This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
As per the bid, each day I will be offering a small piece of information about Græntfjaller life and offering a related prompt. These prompts are not required and there is no extra bonus for doing them compared with doing a match report or any other type of RP; they’re simply there because this long tournament format may lead to ideas running dry, and I’m well aware there are many other competitions currently ongoing. Feel free to respond in whatever format you like – or ignore them entirely.

Græntfjall’s creation myth involves the arrival of the Vikings. They are portrayed in legends as a savage race of plunderers from the frozen north, although modern archaeological finds of grave goods suggest a trading people with an artistic side. According to Græntfjaller lore, the country was at the time a barren wasteland ruled over by evil frost giants. The Viking warriors slew the frost giants, and sowed their bones in the field, causing a verdant summit – or “green mountain”, grænt fjall – to rise up. But the curse of the frost giants lingered, returning every year with the bitter winters that give the White Winter Queendom the other part of its name. (Scientists suggest it’s just something to do with air currents bouncing off the mountains.) What is your country’s creation myth, or do you even have one?
Because there are no head-to-head tiebreakers to use, the groups are not sorted by tiebreakers yet. The tables are manual, so if you see any problems please alert me ASAP.
