The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version II)

[Vilita]

Day two for drawing the non-RP'ing nation, though this time I drew the team which just drew the last-place team in the group. Maybe I should stop doing three-a-day RolePlays and character development, and just stick to "hey, we loss/draw"...

It seems like Margaret just has no love for the Vhett-Man and the Boys of Gyatso-kai

Stick to doing whatever you enjoy doing

[Michael VII]

The Dutch are doing real well in Euro 2012, two losses and have to beat Portugal by 2 goals to have any chance for the next round.

And, as Arch would tell you, this thread isn't for discussing real world football.

Shh! Let's get away with it while he isn't here!

Exactly!

And in a exact repeat of wc58 (only falling from high place) my team is falling in the 2nd half.

Is there a thread for the world rankings?

[Liventia]

Is there a thread for the world rankings?

No, nor is there a need for one. They are posted infrequently enough for the ranks to be posted in this thread.

Cup of Harmony voting is open (overlapping elections, like a boss, though feel free to combine a vote and a nomination into one ballot if you are so inclined ).

<logs on at the airport after a busy 10 days of professional meetings in the US>

Morning everybody. What have I missed?

<looks at the qualification tables>

Hmmmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I am now....

[Ko-oren]

0-0 home draw against a team that hasn't RP'd, hasn't posted a roster, and is unranked. I'm unbeaten first in my group.

Margaret, I thought you and I had something

Go Holland!

Welcome back!

(Quick everyone hide the non-orthodox literature!)

[Carmadin]

Okay, everyone,
I know my RPs have been lacking, and I apologize for that. But today, I woke up with a high fever, and my creative muse is zero. I've finished the Langauge, and I should get a few IC posts about it before I go away for a week (arrghh) on sunday.
Thanks,

Carmie

One more day to get your presidential nominations in.

A basket of cookies to anyone that recognises the goal I described in my RP today (not the one by van Sorensen, the one that inspired him) from the description of the kits and the way the goal was scored.

[Replying here in order not to spam the WC RP thread]

How does my team qualify for the World Cup.

First, you have to sign up for the World Cup, currently the first round of World Cup 60 qualification is on its final strecht and you cannot sign up. That means you have to wait until the signup thread for the next World Cup is opened. You also have the option to sign up for the Baptism of Fire, which is a competition for newcomers to help them get used to the WC environment and which also gives some helpful rank points, but again, you can do that only when the signup thread is opened.

Yum, cookies.

And this is your one-day reminder for CoH voting. This is also the closing of presidential nominations, and a candidate list will appear when I hear back from ASMV.

[Wight]

At the risk of blowing my fading qualification hopes I won't be RPing now until the weekend as I'm presently residing in a tent far, far away. And I'm not dedicated enough to type up my RP on an iPhone. Damn sausage fingers. Apologies to the RPers in my group... Oh, wait...

There was a time when being called away on pressing RL business didn't automatically damage one's chance of qualification.

This no longer seems to be the case in quite the same way as before.

Whether this is a good or bad thing is undoubtedly subjective.

[Wight]

Ha. That trip to the US does look a bit like one junket too many, Arch! CoH gonna be a tough one this time out, I reckon.

Bad, IMHO. RP should be cumulative and quantity should play a small role, just big enough to reward people for participation without discriminating against people who have demanding RL ties. Just wait til FSC runs this thing

You would be the least likely person to run anything lol. Your first act as WCC President would be to abolish the presidency

Nah, I recognize valid authority. I would go into why I find the authority of WCC inherently valid but I don't want to bore anyone.

And it appears that being 169th in the world and not RPing more than once isn't quite the way to cruise through to qualification as it once was. Nuts.
