Volleyball World Expo VII [Sign-Ups/OOC]

Postby Yttribia » Tue Jul 21, 2015 4:10 pm

Two years ago, a user had missed out on the previous edition of the VWE, and asked this question in the OOC thread.

Cirona wrote:Haha, when's the next one?


Originally planned to take place after the Olympics in the year 2013, the seventh edition of the VWE would never come to fruition.

So, without further ado, I would like to ask you all if you would like to participate in a revival of the VWE. Feel free to make a comment or suggestion here.

Sign-up here, in you are welcome to make a bid.

With that, it looks like there is enough interest in reviving the VWE.

I will officially declare this a sign-ups thread, and those who have previously declared interest will be considered signed-up. Otherwise, state your intention to sign-up here.

Also, host bids can now be made.

There was at least one previous VWE that didn't have 95X in it. Heard things just weren't the same.
So yes this is obviously a sign-up.

In fact, I feel kinda bad someone such as myself didn't revive this sooner, as several notable nations were also interested yet have either CTE'd or are taking a break from NS.

I remember this and only did it once, which I think was VWE 5 in 2012*. Any how yes i'm in.

Edit holy crap it was the fourth back in November, 2011!

Are we still going to use the WVE rankings? I understand if you don't, considering they're mostly defunct with only two currently participating nations on them (me and 95X, I think)

Anyway, I'm in.
