Would just like to apologise to the hosts and my group mates for my lack of RP over this week. As some of you may know, I have exams this week and it's just wiping me out RPing at all, might be able to do some short RPs as I was limited to last week, but I am absolutely shattered.

Anyway, inane babbling cut short - sorry.

Yet you're the only nation with a perfect record

You're like me. I often seem to finally start winning as soon as I stop RPing.

All I want is to win without RPing.

Also, what led you to know of that picture.

Says the last undefeated nation, in a cycle where Lymantatia's currently in position to make the playoffs and both of Karditan's nations are leading their respective groups, with no RPs and no rosters between them...

Tbh, if I lose to Lymantatia tonight, he's in a very good position to win the group, which would be bad to say the very least.

Do not worry, I had many exams back on November, they're just ruining lives.

No, it's the opposite. Without exams, you wouldn't get a job. Without a job, you wouldn't earn money. Without money, you wouldn't have a house. And et cetera.

You also wouldn't have a computer to RP on

I do know that. I do also know that knowledge gives great jobs, like working as a NASA astronomer.

I hope this isn't a stupid question though here it goes...

If one wrote 2 RPs on 5/12/2014, how will the host rate their RPs? Will it be 1 RP for one day and the other RP for the next day? Or will the 2 RPs be averaged? Or none of those? I don't know this.

Presumably, they would be treated as if they were a single RP. Some hosts would average them, but I don't think that's fair, personally, because it penalizes those who RP twice (by giving them a bonus less than what their best RP was worth). Still others, presumably, would just count the best RP. I've never heard of any host counting RPs for a later matchday than the one for which they were posted.

What hosts won't do (hopefully) is count the multiple RPs as separate RPs, because that can allow somebody to build up a huge RP bonus by posting a bunch of bad RPs (a practice known as Eizening, after somebody who actually used to do that).

I think the most common response to double RPs is to take them as two. As if they were in the same post, let's say. That's what I do, at least. If someone asked me to count the second RP for the following matchday because he wouldn't be able to post it the following day, I'd do the second thing, but that has never happened.

Considering the top two in that group have one more match left, that's not as close as Group 14.

by **Barunia** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 10:00 pm

The top 3 in group 7 also have 1point seperating them
