A thread for anything relating to the History of Modern NSSports. Any feedback or points to discuss should be made here.

Thank you for the research, good sir/ma'am.

One that isn't on the list: (hope I got the format right, dd/mm/yy?)

Yes, of course I'm going to remember a tournament I won.

Also, please note it was spelled Carasatoga.

you should make a new reply asap, just in case you run out of space on the first post, you have the second post to have continuity.

It looks tremendous by the way.

by **Qazox** » Sun Dec 09, 2012 8:21 pm

Damn didn't remember hosting a couple of those things. (The Q.U.E.S.T tourney and the Pheonix Cup)

WTG Apox on this.

That has to be the culmination of hours upon hours of research. Seriously thinking about nominating you as NS Historian.

by **Equestrian States** » Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:22 pm

Wow. Excellent job going through all of those threads.

So, what's your plan for this? Sorting by sport? by event?

by **Kelssek** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 12:58 am

A good resource, great work.

One minor point: the official name for the Winter Olympics should always be in the format (Roman numerals) Olympic Winter Games.

I don't recall seeing Baptism of Iron XI on the list, which would have preceded World Bowl 17.

You missed the 10th Di Bradini Cup, plus have quoted me as "Stayblaydia" for Quidditch WC1 Champs

I see a few of the tournaments from the Festivalo de Tutmondaj Futbaloj are missing:

05/05/11 - 13/05/11 Coupe Bergamot (Canadian football), hosted by Cotdelapoms, thread - viewtopic.php?f=7&t=109752
1st - Thessia Cotdelapomais (Mytannion)
2nd - University of Paris (The Babbage Islands)

3rd - Nitrome Island

The I World Games quite deliberately did not have a ranking of nations. I’d also argue that it’s inappropriate to display one for the Olympic Games, but some people probably disagree with me about that.

I could give you the information for UICA and a few other notable tournaments in the International Domestic Soccer NewsWires thread if you want to add that.

by **The Babbage Islands** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 5:47 am

This is a formidable piece of work. My compliments! I'll be adding in several corrections over the next few days, but please consider them as attempts to complete the mighty structure you have built rather than efforts to criticise it.

One understandable error in an existing listing stands out. The Community Football Convocation was not unfinished--it ran for four rounds exactly as specified in the OP. The end date was 13/04/12, and the teams tied for first were Seendok Breakers CFC (Carmadin) and Warriors (Yesopalitha).

The Cotswold Trophy is awarded in international rules football, a hybrid code of Australian and Gaelic; this isn't clear from your listing of the Second Cotswold Trophy. By the way, the first Cotswold Trophy hosted by The Babbage Islands ran from 03/07/09 to 18/07/09 in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5671 . Luchsandria won, followed by The Babbage Islands and Candelaria And Marquez.

Some other leads to missing events, which I'll follow up when I have some time, include the original Mcleod Cup, the original Svoboda Cup, and the Golfinator Classic.

Again, don't misunderstand. This rocks!

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

I have nothing to do but congratulate you on such a great work, however, for future reference...

1st - Nieuwe Sleeswijk
2nd - Polar Islandstates
3rd - The Kiaser Colonies

...the "official" name of Whirl Islands has no definite article, actually, it has no article at all, and if people want to mention WI's name with the article, I'd appreciate it didn't start with a capital letter as it is not a part of my puppet's name. It may seem like a minor detail that shouldn't be that much of an issue to some, but to me it is pretty important.

Other than that, impressive work. Hats off.

by **Farfadillis** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 7:45 am

Impressive work. Hope it doesn't fade away.

*crosses fingers for Arch to sticky the thread*

by **Astograth** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:08 am

Formidable work, but a few things to point out:

- You've put down Sorthern Northland as Southern Northland, and Jeruselem as Jerusalem
- I'd rather Cup of Harmony XLVIII be referred to as 48, and the third placed team in that was Southern Cynocephali
- You overlooked this

You have not posted the Slembanan Invitational Cup. It was run by me. Soviet Canuckistan won it, I was second, and Lunar Republic Islands were third. It was run from 12-17 October 2012.

by **Apox** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:58 am

Thanks for the responses everyone... glad it wasn't shunned probably took me a good 48 hours since mid October.

Also thanks for the tournaments I missed off, I'll add them on, I knew that it was likely I'd miss a few out. Can't remember who asked, but I'll eventually sort them into different posts, all arranged by sport.

And if it was stickied, well, that would be amazing

EDIT: And if the comments you've made don't get changed quickly, my apologies, however, as can be imagined, it may take a little while to sift through all this.

Oh.

But he's got the date wrong. It started on 12 October, not 7 October.

by **Liventia** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:17 am

I assume you're listing IC hosts, rather than OOC hosts? Obviously the WGPCs are one massive undertaking by (with the exception of WGPC 9, where there were two) one OOC host, so it might be a nice idea to credit people where that has happened.

As an aside, personally I don't think we need it to be stickied. The NS Sports forum's stickies are limited for a reason and I don't think this, while impressive and a big undertaking, meets any arbitrary criteria to warrant a sticky. I mean, even the Olympic announcements thread doesn't have a sticky on it. We could probably link to it in the Guide to Sports Roleplaying instead.

The start date is being regarded as the one in which the thread was posted, not when scorination began.

Oh. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info, Asto!

IC hosts. However, I can edit in the scorinator if needed when I get through to that when I'm sorting them out. I don't personally mind if its stickied or not, I just don't what to see it fall down the forum pages and get forgotten about.

by **Free South Califas** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:17 am

Fantastic work, Apox. Thanks a million. I think it's great that someone spent the time on this, and it's really rewarding to have it as part of the RP environment, if that makes sense. It helps the immersion quite a bit. If I might add the Roller Hockey Internationale that I hosted - it was called "South Califas Roller Hockey Internationale" at the time, but an Executive Committee and a Planning Committee were later formed which could theoretically host one among any of the participants, so I'd prefer it to be recorded without the demonym if at all possible - please find the details in the spoiler below.

by **International Gridiron Champions League** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 11:18 am

And then there's me (see links in the sig). Both tournaments were hosted by FSC. The third might be hosted by someone else, but it doesn't look fantastically likely at the moment, despite my encouragement.

by **Shadowbourne** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 1:43 pm

Thanks for putting this together, it's a great resource. However, I noticed a tournament that seems to have been omitted.
