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

As Newmanistan has declined to run it, do you think that you could handle the scorination?

As mentioned previously, I will be volunteering for the RL World Cup in South Africa, and will be leaving on May 28 and will be gone until approximately July 20. I'll try to RP as much as possible until I leave, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to RP at all while in South Africa, as I don't know what level of access to the Internet I will have.

So, apologies to those in Group 10 if I suddenly stop posting. I'll try to wrap up any existing storylines I have prior to my departure.

Well, I wasn't suggesting that Newmanistan run it again. I was asking who, in the spirit of the competition would be next (the one who dropped off). Of course this doesn't have to work like this every time. The answer, it turns out is Secristan, not that I'm at all saying that they have to do it.

I could do it potentially, with the wc fitting fairly neatly into my summer holidays, I won't be disappearing to write essays during the tournament as happened last time. Even so, I would still plan to compete if I did host it, not sure what other people would feel about that.

As a side note, one of your WC50 rps mentioned me having won the last two Eternal Flame tournaments, when I have only won Eternal Flame 3. Not that important but I thought I'd tell you. :)

I believe that scorination takes place at around 01:00 UTC daily, so as I write it should be about 3 and a half hours.

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

Oh god no! So I'm probably going to get steamrollered by Jeru FC, who will be the highest ranked (as far as I can remember) team I have faced, steamrollered by Newmanistan, and also beaten by QPeMA (stupid CoH curse) and given our record against unranked teams (lost 3 and drew 1 previous qualifying), we'll get beaten by them as well. Not looking good, I'd say.

That's probably because of whatever time zone you're in, the matches were scorinated early in the morning UTC.
