Yep, she is a fantastic artist. ^^

Great color work too.

For the record, all the artwork shown in the RPs is considered part of my nations cannon.

(Yes that was both srs and done for the pun of it)

so who do i need to pray to so i can get some wins up in here

Margret.

I'd suggest Chomolungma or Syangboche, but that doesn't seem to be working for my guys.

Stick with it, and it will get better once your RP bonus starts to accumulate. It's not uncommon for successful first time nations to be sluggish out of the gate, and then make a late run (yikes for Humaliwo, though). If nothing else, this becomes the season you RP about in WBC 43 and overcoming your adversity.

In NS Sports, you pray and offer sacrifices to Margaret, the goddess of scores and random numbers. Made famous in the World Cup, she's also a frequent mention in the World Baseball Classic.

Yeah. This isn't my first go-around with this stuff, it's just disappointing to be putting in more work than I ever did in the past and still seemingly be getting kinda kicked in the nuts.

Ah, well. Happens. We'll be the Chicago State of WBC 42.

[Schiltzberg]

As one of only four teams that is still undefeated, Schiltzberg is in a good position to make a comback season.

Just need to keep at it.

It does get frustrating when someone doesn't post and they still win when you have spent time working on your rp.

Or writing a great sports rp and lose to someone who posted a rp about something totally unrelated like how to make pancakes or the history of their nation.

Just keep at it. The winning is actually in the limitless roleplays you can create not not necessarily coming first.

Hell of an attitude, but a good one. You're right.

It's just been a bit of an adjustment coming back into recalling how... unpleasant Margaret can be at times.

Hey, pancakes are awesome!

At least I've been losing in ways that are not too difficult to work with for RP purposes. Like game 6, most of the runs came late in the game, so I could blame them on the bullpen, which fits my RP narrative a lot better than having Ihawa melt down.

Just stay the course man!

Our group is a brutal group, as everyone seems to be consistently RPing. I do like your RPs and reading what you got though- best of luck to you

I think calling my posts "RPing" is generous.

As much as a cop-out as it might be, I might have to blame my Eagles for the lack of posting to this point.

It's rare that we win things here in Philly-- I'm sure you understand.

I fully understand.

Does anyone know what the record is for most consecutive top-10 rankings? I've been doing a lot of looking back at my WBC posts of yore, and I realized we've been ranked in the top 10 since WBC 29, a streak now of 14 consecutive Classics. I'm sure that Newmanistan or other early luminaries have surpassed this, but I was wondering.

Also a fun side note, in that streak of top-10 rankings, we've been every number except 1 and I believe 8. Goes well with our career zero WBC championships.

Nice statistic, hard to believe no championships.
It would be better then anything we would have done, as we only went from 7-19 before returning in 38. I'm thinking from the early days, probably only Zwangzug could top it. Cass took a couple classics to get rolling, Qazox had a couple classics of a funk, as did Milchama. Maybe Taeshan is a possibility too. After that, I think Super-Llamaland is the only other possibility.

Llama's run at the top also started in WBC 28, so at best he's also had 14 straight top 10s.

[Newmanistan]

Super-Llamaland did not do WBC 33, and was 21st when he returned in 34.
Taeshan did not start until WBC 3, and did not participate in 16 or 17, so he would not be greater then 14 straight Classics.

Unfortunately not all of the hosts included the ranking numbers in some editions. This looks like a Zwangzug record, just a question of how straight classics it is.

I'm kinda glad we have a day off coming up. It's fun doing the RPs, but you do kind of run out of steam after doing a bunch of them...

Yes especially with NSCF and Olympics are coming up plus all the regional cups and the independents cup
