As this is the NSWC Discussion Thread, I'm having a difficult time finding the competition in which this "Mike Pence" played for the Starblaydi NT.Starblaydia wrote:Now I know what Mike Pence feels like.

The rate of three WCs per year is as low as it has ever been. There were 4 WCs per year in 2010 and 2011, and 5 per year in 2012 and 2013. Participation steadily increased from 2010 to 2014 before falling fairly sharply, but is still well above the levels of 2006 and 2009.

He actually wrote one of my RPs a couple of years ago.

Personally, I'd argue that the relevant period is from the beginning of the new forums to present, due to A) NS being much smaller in the early days, B) NS Sports being part of the NationStates sub-forum on Jolt and C) Jolt's forums having all kinds of issues.
I do agree with Krytenia that a more regular timeframe would probably be a good idea (and maybe the practice of temporarily closing signups during voting should be discontinued, unless at least one of the bidding parties requests it).

In order to join the Baptism of Fire, you have to never have played it. Once the World Cup sign-up thread pop up, request to sign for the Baptism of Fire and the World Cup and voi la.

I, personally, would like to see a return to a more regulated timeframe, as we had a few years ago (x weeks between World Cup Final n and signups for World Cup n+1 opening).
Obviously the value of x should be long/flexible enough to have a bit of a break for regional tournaments, Olympics, the second half of December, etc.
Thoughts?

Now seriously, as someone who is close to his post-creation process, the dedication he has to RPing is unreal. It's awesome for me to see it bear fruit.
