Lemmy is the head of the WCC now, it's up to him to start the WC13 Signup thread, or decide who should do it.

I'll try my hand at heading the WCC, though never having been voted in, I'd call my authority dubious at best. At any rate, here is the signup thread for World Cup Thirteen (or WCXIII as it's commonly known).

To join the WCXIII qualifiers, post to this thread with words to the effect that you would like to participate. If you would like to bid to host the tournament, please state this. Note that nations that have not participated in at least one World Cup will not be considered for hosting.

Places will not be held for nations who do not post on their own (and this includes puppets). So if you want to enter a puppet, post in their name.

Please, to give all interested parties a chance to participate, only one puppet per nation (though any actual regulations regarding the entrance of puppets into the tournament will be determined by the WCXIII hosts).

At the news that World Cup 13 signups are being taken,

Association of Football Director (OAF Director) George McDouglas would like to let out a resounding scream of "OGLETHORPIA ARE IN FOR WORLD CUP 13!!!"

This message brought to you by Amalgamated Industries Inc.

Sign up the Orange-Blues!

Why non-dead? I think you should bring back the zombies and have an undead Audioslavian team.

Double post deleting hazardous to your health
'Deleting double posts is a major health detriment,' says leading Oglethorpian physician

By Bill Christmas

OGLETHORPIA (BT) -- A report published by Megalopolis City MD Jim Brown last week has sent shockwaves through the Bureaucratic States' medical field -- citing that the deleting of double posts is a major health hazard and poses a threat to all Oglethorpians as a significant health detriment. Already sides have been chosen, those skeptical of the findings and those calling praise to Doctor Brown for his findings in the field of the effects of double-post deleting.

Doctor Brown took a sample of 30 Oglethorpians off the streets of Megalopolis City, who averaged double and triple posts roughly 1/4 times they posted -- the mean amount of double & triple posts effectively being 25%. Of the 25% posted, a little less than half admitted to deleting them -- that's about 12% of posts deleted for those of you keeping track.

What Doctor Brown recorded in these 'double-post deleters' was a strange malady that caused long fits of coughing, minor bronchitis and in severe cases, a mental condition consisting of tourettes-like shouts of "god damn forums" and "work, damn you."

"Ze best vay to afoid dese zymptoms iz to avoid deleting your double postz. It iz a fery debilitating illness, ya. Fery bad mental condition. You don't vant dat, do you? Da?" said Doctor Brown concerning the posibility of contracting the condition that the good Doctor dubbed as "Double-Post Disease," or DPD.

While the illness is quite unpleasant, Doctor Brown cited no long term effects and that one could get well in a matter of weeks with the proper steps taken.

"It is all fery zimple," said Doctor Brown. "Just don't delete your double postz, and you should be vine, da. Even if you hafe ze dizease, just avoid deleting your double posts and it will go avay in a matter of dayz."

Straight from the doctor's mouth -- don't delete your double posts and you won't contract Double-Post Disease.

---

OOC:

In short...

Don't delete your double posts!

It just messes up the pages real bad and makes things harder on the rest of us.

Phantom pages are t3h sux.

NEWI Cefn Druids would like to come along for further humiliation.

The Eagle's Nest, fresh off its acceptance into WCXII will dive into WCXIII showing that while they may be novices at football, they will at least give other teams more of a chance to pad their scores.

My nation would like to sign-up for the World Cup.

Liverpool England, ex-champions and 7-time entrants, will enter for the eighth time, and consider a hosting bid. Want me to post as Oddslavo?

Places will not be held for nations who do not post on their own (and this includes puppets). So if you want to enter a puppet, post in their name.

There ya go, LE.

((Oh, I'll give it another go! Maybe I'll even not-not qualify this time! ;)))

Magnus Valerius will participate, of course...

Of course Tanah Burung will take part.

A relatively new nation, the Republic of Fortuna Prospera, would like to express Her People's interest in participating, for the first time, in the WCXIII, although the skill level of Her team is dubious at best.

Lucky thirteen for the Progressans, we hope, as we enter our seventh Cup (making this the first time we can say we've entered more than half the Cups.)

Oh, and *LOL* @ the Ogle double post thing :D

and TB too... though that assumes we're hosting WC12 with Lemmy :D

damn - need a new possible cohost partner. *Goes off to pester Ogle and Bedi*

I'll be participating as usual.... this being my 10th World Cup....

And I WON'T be putting a hosting bid in, as I will be fully supporting SN38 and RM :D

The Compound interest national team wants to sign in.

If this is what we think it is (A British Football/American Soccer tournament) we will gladly participate, and enter a bid for host nation.

I wouldn't put a bid in to host until you've completed at least on World Cup....
Because I could almost guarantee that you wouldn't get a single vote.

Our grand nation is ambitious, and shall try anyway.

East Spaam signs up again :P

Ever notice that for all their big words, no TBF nation has ever beaten a Spaamanian nation, and has never done as well either? Funny that.... :P

The Nomadic Ppls of Lennon Marx wish to be considered in such an event- we are currently competing in the Baptism of Fire Tournament and would like to make the leap to the World Cup as a whole- especially as the BOF is supposed to be a way of getting newbies ready for whats expected in the big time. IF you accept our application- our ppl will be most appreciative

The Federal Republic's National Team would like to sign up for WC13.

We will put in a hosting bid, dunno who with though.

I think part of the lack of credability is putting in hosting bids everytime, only you and LE have done that and neither of you have hosted, connection?

*KNOCKS* LET US IN

The BSE Free Bovines would like to participate in WC XIII. We are now involved in the BOF Tournament and feel that our national team will leave this competition better prepared to compete on the international stage. It would be an honor for our young team to compete against some of the best in the world, and I am sure we would not embarrass ourselves too badly.

East Spaam signs up again :P

Ever notice that for all their big words, no TBF nation has ever beaten a Spaamanian nation, and has never done as well either? Funny that.... :P

Intrestingly enough, no Spaamanian team has managed to beat a Belmorian team. Probably due to deafening from the massive crowds eh?

Only one meeting, and no goals. And that was on neutral territory. THE WAR CONTINUES - will it resume on the battlefields of Lemmitania and Kaze Progressa?

A WC12 RP thread will be coming soon, with details of the WC12 draw and other vital information on the first post.

And another thing:

DON'T DELETE DOUBLE POSTS!

I would love to participate in one of these!

Well, actually, East Spaam beat Belmorian Foxworthia twice :P

(This is a puppet of NEWI Cefn Druids)Again with the sentient food. Giant Zucchini's, Hells Bovine's, Evisceratomatoes, Canned Spaam - the list goes on an on. And now...an egg...

Perhaps instead of trying to sort out by region, we should sort out by food group.

After being sacked as NEWI Cefn Druids head coach at the end of the Cup of Harmony, Trevor Stevens is in Cefn Job Centre looking for any football related jobs. The computer only picks out one result. Being absolutely broke because of the huge fines imposed on him by the FANCD, Trevor decided to take an application form. Here's how he filled it in...

APPLICATION FORM FOR JOB AS TBF'S CO-HOST AT WCXIII



Name: Trevor Stevens


Address: 13 Diddlesquat Lane, Cefn City, Cefn-Mawr, NEWI Cefn Druids, Axis Of Absurdity.


Nationality: Druid (of the NEWI Cefn variety)


How prepared are you to...

a) sweeten up WCC members? I wouldn't use the word prepared, but I did once give a slice of battenburg cake to an Audioslavian, who promptly turned away and threw it back at me, saying "What the f--- do you expect me to do with that? Eat it?" All I could do was walk away, head hung low.

b) discretely bribe the committee? As long as they like pies and battenburg cakes, it shouldn't be a problem.

c) build stadiums beyond your wildest dreams? Well, maybe your worst nightmares.

d) regularly go on #wcc IRC channel? Of course. Any TV exposure would be good for the cause.


Are you...

a) a member of the WCC or a very well liked RPer? Well... no and... um... well... shall we move onto the next one?

b) Open minded about failure? Oh, come on! I'm a Druid! failure comes as second nature!

c) good at spreadsheet skills? I'll say! I even put two duvets on my bed sometimes, just because I'm so damn good at it.


How do you feel a hosting bid best be put to the committee? On a plate, with gravy (for savoury) or custard (for sweet)... oh, goddammit, I got it mixed up with pie again.


Would you be willing public ridicule just for the cause of your bid being a success? We do it for all kinds of reasons.


Finally, do you think we would beat a bid from Snub Nose 38? No... I mean, yes... I mean, if they try with Runaway Moose, we won't... I mean... um... I must have got it right in there somewhere?

Now retun this form to the following address
Room 101,
Parliment Building,
Parliment Square,
Alan City,
Alan County,
THE BELMORE FAMILY,
FIFA.



So he did.

(OOC: Unfortunately, this isn't a real application due to both shortfalls in criteria and having less time during WC13. Maybe next time, eh?)

Wella enter in WC13.

Hey-ho, another rollercoaster ride of agony and ecstasy for us, please.

Damn straight :P



Mostly agony, though.

The Armed Republic of Murphdawggia would like to enter it's team (The Murphdawggia Tards) in the competition.

Better hurry up.

Cockbill Street is in.

Commerce Heights will be participating and will submit a co-hosting bid when its other member is determined.

Runaway Moose would like to participate in World Cup 13, marking their return to the world cup after a 1 cup hiatus and a couple cups of just not enough time to be a worthwhile team. Now that things are getting back in order in the nation, we would also like to accept Snub Nose 38's offer, and reconfirm our bid to bring the cup to the Asteroid. Thank you.

Please include The Red and White Wizards in the Quest for World Cup 13.

2. I have not seen a post by Oddslavo, so they are not on the list. If I missed it, someone please tell me.
3. Alpha Commune is not being considered for hosting. As stated in the opening post, only nations that have participated in at least one WC will be considered.

Queen Rhiannon, ruler of the empire of Mordecei wishes to express her team's interest in participating in WC 13, although we are an infant nation and the team's expertise is dubious at best.

Eh.

Lemmy's a big boy, he can do the big list of entrants himself

Fresh off their intensive preparations for WCXII, the Gormith Football Federation proudly states it's intent to do just a little bit better in WC XIII. Which would undoubtedly require playing, so yeah, sign us up.

Eh.

Lemmy's a big boy, he can do the big list of entrants himself

Sorry, Ogle, I meant to thank you. You effort was appreciated.

Oh, I don't mind at all.

I was just noting the fact that you'd updated it up to Warnock's Wizards and didn't need any further assistance :D

The USFA has agreed to lease and fly in its stadiums to SN38 should they win the World Cup. Of course, this means if Spaam should qualify, they will have a home ground advantage in the World Cup ;)

Ravenspire will participate.

There, Lemmy. Oddslavo = IN.

I know how hard it is for you to post as a puppet, I find it very difficult as well. *signuppostage*

Speaking of puppets (what a convenient lead-in), I've created a thread for nations to VOLUNTARILY provide a list of their nation and it's puppets. It's at here---->

WCC "Puppet" Registration (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2725635#2725635)

And it's voluntary. If you don't want to "register", then don't.

Runaway Moose is currently home to four world class stadiums, and two more are under construction.
The Antlerodome, located just on the outskirts of Antleropolis seats 80,000 and has the world's longest cantilevered steel truss roof structure with fabric canopy and span of 300 meters. It is the home of Alces Rex.

Bell City Stadium, home of the Bell City Bludgeoneers, has a seating capacity of 85700

The Loofnia Football Centre houses the Balla Alces Stampede. This stadium was built by the team's sponsors, the Loofnia shoulder pad company, the largest shoulder pad company in Asteroid B612 and surrounding areas in 2001 just outside of the historic town of Balla Alces. It seats 63700.

The Tinestadome, built just outside of the football star's childhood home of Alcesia, and housing the Alcesia Allstars. This stadium seats 49133 but will be expanded to seat 62000 before the year's end.

Designs Under Construction:

Located on the opposite end of Antleropolis, the Metro Sport Centre will house both the Antleropolis Supercharge and the national rugby team, The Rockskulls. The stadium seats 90,000 Expected completion by April of next year.

Timway would like to participate.

BeS are in.

The Snub Nose 38 and Runaway Moose bid to co-host World Cup 13 is withdrawn without prejudice.

Please understand that we had been seriously considering this before yesterday's little tiff. And that's all we consider it to be. I am confident that I over-reacted to LE's post.

RM has a new part-time job, and just found out she must be away for about a week during the WC13 timeframe. She also has to devote a big chunk of time to Grad School Application (many of you know what a pain that is)

SN38 just lost a key employee (my deputy), and will be doing two full time jobs for an indeterminate time. Also have to be away (filling in for that same deputy) for a week in the WC13 timeframe.

We're sorry to have to withdraw, but would rather be sorry about withdrawing our bid than sorry we completely screw up a WC after accepting responsibility to run it (include an "if" in there somewhere).

No hard feelings. See the beginning of my response to LE yesterday. I was in a very bad mood, and probably should have wanted before I replied.

We're still in, just not as potential hosts.

We are having so much fun with WCXII, the Indigo Islands will join WCXIII.

Based on our current upward trend, Svecia will come back for their 14th World Cup.

We would like a spot if there are any left.


-Redavic

NOTE TO LEMMY - FUKLAND HAS BEEN MODBOMBED. REMOVE HIM FROM THE LIST.

Based on our current upward trend, Svecia will come back for their 14th World Cup.

This is WC13 so how can you have participated in 14 World Cups???

BUMP!

OK, before I type, a few apologies, first to LE, hope this doesn't ruin the bid, second to people with small screens, sorry if this is a long post, thirdly to people who are easily offended by strong language and sorry if this sounds very ego-tistical, good, now that's over

OK, with the vote coming up in the next couple of weeks I would just like to express my feelings on the WCC. To me it seems exceedingly strange that someone of my spreadsheet ability has not been chosen to host the World Cup. I have proved myself to be a stunning host in several cups which I have hosted, the Champions' League (Just ask Giant Zucchini), the Cherry Cup (ask Kalliat Nunat), the Handball World Cup (ask Cockbill Street) and The Field Hockey World Cup. All it seems to me is that most of the World Cup Committee is too far up their own arses to see that actually I would be the best host. All you can see is that "Snub Nose 38 is nice", but I sorry, but nice is the thing that leads to mistakes in World Cups such as Giant Zucchini buggering the match days for my group, Outrage at Warnocks Wizards and Total n Utter Insanity and Lemmy making a spreadsheet that is not compatible with KPs computer. And in hosting 6 times I have never fucked anything up. Explain that please. So, I may be 13, I might be an annoying shit at times, but how on earth does that make me a worse host than those I've lost to.

...Lemmy making a spreadsheet that is not compatible with KPs computer.

But you have to admit, if you have excel 2003, my spreadsheet works like a charm.

And in hosting 6 times I have never f--- anything up. Explain that please. So, I may be 13, I might be an annoying shit at times, but how on earth does that make me a worse host than those I've lost to.

It's hard to know how to address this, TBF. It's probably worth noting that many hosting bids (including mine for wc7, TnUI's for wc11 and KP's for wc12) have been premised largely on "improving the formula." Myself, I don't see what it matters whether you're a wiz with spreadsheets. None of our "new and improved" formulas have been complete successes. Does being able to post scores at 5pm GMT each match day really make one the best choice for host? IMHO, getting the scores up daily isn't critical. Personally, I feel like scores are posted too often; I never have time to RP more than a third of my matches. Perhaps the WCC is weighted toward people who feel as I do, simply because we've tended to choose new hosts based on our affinity for their RPing... thus creating a group of like-minded wardens for the WC.

I can't speak for anyone else on the WCC, but I don't think that being a good host is about making the trains run on time. It's about enjoying the trip. And I very much enjoy the trips SN38 takes us on.

Note, for reference: I haven't promised my vote to anyone, yet.

I am soooo tempted to rip TBF apart here.... but I'm going to hold my tongue.

For now.

I would love to see a larger more competitive field in the qualifying rounds of WC 13...so therefore

*BUMP!*

Double post :roll:

Triple post :(

Dubb- trip- quadruple post

Whatevercomesafterquadruple post :o

Any idea on how the Cup's going to be setup this time around?

For reference:

World Cup 7/8:
15 groups of 6
30 qualifiers + 2 co-hosts go into the Cup proper

World Cup 9:
10 groups of 8
30 qualifiers + 2 co-hosts go into the Cup proper

World Cup 10:
10 groups of 9
30 qualifiers + 2 co-hosts go into the Cup proper

Note*: World Cup 10 had 18 matchdays, but two were bye-weeks

World Cup 11:
12 groups of 7
24 automatic qualifiers
6 third-place tournament qualifiers
2 co-hosts qualify for the Cup proper

World Cup 11 had that boring/exciting/lengthy third-place tournament -- the other two were straight qualification. We ought to decide.

We were just wodering whether you play a double or single elimination tournament?

It all works a little like this:

With the current setup, 98 teams enter World Cup 12 qualifying.

96 competitors are setup in groups of 8 -- a total of 12 of them. 2 co-hosts are automatically qualified.

After 14 matchdays, the top 2 of the 12 groups advance -- 24 teams are automatically qualified.

The 12 3rd-place teams enter a randomly picked 3rd-place tournament -- after 2 matches, the 6 teams with the highest aggregrate score of the two games go with the other 24 auto-qualified teams into the first round.

With the co-hosts, that makes 32 teams -- 8 groups of 4 play each other once, the top 16 teams after three matchdays emerging into the second round, the single elimination point of the Cup.

From the second round you go to the quarterfinals, with only 8 teams.

That goes to the semifinals with 4 teams -- this determines the final, and the other match of the day is the not-so-prestigious 3rd place match to determine 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and the World Cup champion.

Voila -- done eleven times over, and we're on the 12th iteration.

World Cup 11 had that boring/exciting/lengthy third-place tournament -- the other two were straight qualification. We ought to decide.

It depends on the host, I reckon. The Street and Island bid are planning on 100 teams - 10 groups of ten - where the best three proceed to the WC. Others might have other ideas.

Count me in!

1. We are delighted to see our regional neighbors the Free Radicals joining us in the world's premiere sporting event.

2. Steve's Island is a puppet of Brazillico, is that correct?

3. International Racing must post to the thread to be added to the participants' list.

#2 is a yes -- Braz could confirm if necessary.

The BFA confirms this statement.

On another note, Bedistan and CH plan to use the tried-and-true WC7/8 qualifying method of 92 total teams in 15 groups of 6. Short, simple, no extraneous playoffs necessary.

Sliponia will enter it's national team again.

You guys have Melmond twice on your list of competitors. Although we are a rather big nation and could in all theory field two teams...in our first foray in the world cup...we would like to remain one unified team.

I've looked over the list I'm "keeping" (the one on page 6) and Melmond is only there once as far as I can tell (# 71).

If you're referring to the fact that Melmond is on the list on page 1 and the list on page 6 - well, they're really both the same list.

If, on the other hand, Melmond really is on the page 6 list twice, please point out to me the number(s). I will fix it, and make an appointment with my Opthomologist.

In going over the list on page 1, I do find MELMOND TWICE: 3rd up from the bottom, and 12th up from the bottom. Not to worry - Lemmy will fix it before we get WC13 underway.
:wink:

If it is not to late, I would like to sign up for the world cup.

If it is not to late, I would like to sign up for the world cup.It shouldn't be a problem. We usually take about 98, and we're up to about 83 (including you). Watch for your nation to be added to the list in the 1st post of this thread.

I wish you two luck in your work, and hope we continue to have your presence known in the football world :)

Nooooooo!
We were hoping for a first ever meeting against the mighty SN38 in Sten - the Halfassed nation had even began making its first ever spaceship in preparation for the trip to Asteriod - (insert relevant #!)

Glad to hear you'll still be around.
Good luck with the workload SN & to RM with the job!

Sign me up good sirs.

Thankyou please.

Please remove Liverpool England and The Belmore Family from the hosting lists.

On behalf of the Commonwealth of Aserjin, we respectfully request admission into the World Cup. It will be our first World Cup, but we would like the chance to exercise our people's skill and compete with the rest of the world.

GACK!! EEP!! and OOPS!!

It being Saturday, with most of the folks who inhabit my house currently somewhere that is not in the house, and not having to worry too much about the Hooligans, who have already managed to get themselves a ticket home instead of to Lemmitania/Kaze Progressa, and etc reasons, I had some time free.

So...I went back and read this entire thread. And found that, in my attempt to help Lemmy by keeping track of entrants (on page 6 of this thread), I very nearly screwed that up as bad as the Hooligans screwed up WC12 Qualifiers.

I'VE LEFT TWO OF YOU OFF THE LIST!!

(for those who watch american football)

"After further review" we find that the following two sides have signed up, on the pages indicated, and were left of the entrants list being maintained by Snub Nose 38:

GIANT ZUCCHINI - Page 4, between One Red Dot and An egg

Indigo Islands - Page 6, between Aquilla and Vozvyshennost

The Snub Nose 38 Unofficial List has been corrected. The Snub Nose 38 scribe who had been assigned this task, apparently color blind in the "Green-Indigo" spectrum, has been fired. Actually "Fired" - we burnt the little sucker at the stake.

The Snub Nose 38 Ministry of Correcting Our Own Stupid Errors will carefully review Lemmitanias Official List on page one, and if either of these two is missing, will telegram Lemmitania immediately.

...that is all...

*subsequently, he comes back to pester you again*

Lemmy's list does have Giant Zucchini and Indigo Islands on it.

BUMP FOR REJIS/CS to host.

Hazatak is prepared to smash any rivals and would like to promptly join in.

The Street and Island bid organisers would just like to add that their competition requires 102 participants - just bear that in mind before you close sign-ups.

Eaglet's in.

90 Eaglet (puppet of Aquilla)
91 Pablitopia (puppet of Pablicosta)
92 Hazatak

------------------------
CS: Fixed - see page 6
Lov: Fixed - good catch!

Note that, should The Greater Federated Democracy of Bedistan and The Free-Market Republic of Commerce Heights (otherwise known as "the capitalists" :P ) host the Cup, no more participants will be accepted.

Suggestion:
Either -

1. Establish a fixed number of participants (including hosts) that will be accepting into each/all World Cups.

- or -

2. If the hosts are allowed to establish the number of participants, then select the host(s) soon enough each time so they can take over the sign-ups and end them when their particular number is reached.

(in this case, no one knows what number, between 92 and 102, will be participating in WC13)

Hey SN38, I could've sworn this is Pablicosta's first cup, and puppets arent allowed for new nations. The new-look LE bid, if accepted, will accept another 6 entrants, taking away Pablitopia.

How soon we forget...LE, Pablicosta was in our group for qualifying for WC XI. I couldn't tell you how many WCs he was in before that though.

hmmm.... okay.......

I couldn't tell you how many Pablicosta was in either...I didn't know there was a rule against puppets for 1st timers. Makes sense, though.

just wondering(yes id did sign up) when does the world cup start? I've been waiting but never found the thread if it exhists.

Pablicosta's been in a bunch of non-consecutive WCs...I'm not sure how many, but my guess would be at least four.

just wondering(yes id did sign up) when does the world cup start? I've been waiting but never found the thread if it exhists.The Qualfication Matches for WC12 just ended - now comes the World Cup 12 Tournament itself. I'm guessing that will be over sometime around the last week of March - and then WC13 Qualifiers will start.

thanks

Lemmitania doesn't seem to be around to update the list...

Lemmitania doesn't seem to be around to update the list...Lemmy's busy hosting WC12 right now. Check it out.

Link to WC12 RP Thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122219&start=720)

Don't worry - he'll check the whole thread, and my "unofficial" list, before he finalizes who's in WC13. :wink:

Cool. Ya, I'll check out WC12, thanks for the link.

The United Socialist States of Fahigland would like to participate in WCXIII. This is the nation's first go-around in such a tournament.

UNOFFICIAL list moved to page 13

[93] 6 Spaces Left!
- OR - 10 Spaces Left!
(depending on which co-hosts are selected)

Or -1 (negative one) Space Left! (remember, the B-CH system has 92 teams)

As such, this means that anyone signing up after this point is not guaranteed to get in -- it depends on who hosts. Just keep that in mind.

Thanks, Beddy. I'm also going to check the WC13 Bid thread and make sure that part of my post is correct. I think it's not right the way it is now. (checked - fixed - I think it's right now)

After rather stupidly forgetting the password for 'An egg' (after all, eggs have no memories), the egg has emigrated, and is now 'Just an egg'. However, this requires a 'new' nation to sign up, though it is to replace one already entered. We would like to request that 'Just an egg' be a direct replacement for 'An egg' in the listings, but if this is not possible, then we would like to re-enter this humble egg onto the list at the bottom, and allow Fahigland to enter their first World Cup instead.

This announcement was made by the FANCD on behalf of 'Just an egg', as the egg is without the ability to speak.

Just an Egg: Sounds like a Lemmy, or WCC, decision to me.

puppets arent allowed for new nations

Says who? What's with the arbitrary rule-setting? This and all other questions relating to the admission of puppets will be up to the hosts.

I think several nations have said this during the last sign-ups.

I believe I was the first to say this back in the good ole days when the WCC wasn't laughed at...wait those days didn't exist...anyway I said to the 'gools that they couldn't enter a puppet as it was a privilege to those who had been around a bit and/or RPed.

In that case, I take back my accusation that LE is setting rules arbitrarily.

However, as the current 'authority' on 'rules,' I'm still leaving it up to the hosts to decide.

Not that it appears that any new entrants have actually entered puppets, Pablicosta being an old-timer.

Lemmy - I'm willing to take over signup thread for WC14, as I did for the last part of WC12. Oh and newbies will not be able to enter puppets if I got chosen host.

4 PLACES LEFT!!! (or) -1 PLACES LEFT! (or) 9 PLACES LEFT!

Since Rejistania just won the World Cup (congrats Orange and Blues)...how soon is this baby going to start. The Melmondian goddess has a job she has to work around to watch over us and supply us with excellent and fun RPs. Thank yas.

Since it doesnt appear like we're going to get any more participants, how about the hosts just adapt to the number that we have now?

Advantage for the Bedistan-CH bid: Enough nations have signed up to allow our plan to work. ;)

Here is an idea of how we can group this....

93 teams signed up - 2 host countries = 91 countries in qualifying

13 x 7 = 91

We will have thirteen groups of seven.

The top two finishers of each group as well as the third place finisher with the most points will automatically qualify...thus 27 spots are taken

the remaining 12 teams are randomly matched and will play home-and-homes, the winners of those will again be randomly matched and play home-and-home.

Everyone is in and the qualifying should take as much time if not a little bit shorter than the last World Cup

Looking forward to their first entry in the cup

Sign up before it's too late!

9 places left!

*bumpers*

Don't miss your chance for glory, participate!

did you get my sign up?


If not, Please Sign up the Colony of Vilita!!!!

We're in (hopefully)

There are 206 Nations that enter the Real World Cup, I don't see why we can't have 100.... Hopefully Crystilakere can enter too!

@Vilita: You signed up in the wrong thread. Now Lemmy will include you in his list.

@Crystilakere: There are enough spaces.

@West Gaddland: Gaddland participated in the last WC, are you its puppet?

@other viewers: sign up if you're interested! You've got nothing to lose (well, except 20 matches in the qualifiers ;) )

Twenty matches? We lose enough qualifying matches already. :P

BTW, congrats to Rejis and CS on winning the hosting bid. :)

Sorry, 18 matches in the qualifiers :oops: I was extreme-multitasking when I wrote this.

Gleam Street will play in their first World Cup.

Note: puppet of Cockbill Street.

.... Congrats to the winning host

And if you can't get any more nations, The Sultanate of Raptor Claw would be more than happy to be included :D

Good to see you participate, Raptor Claw!

As a nation commited to sporting greatness, Hawcoat would like to claim one of the last remaining places in the World Cup.

Just watch out for our notoriously boggy pitches in the qualifying rounds!

My nation would like to participate. But how? Give me details please!
