Updated KPB rankings following the thirty-eighth Baptism of Fire tournament are now available.

Note that Colurada, which participated in Baptism of Fire 37 and consequently still has a KPB ranking, has not been awarded any points for its participation in Baptism of Fire 38, as it should not have been allowed to enter.

I just noticed that the World Cup Predential Announcements thread's link to the World Cup Discussion Thread leads to the old one.

Good catch, it's been fixed.

Thank you!

[The Archregimancy]

Have just seen the WC51 schedule, and since I won't be home until June 1st, any RP'ing from me will be minimal until then.

I stress that this is very much not a complaint on my part - I would hardly expect our hosts to wait for me to get home! - just a friendly note to explain why I'll be unable to RP as much as I would like in the first part of qualification, and a request that I be forgiven by active RPing nations if my two teams coast through to qualification on the back of their ranking despite the lack of RPing in the early stages.

However, I do fully plan on actively participating in the latter stages of qualification and the cup y, and will at least try and come up with some sort of roster for both teams in the next couple of days.

Considering he was unranked when he beat me, I suspect great achievements to come from him. And a very belated congratulations.

[Bears Armed]

Talking of BoF winners, are we having another Eternal Flame tournament during these qualifiers too? Please?

As am I. : P

[Undeadzombiee]

Wait til the World Cup when we all get killed... (I mean the recent BoF participants)

[Delaclava]

To all you BoFers: As the tournament is now finished, it would probably be most prudent to take discussion to this thread (it's QoD's call to make, but he seems to not like the OOC posts). Just a thought...

Sure, who's turn is it to do stuff?

Er, yes, I agree with that. Its just raising up the thread over and over again.

[Jeruselem]

Group 12 - Jeruselem with Dorian and Sonya, battle of Dallas girls vs the girls in Pink.

Group 12 - Jeruselem with Dorian and Sonya, battle of Dallas girls vs the girls in Pink.

Apparently, we are stuck together this Cup.

One Group: Newmanistan & Jeru FC
Another: Jeruselem & West Pocono

I keep forgetting West Pocono is your puppet.
Funny how Maggie operates.

[Krytenia]

Group 3 makes me cry.

[Burchadinger]

Secristan and Weeg...

Ouch.

[The Weegies]

Secristan and Weeg...

Ouch.

Dude, compared to, say , Group 8, where you've got Jeru FC and Newmanistan, I think that's not a bad draw.

Heh... We could pull a surprise I guess.

[The Weegies]

Actually, I'm really excited about Group 4; Dennisov, ASMV, Secristan, Arroza and Casari are all long-time RPers, and yourself and Whittoria have got stuck into the RPing side as well, so I'm hoping for a really interesting qualifying campaign.

This time around, I really think Margaret seems to have been rather fair all round.

[Burchadinger]

Jeepers. Group 4 looks like RP to the death...
