yeah, except I chose to RP and you literally called me out as if I had done something wrong for RP'ing. I RP'd before my opponent and I addressed the bazookas. they were confetti. next time don't use the word "fans" in the same sentence you say "bazookas" and I won't have the ability to do something like that. it was a creative way to explain the bazookas.

I do not recall a case where bazookas are used for throwing confetti, not is it fit for it.

Also, you certainly don't know how crazy some fans can get in real life. Go ask Brazilian/Argentine/etc football ultras...they've done some crazy stuff in past and might still do so. I think I'll leave it at that.

oh okay so you say

and now you're telling me that because actual football fans sometimes riot and go crazy that I have to regard that realistically? nice sly insult by trying to insinuate I don't know about Brazilian or Argentine fans...try living with them. I have, and I bet I could tell you all about how Brazilian fans act. that doesn't mean a single thing when it comes to my RP.

how about this: don't call me out for a creative RP when all I did was avoid injuring my players. that would be great, thanks. i'm trying to have fun with the World Bowl as i and everybody else usually does and i have no idea why you are trying to instigate me

I just said using Bazookas for confetti's quite bizarre and you just overreacted over that. instead of not following to the extra RPing opportunity, you used it and now you complain about it?

Good job. Honestly I was just surprised that the opportunity was used that way. Nothing less, nothing more. I am not instigating you.

Well, from an outsider's perspective, you are not having any fun at all when it comes to this. It's a creative writing forum and you're getting up in arms about how you wanted to focus on a totally serious storyline when there was this *optional* side story that was totally voluntary to participate in. If you found the idea of missiles coming to hit your team really stupid, then why write about it in the first place? It was optional in the first place, so no need to blow up about it.

Just my $0.02.

I don't get this whole gaslighting thing, telling me I'm "blowing up". clearly Quebec was irked enough about my RP to quote it to the OOC thread. I had fun turning the bazooka blasts into confetti so I don't really see the big deal here. Everybody seems to be saying "it's a creative writing forum" and then getting upset when I take advantage of that creativity. If Quebec hadn't tried to start something by degrading my RP as unrealistic, I wouldn't be posting here, would I?

I didn't like the match event, so I turned it into something I did like. Shoot me.

EDIT: If there was some grand misunderstanding, then I apologize. But to be honest, your quoted post with all the periods and empty lines seemed way more aggressive and flame-y than just a "hmm, this is an interesting way to RP bazookas"
EDIT2: It seems like the first misunderstanding was the match events as a whole. It wasn't clear that the match events were optional and I thought if I didn't address the bazooka in my RP, then I'd have to let my opponent RP whatever he wanted to with it.

Once again, Quebec, beautiful flavor text. Made me chuckle at most of them.

I'm finally big enough to be on Gregoryisgodistan's enemy list. My life is complete.

Congratulations!

I get the feeling you like country music, Quebec.

Yup

Uh, Quebec, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the table for Group B is still showing my points for and points as when you scorinated the game between me and SJG by mistake. It should be 59-0 and not 61-28. The table was already correct for matchday 2, but then in matchday 3 it sort of got wonky again.

Just noticed that now. Oops.

Don't worry, the Group B table's fixed.

Greg, I will be doing an RP with a citizen in your nation (a tourist from mine). If I get any details wrong, then please inform me of that, and I will keep them in mind if I do another part.

Hey, so it said the Shytysle-Drawkland game was at 1:11am (Group G game 1 MD4) ... would that be that they tacked it on the day before or just decided to have it way earlier on the one gameday?

Way earlier on one gameday.

Shoot. Well, it was nice RPing this World Bowl, even if I didn't RP as often as I would have liked. Hopefully my rank won't decrease.

What are the tiebreakers between tied teams in the group stages?

Commiserations to Kaboomlandia. I know how it feels to get knocked out too early out of a tournament

From Quebec's bid, first tiebreak (other than points) is head-to-head points. Because you beat Rennidan on the first day, and you're already three points ahead, you're in, unless I'm seeing something wrong.

Thanks. At least my hockey team actually remembered how to play.

Now that you're here, nice storyline you have with Gregoryisgodistan. That is very entertaining.

Thanks. I'm working on a story about a tourist from my nation trapped in Gregoryisgodistan. I hope to have it up today. At least part 1. I go the idea from Abanhfleft.

Please remind me to never send Frenlinian referees to a game featuring enemy crushers. They seem to like crushing referees, perhaps becasue of their fear of whistles?

Ohhh...
