Welcome to Associated Godlands, where the 23rd World Lacrosse Championships is currently taking place. This is the everything thread, where you will post all of your rosters and RP's. We here at Associated Godlands are very excited to host you, and expose you to the truest form of life - the worship of God and the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
A quick summary of our nation, as stated in the bid:
The Theocracy of Associated Godlands is a beautiful paradise, located in Rushmore. It is ruled by its king, God, and His sapient mouthpiece, Queen Shirley Phelps-Roper. The devout nation boasts a beautiful landscape, full of rolling, grassy plains and magnificent sand dunes. The geography of the nation is, in fact, so beautiful that it cannot be put to words, as God Himself carefully constructed everything in this nation to perfection. And, for the more cosmopolitan folk, Associated Godlands has its share of modern yet timeless cities. God City, the capital, is the best of these, and despite the fact that it is too holy for anyone to enter, it's pretty great. There are also cities that can be entered, such as Phelps, Repenta, Christville, New Centra, Old Centra, and many more. All are full of welcoming people (as long as you're Christian). And, finally, we get to the best part about Associated Godlands - the religion! Associated Godlands is a devout, Christian Eden, where Christians and fundamental Christians alike thrive, while sinners are put to death as necessary. We here at Associated Godlands re very excited to show off our religion to the world, so we are doing something completely unprecedented. For the first time ever, foreigners (with some exceptions) will be granted free passage to our country, regardless of religion! And, if they inevitably convert to Christianity during their time here, they can leave too! We understand that it is necessary to expose some godless heathens to Christianity, as the only reason they are godless heathens could simply be that they were brainwashed in childhood and never exposed to new ideas. So visiting fans will be granted free passage, one (1) Get Out of Execution Free card, and free church membership. We so look forward to hosting you.

Cutoff times will be around 6-8 PM Pacific Time. Cutoff times will be wonky from the twenty-eighth until the thirtieth, I'll update you all on the specifics as we near those dates. There's a small chance I won't be able to scorinate at all in those dates, and I've made backup scorination plans.
Lastly, we get to this thing:
- Code: Select all
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my goal scorers: Yes/No
Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
Suspend my players: Yes/No
Godmod suspension events: Yes/No
Godmod other events: Yes/No
If you are familiar with sports RPing, this will look very familiar to you. But if you aren't here's the skinny: This is an RP permissions box. Nations will post these boxes along with their roster. Basically, the RP permissions box dictates what an opponent can or can't do when RPing your game. If you select "no" for, say, choosing goal scorers, this means that your opponent may not choose who scored your goals without asking your permission.
The term "god mod" means to do something unrealistic, or, in the case of a suspension, often to decide the length of the suspension. "Godmodding" a scoring event would be something unlikely, like a ball being caught in an eagle's mouth and flown into the goal. Meanwhile, godmodding other events could mean basically anything.
Thank you. I am looking forward to a great tournament, and I hope you are as well!
