The World Cup Discussion Thread (OOC, Version IV)

[Terre Septentrionale]

However, because The Mann Clan beat Drunk People at the Local Tavern on match day 6,

How dare they beat drunk people? xD

Seriously I think the worst scenario happened for my puppet but at least real nations qualified instead of a puppet, good luck to all!

[Commonwealth of Baker Park]

As an old timer here, I agree with this.

I also concur. I think we can all point to examples of a nation or two over the last three or four cycles who made huge leaps from their BOF RP's, their initial WCQ and some cases, got CoH invites because of their efforts.

[Free Republics]

While I haven't specifically told anybody this to the best of my knowledge, I had been planning on wrapping up my involvement on NS when my terms as WBC and Olympic presidents expire. On this past Saturday morning, while I was outside walking to the grocery store and trying to think up RP ideas for my IBC RP, I realized that I'm just not interested in RPing at this time so I've decided to just move ahead with this decision once the WBC votes were done: Effective immediately, I am taking an indefinite leave of absence from all things NS related. This will include all off-site channels of communication such as Discord. I don't see the point in continuing to go through the motions here when my heart isn't in it.

Given that I've changed my mind on this several times in the past, I will not be withdrawing from any tournaments or resigning from any presidencies at this time. Instead, the WBC Council Vice President and Olympic Council Vice President will each be the acting president until such time as the current terms expire or I decide to return as the president of those organizations.

Thanks for your service - I'll remember you!

[Sarzonia]

Effective immediately, I am taking an indefinite leave of absence from all things NS related.

I wish you well.

Sometimes, inspiration isn't there. I get it. You shouldn't have to feel obligated to RP or serve in a leadership role if you feel your heart isn't in it.

If you find the fire again, I'm sure you'll gladly be welcomed back.

[Electrum]

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours FFR, wherever they may lie.

[Twicetagram and JYPe]

You know, my monthly writer's block is hitting me harder than a bullet train. The only RP idea I have is this fanfiction I've started on a few days before BoF 72 started. Is it ok if I like post it here along with my poorly-written and timed news reports.
That being said, I regret not RPing the first 2 matchdays. Poor me.
At least I can make a puppet to make up for my awful choices, I guess?

[Ko-oren]

Whoa, FFR, good luck with whatever you're up to. Thanks for everything!

[Hapilopper]

Take care of yourself, FFR.

[South Covello]

If you're reading this, sorry to see you go, FFR. You were a great RP partner, and my RPs were better for having collaborated with you.

[Recuecn]

All the best FFR! I wish you all the best (but hope you come back soon ).

[TJUN-ia]

We always seemed to meet in the last few months.

You were a great competitor. Good luck to you!

[Cassadaigua]

Sorry to hear that, FFR. Maybe you'll just need a little break but regardless I wish you the best, always!

[Northwest Kalactin]

FFR, I wish you good luck. The work you have done for you’re community is so much and we thank you for that. You where a great RPer and a great host.

[HUElavia]

Hope you stay safe and well FFR, it's been a pleasure RPing and participating in tournaments alongside with you. Hope to see you again sometime in the future.

[Banija]

FFR, great to have you. You've helped out in so many ways, stepping up repeatedly to host events again and again and again. You've developed all sorts of scorinators and additions to xkoronate, to show your help to the community, and have always been willing to lend a hand or an ear.

And, of course, on an individual level, you allowed me to bid with you to co-host World Cup 81 when I had never hosted a tournament of that size, and you helped me all the way through. I can't thank you enough for that.

We're all better for having had you around buddy. Hope you're back soon

[Commonwealth of Baker Park]

I also wish you the very best of luck. You have been a huge presence in NSS, and I appreciate everything you've done for the community.

World Cup 85 Host Announcement

The Roleplay and Roster threads are here, for those of you that want to get work done early! If you're listed as in the tournament in the signups OP, you're invited to start rostering and RPing at your leisure (though numbers puppets may still be removed if we get a late rush). With the BoF knockout stages still to run, we've got a good buffer before MD1.

[Main Nation Ministry]

It's Time!

[Welzat]

Does anyone know of a website or something I could use to make the jerseys for the National team?

[Quakmybush]

Hey y'all. Not sure how many of you know/remember me haha. Looking to jump back into it, bit of spare time on my hands. I have a question, are the old jolt forms archived anywhere? I'm looking to pull some information from them.

Thanks!

Welcome back! For a start, I believe this is the archive link: https://nationstates.ermarian.net/jolt/1223

I know some users (including Audioslavia lately) have been sifting through them so others might be able to help you find what you're looking for faster.

[The Veiled Islands]

EDIT: So you may notice there were different scores a bit a go. Unfortiantely there was an error in the RP Bonus points, and we had to rescore.

Are you fucking shitting me?

I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from not-surprise.

[The Veiled Islands]

So after reading on Discord, let me get this straight: You scorinated a game. The original results said that I won. Then you realized that you forgot to give me credit for an RP. My opponent had not RPed during that time, only I had. So, to make sure I get credit for my RP, you rescorinated a match that I originally won, and posted a new result where I lost?

And you expect me to be OK with this shit? Really?

Whatever you guys do with this, I absolutely NEVER want Xanneria hosting anything I participate in ever again.
