2) The nation they played against in the Final had the exact same amount of RP contribution to the CoH thread, so I am not sure what the purpose of calling them out repeatedly is
3) MNM could have chosen to not participate in the CoH however judging by their activity level on NS the past 2 weeks which was actually rather high as they were RPing in other things beside the CoH, It is reasonable to assume they didn't anticipate only RPing once.
4) Nations will never be disqualified for not RPing. Remember the hierarchy here. The World Cup started out as a Random event. 100% of the result was 100% Random. Then we added other factors: Rankings. Roleplay. Roleplay bonus is only a small percentage of the scorination contribution. For a while, particularly in the early days, your Roleplay bonus actually didn't even take effect until the next tournament you played.the scores and results are what RPs are based on, not the other way round.
This.
5) The requirement for entry into the Cup of Harmony is to post at least an RP in the World Cup RP thread prior to Cup of Harmony selection. Thats it. You are not required to be an "active" roleplayer, you are just required to have RP'd. You are also not required to RP in the Cup of Harmony and there are regularly nations who do not RP at all in the CoH.
- However, as already stated, MNM was not one of them as they did RP in the CoH, so stop saying they didn't. Perhaps going back and reading the thread again to see this would make you feel better about the situation.
Just once. Once? That’s ok with you lot? In a tournament that is meant to reward active role players? Absolute joke.
You can bring up results all you like but it’s a fact, this is meant for roleplayers to have a second chance and having someone that entered a roster and maybe did 3 words for RPing win the entire competition is an absolute farce, are standards so low that just posting once is enough to win you a cup? Well fuck me i should’ve just not roleplayed in the CE and i would have a star by now, seriously why is this ok?
Of course real life comes first but you just don’t throw yourself in these kinds of competitions if you know you can’t get shit done, Brusseldorf had it right when he said these type of nations should be disqualified to prevent this. So what if RP bonus is small, it might not need to exist if this happens, again this is a tournament that promotes roleplaying, hell of an event this where the winner can do the bare minimum and win.
Your post is an embarrassment, you’re justifying a lack of engagement and that’s unforgivable.
