At the nudging of Bears Armed I posted my Uniforms finally. I may even start a kit company down the road.

Hope that whatever the medical problem was has been fixed okay.

Thank you thank you and definitely feeling better; nothing major just an unfortunate mishap with a pavement and my ankle.

Ah well, it's a good excuse to stay inside and work on more lore and the World Cup.

So I heard you like live updates and stats? Well here is one set of links

Link (See first section)

To make record keeping easier, as well as help Ko-oren with the Fantasy, I did some work and linked everything and anything together. Description together with the actual link is in my RP as above.

> When your nation gets banned from all major sporting events for doping

I don't think we've ever banned somebody from every major sporting event in NS Sports nor could we. ICly, the FFR has certainly done enough to be banned from the NSWC though.

I'll copy your sheet to my Fantasy one every few MDs (if there isn't an easier way), thanks so much!

Edit: Turns out there is an easier way, now only to hope this sheet doesn't break

[Bears Armed]

Sorry that it’s only a very short & simple RP from me today: That’s not ‘burn-out’ again [& already!] on my part, just RL getting a bit in the way…

[NSWC Signups]

With a bid now submitted for the Cup of Harmony, the deadline for host bids is hereby set for Monday, December 23 at 11:59 PM EST (04:59 UTC).

[Kandorith]

I want to write so much more today but alas, I have to cope with only my phone while out of town until tomorrow evening.

[Squornshelan Remnant States]

I'd like to ask the hosts to change my style modifier to +2 for the remainder of qualifying. The IC justification is the appointment of Heldir Zaman as interim manager here.

[Filindostan]

As per my latest RP, the manager spot at the Filindostan National Football Team is open. For any applications, you may send a telegram to my account or via Discord. Thanks!

This has been noted!

Now we are at the midway point, I have kindly updated my tabulated tables with Head 2 Head taken into account before Goal Difference, which is not reflected in the official results tables according to the hosts.

Alternatively, you could look at the Groups Overview in this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NnOJnYy8LcwoqTrJo6YwJDehArg1-MSi9_HUQYShTT4/htmlview# to get a quick idea of the tables.
Of course, you could still refer to my Google drive link based on the quoted post above to view the exact reason for why the particular order was provided. The summary and the main table following Head to Head before GD only works for now, due to the difficulty in calculating Head to Head results every day. However, the individual tables sorted as such can be found in every individual group sheets in the tab 'Fantasy - Mid WS', which will freeze at the current mid-qualifying period as it is used to calculate the fantasy bonuses and the midway point.

(If you have any queries or find any problems, do TG me in game or on the Discord)

[Sarzonia]

As my last RP post states, I'm looking for a new manager after a possible Cup of Harmony appearance or after qualifying ends, since the chances I'll actually make the proper are pretty much zero.

TGs expressing interest with a particular candidate named in the TG are welcomed. So, too, would a RP post in which you have a prospective would-be applicant looking over the opening and deciding to apply.

If you would like to keep my current interim manager and/or my current interim assistant manager as an assistant, please note that in the application.

Thank you.

Voting for the CoH hosting rights and WCC presidential election are now open.

Voting for the CoH hosting rights and WCC presidential election are now open.

With only a few days left in the vote, it's really rather close and there's plenty of voters still yet to send their choices.

My apologies for my lack of involvement this WC.

A combination of Christmas, extensive travel, and a rather difficult winter illness-wise (for those of you aware of my long-term health condition, I'm increasingly finding the winter cold season to be a slog as my immune system gradually gets worse) have limited my involvement.

I hope to pick up again over the closing qualification matchdays, but I recognise this hasn't been ideal.

I'll likely use the knights again next WC because I haven't really been able to give them their due this tournament.

Understood. i hope that your health doesn't get even worse, and that it actually improves again.

QUESTION
If a player is given a red card during World Cup qualifiers,the actual 'World Cup' tournament itself, or the 'Cup of Harmony', how many matches are they suspended for?

No need to apologise, man. Your health and that of family is always more important than anything we do here.

That sucks. I hope you feel better.

[The Archregimancy]

Thank you for the kind words.

My main problem is that illnesses that would likely be minor colds for most of you increasingly turn into flattening chest infections that me bed-ridden for days for me.

It's not much fun.

But enough of feeling sorry for myself; let's try and get some RP done.
