The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version II)

[Michael VII]

I believe in working smarter, not harder, and have already found a quick way to update the totals so far. Just need to add the last two rounds. I can have them done almost as soon as the tournament ends.

Okay thanks. I also just want to put my opponents' ranks next to their name on my friendlies list.

Also, where do we RP for Friendlies? In the World Cup proper, thread? Or in a separate thread?

[Qazox]

Just to reach a wider audience...

Please note that any references to any nation mentioned within any of my RP's this World Cup cycle is intended as a shout-out to the some of the many nations I've played over the past 125+ IC years for Qazox' World Cup competition. Please keep in mind that the main setting for these RPs are over 10,000 years into the future, and as such the "potenial futures" of the mentioned nations should be taken with a very huge grain of salt. If you do have a problem with me creating a "potential future" for your nation, please TG me by July 22nd, and I will not mention a specific future for your nation, though I might mention your nation only in passing. I will not mention a potential future Sarzonia or the Archregimancy/AIF due to obvious reasons (Sarzonia: most of us know why and Arch's nation(s) could theoretically still exist as is in 13137...)

[Andossa Se Mitrin Vega]

I would like to thank my cohost for an excellent BoF. His were the ideas that set things in motion. For my part it was a blast to host with someone who had all the i"I"s dotted and "T"s crossed long before we ever looked at an RP. A wonderful BoF K&P. Thank you.

[Michael VII]

I'd like to congratulate the Winners, the Runners-Up and all participants in BoF 43! And of course, a huge thank you to both of our hosts! But as I was is in groups to scorinate, I'd like to congratulate Andossa Se Mitrin Vega especially for being a great host.

So...when does the world cup start? Or the Friendlies at least?

[Starblaydia]

New rankings are up.

Awesome. Thanks for your continued efforts in updating these, Zwang!

[Qazox]

My congrats as well to K&P/ASMV for hosting a well-run BoF. And to Kalumba for winning it. Good luck to all in qualifying.

[Jimmer Fredette]

Yay!I'm ahead of Armorgames.

[Valanora]

Host Announcement

The Qualifying Draw and Pre-Qualifying Friendlies are tenatively scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 19th. Please TG all confirmed host scorinated pre-qualifying friendlies to Vyinta no later than 12 pm CDT Tuesday if you wish for the hosts to scorinate.

[Valanora]

Host Announcement

Due to CTEs, Signups are temporarily reopened. The first 3 nations to sign up in this period will be admitted to the WC. The five nations on the "waiting" list have been added to the WC as well.

[Logria]

Logria take a place as puppet of Krytenia. We'll happily go to the back of the queue if more than three nations jump in though.

EDIT: OOC puppet only. IC, the two nations are completely unconnected.

[Branta Island]

As stated in the actual WC signup thread, Branta Island enters as a puppet of Saugeais.

[Saugeais]

And once again, Saugeais will confirm this.

[Valanora]

Singups are once again closed, the draw will be posted later this afternoon/evening.

[Sorthern Northland]

I managed to lock myself out of my house for much of today, which meant the friendlies were later than I'd planned to do them. For the qualifying matches I intend for the scorinations to be done around 2-2.5 hours earlier than they friendlies tonight were.

[Krytenia]

I managed to lock myself out of my house for much of today...

Your World Champions, everyone!

[Valanora]

Host Annoucement

Matchday One will be scorinated tomorrow, Wednesday July 20th.

[Jimmer Fredette]

You didn't get my Pre Quals with Armorgames and Chenkoyra.

[Valanora]

They were sent past the deadline to get hosts to scorinate them, sorry.

[Kagdazka and Pazhujebu]

Oh, man, this group is gonna be fun. Really, really fun.

[Sarzonia]

ATTENTION HOSTS:

My pre-qualifying friendly was supposed to be against Andossa Se Mitrin Vega, not Astograth. I do not recall having received a request to play him, nor have I confirmed such a request.

I would not have requested the match at this stage because of our mutual participation in the Mike Sarzo Memorial Trophy.
