The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version III)

[Bears Armed]

It is also recomended that you refrain from sacrificing real chickens as that can be a bit messy and serves no purpose whatsoever. Maggie HATES real chicken. Margaret is a fickle bitch of a mistress, but she is by no means that twisted.

But she apparently likes the Bears' offerings of real OSTRICH...

Why am I playing FSC? Today was my bye day, as the RP thread said 10-18 was a reverse of 1-9.

That doesn't mean reversed order of matches, it means the same order but with which sides are 'home' & which are 'away' switched over.
Gives you an interesting RP possibility though, if your footballers had the same misunderstanding, hrright?

[Ko-oren]

I'm starting to see how RP has an influence on results... Currently 5th and dropping as I've been on vacation during the entire first half of qualifying. Interesting

Hm? I suppose so, yeah.

[Blouman Empire]

Just officially change it to Starblaydian. It's what I did when I realised people really couldn't be arsed writing Licentiapacisterran

You can't just discard 25000 IC years of being Starbladistanis because people can't be arsed, Licenthropia.

I always RP it as a dialect of that country, I get it often, even in the current WC someone referred to us as Bloumani.

[Blouman Empire]

It's not a bogey team if you've played them just the three times. When you lose to a team repeated in the quarterfinals/semifinals/wherever repeatedly (yes, that double iteration) and have only won one or twice in the whole history of NSWC, maybe then you can consider them a bogey team.

#hopingtomakeelvesrivalsratherthanbogeyssomeday

Like me with Newmanistan....Or the effect i had on Nethertopia.

What happened with Newmanistan?

We had a good rivalry going, having played each other numerous times always close and would be come a case of I win one match he would win the next

[Saugeais]

Yeah, I think I forgot that I was unranked when I blurted out...but I can easily beat the 329th ranked team - Deep Fried Pickles, who are in my group. Performing really badly, but our home form is frightening.

And, also, I hope I can beat Scrap Brain Zone tomorrow. It's time for revenge, after they ruined our first-ever home match by winning 3-0.

This thread is not for all your individual matches, going "I hope I can beat this dude" or "I lost to this dude". Key matches, talking about dwindling chances, and such are okay, but nobody wants to know how your team is doing match by match. If you want to comment on your matches, one by one, do that in your RP's. Keep this to discussing about the tournament in general, not specifically you. Please.

This. Slembana, if you don't have anything worthwhile to post here, just don't, please? Don't just post because you have to say something.

[Blouman Empire]

On a similairly related note, when I take over scorination for the second half of qualifying, the cutoff times will be two to three hours earlier (9-11pm CDT).

Wish I had seen this before just missed your first one.

Alright, everyone (and not just Saugeais) - that's quite enough jumping on Slembana.

He's recently been given a formal modly request to cut back on the spam, so we're in no further need of going after him for overenthusiasm.

We don't want to seem too unwelcoming to an enthusiastic new participant.

[Blouman Empire]

There are a few nations who've been around for over a year, RP'ed every cycle, and still have never qualified, including Civil Citizenry, for one.

I'm one of these people, I participated in 8-9 cycles consistently RPing (I was in more but not always RPing) and the closest I got was making the semi final for one CoH and never got into the WC proper.

[Warkus]

Apologises to those in group 11 for my recent lack of RP, but I've been with my father (Who I haven't seen for many months now) and I'm spending little time on the computer.

I'll be back RPing as usual on either Saturday or Monday.

[Boring Paradise]

I will not be RPing from this Friday 17/8/12 till the Next Friday 24/8/12 (BST). Due to a family stuff.

[Mapletish]

To me friend,wish you can go into the World Cup with me this time round,the same number of qualifications attempts for both of us lol ...

[NSWC Signups]

Cup of Harmony voting is open.

[Slembana]

Please dont cyberbully/harrass me upon seeing this post!

Tomorrow's match is a must-win. A win is needed. If we lose without scoring, I'll be furious.

[Civil Citizenry]

Um, no one's bullying you. You were asked to not talk about every single one of your personal games on a thread where we try to have some general conversations. You've posted so many times just to talk about beating this person or losing to another or complaining about not beating low-ranked teams as a first-timer. A moderator asked you to tone it down a little. That's all, man. Just tone it down, please.

[The Archregimancy]

Please stop posting commentary on each and every one of your matches in the discussion thread.

This is not what the discussion thread is for.

Your enthusiasm is wonderful, and I hope you continue to participate in the World Cup, but your posting behaviour in this thread is verging on spam.

This is your final polite request to stop making these posts in this thread.

If you persist, a member of the moderation team will very likely give you a formal warning for spamming this thread.

I finally get a solid scalp in the group and it turns out it's because the opposing team were out catching up on Califan cinema

He didn't like that other people won baseball games sometimes The game isn't fun when you have to share, apparently.

[Slembana]

Guys, this is NOT spam. My style mod is now +1.5.

[Slembana]

I'm sorry for spamming this thread, so I'm sorry for being a stupid idiot. Let's just forget about it - I was not posting EVERY SINGLE match, just a few of them. OK?

Will you promise not to spam in this thread or the Football Friendly Schudule.

This should be listed in the RP thread, not here.

11 hours ago: The Empire of Deep Fried Pickles ceased to exist

Yet their intrepid football team carries the fight. Somebody please make an 'out of the frying pan and into the fire' reference.
