With World Cup 85 is about to start, I have some very cool avenues open for how to incorporate this SC vote into a Jeremy Jaffacake RP, whether or not it passes...

But his presence there--and the great times I had RPing alongside him--are a big reason why I didn't fall off NS Sports after a few months, and instead have stuck around with the community for going on nine years now. Even if I still give him flak for that every once in a while
The loophole is this: The Baptism of Fire tournament was created in 2003 as a tournament for new nations. To enter the Baptism of Fire tournament, your team has to tick the following boxes:
- Never played in a Baptism of Fire tournament before
- Doesn't have a world ranking
Audioslavia ticked both boxes, as our first World Cup had been before the BoF had been created and our world ranking had reduced to zero during a long hiatus from 2007 to 2012. The letter of the law? Yep. The spirit of the law? loldepends . It wasn't an unheard of thing to do, and I had no solid advantage in that tournament. Everyone started with a rank of zero. Still: worthy of the title 'infamous'
