Sign up here for the next installment of the Cherry Cup.

Hosting bids also welcome.

Starblaydia's Razyors will be there yet again for their eighth Cherry Cup campaign.

And I'm shocked that Coach Haztarr isn't in your poll.

Corneliu Penquins shall exact revenge for the cheating that took place in the last Cherry Cup.

Prepare to get killed. No one shall be spared.

Harlesburg Blades SCORESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harlesburg is in!

FLP are back in.

We would provide a threat, but people are still fearing the grumble, so it must be effective. Prepare for more of it.

Even if Corneliu shall still hold a grudge due to their team...not performing to expectations, Chicanada will be attending Cherry Cup XII and looks foreward to all the bids for the next cup.

And her name is Jaquee (last name? Moriseete). And you forgot Sister Hale Maria*, coach of Tanah Burung!

*ok, I kept getting her name wrong and Tanah never tells me? I feel so sad :'(

Sister Hale Maria would never take part in such a poll. However, she will cast a write-in vote for Coach Haztarr, if he promises to wear a Burungi-made evening gown for the talent parade.

Oh, and the Cassowaries sign up again. As for threats, i think the above bit about Coach Haztarr is threat enough for anyone. *shudders*

Hockey Canada is back in. Dave Semenko is happy and confused about being in the poll. Not much when your IQ is lower than your jersey number.

We sign up again...and this time we want to get past the second round!!!!!

"Oh we hold a grudge alright!" Shouted the viceroy. "If we face Chicanada, they'll pay a heavy price for their insolence to the rules of hockey."

Hockey Canada bids to host too.

Lovisa sign up

Chicanada responds to threat by Corneliu with utter indifference, mostly because our team can suck on their own.

Yes, hosting a tourney where everything and nothing happens gets tiresome in a hurry :-p

We don't care if your hosting the olympics. The other team clearly cheated and the damn goal stood. That is against all ethical standards.

Formal Dances will sign up again.

The Euroslavia Phantoms will participate again.

Battle it out in RP

Besides it's better that way

OOC: Yahoo name: canuck_babi
MSN: go_cows_go@hotmail.com

The Ice Comets will Sign up again

Of course the Robotopolis Synthos sign up for their 4th Cherry Cup.

Lesse, good threat...Well, aside from threatening to participatge more next time, the entire Synthos team threaten to perform one large sycronized dancing of The Robot at the awards ceremony if they win.

The Krytenia Aces return for thir third Don Cherry Cup appearance.

Hey, maybe we'll win a game this time...

Ice Terminators are back with a threat to finally win this baby.

The Iansisle Gulls sign up again (of course), with the threat of an Iansislean-hosted Cherry Cup unless someone else steps forward. :P

Pablicosta Pheonix would like to take part.

The Druida Ligtning would like to sign up again, if only to add to the air miles of their pair of followers.

And, in keeping with the recent tradition of making threats, Druida threaten to find a third fan for this tournament to try to help them past the first stage.

Another one already?!?!?

Hell yeah, sign me up!

The Inbreedia National Hockey Team (known as the Grey Ghosts) will once again show that genetically haphazardous breeding doesn't have to limit one's options in sports.

Sign up the Vilita Ice Cats

The Iansisle Gulls sign up again (of course), with the threat of an Iansislean-hosted Cherry Cup unless someone else steps forward. :P

We're gonna host this one!


PWEASE? :p

What they hay, Fmjphoenix Blades for a third time. I might remember more than a roster this time too!

Oliverry will enter in the 12th CC and would like to bid to host this cup(without doing the same mistakes as last time)

FWIW, I'll back any non-HC run bid.

For absolutely no worth whatsoever, but as a reminder, I'll back whichever bid looks like being the most fun.

Sign us up again...WHHEEE

Otto Matic, Director of Operations for the Very Angry Rabbits own Artic Hares, sends in an application to participate in Cherry Cup XII.

Specific Threat/Warning Details
Tanah Burung - Threat to vote for Coach Haztarr as “Fairest of Them All”

"Y'arr, I be blushin'," Haztarr said, "Now be off wi'ye, ye great poofy bastids."

The Rayzors (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Rayzors) also threaten to give one of their Dwarves an Elmer Fudd accent and go "wabbit huntin"

OOC Question for PABLICOSTA

Because sometimes we just commit typographical errors, but sometimes we spell things differently on purpose...I've listed the Pablicostan team as the "Phoenix" (which is how it's properly spelled). But, it's really up to you - is the Pablicostan team the "Pheonix", or the "Phoenix"?

to VAR:
Oliverry will enter in the 12th CC and would like to bid to host this cup(without doing the same mistakes as last time)

The Maple Syrups of Cognative superios are interested and intrigued by the opportunity to throw their hats into the ring when it comes to Hockey!!!

Declarative Confirmation & Threat for the Future:

A > B


If you've been around a while and read my RP's you might know what it means, but alas, it still holds true and Cherry Cup 12 will be no different!!!!!

We threaten to have Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake sing at the hosting ceremonies if we win. (Oh the horror!)

AND...

We threaten to raise foreign health care so teams can't heal injured players! HA HA HA!!!

We threaten to raise foreign health care so teams can't heal injured players! HA HA HA!!!


We threaten to send the Antiparticulates (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Antiparticulate) into your country to disrupt the political system and provent foreign health care from being raised!

We threaten to raise foreign health care so teams can't heal injured players! HA HA HA!!!

We threaten to bring in lawyers if you try to raise Foreign Health Care.

Oh yes: we threaten to kill the world population of any mammal with four legs (excluding the armadillo and the tapir) unless we get past the second round of the tournament (the second round being deemed the round after the group stage that South Osettia manages to get into. For example, in CCXXI, the Third Round, the round SO progressed to after the Group Stage, would count as the second round)

The Republic of Kericia sent me this email -

"Cherry Cup XI and I want to be in the next one, but my computer's all messed up and I have to use a different one. I can log in to Nationstates, but not the forum, so I can't post, and can't signup for CCXII. It should be fixed sometime soon, but the signups might end before I can log in again. So can I sign up here, or am I screwed til my computer works again? -Kericia'

and I've added them to the list.

KERICIA - Please post confirmation once you can get to the forum

We threaten to bring in lawyers if you try to raise Foreign Health Care.

Lionel Hutz would be running away screaming if he lived in Hockey Canada

Chicanada, feeling left out, has made a formal threat:

Chicanada threatens to bring Jaquee Moriseete along as a good luck charm.

Of course, it will be double good luck if we end up in the same group as Tanah Burung (Jaquee and Sister Hale Maria can be all polite and "not drunk" together) or VAR (considering her crazy hijinks never went anywhere due to all the other scandalous things happening during CCXI...she still wants a vewwy angwy and yet cuddable wabbit)

BAH! Y'ALL'S AMATEURS!

We's here threaten ta outdrink tha whole lotta-ya!

(Considerin' we' brew thee strongest corn based alkehol product this side o' tha Mason-Dixon line, it shouldn't be that hard.)

Amateurs. When you've been in as many Cherry Cups as I have, you learn to realise that at drinking, Dwarves = teh winner.

Inuits, Gulls and Burungi can surely back me up on this :D

But there's nothing more fun than a conga line of drunken rabbits...;)

But there's nothing more fun than a conga line of drunken rabbits...;)

Now here's a nighthare I mean nightmare.

Jaquee, hung over from the recent CCXI Directorship party, ponders just who was that massive conga line she hung out with nights before. Of course, seeing birds, kangaroos and humans with big ears was a sight.

Anyways, Jaquee made sure everyone in the CCXII thread knew the results of the Cherry Cup XI Grand Finals (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=8646403#post8646403)

For those not in the know, A = Vilita and B = Starblaydia.

When Vilita realises he's beaten me or is better than me at something in sports, A > B.

Of course, he never mentions this when I beat him ;)

OK, so we got zilch chance of defeating Starblaydia...

Oh well.

OI! VILITA! OUTSIDE, NOW!

The Squornshelous Ferrets will join in again, and we are very offended that Squornshelan Defensemen/Goons Krog Dugsk and Wet Biscuit MacGlee are not on your poll. Bad things happen when Krog and Wet Biscuit are offended.

Do they win?

Do they win?

Quite often, it's easy to win when the opposing team is in the team infirmary.

We Threatin to Warn People
:p

Squornshelous threatens to throw toast at opposing teams.

We also threaten to teach our ferrets to walk on two legs.

Squornshelous threatens to throw toast at opposing teams.


Vilita threatens to eat the toast, should Squornshelous throw it.


Damn, i want toast!

Hockey Canada threatens to throw jam at the toast.

Oliverry threatens to invade any country that will not vote for his bid :D

Oliverry threatens to invade any country that will not vote for his bid :D

We won't vote for you. Good luck. We have made an alliance to ensure you won't succeed.

I mean those who can vote, which are Chicanada, Tanah Burung and Kalaallit Nunaat

We threaten to those who vote for us that we'll give them an unnecessary amount of money, hotels, power, and women (maybe men if some of you swing that way) :D

I suppose I should probably enumerate the conditions of my bid at some point. And, considering how crazy this weekend has been and this week promises to be, that time might as well be now.

Should the Cherry Cup Council, in all its wisdom, see fit to elect my bid as host they'll find CCXII run a lot like CCVIII was. Irrelevant award ceremonies at the mid-break and end, SPORTSBLURB! updates every game-day, groups slapped together depending on how many participants there are, a stout refusal to do any math not handled by a pre-established spreadsheet, and games scorinated on a roughly 'whenever I feel like it' basis (read: every two days, to give everyone enough time to post) will be staples of the Cup. Oh, and I rather liked the last couple Cherry Cups with the small, intense divisions, so there may be something of that too. Ties will result in a shootout (no OT) as per IanHockey rules. Same rankings as posted by Chicanada, and I'll also rip off his rules in case of point ties.

Oh, and I promise - should Iansisle win the bid, we'll remind Starblaydia constantly that, though they were the first to win two Cherry Cups, we were the first to host two of the things. And we'll probably add a "...you great drunken midgets!" to the end.

OOOOhhhhh, you'll have hosted two, we feel so humble in the presence of your riot-filled streets when nations have won/lost big games :p

*throws his support behind the Iansisle bid. It worked last time for Chincadia, why wouldn't it work now?*

Here's my bid:

-There will be 7 groups of 4 teams each
-Each team will play twice against each other team in his group
-The first of Each group goes to the Next Round
-The second of each group goes to a relegation phase to know which teams will become the 8th team to participate to the quarterfinal
-After, well, you know what will happen

I will scorinate this with leagion
There will be draw matches in group matches
In the playoffs, there will be an overtime followed by a shootout phase if still draw
And I assure everybody: I will not sim my own games in the playoffs as last time

I'm using the exact same bid I used for CC11. If only i could find it...

To: Hockey Canada

Well, make sure you look under every rock when you're looking for it.

ROCK

Actually, I think that in CCXI we could try to use an olympic format. The bottom 8 or 6 teams entered would play a round robin to get into the round robin (for the top whatever teams). Then each team plays each team in their conference before moving onto the relegation round to see who goes to the finals.

Just a suggestion.and…
My bid was that we have 30 teams play.

Each team is ranked.

1. Kallait Nunnat (can't spell it)
2. Starblaydia
3. Robotopolis
4. FLP
etc;

And the rank that they have they are given the rank of a team in the NHL that ESPN NHL 2K5 has given.

1. Tampa Bay- Kallait Nunaat
2. Calgary- Starblaydia
3. Robotpolis- San Jose
4. FLP- whoever was in the eastern finals against Tampa.

The games would be simulated by the actual game.
Example:

Tampa Bay- 3
San Jose- 2

Would be:

Kallait Nunaat- 3
Robotopolis- 2

I call this the HC scorination system.and…
Hockey Canada's Unofficial Bid for CCX:

3 weeks

12-30 teams

12 teams- 2 conferences of 6, top 4 in each conference go through
14 teams- 2 conferences of 7, top 4 in each conference go through
16 teams- 4 divisions of 4, top 2 in each division go through
18 teams- 2 conferences of 9, top 4 in each conference go through

(all above will play a one game elimination in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals to determine the winner)

20 teams- 4 divisions of 5, top 2 in each division go through
22 teams- 2 divisions of 5 and 2 divisions of 6, top 2 in each division go through
24 teams- 6 divisions of 4, top team in each division will go through and 2 wild cards with the most points will go through
26 teams- 4 divisions of 4 and 2 divisions of 5, top team in each division will advance and the 2nd place team in each division of 5 will go through
28 teams- 4 divisions of 7, top 2 in each division will go through
30 teams- 5 divisions of 6 top team in each division and 3 wild cards with the most points advance

(all above will play a one game elimination in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals and finals, a 3-game series will be played to determine a winner)

-The second of each group goes to a relegation phase to know which teams will become the 8th team to participate to the quarterfinal

I mean, come on, this is a series of make believe games inside another game, all for fun. But, I know some folks get weird about hosts coming up with their own results. Appreciate that you're taking that into account. :)

And...OOC for all...

VAR has some RL stuff going on that prevents a bid to host CC XII. Will have time to participate, but not run it.

However, down the road...these cwazy wabbits just might hop on board with a hosting bid for a future CC.

"Duck Season!

Wabbit Season!

BANG!!

"O" - I don't see what the big deal is about the host running results for games they are involved in.

We all get an inside-happy-glow when we check our results and find a win waiting for us The thing is, the person in control of those results can easily give themselves that happy-glow by inventing their own result, chaning their score as-generated or simply scoring until they win. Plus, with the way the Cherry Cup works, it also sets them up as the best team for the next installment.

Having someone else do it in the later, more-critical stages (particularly in the final) just makes it fairer and also more-exciting for the host if they've got that far.

Oliverry came in for criticism in CC9 by beating the defending champion (namely me ;) ) 4-0 in the knockout-stages after I'd beaten him 11-1 in the Group stage. He then beat Vilita, who up until then was the best team in the competion with no regular-time losses (iirc), then went on to win the final.

And yes, one could look (and some did) at that suspiciously.

I guess my point is two-fold. One - it's only a game. Two - if the host wins because they cheat - well, you and I will never know - but he/she will, and they will know it really didn't count.

Whatever - if it makes some of us happy to have someone else run the results for the host, then ok, we do it that way.

Well, personally I can't wait to get some hockey action. When are we starting the next Cherry Cup?

VAR, we'll be waiting for a few days until the actual RP even starts. Tone it down and wait like the rest of us (in the void).

Hockey Canada:

First - I still haven't seen a host selection announced.

Second - I am waiting like the rest of us.

Third - Regarding your suggestion that I tone it down. I considered it. Then I discarded it.

note - this post ("third") is intended to be a little funny. so is the one that says "Hint Hint" in huge letters.

I would love to vote but I haven't a clue where I vote or if I tg/pm Kalaalit or what. I don't have IRC so that could be why i am so sadly lost :'(

Normally, KN should have TG'ed you about this

That mean we find out TONIGHT?

Gets excited.

I'd just send your PM to KN. That's how I always worked it. :)

(...unless, of course, you didn't vote for me. In that case, you should send your vote to me and I'll, uh, forward it to KN. Yeah.)

Iansisle is harder to write... save your time and energy by selecting HC. :D


OOC: Sorry Iansisle, but I want to host one thing before i go to university.

Anyway, Iansisle, you or mewill not be the first one to host 2 cups(since only us 2 has a chance to host it. sorry HC): KN hosted the 2 firsts editions

There is a time for a change... HC should bring in a system that will make scorinating easier. (tried doing 30 teams for 30 games, it was easy and great. Robotpolis would have won from what i scorinated with my system BTW).

First off, it's Robotopolis. Note the middle O.

Second, How did you come to that conclusion? Did you actually play out the entire thing on ESPN NHL 2K5, even though you weren't selected as host?

Kudos, though, on your Love Of Nationstates post.

Well, we're in a bit of a pickle, folks...

Kalaallit Nunaat has been inactive for 8 days.

Tanah Burung has been inactive for 3 days.

Anybody got any ideas?

Riot?

I propose that every hosts of the Cherry cup, excepted me and Iansisle, vote for a host bid. Then, if KN logs in, he can validate the final results or do like to choose last cups' hosts

Riot?

I'm almost ok with that ;)

But I like Oliverry's suggestion as well. What do the other former hosts that might still be active think?

Being one of the few active former hosts (off the top of my head, Squonshelous is the only other one I can think of who's "active"....), I support Oliverry's idea.

And here's something official from the LEIHB (LE Ice Hockey Bureau): We're supporting Iansisle's bid, but might lean towards Oliverry.

is ANYONE for my bid? Just please let me know.

is ANYONE for my bid? Just please let me know.

If I could vote, I would vote no! LOL!!

BTW: You lost in the BoF! :D

Well, we're in a bit of a pickle, folks...

Kalaallit Nunaat has been inactive for 8 days.

Tanah Burung has been inactive for 3 days.

Anybody got any ideas?Just checked - Both KN and TB have been active on Nationstates within the past hour.

So - I guess we just wait patiently some more...;)

KN has just asked me for a vote, so presume will have an answer soon.

Inebriated conga line of Very Happy Rabbits dances madly about

;)

I propose that every hosts of the Cherry cup, excepted me and Iansisle, vote for a host bid. Then, if KN logs in, he can validate the final results or do like to choose last cups' hosts

That seems fine to me. But rioting might be fun too.

EDIT: Never mind, I just read the last post by TB.

We threatin To Similtaniously Break dance after every Goal :p :D :p :D :p :D

1. the queen decrees death for computer thieves.

2. the queen is pleased to announce that the next cherry cup will be hosted by her renegade colony of IANSISLE, and commands that province to submit to her will at once.

3. the queen threatens to laugh derisively at all other teams.

4. there is no number 4. rejoice!

It worked again! I'm the greatest!

Congrats, Iansisle!

Oh, joy and celebration! Thanks to all of those who voted for humble me! Consolations to Hockey Canada and Oliverry, and may your bids win next time :).

I'm heading out right now, but there should be a post appearing within the next six hours or so. I'll link to it from here.
