The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version II)

[Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuk]

Wondering for the next time around, are there any qualifications a nation has to have to be in MSMT, considering it seems all the nations signed up are established football nations?

I support this idea. It would help bring in more teams to the tournament, but at the same time you'd still have the same 8 team competition running along side the World Cup, with the qualifying stage set before the Cup begins. Say, start qualifying between the BoF and the WC proper.

No, no, thats not what I meant. I mean, to be in the MSMT, is there a level of achievement a team has to be reached. I wouldnt mind this idea though.

No, 4 nations have automatic places, the other four are issued on a first come first served basis.

ah i see, and do you know who gets an automatic place?

The four nations considered anchor nations: Sarzonia, Starblaydia, Delaclava and Krytenia. Each nation hosts a subregional.

Sorry to be a noob, but by sub-regional you mean like AOCAF and the Copa Rushmori? Or something completely different?

Again, sorry to be a noob

Something different. MSMT regions have nothing to do with NS regions.

In some years there have been 12 or 16 teams, but eight fit the traditional World Cup scheduling best.

I see. Any way to join a sub-region? (Sorry to ask so many questions)

The sign-ups for the MSMT are first come first served (and have been filled for the current edition), and the competition is arranged to take place during the friendly slots of World Cup Qualifying.

All a 'sub-region' means is that it's the city in which a particular set of matches take place. For instance matches in the 'Jhanna Regional' take place in Starblaydia's captial city of Jhanna. I'm fairly sure Sarz uses Nicksia, while Kry probably uses Emberton (I think) and.... I have no idea what any of Del's cities are called.

Correct on all counts. Delaclava uses Catherina, which is his capital.

Of the four, only Nicksia is not its nation's capital IIRC.

Ok thanks for explaining

People, I have broadband. Let the Cyan Crush commence.

[Bettia]

So when does the World Cup start? Are the roster / RP threads up yet?

The BoF will conclude next Friday, then the rankings must be updated. I expect the WC threads will appear sometime next week,

That's my fourth baptism of fire and again I fail!
Maybe it would have helped if I remembered I had entered it.

[Bleak Rock]

The reactions that RP has got have been very kind, thank you. I'm glad it has entertained so many, seriously makes the effort worthwhile.
Expect to see The Polar Preacher's cartoon department to make an appearance in CoH and Copa Rushmori RPs in the future

Excellent. I shall prepare the Shirt.

[Carasatoga]

That was like the greatest ever! Hahaha.

[Starblaydia]

Typical. I sit down, with time on my hands and inspiration in my head, to write an RP. But no, I was eliminated four hours previously. I hate this game sometimes.

Well at least you didn't write a very long and good RP, only to lose the whole thing when you clicked on preview, and then had to write up a shorter, worse version of the original. I've lost track of the numberous RP that I've "lost" on here.

[Sorthern Northland]

The old fool me once quote springs to mind. Might I suggest writing rps out in a Word like program and then copypasting it over.

And your point is?
set a good example

I always Ctrl-C my longer (timewise) posts before posting, so if it all goes mammary glands skyward, you just need to paste it back in.
