JEFF McJAFFERTY ORDERS RE-ARREST OF ALAN BELMORES
War on Errorism starts up again

Everyone thought the war on Errorism was over, after the transportation of the entire world's population of Alan Belmores were put inside a hellmouth in Gilmeecia.

The Alan Belmores were given a 'chip' inside their brain to make them believe they had 'escaped' the attacks, an example being footballer Alan Belmore - a talentless misfit, who can only score goals by hanging around on the goal-line and tapping in any ball that comes his way. Much like Emile Heskey.

After news emerged that the Gilmeecian hellmouth actually led to The Belmore Family, (thus putting all Alan Belmores back where they belong), the world turned a blind eye, thinking that the Belmores wouldnt be stupid enough to make mistakes again.

However, after the vulgar and pornographic crime that one Alan Belmore commited - pulling off many people's feet (and we dont mean 'pulling off' as in 'wrenching out'... or maybe we do) it has been decided upon that the Alan Belmores should be re-arrested, slapped, dipped in butter and sold to an eskimo.

Said Johnny Jafferty, head of Randomness: 'Its the only way for it.... flibble.'

God Dom?

In all seriousness, why? All of that is fact. He is retireing at the end of this WC anyway.

all of it is fact? :lol:

Its a godmod. Face it, its unrealistic. I refuse to believe a skinny white Gordon Strachan lookalike is better than Pele. Granted, their should be a few Peles in NSWC football, but they should play for the Brazils and the Argentinas of NS (i.e. Brazillico, LE, EB) and not some second-rate team like TBF.

The day that Norway produces the world greatest player is the day i believe that a side of TBF's stature could produce a Pele, a Maradona, or an Alan Belmore.

^^ LOL AS :D Though to be fair, Liberia did produce George Weah. But George Weah is no Pele, damn good though he is. (I have a highly influential player in my team, Faiwe Irafma, but he's not RPed as Pele, more as George Weah - a figurehead for Progressan sport, not its all-conquering hero.)

So to be distinctly unpredictable, instead of Irafma, here's the shock Progressan nominee:

KIWLO KAMIKLI

With Faiwe Irafma's star on the wane as he ages and a bunch of youngsters now succeeding him, Progressan sport is mutating. But the 'Old Guard' of Progressan sporting heroes die hard, and besides Irafma, none match up to Kiwlo Kamikli.

Captain of the Progressan ice hockey team in two successive Cherry Cup campaigns in Kalaalit Nunaat, he is now leading the national side through to glory one more time on home ice. The pressure has been unbearable, but so far the Progressans have responded. Kamikli has led by example, scoring goals and assists while on ice and influencing the best from others even when he is off it. He remains the top scorer in Progressan ice hockey history for club (Kaza Krush, with 135 goals in six seasons including 28 last season) and country. He may not be the greatest sportsman in history, but he displays a sporting attitude outsiders often feel - rightly or wrongly - are rare in such a violent sport, combined with the talent to back it up.

Ooops Triple Post

Ooops triple post

Wales has produced some stars and they're worse than TBF. (We are ranked 9th in the world, the same as RL England/Turkey!)

Name: Xatri Y
Nationality: Rejistanian

Xatri Y was and still is one of the best field hockey players in the rejistanian team. He pleayed since FHWC2 for the Rejistanha'ny and scored the deciding goal several times. He was also one of the first players in the newbie-crises in FHWC5 in our team, to end the useless quarrel. Another reason: His name confuses, since it is pronouced like english 'I'.

Wales has produced some stars and they're worse than TBF. (We are ranked 9th in the world, the same as RL England/Turkey!)

does Ryan Giggs score 80% of Wales' goals?

Did Mark Hughes or Ian Rush score 80% of Wales' goals?

You say your as good as England? England's best striker of the 80s, Gary Lineker, didnt score 80% of England's goals, and in fact went through a two-year dry spell.

Its the same with Alan Shearer in the 90s.

I just replied to your TG, but i dont think it got sent, so ive put it here:

everyone just takes Mr. Belmore for the godmod that he is, but its annoying when you (and it is only you) start all these threads like 'sports personality of the year' and 'top scorers ever' just to show off this impossible monster that youve created. Any nation could have an Alan Belmore scoring every goal for them, but they dont because A: its no fun and B: it isnt realistic. Also, creating all these 'top scorers' threads is bad for roleplay, because it just means people like you will create players which score all your goals just so you can get on a 'top scorers' sheet.

If Alan Belmore is that good, TBF would be a proper superpower, they'd have at least got to a couple of finals of the world cup and theyd be fiendishly difficult to beat.

But they arent.

Theyre good, but not good like Italy or Holland, but good like Norway or Russia, i.e. a team that always blitzes their qualifying group, but habitually gets knocked out of the world cup in the second round (not including WC9)

The countries that gave birth to Alan Belmore-esque superplayers like Pele, Maradona, Eusebio and Cruyff progressed at least to the semi-finals. Argentina were shit in 1986, but Maradona scored a gazillion goals and made them good. Portugal were shit in 1966, but Eusebio scored a shitload of goals and got them into the semis. Holland were average in 1974 and 1978 but Cruyff (along with a few other very good players like Neeskens and Rep) got them into two consecutive world cup finals.

The problem with TBF is, of course, that whilst Alan Belmore is statistically the best player to have ever graced NS football, he obviously isnt good enough to carry the side into at least the semis of the world cup. If TBF and Alan Belmore are as good as your rp's say they are, they would have to be world-beaters. But they arent.

My point: If Alan Belmore really was the world-beating player that you say he is, then TBF would be getting worse now as Belmore gets older, not better (your rank has gone upwards consistently, no?). When Alan Belmore was in his prime, at age 24 to 30, TBF would have been unstoppable, but they werent. If i remember correctly, you didnt get past the first round in your first three cups.

You could say that, as Belmore gets older and less potent, the rest of the TBF team got better, but seing as Alan Belmore is still always on the scoresheet, and always the centrepoint of your RPs, this would have to be untrue.

Making Alan Belmore score a good 80% of your goals just to make him seem like a superplayer is a godmod, because if he was a superplayer, TBF would just score more goals. Alan Belmore cant be as good as you say he is, because it doesnt fit in with the results that TBF have.

At the end of the day, Alan Belmore being the best player in the world, despite his team being about as good as England/Turkey, is like a 60-million nation with a 'strong' economy saying they have 500,000 nuclear warheads. Vis a vis, it is a godmod.

Nominations
Alan Belmore-THE BELMORE FAMILY

We object, on the grounds that Alan Belmore has no personality.

1. Alan Belmore has scored approx 40-60% of goals, not 80 as you say. We are a high scoring team with an average of atleast 2 goals a match.

2.I got into the second round in my 3rd cup (WC7.....now who hosted that?). I have not looked back since then beating EB in my last match.

3. Is there any chance I might have just created this thread for fun? I am not going to be a judge so Alan Belmore may fail miserably.

4. Umm..... honestly the reason people think Alan Belmroe is a GODMOD is because of his high scores tally but compared to the TBF talley 72 is not all that much.(40/50 sumthing percent.)

Well, Johnny Wikinson got it this year!

BTW-AS and Ravenspire, if you object, do something about it either
A. Submit a Sportsman
B. Become a judge
That will do much more than you just sittin g there complaining.

Oy, we're most wholly and completely confused here in the Bureaucratic States.

Last time we checked, Alan Belmore was the prudent, concise and revered Prime Minister of the Belmore Family. And, the other last time we checked, he was a world class correspondent for the Alan Belmore News Network as well as manager, defensive coach and offensive coach of the Belmore Family national team.

And don't forget, the world class striker who could kick Pele's ass any day of the week. Including Funday. And Alan Belmore day, celebrated every day of the week in the [Alan] Belmore Family.

How could you forget all these things in your bio of Alan Belmore?

Paul Dussis, LE.

Urk, Giant Zucchini. 'Nuff said.

OOC: The only Roanian sport is Duelling... and if you can live through a match, you're good.

I think I'll give this a miss.

The problem with TBF is, of course, that whilst Alan Belmore is statistically the best player to have ever graced NS football...

That glory belongs to Urk, unfortunately.

Granted, their should be a few Peles in NSWC football, but they should play for the Brazils and the Argentinas of NS (i.e. Brazillico, LE, EB)

Yes, and that country is Giant Zucchini. Urk is the evergreen Pele of NationStates.

Description:
To come soon...

1. Alan Belmore has scored approx 40-60% of goals, not 80 as you say. We are a high scoring team with an average of atleast 2 goals a match.

2.I got into the second round in my 3rd cup (WC7.....now who hosted that?). I have not looked back since then beating EB in my last match.

1: so thats 60 then, still a godmod i'd say

2: whats your point? TBF's steady improvement was my arguement for Alan Belmore being a godmod

3: Its fun for you, its pointless for everyone else because everyone else tries to make their team realistic i.e. share the goals out between their strikers and midfielders.

4: 50% is not all that much? In something like 20 years, the guy has never missed a game, scored half the goals that TBF score, all his goals are brilliant and he looks like Gordon Strachan? godmod :p

The problem with TBF is, of course, that whilst Alan Belmore is statistically the best player to have ever graced NS football...

i was talking about human players, not psycho vegetables, hence why i didnt mention any TnUI players :)

Well do somthing about it, become a judge or put your own enterent in.

PS, how come Alan is a GODMOD when Urk is fine?

The day that Norway produces the world greatest player is the day i believe that a side of TBF's stature could produce a Pele, a Maradona, or an Alan Belmore.

A certain George Best could probably get mentioned here - though he didn't score that many goals for N.Ireland

I agree with you!

PS, how come Alan is a GODMOD when Urk is fine?

Hmm, I also had the same question. Even if he scored a smaller amount of goals (in per cent), it is somehow *very* unrealistic to have Urk's statistic. I would also consider it GODMOD to say our nation consists of zucchinis and they have that lifespan, but since the results are the things that matter, I simply IGNORE unrealistic statics.

:roll: Urk is obviously a joke :P

i dont want anything to do with the sports personality of the year tbh, im just gonna take the piss out of TBF :)

btw, about George Best, yes he was one of the greatest players who ever lived, but the rest of the Northern Ireland squad were, are, and probably allways will be, about as good as Hull City's reserves (proof: Northern Ireland's goalkeeper for most of the nineties, Alan Fettis, was Hull City's substitute keeper at the time :))

In any case, of the few goals that Northern Ireland scored, i doubt he got that many.

Anyway, im gonna stop bitching about Alan Belmore and his collection of godmoding Alan Belmores, so here, ive bought TBF an xmas present:

*fires cannonball out of an ignore cannon* :) merry christmas dude :)

I'm not complaining. I'm mocking.

But, your wish is my command.

Nomination:

TIMMY WILLIAMS
Age: 9
Nationality: Ravenspire
Race: Human
Occupation: Student
Statistics: 72 appearances for the Shunsan Volcanoes (Tir Eselyn Little League Baseball), not including 2 all-star appearances and 5 Little League World Series nationals appearances.

Reason: Timmy is a little-league baseball hero. He has helped the Volcanoes to 5 Little League World Series nationals (4 of which resulted in a first-round elimination) and got the team ranked 47th in the nation after their first World Series (of 48 ). Not only does he hold the Ravenspire Little League batting-average record but the R.B.I. record, Participation Award, and Second Place in the National Spelling Bee regionals. He has pulled off many feets (of various insects and spiders), as well as many feats, including learning to tie his own shoes, learning to read, and graduating with honors (from kindergarten). He really is someone to be described as a great of Little League Baseball. He has overcome many character-assassination attempts, including the recent "Cooties Scandal" caused by a jealous rival. So I urge you, vote for Timmy Williams for Sports Personality of the Year. You don't want to see little Timmy cry, do you?

My conceptualisation of Urk began when I won World Cup 3. I had to come up with a personality that could win a World Cup with an otherwise average team. As the team emerged, the development of the rest of the team also improved, producing other Zucchini stars (Kerrnigit, Oog) and hot prospects (Shtaan, Plaat, Xcavabar, Zurk, Woog, Furtermachtermorgstrasluwecragnavonchelsenntungkshvaghugtihetesprishtengckshnoff, Messerschmittahugengrossenbiggenfattenheineapmudorischeronzonisonobuonioevrepique) In fact, I based GZ's failure to qualify for WC6 on his dedication to his club Marauding. It also helps that they are "psycho vegetables"! :lol:

PS, how come Alan is a GODMOD when Urk is fine?

That's because Urk is a vegetable.

And of course vegetables that play football is definatly not a GODMOD, you see it every day[/sarcasm]

Not meaning to bring up old threads but....

Urk is universally accepted as the greatest NationStates footballer ever, and will always be so. And frankly, none of us mind that. I mean, we all like zucchinis ;)
