Qualifying.

Any kitmakers left out there that want to take a stab at it... go!

While I don't expect to get much international involvement for my competition RP that I will be running with this cycle, if any one does have a favourite Suns player they think should be on the team, or even wants to vote based on the descriptions given, shoot me a TG and I'll factor that in to the consideration.

Also, if anyone wants to join in on the celebrations, I do have some friendlies on the FFS thread that still need scorination...

A memo to everyone: Kirola is not closed.

As I have stated time and time again, and even wrote on the first and last pages of the Kirola thread, it is the OOC storefront that is closed, not the IC company.

Turori's decision to play in random brown rags is not because Kirola stopped supplying them, it's because Turorians are weird.

Carry on.

Please TG me with candidates in the next day or so and the manager will be announced soon.

Host Announcement: There's a good chance that my cutoff for Friday will be way earlier than usual, probably six hours earlier due to family commitments making me to do a trip to an internet-less zone while Saturday's cutoff will be 2:30 hours earlier by the same reason, the cutoff could be (Friday: 20:30 UTC - Saturday: 0:00 UTC)

I'll confirm tomorrow this information.

Well, no, if there are none by mid-qual the deadline gets extended. If we have one, it doesn't.

Yep, all WCC bids generally have their own bid threads.

With several CoH bids in the works now it seems, I'm setting the bid cut-off date for MIDDAY UTC 22nd FEBRUARY 2016. This gives any potential bidding parties just under 46 hours left to post a bid.
