The reality: it's just as fun as calling the elves "Valanorians". Goodness, that took many years of Imperial intervention to stamp out... of course, there's a reason why it persists...

I haven't heard the Geisen fried chicken joke yet, which was the bane of my existence for most of the WC30s (though at least Geisen is the correct demonym).

A fave of Jeruselem cheerleaders that song. Well guess that Jeruselem cheerleaders are going to be singing when Michael VII is at Dazza Dallas Stadium (Dazza was a cheerleader as well).

That's what I do. Micks or Mikes, anyway. RP'd it as being perceived as a racial slur before for the lulz. I might do that more often with other nations, it works with my "educated hooligans" thing.

I would be Slems.

Anyway, I lost 1-0 to Ancharmunn.

Expected, and then I have Megadia, QPeMA, Jeru Fc x2, QPeMa again, Megadia, and then Ancharmunn! Really tricky fixtures there in WCQ!

Given that rough set of guidelines that Vilita conveniently wrote up a little while back, should we be poking around to see Cup of Harmony bids/have there been some (besides the suspended one that I've missed?

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.

Well, in my book, if you've played a team three times and lost all of your meetings with them, they're your bogey team. You can't doubt that, cause that's my opinion.
