I guess that Qazox will not be able to host the World Cup unless he sorts out his problems fast. However, I would not blame him, he hosted many events before.

We're in that horrible phase where all the helpful types with NSWC Signups access think "well the hosts will have to go through the sign-ups anyway, so there's not really any point to me being helpful and updating the signups thread now".

Seeing as the hosts will be announced tomorrow, it should be updated fairly soon after that.

Don't forget to send in your votes for World Cup 56 hosts. Tomorrow is the day, and so far less then one-third of eligible votes have cast a vote.

This is Vice President Cassadaigua collecting the vote through my puppet Cheergirls since Cafundeu is a candidate in the vote.

Congrats Val and Sorth! Commiserations to Caf and Sarz, you had a fantastic bid.

Cass, I would venture a guess that you do have the authority, considering the President specifically delegated you to do so and it's a presidential duty you were carrying out, but I'll allow a more knowledgeable person to answer that for sure.

I would also agree that you had the authority.

In this case, at the very worst you'd be the president's designate to post on Caf's behalf. IIRC, Krytenia posted when he was acting as president when Veph and Starblaydia were both not around, and I think Caf may have posted something when he was acting as vice president. Or was it TBI?...

In any event, congratulations to the winners.

Caf posted as acting-acting Vice President, when acting-President Krytenia was involved in the bid. So there's no problem with the VP posting a result in that thread when the Prez is involved as a candidate.
