The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, version III)

[Socialist States Owen]

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

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.

....you can't doubt an opinion?

Oops, you can. But it's what I think. People are entitled to an opinion, but at school, when people poke fun at your football (soccer type) team, you have to say their "opinion" is wrong.

That's because opinions are purely subjective and precisely this makes them heavily prone to be disputed when others do not share them. It happens in every aspect of life, not only at school. And now, if we could please move on with topics that are really relevant to this thread...

Do you know how it says that MDs 10-18 are in reverse of MDs 1-9? Are the fixtures in the order that I think they're in, i.e., you play one team just before the mid-qualifying break, and play the same team just after it? Or am I wrong?

Also, why did the actual fixtures start a day later than they were supposed to do?

No, it is the same schedule, but with home/away reversed

And it depends on which time zone you are in. For me, the scores come up on 2am the day after they are scheduled, but I belive it is different for ASMV and Valanora

Do'h! Didn't know that. [the schedule thing.] And yeah, they come up for me at like six/seven in the morning. I live in the UK.

Note: This will be my last WC with this nation for a long time. So if anyone in my group feels like RPing killing off all of my players, feel free. If not, whatever. The option is open. I'll try to get a roster up soon.

Am i the only one who pronounces the name Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuk as a single unit? (It takes some practice.)

[Commerce Heights]

No.

Ladies and gentelmen, the athletes of the I World Games.
Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuk.
(Again, if you must know, that was pronounced /æbsdɛfˌgiʤkʌlmnɑpˈkɝstʌk/.)

Erm...could we get some clarification on that CH? And I'm normally thinking Abrstuk...

[Astograth]

No.

CH pronounces it /æbsdɛfˌgiʤkʌlmnɑpˈkɝstʌk/, in accordance with the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is the most accurate way of transcribing (and therefore explaining) pronunciation.

Cool. Almost exactly how I pronounce it, just with a /k/ for the "c". (Followed by a schwa, obviously...)

[Kinitaria]

I had to be away for a couple of days, and return to find that I'm second. And knowing it won't last.

[Warkus]

The match was at a really weird dessert, to which it took 3 days to arrive by camel.

I can imagine it now, a cheesecake and ice-cream stadium. It still seems like something Arch would do xD

Were you around for the World Cup in which The Holy Empire's team consisted of Giant, Man-Eating, Sapient Blancmanges?

If you win on MD 7 against me. I will let my fans kill your players with their shotguns. (I have just thought of that Idea)

[Legalese]

So, I checked out the scores, and had three thoughts:

1) Wow.

2) Wow - I'm so screwed in the return legs.

3) Hey, Vil won! Maybe AO won't go to war!

Really random, it surprised me when I read the roster.

[Turori]

But I am one of the 5 who has seen the plans.
