The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version II)

[Qazox]

Speak of the devil...

We have a BoF bid.

I am looking for a co-host for the 47th Baptism of Fire, if you are interested, please TG me before the Round of 16 matches of the World Cup are completed.

[Audioslavia]

The sign-up for World Cup 60 should be started soon and should start some-time May.

Tempted. Very tempted.

G'wan g'wan g'wan g'wan g'wan...

[Wight]

Since I'm out already and packing the proverbial bags for Livvy, Civvy & the Cuppa Harmony (that's my contribution to this very musical world cup series) I would like to extend my thanks to Polar Islandstates and Vilita for all their efforts in delivering a faultless competition. Many thanks!

Ditto here. And good luck to those who made it to WC proper.

[Thatius]

Argh, so close! Didn't qualify, but oh well. Good luck to my groupmates, Holy Empire and Antoletia!

[Mangolana]

When will the play-off matches be posted, just wondering.

Edit:Nevermind

[Equestrian States]

Equestrian States 0–0 Jeruselem



I didn't see that one coming. Didn't even have the chance to RP today...

Thank you Margaret.

Anyways, good luck to all you World Cup folks and thank yous to the hosts; I'm off to the CoH.

[Saugeais]

Now that I have auto-qualified, now I must set my sights on actually getting points this time around.

[Liventia]

I can confirm initial invitations have been sent out for the CoH; more will be sent out in the coming days, including after the playoffs are over, once CC and I agree on who else to invite.

[West Angola]

Thank you to Vilita and Polar Islandstates for an excellent World Cup 59, and thank you to Liventia for the Cup of Harmony invite. Good luck to Akbarabad, Stachland, and all those who qualified for the World Cup proper!

[Jeruselem]

Equestrian States 0–0 Jeruselem

[Phoenigetuzstha]

Good luck to those in the World Cup proper, especially Jeru FC & The Archregimancy :')

And now I'm 94th in the world! Yay!

Also, because I'm quite new to actually RP'ing and bothering to compete in te World Cup, I've heard the Cup of Harmony is an invitational tournament, but what are the requirements to qualify for a place in it?

[Ko-oren]

Usually, active RP'ers that do not qualify for the World Cup get invited. There are no specific requirements, but if you actively RP, you'll probably be invited.

Okay, thank you

[Eastfield Lodge]

Ah well, expecting Taeshan to lose to the group bottom-dwellers was maybe too much.

But still, congrats to Vilita and PIS for a smooth tournament so far, and good luck to all those in the playoffs and beyond.

[Starblaydia]

138th? I didn't even start that low back in WC15. Surely I should have dropped out of the ranks by now.

[Ko-oren]

Climbed to 84th, now time to not drop. As long as I can actually RP a bit before the next WC cycles, and that neither are in the middle of my vacation

[Eastfield Lodge]

And I'm now back to where I belong, the mid to high 40's.

[Jeruselem]

Good luck CoH teams. Lots of unlucky teams there who failed to make the play-offs by not much.

[The Icemark]

Good luck CoH teams. Lots of unlucky teams there who failed to make the play-offs by not much.

Or by a hell of a lot

[Yesopalitha]

Unless you were here when there weren't as many teams, or Margaret loves you (like Chetkosk), you don't make it to the WC the first few cycles...-

[Cyborg Holland]

67th...All we need to do now is break into the top 50...

[Audioslavia]

105th eh? Five more places and we'll be back where we started in World Cup 4.

Huzzah!

[Octinstine]

Moved up one place to 65th, at this rate it should only take another 64 world cups to get to the top.
