Why you played Astrogath, I'm not sure, it wasn't on my list, but the friendly with ASMV was not scorinated due to ASMV having two host scorinated friendlies already in place.

If you look at his list, mine was supposed to be one of the two.

Oh well. He and I can always get someone else to scorinate the friendly.

So, how does this qualifying thing work? If there are 20 groups, and 2 hosts, how do we get our other 10 participants?

I'm going to assume either 10 best runners-up, or you get the 20 runners up into 10 playoffs, and the winner go through...

by **Aguazul** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 7:55 pm

There will be playoffs among the runners-up, yes.

Indeed, the only match I requested was at home against Chetkosk, which wasn't scorinated.

And may I echo K&P in saying that I very much look forward to Group 7

Say, that Elrohir Culnámo looks an awful lot like that Simeone Di Bradini...

Twins separated at birth, perhaps?

No, merely yet another instance of Erathore directly copying everything I've ever done. I suppose I should be flattered, right? *shrugs*

If you're going to be Al, then I quit right now. Unless Arch can be Ziggy.

You discriminate against kangaroos? Expect a mob of angry kangaroos who like football to show up at your doorstep really soon. Geddit? Mob?

Note to Host:
Darmen is ranked 247th, not 246th as stated in the OP of the RP thread.

by **Kagdazka and Pazhujebu** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 2:31 pm

Note to all:

The RPs I'll be using for this cycle will be a web TV show entitled Grilled Brie for 3, which is itself heavily inspired by Fondue for Two, a fictional web TV talk show from an unnamed American high school musical show. I'll be looking to have the most unusual people possible for this show. So, even if you aren't in my group, please TG me if you'd like to see one of your characters on the show.

I thought once I got near the Top 50 in ranking I would escape those random upests versus UNRANKED teams that haven't even posted a roster.

Churchma 0, Ma Raque 1

I hate you Margaret.

Haha literally just started cracking up. Everyone around me is looking at me like I'm crazy because it's quiet in here. With the kind of luck that she has planned out for me so far, I may be lucky to finish the group stage 0-1-13.

Sorry, I'm not trading scores with you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We lost to Landau Institute again! I'm sad now.

by **Kagdazka and Pazhujebu** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 6:20 pm

The following will probably be interpreted as a grievously offensive whinge and will be responded to as if I had shot somebody's dog, but whatever:

I would like to request that any RP bonus for the RP I posted this afternoon (if you're CDT like me) be assessed to the pre-MD1 period retrospectively. It was intended to be posted before the RP cutoff. I think it's only fair to an RPer who works hard on something and then jumps online to discover that the host has spontaneously posted the cutoff a full hour and fifteen minutes earlier than the previous day. I'm not asking for a re-sim or complaining about the result. Just want to get credit for that in the end, rather than just having it lumped in with my pre-MD2 RP.

While I'm whining, could the hosts please give some kind of warning if cutoff times are going to jump around in the future? I understand that sometimes RL throws stuff at you, but I just hosted a WCC tournament myself and I know for a fact that it is not that hard to write a brief post in the Discussion Thread warning participants that a cutoff is going to be early.

I'm 1-0-1 against them.
Yet I'm 2-0-0 against The Babbage Islands.

There was a post saying that scorination times would be earlier than the friendlies.

Ah. Missed it. In that case, I apologize for having raised a stink about the lack of warning.

My first request still stands, though. If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like that RP to be retrospectively considered as being pre-MD1, as that's when I intended to post it.

by **Jeruselem** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:13 pm

Group 19
Virabia 1-0 Nordstaaten
Jeruselem 1-0 Scrap Brain Zone
Royalsoldiers 0-1 Cheergirls
Mantwenic 1-0 Licienta

1-0 seems to be in VOGUE ... :lol:
