No problem.

World Cup Committee Constitution wrote:Constitution of the World Cup Committee
This constitution replaces all previous World Cup Committee rules.

1.1 The World Cup Committee
[blocktext]1.1.1 Entry
Nations are admitted to the WCC in two ways:
i) Posting a valid, timely roster or squad list in each of the most recent two completed World Cup's official Roster threads grants membership of the WCC. This must then be renewed each Cup to maintain membership.
ii) Hosting a World Cup to its completion, which grants a nation permanent membership of the WCC. However, that user may only exercise their privileges as a WCC member as long as one of their nations has participated in the most recent World Cup.

I don't see anything about posting an RP in there, so I don't know why you'd need a list of nations that RPed.

Voting and nominations are announced.

In the highly unlikely event that you want to nominate me for president, just so we don't confuse anything, if that "single nation only" that you put on the telegram to send to Cairnskillen could be Mertagne, instead of The Inevitable Syndicate, that'd be fab. Thank you!

I think this is common knowledge, but just in case....

I have declared myself ineligible to serve as WCC president on the basis of my status as a member of the moderation team.

So please don't nominate me.

I guess a PIS comeback sets the tone for another return. heh

This nation is Libertatis Victoriae, a very libertarian fantasy land, with elves, dwarves, humans and *SPOILER ALERT*... dracons.

That last word alone *should* reveal my identity to the old Class of 54 (that's BoF 54, mind you)

If it doesn't, my previous nations were NexxusDrako, Nexxus Drako, Nexxie, Yveltal, Esmereldus, New Drakonika, Eritai, Nw Drknka and a few others. I know I've come back a couple of times before, but this one is for real, I swear. The previous times have had RL mess with me, this time, I've been considering returning for weeks, and now I'm back!

I have had a lot happen, a lot which I won't (or legally can't) discuss, but I am all clear now, everything has levelled off, and I can finally RP again!

First stop after here? WC 72 signup thread.

When exactly will World Cup LXXII begin, and when should I create a provisional squad?

You can start creating your squad now. Think of names, histories, bios, etc.

As for LXXII, it'll begin after the BoF. I don't have the exact dates, but it'll be soon.

And the BoF will begin right after the results of the host vote are announced (unless the option to reopen host bids wins the vote).

After talking with all of the (potential hosts) about their timing, it looks like I'll miss at least the first half of World Cup qualy matchdays, if not the entire qualification.

So apologies to my groupmates for a total and utter lack of any RP the first week. Here is my planned lineup for qualies for my future groupmates.

As a new member on the WCC i did my duty and sent my vote for the world cup host!

by **Taeshan** » Tue Jun 16, 2015 11:27 am

In some interesting news i just discovered that in 33 cups i have had 11 different Captains. In other interesting news i have now been around for 17 cups since my departure, whereas i was around for 16 before it. Which is interesting. That was a 3 cup departure which is about a year. All interesting things.

Yeah, I've had to withdraw from the WC due to my best friend dying from a stroke. It's not pretty.

It seems every time I try and come back here, shit happens in my life and I get forced away. Might be best to avoid this place for a while. Sorry guys.

Yeah, that was a big imbalance in nominations.

Crikey, definitely surprised to see that.

Why do I always wind up in a group with Prusy Krolewskie?

That's randomness, all pots and groups are made randomly, you'll get used to it, also you aren't the only one who had to face a situation like this one, see, I faced Darmen (Either NT's or Domestic Teams) more than 10 times during my first six months in NS, and that happened until this year, when he CTE'd.

And I faced Coconut Isle for three straight International Baseball Slams and it finally ended when we were put in the same pot this time. So I got stuck with Coconutstan instead.

I've already played PK in the WCoH and the WJHC within about two weeks.

Point being? Like SJG's said, get used to the randomness.
