The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, Version IV)

[Nephara]

I am sorry that I have to leave. I will have to leave for 3 weeks and I won't have any internet during that time. Would I still be in the tournament or would I be taken out. If possible I would like to stay in. Assuming if I am still in the tournament and I qualify for the Final Tournament I wish my team the best of luck. Goodbye, I am leaving tomorrow.

You'll remain in the tournament, it's fine. The only way that you get removed from the WC is if you Cease To Exist during qualifying, which you won't.

Once one has entered, one cannot leave.

You'd think that, but my first WC qualification (XVI) came in part due to six free points from, quoth the hosts, "The Water Cooler idiotically withdrew".

No seriously, they were called The Water Cooler.

I remember being at work in 2004 and talking to my workmates about them next to the office International Football Team.

Only because they were in Squorn's group.

Or get DEATed during qualifying which has the same effect and could at least theoretically happen to him during qualifying. Not that I'm saying h will get DEATed, or that he deserves to, but it's not categorically impossible, unlike Ceasing To Exist due to inactivity less than 28 days from now.

[Augusticinia]

Well, Im out. I think Augusticinia performed well and lost it every once in a while. Their inconsistency got to them, but oh well I hope to join the next WC and possibly get better results.

[Jeruselem]

OK, Jeru FC will be retired folks. My RPs have hinted they have been running out of money.
Well, they won't in the World Cup but become a domestic team. It means the Jeruselem might get some Jeru FC players in it.

Jeruselem will fight on alone.

Boooooooooooo!

[San Llera]

Hate to advertise on the WCDT, but...

It'd be really nice if some of you could vote in my kit contest.

[Krytenia]

My sincerest apologies to all of my Group 11 opponents that have RPed their backsides off, only to see Señor Unranked take the top spot.

My sincerest pisstakes to Starblaydia, for obvious reasons.

Definitely the Sarian, with those new new kits. Audio has really excelled this time

(Puppet of Barunia here, btw)

[Polar Islandstates]

I'm scared.

I introduced Timo Skye to the Fallenmark Islands set-up as a joke. As a way of getting some RP ideas.

And results have actually picked up since I did it.

Hold me.

[Bears Armed]

As I said before, the Bears now "expect" you to win the Cup...

^_^

No, wallow in successful despair!

[NSWC Signups]

Results are announced!

As this is my final act as president, a few words of thanks from me for voting me in and placing your trust in me for the past nine WC cycles. It has been my pleasure and my honour.

Special thanks also to my vices during this time, many of which led to me at various times to rely on my Vices during this time. Zwang, Legal, and Apox. Especially Apox during this past, challenging, year of university work that led to my prolonged absence earlier in the year.

I now look forwards to leaving my seat as resident Kermit, and taking up a pew in the boxes from which I can heckle you all mercilessly. Either as Statler or Waldorf, I've not decided which yet.

With that, history passes, and people can stop getting their skin stuck to the frozen solid winners medals from now on.

Yours,
The (other) Frosty One, PIS.

Alternatively, as Timo Skye would say:
"Suck it."

*drops mic*

[Alasdair I Frosticus]

With 8 of 14 votes (14 votes, seriously?),

Err, sorry about that.

I managed to get my dates confused; I thought the deadline was my cat's birthday, when actually it was my father's birthday (let's not tell my father).


Though if it's any consolation, my vote would have made absolutely no difference to the result.

Those positions, sir, are taken.

[Polar Islandstates]

Fine.

Swedish Chef, then.

[Krytenia]

Fine.

Swedish Chef, then.

I think that's far more apt...

By the way, I've christened the kitty Cat Hair.

[Polar Islandstates]

Does seem obvious now I've said it, doesn't it?
Børk.

Børk.

Actually I think that's actually Börk.

[Chiata]

I was truly surprised that Carialus made the playoffs, but they got paired with Vilita and Chiata got paired with Ko-oren, so here's to another cycle of both nations losing in the playoffs!

[San Llera]

Say EQS doesn't show up and doesn't get their World Cup spot.

What if the 128 teams that didn't qualify play a single-elimination tournament to determine who gets that spot?
