I'm gonna try this new system out.

U21WC8 will start between WC18F and WC19Q
U21WC9 will start between WC19Q and WC19F
U21WC10 will start between WC19F and WC20Q

[29/32]

The young Druida Rainbows side, from now on referred to as the Spectrums, will be changing their style to DEF because last time they sucked.

In an effort to tighten a defense that has been leaky at times, the Sarzonian Under 21 national team under Coach Terry Mangione will shift to a NOR style.

Lovisa ,NOR
and my puppet Finrods,DEF

TEN is also shifting to a NOR style.

So I'm all set then? Can Turori get on the waiting list NOR?

The LAFC is glad to start up a u21 team, under the management of Michael Wright. This team will be of the DEF style.

Somalialand herby wishes to be part of the U21 cup this year and we shall come in with a roar

our roaster and statics will posted later or tomorrow

Att

We'd like to confirm our sign-up, and we'd like to play Attacking. Otherwise we can't beat Rejis. ;)

You need to post a formation,
All-Out Defense (not sure if there still is this)
Defensive
Normal
Attacking
Kamikaze (All-Out Attack)

The RFA have announced that after the success in World Cup 17 using a youth squad brought up in D2R and D2R only, with not much competetive experience. The attacking-styled team would like to place a sign-up in the U21WC7. Thanks.

Team FMJPhoenix - ATT

Iam not going to post formation and the team yet, nut i will post the style

DEF

Hmm...after our performance last time, I think I'd be nuts to change the style...so we'll keep our NOR, thanks. ;)

The Allied States will finally open their U21 team to outside competition for the first time.

The style they will use will be NOR

For the first time, Sanctaphrax international U21 side will compete in the world cup under their manager, Vilnix Pompolnius. He is a tough manager and they have been training very hard for this moment. They are determined to break onto the international scene respectably and will be playing defensively.

Sorry for missing out on the last one, Again to sign up, Defensive and with my puppet Oceaice as Kamakazie Attack

Updated. 31/32 [17 RPers, 10 newbs, 4 puppets]

Can Raptor Claw too? ATT

Updated. 31/32 [17 RPers, 10 newbs, 4 puppets]
uh what am I exactly? I'm not a newb because i've been here since July but on the other hand this is my first thread of this sort. (in Nationstates forum as opposed to II)

Its not about ho wnew you are, are you new to the tournement

if you are then you are considerred a newbeeee and if you are, if you played on this tournement ever before then you are a rper as it states

Woah, the expert's talking!

Anyway, just to confirm that we are to play in the NOR style of play. Wouldn't it be truly coincidental if we were put in the same group as Somalialand for this tournament too...not that it will happen ;)

RPers, RPed last cup.
newb, means you either didn't RP last cup or weren't in it.
puppet, well i'll let you guess this one.

Thank you, so will I get a TG when it starts or will I have to watch this space?

Sign us up with NOR please.

Well this'll be starting after World Cup Qualifying ends, so if you are keeping tabs on that you should be okay. Also you get TGed your results if you make it past the group stage.

I think the changes I've made have made the formula a little bit too random, gonna see about tighting that up and fixing DEF which has gone a bit crazy.

What's this all about?

Ten sims, with the top 4 places recorded from each sim.

Please I just want to know if we are on the right page,

SIM meaning SIMULATION or does it MEAN something else

Thanks
somalialand

Yes, a sim is a simulation of the tournament.

I cannot help but notice that there already appear to have been some matches played. When is our turn?

NO matches yet, I think you are getting little confused, I think he said the matches and the Rping starts after the World qualifier

Which is now going on in the Wc18 thread

No, it MEANS the word SIMULATION as in NOT the REAL thing just a SIMULATION of the REAL thing.

If you cannot understand it, look at it as a makeshift odds chart. If you went to a casino, and placed a bet on the U21 World Cup, they would probably tell you that the team atop the SIM chart has one of the best chances of performing well, while the teams closer to the bottom have less of a chance of winning matches.

Correct. Matches don't start till after World Cup 18 Qualifying has finished in the lull between WC18Q and the WC18 Finals. Although the exactly date isn't in stone as I'm flying to America soonish.

The 10Sim are 10 sims of all 64 matches played in the U21WC. A total of 640 simmed matches. The draw is randomised each time, the top 4 in each sim is recorded, then the results are tallied to give a general feeling of what will happen. Allowing me to alter the formula so it isn't too random or is more random if Rejis wins 9/10 :D Checking how well n00bs do, etc. Also "statwankers" like looking at the pretty numbers.

Removing AOA and AOD was probably a bad move. I'm thinking of bringing them back and keeping KAM. Or I may make a radical system that involves spending points on attack and defence. Although that would require a lot of work, for which I have no time, and probably be unpopular as it would involve thinking :D

hola, alas, i'd like to change my style to NOR

Kamikaze screwed me last time :)

I seem to have shifted everyone from ATT to NOR instead of widening the choice. Although KAM looks promising enough that I might just change to it.

I dont get this

AOD=
AOA=

what do they mean

In other words what do they stand for

[OOC: AOD = All Out Defense (basically, ten men behind the ball); AOA = All Out Attack.

I'm not sure what the difference between AOA and KAM would be. Sounds like two different names for the same style of play to me.]

AOA and KAM are completely different. AOA is like the other styles ATT, NOR, DEF and AOD a fixed defence. Meaning the number is the same each sim. Whereas KAM is a variable defence (it has a random number taken away from the defence)

Are you still accepting sign-ups?

If so 7JM Sign-up under the Team Name 6JM and choose a DEF style

Yep, still 3 places left to new nations and 6 WC MDs to go.

Hiiraan would like to sign up for this cup


[Iam just informing that iam not a Newbie because i woned the former somalialand and yeah When you write hiiraan dont forget thet its a double a and I, some people have diffuclty adjusting to it.]

This is the under 21 not WC, Somalialand has never been in u21 before, and Hiiraan, you cannot continue from where Somalialand left off. Just assume this is a new nation. Signups for this cup are closed.

too bad then, If you ever find an inactive nation or recently dead nation, Iam ready to go in th tournement,

I'm sure TnUI will infrom you if he finds any.

Invalid due to old styles.

Just confirming our participation.

God bless

Hi,

I have being going arounf NS today and to my surpirse I have found 2 nations, they were no where to be seen and if you want me to, i can replace one of them so that you as the host will have something to grade and give points to.

Esth
and
Crystilakere

Those are 2 nations are properly dead as I assume bcause i cant find them, in NS.

Iam asking you if are flexiblke enough to make last changes, if you can, we are equipped and ready if oyu want to replace either of those 2 teams

I'm not too sure if it's the best idea openly advertising that you were the former Somalialand. Somalialand wasn't too popular around here and I'd just try to get a fresh start.

I had enough of that in the WCC DT

Please, i am done discussion those stuff, so please forgot about what iam playing and lets all focus on the future ok, thank you for your patience and hearing

[ooc:it seems like everyone wants me to be what iam, i have started out fresh while not being seen as a newbiee, is that good for you.

Yeah, my nation is at O ranking but it will soon reach at the maximum point, but i hate to re-introduce myself again so my former plan was to be known not as a newwbiee and i succeded in that, thank you.]

Once again, I repeat: it is NOT your job to find ex-nations, that is mine. However, I can assure you that Esth is still alive, Crys as well. IT is probably just your browser.

BTW: With reference to bolded part, I am in contact with my fellow committee members on your request.

Thanks, and yeah sorry to confuse mtself, I just could not find them in NS

So let me get this straight. If I'm roaming around on NS one day and I find an ex-nation, I can't report it because I'm not on the Communications Committee? I was unaware of that, but thanks for letting us know. I wouldn't want to violate any rules here.
