[The Archregimancy]

I apologize to my group mates for not Rolplaying much(even though most people in the group are not RPing). Also Eid Mubarak people

Eid Mubarak indeed.

The traffic's much quieter here in Dubai during Eid....

[The Archregimancy]

I start to believe that Arch has an external hard disk, filled with several gigabytes of pictures of... orthodox monks, all catalogued by their actions, ranked from "Abbs-training monk" to "Zoo-visiting monks".

But did you ever expect this one from today's RP....

[Equestrian States]

*snip*

I worry about you sometimes, Arch...

Of course, I still found the RP hilarious. Well done, good sir.

Think I may have just found my new desktop wallpaper...

[The Archregimancy]

Incidentally, I'm happy for others to RP that their media representatives were assaulted by the light sabre-wielding MFA monks after the recent match, but three important details, please:

1) No serious injuries - the MFA were looking to intimidate, not harm (this will be outlined in subsequent RPs). They're still Orthodox monks, after all.

2) Any injuries will be very quickly healed immediately after the incident - and before media reps travel home - via usual Dreamed Realm protocols.

3) Please remember that the MFA are not representing the Archregimancy government here; the actual government institutions of the Holy Synod and Archregimand's Office are resolutely opposed to the MFA's current intransigence and intolerance.

Were they photoshopped in or were they actually holding lightsabers? And if they were, why?

Surely Jedi as their sabers aren't red, though if we ask the one holy apostolic church these monks have gone to the dark side.

I have no idea who photoshopped them in - I found the image online, and then decided to run with it.

These are perhaps the monks you're looking for....

But no; I won't spoil the fun... I'll leave that image for tomorrow's RP.

I'm pretty sure they're photoshopped.

Yeah, it's going to be an insanely tight race to the end. Which is exhilarating, but also kind of terrifying

Is a polandball your mascot? Why not something like...

Our one?

[Patistan]

Ugh,cant think of what to write my RP about

[United Eastedge]

That's common on me.

[Northern Sunrise Islands]

Reminds me. On the roll of doing posters for tournaments, already seen with the Copa Rushmori hosted by SJG's puppet and "sorta-seen-if-you-read-Radio-Esportiva-rather-often-and-look-at-the-details" with the Campionato Esportiva...

Which was this. Inspired by the old clip for You Spin Me Right Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive.

I decided to make one for this World Cup. Sadly, the hosts didn't like the logo I have made, but I decided to upload the poster regardless as it was already finished and I really don't have anything better to do.

If anyone wants to use it, go ahead.

While it's true that I wasn't convinced by your logo, I do rather like this poster.

Could you perhaps also come up with a similar one using the first picture from this RP: viewtopic.php?p=21124314#p21124314

Not to replace the above effort, but to run alongside it.

I apologize to my group mates for not Rolplaying much(even though most people in the group are not RPing). Also Eid Mubarak people

Eid Mubarak indeed.

The traffic's much quieter here in Dubai during Eid....

Total opposite in Karachi,you can be stuck in traffic Jams for a well 2-3 hours

Arch isn't the guy with the white cap a Muslim? He doesn't look like a monk
