General Sports Roleplaying Questions (OOC)

[Socialist States Owen]

Are there any tournaments I could enter? Don't give me any handegg tournaments, because, like our puppetmasters Slembana, we do not play handegg.

Also, don't jump on me.

'Don't jump on me' has to be the least convincing attempt at pre-emptively justifying/avoiding criticism of poorly thought out statements such as the one above that I have seen for a long time. What next, the shaggy defence? e___e

I'm not being rude, but can you please help me with a tournament I could enter? I would like to get involved in some sports roleplaying.

What I was meaning by "Don't jump on me" was "Don't bite the newbie (me)".

You are already involved in quite a bit of sports roleplaying, and aren't a newbie, being Slembana

Also, don't jump on me.

This is not a constructive approach. Please stop posting comments along these lines. Also, referring to 'handegg' is not likely to gain you any supporters among our significant North American contingent.


Everyone else - drop it, please. This isn't getting us anywhere.

We'll drop it, he'll continue. See the problem, Arch?

Then you ignore him and stop feeding his persecution complex.

The insistence of many of you to dogpile on him every time he says something which you - not unjustifiably - find irritating is unhelpful, and is only making the situation worse.

Ignore him.

I'm not very popular here, aren't I?

People like you just fine. You just tend to cause a stir by not being very constructive to conversations and occasionally spamming. No one here hates you, though.

How can I get people here to respect me?

Take your time. That's the simplest (and most vague) way I can put it.

What do you mean by "take your time"?

What is the World Cuppet?

[Circle Of Dark]

What is the World Cuppet?

Its a football/Soccer competition created by Polar Islandstates that can only be entered by nations with no KPB ranking

Oh. I know it's football, but I thought it was for puppet nations. Anyway, thank you for the help

I believe that you've been specifically asked by a member of the moderation team - ie myself - just three posts prior to this post to stop publicly wringing your hands over whether people like you or not.

For the time being I would strongly recommend that you restrict your posts in NS Sports threads to queries about the nature of those events, or relevant RP in those events.

Thank you.

That's OK - but if you were to cut back on the number of times you defensively write 'nobody likes me!' or 'please don't jump on me!', I think you'd find you'd be on much firmer footing as far as finding the path towards the respect you so clearly crave.

You're young; you're relatively new; you've made mistakes - all of those things are fine. But by constantly drawing attention to the fact that you don't think people like you, you're only making things worse for yourself, and encouraging others to treat you unfairly.

Just drop it for a while, and focus on nuts and bolts (and RP), and you might find things go a little easier for you.

When will the BoF start, exactly?

[Eastfield Lodge]

When will the BoF start, exactly?

Well, we still need BoF hosts to be voted on, and signups finalised. I'd say in about 2 weeks, 3 weeks tops.

Why are there still some nations which ceased to exist ages ago in the KPB rankings, like Fribberdy Gimlets and Homelands our?

[Polar Islandstates]

Why are there still some nations which ceased to exist ages ago in the KPB rankings, like Fribberdy Gimlets and Homelands our?

AFAIK, because the ranks take into account the last three BoFs, the last three WCQs, the last three WCs, and the last three CoHs. If a nation has competed in any of those, then their rank remains even if they've CTEd. Say they return and reactivate in time for the next tournament, they'd still have their rank.

OK. Thanks for the help. I only remembered about the last 3-for-each thing after I posted. Thank you.
