Welcome to World Cup 96, brought to you by Mertagne and Huayramarca!
This is the roleplay thread for this edition of the tournament. Please post your roleplays in this thread to be graded by the hosts, and more importantly, enjoyed by your fellow competitors. Posts here should be strictly in-character [IC], with out-of-character [OOC] notes specified explicitly in your post. Please don't reserve posts in this thread if you are not one of the hosts of the tournament - this is poor etiquette. OOC discussion surrounding the tournament should be placed in the World Cup Discussion Thread, linked above.
Please remember if you are involving another nation in your roleplays to follow their roleplay permissions, which should be outlined in their roster.
