Just a gentle reminder to our hosts that both Dreamed Realm nations now have rosters that can be linked to the RP thread OP.

Americans who think soccer is a sport played by a bunch of foreign faeries [sic] - as my American High School's American football coach used to insist back in the early 80s - would now appear to have a point.

Let me echo my wife and thank you all for your prayers and support.

I wouldnt miss that match for anything, Star. Gotta take ya down.

On a lighter note, i do love Mace. Nothing like a 6'4 250lb manager modeled after Mr T in appearance and on pitch mentality crossdressing and singing girlie songs to inspire at least a mediocre RP when you dont feel like doing one at all.

So how exactly do I manage to lose 3-0 to a team that hasn't even RPed for the last few matchdays? I mean I can understand losing, but not getting thrashed!

I'm with Churchma, "screw you Margaret!" ;)

Because Kazzoria is the 44th ranked team in the KPB rankings. Assuming you're getting maximum bonus every time and Kazzoria doesn't RP at all, its still going to take more than four matchdays to even match Kazzoria's KPB. Until that point losing to the higher ranked team will always be the expected result, no?

Is the WC always like this, where you lose to the unranked, unrostered, un-RPing team and then beat the much higher ranked team which posts a roster and RPs?

I'm not doing so bad!I learned this in the World Bowl.I did great in the BoI,but I lost to teams in the World Bowl that I beat in the BoI.Also,rankings are a big part of it.The whole part of the BoI and BoF is to get the newcomers higher in the rankings.If tough to lose so much,but in the future it will be your 15 year,and all the powerhouses would forget about it.Or the stay.I haven't been here long enough to know.
