BTW, Could someone please scorinate this?

Neu Engollon (2) - Lisander (13)
Stadium TBC, NEG
Referee: Joaquín Santa Cruz (EJM)

[Neu Engollon]

Carrying on from the discussion in the other thread, the long since former champions would be interested in playing a few test matches against anyone.

What about TKC v Alice Bay? Third party scorinator needed.

I can do this one. Do we have the ranks ready and are there any changes to Style mod? I can look up ranks, but it might be a bit.

[Lisander]

Alice Bay goes the same as the match against Irises.

Perfect

I can do this one. Do we have the ranks ready and are there any changes to Style mod? I can look up ranks, but it might be a bit.

As far as I'm aware I should be unranked as I've been dormant since world cup 19. As for style mod, I'd be going with a +2

[Neu Engollon]

OK, I can work with that. I will get to it later tonight when I get home from work. So probably around 0100 US EST.

Any preferences for TMOs/Referees? If not, I will pull some neutrals from the RUWC 25 match officials thread.

I'd also like the Goats to have matches with Alice Bay, Lisander and TKC, so if we could get those together with a 3rd party scorinator I'd appreciate it. Perhaps it could all be grouped together as some travelling friendly tournament?

[Apox]

If someone gives me the links to the ranks, I can scorinate a load of games tomorrow after work.

I can scorinate Neu Engollon vs. TKC. Lisanderian Refs are all available. Neu Engollon vs. Alice Bay could be next Saturday.

Here you have, Apox.

Apox, if you can, I'd like you to scorinate Neu Engollon vs. Lisander.

Alice Bay 6–3 The Kiaser Colonies @ The Kiaser Colonies home pitch

Officiating (Taken from the NSRB sanctioned RUWC 25 pool)

Name: Carlito MacConnell
National Union: Darmeni Rugby Union (Western Border RFU - Darmen)
Role: TMO
Extra Information: 47 years old, color blind, speaks English.

Name: Matej Djanić
National Union: MattijanaRugbiBand (MRB - Mattijana)
Role: Referee/ touch judge
Extra Information:
Widely regarded as the best referee in Mattijana with experience dating back 15 years, Djanić is an excellent man-manager, often using firm but witty tactics to explain who's boss. Any extensive arguing often brings a comment about football and a card. Mild scuffles are generally allowed to run their course unless something particularly untoward occurs, in which case the TMO and cards may be summoned, a stance that has earned him some criticism from those who say that petty scuffles should be stamped out of the game.
Despite this, his knowledge and application of the rules is almost always exceptional and his wit has made him a much-loved figure among Mattijanan rugby fans. He can speak appropriate levels of Mattijanan, English and German.

Name: Yevgeni Kolyanov
National union: Elejamian Rugby Federation (ERF - Elejamie)
Role: Referee/Touch Judge
Extra Information: Yevgeni Kolyanov has roughly twenty years of experience under his belt, making his big break in the 1997 ERC semi-final game between the Alvis Rams and the Murgon Bullfrogs at the age of 20. He knows the laws of rugby like the back of his hands and, although he takes his job and rugby very seriously, he's not afraid to make a joke every now and then or address the players as "my friend/s". The only downside is that he tends to be a little bit iffy with off-sides, only calling it 75% of the time.

Name: Giuseppi Reinvaughn
National union: Alpen Valley Rugby Union (Neu Engollon)
Role: Referee/Touch judge
Extra information: A solid Sir that has a lot of respect from the players and fellow referees equally. Reinvaughn is a big fan of scrums to settle most every instance they can be utilized. He has an eagle eye for watching the spacing on lineout tunnels and eight men that scoop the ball out too early from scrums. Speaks Frandit, English, German and Italian.

[Apox]

Voila!

Neu Engollon 22-13 Alice Bay

Match Officials:
Name: Lindsey Kendrick
National Union: Darmeni Rugby Union (Metropolitan RFU)
Role: Referee/Touch Judge
Extra Information: 32 years old, speaks English, the only female in the Darmeni contingent of Referees and one of only five in the DRU.

Name: Tomas Kirchmann
National Union: MattijanaRugbiBand (MRB)
Role: TMO
Extra Information:Tomas Kirchmann genrally prefers to mix his on-field and TMO duties in Mattijana, but specialises in off-field officiating. He has a generally formulaic approach to dealing with incidents, but discusses them logically with the on-field referee. He rarely fails to spot things, but his over-officiance has been criticised previously. He enjoys his TMO duties however, and occasionally comes up with comment or two once he has made a decision. He has the recquired levels of Mattijanan, English and German.

Name: Gilleasbaig Mac Cormaig
National union: Alpine Rugby Union (previously Caledonian Rugby Union)
Role: Referee/Touch Judge
Extra Information: 48 years old. Speaks Scottish Gaelic and English. Very strict referree. Don't hesitate to blow the whistle if he sees an infraction.

Name: Daniel Wedge
National Union: The Kiaser Colonies Rugby Union
Role: Referee/Touch Judge
Extra Information: 39 years old, speaks English, German and Danish. Not overly strict. Has a fondness for allowing the game to flow. Sometimes will allow very minor infringements to slide if they aren't affecting the other team too much, will allow quick tap penalties that are taken roughly around the mark and is not a fan or resetting scrums often. However, he will harshly penalise foul play or disrespecting himself or other officials.

CRUX WINS AGAINST LISANDER BARBARIANS AND THE KIASER COLONIES!
Scott Stavros, to therugbyzone.ab

This is not a technical glitch. The sponsors are not shown in respect to an editorial principle of TRZ media holdings. Know more about it in our principles.

The Crux made two excellent internationals. The first, against the "Unofficial" Lisander Barbarians in Cape Navarre, last Saturday. Even without the players from Newport Rugby Union, who refused to send athletes to play against a "fake Barbarians team", the team still stood bravely and won against the striped visitors, 20-6, with an excellent performance of Ferdinand Faron. The reserve Fly-Half had 100% of accuracy, scoring half of the team points.

The second game of the week was against the young team of The Kiaser Colonies. The RWC 18 champions are currently restructuring their national rugby and hosted the Crux in Highroyds Stadium. In a hard-fought game, the dedication of the Crux put to test the incipient new generation of TKC, and the Imperan Rugby make its first victory against an NSRB former champion. By the Penalty Kicks of Skylar Cohen, Alice Bay won the match, 6-3.

[Lisander]

And we're back in that season again!

June Internationals will start, and I'd love to have some rugby Roleplaying. As Usual, I'll have three teams up to play. Lisander and Alice Bay National Teams, and Barbarians, the invitational XV of the Principality.

Lisander (6th, 6.67)

---

Lisander will start the series of Tests in June 2nd with the second leg of Prince of Ermines Cup against Alice Bay, in Rovers Park, home of Osea Rugby Union.
Further games against Neu Engollon and Elejamie are planned, but yet to be confirmed.

Alice Bay (10th, 4.80)

---

Alice Bay receives Lisander in June 2nd. In the first leg, played in World Cup Quarterfinals, Lisander won 13-0, so the crux had the hosting conceded.
No further games planned.

Barbarians (4.66, 30% less than Irises)

---

Barbarians will play an Imperan Rugby XV formed by players of lesser-expression nations in June 2nd.
No further games planned.

[Darmen]

<snip>

The Darmeni Rugby Union would like to propose a three match tour of Lisander and Alice Bay. The 9th (5.44) ranked Darmeni national team would begin its tour with a match against the Barbarians (this would be a non-cap exhibition) followed by Test matches in Alice Bay and Lisander.

We will play a game in all 3 of these nations because rankings are not updated we are unranked with 0.00 points.

[Darmen]

because rankings are not updated we are unranked with 0.00 points.

Updated Ranks can be found here. You're 35th (0.80).

No you won't. You can. Maybe. Don't take it too lightly. Why would I accept Northwest Kalactin as part of my tour? What is said about Kalactanian Rugby? A championship who was disbanded once because you did not accept our criticism? A National Team with a rank of 0.80 with just one RP in last World Cup? I heavily value Roleplaying, and I will never engage in a friendly match of any sport if I don't have enough information of my opponents (I wouldn't have how to write about it, so the game would be useless). If and only if you are prepared to present us Kalactanian Rugby in a decent way in your RPs, I may consider a visit of Barbarians to NK, in June 16 or 23.

Would be interesting, Darmen. May I suggest Barbarians in June 9, Alice Bay in June 16 and Lisander in June 23?

Shall we have the Elejamie-Lisander test, which will also serve as the first time our two teams will compete for the Elejamie-Lisander Cup (working title), on 16th June? Or do you have another date in mind? Because, in all honest, I don't mind when we play it.

Also, I'm up for any other friendlies with any other nations, whether they be home games or away.

If rugby doesn’t respect me I will boycott all rugby events until Lisander is taken off of the postiton of NSRB President.

[Lisander]

If rugby doesn’t respect me I will boycott all rugby events until Lisander is taken off of the postiton of NSRB President.

RESPECT is one of the core values of Rugby.

If you don't want to have fun with the wonderful sport rugby is, my tenure as NationStates Rugby Board Vice-President and as the Acting President will finish after the Rugby Sevens World Cup, that should come soon, after Watson's Bay Sevens. I won't retake that position unless that no one is interested in taking it.

You're, of course, free to participate in any game you desire on this forum, provided you find an opponent team. Lisander wouldn't be a nice choice since the ranking difference is clear, so I politely refuse. Would be a disastrous result.

Yet, I urge you to keep rugby in mind. I suggest you study a little about this wonderful sport. The concept, the values, the rules. It can do wonders to your roleplays. And with that in mind, you could even participate in next edition of Champions Trophy.

You may think I'm trying to mock you, but believe me, I'm not. I have a genuine interest in rugby, and I really would like to have more nations involved. But in better terms. Not being exposed to absurd results.

Based on what I have read of Kalactanian Rugby, these are my suggestions for your improvement.

FIRST. You should keep working in the teams that appeared in the last edition of Kalactanian Premiership. The four teams in bold seem to be the best of them.
Gold Coast Storm
Harbour City RC
Toureres Gunners
Gold Coast RC
Coffs Harbour Hawks
Armidale Kings
Grafton Lions
Kempsey Cowboys
Scranton Island Islanders
North Kempsey Pumas

SECOND. Evolving the league also means evolving the players, bringing international players and sending players abroad. You have Carlos Mitchell and Matthew Hall about to start playing in AVBF Championship. Use them as central figures in your nation rugby. I do the same with some featured players, like Kevin Armada, Eleazar Castell and Andreas Linzmeyer. I made an offer for Thomas Clark. Loren Rugby Kasandora needs a Scrum-Half.

THIRD. A second tier could be added with the eight teams from the previous championship:
Malor County
Ballina
Yamba
Lismore (I like this one, reminds me of Lisander)
Purple Town
Bingara
Kyater
North Coffs

FOURTH. Get a scorinator. If for some reason, any reason, you can't use xkoranate, feel free to grab a copy of Starderian Rugby Scorinator. This is a shabby scorinator for rugby I started based on Starblaydian Quidditch one. It may glitch occasionally (sometimes the numbers of conversions surpasses the number of tries), but is a decent choice if you work carefully.

If you can, free of any tantrums, really work for rugby in your nation, we can still have a match between Northwestern Kalactin and Barbarians on June 23rd.

Okay I think I understand now the Kalactanians and I accept the Barbarians game against the kalactanians. With the domestic rugby stuff I’ll think about adding a 6-8 team second tier and I’ll use that scorinater. If it’s okay with Neu Engollon Clark can transfer to your league.

[Neu Engollon]

If it’s okay with Neu Engollon Clark can transfer to your league.

Yeah, go nuts. Clark is yours again.

Heed the advice and get your own rugby house in order. You will be happier you did as it will all make sense as to who your best players are and the best club teams that contribute to the national squad. More than anything, I'd like to see the Kalactinian squad playing in the finals and being a top contendor because you solidly earned your way there. Knuckle down and it will happen soon enough.
