It really is #TimeForCasaran!

No thanks.

No bias at all.

Remind me again what you've hosted before? I may be interested, but having no WCC hosting experience myself, realistically I don't have much of a chance unless my bidding partner either has WCC hosting experience or at the very least, a lot of non-WCC experience.

Nothing, I'm in the same situation like you, always participating, never hosting till date.

1) I have hosted, just not a WCC event. That's why I'd make a good junior partner, just not a good senior partner. I'd recommend you get more experience before you bid for such a major event. Then bid as a junior partner with someone more senior who does have not just hosting experience but WCC expereince. That being said, I'm not on the EWCC and don't have a vote for BoF.
2) I already found a bidding partner at this point, so I couldn't bid with you anyway anymore. Maybe I'll win and eventually launch a bid with you as senior host once you get more experience.

Competing BoF 62 Bid for you.

BoF bid - #Schotisaki

BoF bid - #Schotisaki

Hmmm, now I feel like we need a cool portmanteau slogan too

Greg, I do have an EWCC vote, and on that basis I would observe that this would oftentimes be a happier forum if you stopped trying to tell other people what they can and can't do.

Fluvique's post reads as follows:

I would like to bid for hosting the baptism of fire, if anyone is interested in a joint bid.

That's not a statement that he wants to be the senior partner in a BoF bid, merely that he's looking for a partner. If a suitable partner came along, then there's absolutely no reason why he shouldn't bid.

You don't need to have the extensive experience you're implying to co-host the BoF. Traditionally, the BoF was used as a means to give individuals with no prior hosting experience the requisite experience of hosting a WCC event alongside an established WCC event host, so it would be entirely within precedent and the event's history if an established and well-known partner were to come along and offer to help Fluvique host the event. There's no obligation for anyone to do so, but it would be well within event norms and precedent if they did.

Summed up, Fluvique's done nothing wrong, his post is entirely within accepted precedent for the BoF, and your own subsequent posts betray a lack of knowledge of the founding principles of the event.

Not all of us have been around long enough to remember the good old days, Arch.

But seriously, sorry if I caused any confusion or offense.

Best use of a gif ever.

You can't go wrong with Bruce Lee after all.
Don'cha agree, Bruce?

It really is #TimeForCasaran!

I'm pretty sure I'm on the WCC, with two RP'd WCs under my belt.

I will not vote for a Casaran format. I was part of it once (IBC 17), and not knowing who I was playing in advance really threw a wrench in my works.

[Valladares]

It really is #TimeForCasaran!

It really isn't, thank you very much.

[United States of Devonta]

In light of recent defeats on the U-21 level we would like to invite nations to TG me candidates for the Devantan U-21 teams coaching position.

As long as you posted rosters in WC 73 and 74, you're all set.

Sarcasm, I take it.

[46566]

Eura flukey git is what you are.

New ranks are up

Apologies to 46566, whose numerical name borked the sheet a little and caused the team to miss out on the 0.57kpb points they were due from their Baptism of Fire appearance. I'm not sure what the correct thing to do is in this situation. I've added that 0.57 to 46566's current kpb points (they're now listed as 'Team 46566' in the sheet) so they can enjoy that extra push next cycle rather than last cycle.

No problems i didn't even notice anything wrong. Kind of late i know.

[The Royal Kingdom of Quebec]

Oh yeah~!

Sarcasm, I take it.

Not at all. I have no grudge against the Casaran nor the hosts and do think that it can provide a good departure from a conventional model we'd normally get in a WC.

[Chromatika]

Will someone be updating the WCC/EWCC lists soon?

[Valanora]

If it's not done by Sunday night, I'll do it.

[Apox]

Will someone be updating the WCC/EWCC lists soon?

I'll try and do it this weekend - they'll certainly be done by the time voting starts. San Jose Guayabal has sent me the list of rostered users from the last WC so it shouldn't take too long.

You don't need to have the extensive experience you're implying to co-host the BoF. Traditionally, the BoF was used as a means to give individuals with no prior hosting experience the requisite experience of hosting a WCC event alongside an established WCC event host

Such as BoF 60, the best BoF which of course was a glorious warm up for what I am sure will be an inevitable Euran/Valladar World Cup.

One day...

Well, you and Valladares both had some hosting experience. I think Arch is referring to people with no hosting experience at all, unless I'm misunderstanding him. I don't recall that happening in my time here, but Arch has been here before any of us, so if he says it happened in the good old days, I trust him.
