My apologies to FFR and anyone else active in my group for the lack of RPing, work has been keeping me busy at stupid hours of the day so I'm not particularly full of inspiration. I'll try to get something done for the playoffs, if Liventia qualifies.

Honestly, I don’t even remember if I signed up or not. Sorry about that. Completely forgot about this.

And its Gor Kebab with the big win to send the Vangazi to the playoffs. Gor Kebab had a decent season in some ways.

but we know anything can happen so lets wait and see for the playoffs.

Assuming its correct, its close to, if not ties, the record of being a 17-inning game. Anyone confirm that?

I'm pretty sure there was a game that went 22 or 23 innings several WBCs ago.

To confirm my above quote,

Due to the downtime on the website today, around the key time near the RP cutoff, the schedule is being pushed back one day.
Yes, I realize it was just one game going to be played today, and yes, I realize most of us have been off for a few days, but I have to be fair for the two team involved in the big game 5. Had they both RP'd, I would cutoff now, but I don't think that's the fair thing to do.

Note: In need for a 3rd party scorinator for my games. TG if interested.

Disappointing to be eliminated at this point, would have been nice to go a little further, but Tierra de Castro shall certainly be back next time around!

Look forward to having you back, you were a great roleplayer. I know you wanted to get further but this format was tough for a first-timer, and you did quite well with it. We generally do this every 3-4 months or so.

I'm enjoying this giving myself (and multiple others) fodder for RPs. It's nice to have a villain to run a story with - even if that villain happens to be one of my players. Especially so when his attitudes are the polar opposite of me. (Except for the respect factor, obviously. I have great respect for Cass and the others my pitcher has insulted.)

by **Ethane** » Mon Oct 15, 2018 6:40 pm

Didn't realise the first games were tonight; would have done an RP otherwise. Guess that's what I get for assuming rather than actually checking the dates.

EDIT: Also wow @ Banija result.

It's nice to have some interactive RPing, but yurgh, his bickering with Ihawa went off in a gross direction...

Let's hope the real Liventia arrives in Loudon in time for Game 3 to take over from Livenia…

True. That's a very fine line to try to keep from crossing, even more so when its not one's normal personality. Still thinking on how/whether to work the "mental illness" angle in.

It's clear enough that it's IC. I think he'd be offended by the suggestion that he's mentally ill, regardless of whether you decide to play it that he actually is.

Just now realized what you were getting at. Fixed!

Thank you for a great tournament, and sorry that I was not able to participate much.

by **Liventia** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 3:13 am

It's a shame to be eliminated, but RL work means I haven't been able to RP as much as I'd have liked. Thanks for hosting, Newmanistan!

by **Vangaziland** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:53 am

Thanks for the timely cutoffs and solid hosting. Good series. Glad to finally RP through a season and not fold from the amount of games.

by **Schiltzberg** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 10:55 pm

For the first time since WBC 39, a first-time champion will be crowned! Best of luck to all.

by **Cassadaigua** » Wed Oct 24, 2018 4:16 am

Good luck to the finalists!
Also, I notified Newmanistan that a third party scorinator is not needed for the third place series and he may scorinate it.

Congratulations to the champions, West Phoenicia!
Thank you for allowing me to host this edition of the World Baseball Classic!

by **West Phoenicia** » Sun Oct 28, 2018 6:31 pm

Thank you for a smooth running of the WBC 44.

I'm all rp pooped out. And deserve a much needed rest now.
