[LRF] Lisander Rugby Festival - OOC Topic

[Filindostan]

Abanhfleft would like to request that the trigram listed to their LARFC teams be changed from ABL to AFT, which is the nation's official trigram in all sports in which it participates.

Ditto for Filindostan - FID

[Copper Cuprum]

Belated signup from Abanhfleft's chicken-sacrificing puppets.

Also, for the LARFC Sevens tournament, Copper Cuprum will send forth the minor premiers and premiers of the Copperite Rugby League (the premier rugby league competition in the Chiefdom of Copper Cuprum):

South Ons Gon Rabbitohs, the minor premiers of the 2021-22 Copperite Rugby League
Sub Gon Raiders, the premiers of the 2021-22 Copperite Rugby League

Like the entrants from Abanhfleft, these sides will draw upon their under-23 players and such to play during this competition and give them valuable playing time.

For Copper Cuprum's trigram, we will use CCU.

[Union of Socialist Alpine Republics]

Alpine Union's trigramme is UAR.

[Hutanjia]

Almost forgot. Hope we can still squeeze in a sign up. Puppet of Neu Engollon. Just the URSA, unless you need more LARFC teams then I could come up with a couple.

NKO

[The Grande Republic 0f Arcadia]

so when will the games start?

[Elejamie]

so when will the games start?

Hopefully soon. Granted it should've started a few days ago (or at the very least), since Lisander extended sign-ups to the 27th, but as Sevens VP I might send him a TG about it if I don't hear from him today/tomorrow (as it's 31st October where I am when I wrote that).

He's been having a lot of internet issues. This absence may be related.

[Lisander]

He's been having a lot of internet issues. This absence may be related.

Yup. It was that. The cable guy just left my home. Now with everything well-fitted I'll take today to finish LARFC signups/level assignment. 24 hours to the final cutoff.

Other Lisander signups to LARFC Sevens:

Mont Saint-Martin Old Boys: The Semi-Pro affiliate club to Montbenoit Old Boys (Saugeais team, 3x SEASOGS champion) , currently playing in second division of Lisander Rugby.

Infidels: The amateur players of Barbarians Rugby Club who refused (or were refused by) professional teams at the start of the season formed this team.

Harpies 7's: The Sevens team of Hárpias de Grívnia. The XV team is actually in PRO12, but is one of the weakest in top flight.

LAN Sevens: The elite team of Liga Académica Nacional, the college rugby system.

Victorian Rugby: The Archrival of Linville Athetic, home of great players of Lisander Rugby as Alvin St. Jacques, Kennedy Olson, Gaetan Morian and Ricardo Porto, and one of most traditional clubs in entire URSA. The "Old Lady" comes with a team with young players and capped Irises, and will be a hard contender.

St. Helen's Sevens: St. Helen's Park will be one of the two stadia hosting URSA Sevens, while its team will play in LARFC sevens. Expect a U-20 team, since the Pros are concentrated in PRO12.

Club d'Escrime de Soria: The fencers, another semi-pro D2 club, will be in this tournament trying to manage new members/sponsors to a struggling team. Their black/pink colors will be striking on the field, but I'm not sure about their results.

Barbarian Rugby Club aka Lisander Barbarians: The most prestigious invitational club of Lisander will count with stars like Sebastian Livon and Gear brothers, together with promises like Marian Ortegon. Other serious candidate to the title.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Assuming this is still open, for URSA 7s it's simply Velstrania.

For LRAFC 7s it's:

• Sondestadt Hurricanes 7s: The sondestadt hurricanes are Velstrania's championship-winning rugby team, and these are their 7s players. They are highly professional, driven and considered elite in a country where rugby is considered the national sport.
• Velstursgaaten Holy Knights: From the religious west of Velstrania come the holy knights, professional soldiers of God with two driving interests: the lord, and the tri line. They are almost fanatical about how they play, with personal mistakes taken over-seriously; it's not unusual to see holy knights players attack one of their comrades for bad play.
• Pride of Ravierla: The pride of Ravierla come from a small village, and decided to enter the 7s on a bet. Ravierla is a tiny, rather impoverished village with a pub where rugby is occasionally played; not very well, however.

[Alice Bay]

Alice Bay, Lisander sister nation, signs in for URSA Sevens.

For the LARFC Sevens, the current champions and runner-ups on AMI Unions Cup, Newport Dragons and Osea, with U-20. Especially, with the intention of raise funds to overcome the accident with the junior team, a Southland 7s composed of first-team players was invited, even if it is a team of the Championship (second tier) of the AMI Cup.

Just confirming the nation above as my puppet. Keep those signups coming. ONE MORE NATION TO CLOSE URSA SEVENS.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Just confirming the nation above as my puppet. Keep those signups coming. ONE MORE NATION TO CLOSE URSA SEVENS.

If puppets are allowed I'll go ahead and add greater vakolicci haven. Greater vakolicci haven rps will be prefixed with vkl, velstrania with vls.

Velstrania CTE'd. You can't add two national teams with one only nation. I'll replace it by Greater Vakolicci Haven.

We need one more nation.

I've been rping Velstrania and gvh from the same nation in numerous sporting competitions now. At any rate, Velstrania is primary over greater vakolicci haven as rugby is a contact sport.

My solution as Tournament host:
So we'll have Velstrania team representing Greater Vakolicci Haven, and using Greater Vakolicci Haven ranking if applicable.

My position as NSRB executive member, already clear to the other NSRB executives:
To participate in rugby competitions, a nation should be an active nation, not just a name, it's unfair with all nations who are "real" nations.

1. What major NS Sports tournament has let you RP multiple participating nations from one account? I've never seen such a thing.

2. Why can't you just resurrect Velstrania from CTE and proceed to RP from it? That would solve this dilemma. Or, alternatively, use one of your other multiple puppets? I know that you have a few.

I have resurrected velstrania.
I rped Velstrania and gvh from the same account in the most recent Olympics, the Olympia games, and currently the sporting world cup.

[Lisander]

So please sign Velstrania using Velstrania account (since Greater Vakolicci Haven is already signed).

[Velstrania]

So please sign Velstrania using Velstrania account (since Greater Vakolicci Haven is already signed).

Signing up Velstraniafor the URSA 7s. The lrafc 7s teams signed up under greater vakolicci haven are, in fact, based in Velstrania also.

Confirming Velstrania as me, and also that the above is true as purtains to the LRAFC 7s delegation.
AS a result, if slots are still open, the GVH will enter the following teams into the LRAFC 7s.

• Celari dragons: Hailing from the Haven's culturally rich, violent and historical province of Celeria, the Dragons are a skilled, prideful team. They participated in the interprovincial games, a yearly event in which each province competes in a programme of 40 sports in a format similar to the Olympics, they lifted the gold medal for rugby 7s for Celeria. Unfortunately, Celeria as a whole was defeated by the mighty warbirds, a coalition of the Haven's smallest provinces as well as those without a province (slaves, imigrants etc), who took their first interprovincial championship in their history. The Celari Dragons rugby 7s team is highly offensive, focussed mainly on speed and trick plays, with little interest in such things as 'sportsmanship' and 'fair play.' The haven's most regularly penalised team in the previous season, they nevertheless dazzle with their tactical brilliance, if they are a little prone to violence and unsportsmanlike conduct.
• Mighty Warbirds 7s: The mighty warbirds as they are known, due to their sponsorship by warbird media (a large Havenic gaming conglomerate), are a collection of small provinces and those without a province. Although they did not help in their delegaions historic first championship (only coming away with a silver medal) they nevertheless provided very good competition to the Celari team. With their defencive talent in the form of Julian Evernea and Varil Loca, they are a team which is rare in 7s for being very hard to get the ball passed. However, with ball in hand they are often less impressive, committing far too many turnovers and unforced errors.
• Irosii Mennace: Not a provincial team but a club side from the Havenic capital of Iros. They participated in the enaugural Havenic 7s championship, where they finished third, a few points behind first and second place. They are a team largely of experienced veteran players and so their speed could be better; however they are masters of tactics and have an ability to work as a team which is unrivalled by many others. If they can improve their speed, they will be amongst the highest tier of participants.
• Metropolitan city workers union: These are not the main team from the della barecci metropolis, the Haven's largest city. They are not its second team either. Rather, they filled the amateur spot that Havenssport allocated this year; and they're filling it rather well, as a matter of fact. Champions of the Havenic amateur league, their enthusiasm and flare is only offset by the fact that they are not professional players and do not have the tactical genius that sets professional teams apart from them. Instead, they rely on their teamwork and passion for the game to keep them in with a chance of victory, however their teamwork is amongst the best in the Haven.
