Indeed.
I'm just waiting for Qazox to re-emerge and deface the results with "BUST" or whatever he did that I can't fully remember after WC50.

Everyone is worried about brackets, and here we have a better tournament. Expect a roster from the only team to win 4 times in five years tomorrow. I might put one up for Sandberg too.

Hmmm, maybe a bit of a jealous yawn over WBC 37??? ;)

My propaganda newspaper has made its annual post of the roster.

Is it just me, or did Schilotzberg's ego get bigger after losing than it ever was when they dominated the WBC?

It was already pretty big. :P You guys wouldn't believe it, but I'm actually a really modest person irl. I like playing the arrogant card in the WBC though, because it's fun and I can, since the boys really are that good. :)

For those of you making rosters, I thought I might put the link I use to make SLL's uniforms here. You can get a decent variety of styles on here (I even put a crest on mine).

It may be the length. The roster is the only thing I can't post. I posted in technical, so hopefully someone there knows what's going on.

I don't know what your problem is FD. I've never experienced that before. I've had it where NS didn't work, but then it usually would come back in a couple hours, so hopefully that is the case here. I made a very complicated graph and ended up figuring out that this is indeed the season that has the most WBC champions present at the start of the season though it is tied at eight with WBCs 19, 26, 27, 29, and 30. WBCs 26, 27, and 29 finished with first-time winners, so technically had nine champions at the end of the season, which could ultimately be the case at the end of WBC 39 as well. I will (hopefully) do a more detailed RP tomorrow explaining it.

Saintland helped me. The photo sharing site I used for my recent roster (sli.mg) went down, and I still had images from it, so the server got confused. The problem should now be fixed.
