IWPF // Water Polo Discussion Thread

[Todd McCloud]

West Phoenicia will still be boycotting the current cycle of the IWPF.

Per the IWPF Constitution a nation is removed after failing to post in two consecutive cycles. Thus our ranking wont be stripped until we fail to field a team in two IWPF cycles. And our membership and voting rights fall into the same category.

The West Phoenician Water Polo Federation will discuss fielding a team in the next cycle as well as push for an executive role within the IWPF

Vekaiyu looks forward to securing the top slot in the competition.

While the nation has had issues with respect to the handling of the body, it will not punish its athletes nor will it afford the competition a chance to inch closer to its elite status as a strong water polo nation.

If it's cool with everyone else, I'd like to make Savenna Galos Konti the worlds best water polo player. The team itself is like the classic one man/woman team, if the goals are going to come they're going to come through her.

Thaaat depends. If they're the world's best water polo player, they better show it. No good team is just a one-player band. Ask Kelssek, their nation eats and breathes water polo.


EDIT: Vekaiyu is more of an Undertwater Hockey nation. But as that sport gives vulpines a significant advantage, Vekaiyu has not initiated an underwater hockey competition, for that would be unfair.

Not to mention West Phoenicia, arguably the best Polo-ists to exist.
And the rising Vekaiyuns.
Also every-once-in-awhile, Kebec rears its frozen polo-ing head.

GVH isn't a particularly good team

No, I messed-up your ranking - its 14.7, not 4.7. I messed it up, my b. You're a 9th-ranked team, cuteboi.

I know I'm not in this thread yet, but it seems to me that it would be fair for your own nation's press to report her as 'the best,' 'one of the best,' or 'arguably the best' player in the world, or just the best player in the country, but nobody is truly peerless.

Except for JJ Watt. Man's a tank.

If you crash and burn before the finals we should have enough difference to retain the top spot.

Otherwise The West Phoenician Water Polo Federation may need to overturn the boycott to keep you in 2nd place. :-p

>.< What if they win all their games by blowouts, >.<
They'll knock you outttttttttt.

[Kep]

Given the current WPIC schedule, it will be readjusted, currently, it falls every three-to-four months, but given we were competing against the IBC, WCOH and many other major tournaments, rp was much-harder for a smaller-scale tournament. Instead, the tournament schedule will be shifted as to run the tournament in "lull" moments.
Aside from that, my court case for custody has been finished, I am truly able to rp once again and actively.

[West Phoenicia]

Will rankings be updated anytime soon?

[Kep]

They will be updated in time for the next WPIC by either me or Todd.

[New Lusitania and the Algarves]

Did this die, or is the next tournament still on?

Its only been a month since the WPIC and the World Cup looks like its staring up, so wait.

[The International Water Polo Federation]

President Kep speaking:
Tentatively opening discussion as to when to open signups for the next WPIC.

With the end of qualification reached for the World Cup, that frees up a decent amount of people to go rp other things, so signups for WPIC 5 should be opened within 1 hour or 2 for today.
Thanks all!

Haha, no, LOL. Though I am considering having a couple of matches in a lake .

[New Lusitania and the Algarves]

Interesting proposition North Prarie. Getting hyped for the next edition already !!!

On what I said, can anyone tell me then, when was the 4th edition. I want to know just out of curiosity as I seem to find no record of it.
