SN38 & RM World Cup 13 Hosting Bid Information

The Snub Nose 38 and Runaway Moose bid to co-host World Cup 13 is withdrawn without prejudice.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

Runaway Moose would like to accept Snub Nose 38's offer, and reconfirm our bid to bring the cup to the Asteroid. Thank you

OOC: You steal 38 Special from WW and every other venue from www.worldstadiums.com. Not a good omen.

Seriously, looks pretty good - I wanted to create a similar thread in the WC12 hosting campaign trail but didn't. Not that it cost me and Lemmy the vote... ;)

For nations competing in World Cup 13, one benefit of the SN38/ RM bid is that travel days would be more relaxing and involve less travel. There are several easy ways to get across the border from RM to SN38. Monarch's Cove, pictured below (view from RM to SN 38 across Lake Wally), hosts a ferry port, and there are currently Lake Wally crossings every 4 hours.

There is currently a monorail under construction, which would run through all major cities between the Capitals, Antleropolis and Sten.

Teams wishing to take buses or trains may do so from any major city throughout Runaway Moose. There are also airports in Antleropolis, Alcesia and Bell City, with connecting trains to Balla Alces and Alcenbourg from Antleropolis and Bell City.
