World Cup 33 Introduction:

For more information on the World Cup, its History, how it works, who runs it, and the competitions related to it, check out the World Cup Wiki Site (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/World_Cup).

The NSWC is a tournament for any NS nation who signs up. This World Cup is about to start its 33rd competition, and your nation can take part! Every team is given a rank based on their performances in previous Cups, and the starting rank is roughly 200 (the Current 'best team in the world' is Squornshelous, with a rank of 1) See: KPB Rankings (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/KPB_ranking_system)

Scores are generated using either a Java program or through various or MS Excel sheet 'scorinators' which use random numbers, weighted by ranking and RP bonus to produce the scores.

It is encouraged for Nations to RP - roleplay - their matches, team rosters, players and such. Good RPs will help raise your chance of winning (especially in the Baptism of Fire and Colony Cup). Please note: A lot of RPs does not guarantee goals or wins, but your chances are improved or this happening. i.e. Two debutant, Rank 200, nations play each other. One has RP'd a few times, the other has not. The nation who has participated should have the better probability of victory, but still has a chance of a Win, Loss or Draw.

RPs can be Team Roster announcements, fan comments, press conferences, media stories, anything about the game, as long as you've kept to the score as posted or TGd to you by the host/scorer.

For any other questions you may have, please see the World Cup FAQs article on NSwiki. (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/World_Cup_FAQs) - Courtesy of Starblaydia


The longest-running sports-competition in NationStates reaches its milestone Thirty-third tournament: the Football (Soccer) World Cup. Please do specify if you have not participated before.


If your nation is new to the World Cup, you will be able to take part in the preliminary Baptism of Fire Cup (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Baptism_of_Fire) competition.
If this is your first Cup, please indicate whether you wish to be registered for the Baptism of Fire or not.


Puppets have to post with their nation and identify their master. One Puppet per Master nation, and you may only enter a puppet once you have already competed in a World Cup'

Tynelia will again continue its fine tradition of generally being close to qualifying but never really having a realistic shot at it come the final matchday to decisively seize the title of the next Hypocria from those pretenders from Wentland and The Lowland Clans and anyone else claiming my title

Alright, alright, stop pulling my arm, I'll sign up already. Jeez.

Oliverry will do as usual: Sign-up, not RP until the semi-finals, then will RP and lose.

*sigh*...time for another go...

Cafundéu will sign-up too.

Just a question: can I sign-up a puppet? I'm playing the World Cup 32 qualifiers(my first one), so I didn't qualify to the World Cup itself.

We are ready for our fourth attempt at the NS World Cup. :D

me and Bushes Been Quaked (confirming later)

Errinundera

New Propagandia will sign up. Hopefully we will have the rank to make a better go at qualifying next time.

The HURD and its puppet Rejistania sign up!

confirming puppet entry!

Geisenfried signs up once again.

Hmmm... This looks like it could prove to be fun. Schiavonia would like to enter. What do we have to do?

Qazox will try again in its quest to become the world power of football.

Qazox' puppet Sativaville will once again sign-up knowing fully that it will never ever compete in the World cup.. probably.

Sure, why not.

Dazza says "Just do it", and we are.

Delesa is in.

Bartonstein will be in it for the first time.

Squornshelous signs up for it's 29th World Cup.

Capitalizt SLANI signs up for its 27th World Cup, and is thus clearly inferior to Squornshelous. :p

Capitalizt SLANI signs up for its 27th World Cup, and is thus clearly inferior to Squornshelous. :p

자스연 (Jasīʼyūn) signs up for its 4th World Cup, which makes it a slani n00b puppet like The HU^H^H^H^H^H^HRejistania.

Fort Europe will play again.

Hope we'll have more chance in WC 33!

Sign up the former new Hypocrians :P

Assegai Developments and newcomer Turruth Gordur (official confirmation later) are signing up...

After a lot of pestering from Misterson, King John Fishhook has finally allowed Collonie back into international sports, therefore...

Collonie sign up for the 33rd World Cup.

After major computer issues, I am ready to bring Magnus Valerius back in the game. :p

LE are back. I'm considering making this the last cup that I enter, but we'll have to see about that.

The Bostopian FA would like to enter it's National Team into the 33rd World Cup.

What the hell, sign me up. I'd hate to miss LE's last Cup.

From the desk of Gorgol "The Butcher" Harad:

To all you maggots, Turruth Gordur is entering the tournament. We will rip off your hides, bathe in your blood and decorate our rooms with your skins.

I might not be on the first page, unfortunately, but I'm signing up anyway.

Well, folks, it's been a while. Squornshelous, #1 in the world...I remember the first World Cup he played in.

Not to sound like an old grandpa or anything, but I am expecting to have a lot of fun doing this one more time.

Thus, then, I have just received this communique which I indorse to the party properly responsible.





Hear and Heed! Let it be Told!

We, the General Parliament of The Thrice-Reunited Bohemian Republics of the Fourteenth River (Serenissima) Namely, Quorellica-Van Uverstostragaph, Rostocher Schweilenbourg, Telavorestistevoreilboh, and Schorteskatascansolania, Subject To and Under the Authority of God and the Regent Queen Theophano XII, Whom God Preserve (henceforth referred to by the abbreviated name Schorteskatascansolani) have received a report from the Eighteenth Subcommittee of the Third Subcommission to the Ministry of Public Health, Amusement, Railroads, and Disportation. This esteemed Subcommittee was set up seven months and three days ago to consider the prospect of forming a national team of Futbal players and sending them to the international competition known as the World Cup. This Subcommittee has the esteemed and honoured and long name of the Eighteenth Subcommittee to the Third Subcommission of Public Amusement and Disportation, In Charge of Matters Relating to the World Cup. We shall refer to it as the ESTSPAD ICMRWC. This said Subcommittee did recommend to our discretion that a national squad be formed, and the question of which players to be placed thereon be referred to the Council of Ancients. We duly passed the recommendation which was given to us, and referred it to the General Assembly.

(Signed) The Right Honourable Sixth Enquostidien of the Court In Charge of Public Disclosures, Billy-Bob Friedman.

We, the General Assembly of the Schorteskatascansolanian Church Of the Righteous Theos (SCHORT), did meditate upon the document which was referred to us in prayerful consideration. After eight days deliberation and much reference to our Bibles and copies of Calvin's Institutes, and finding nothing therein contrary to the law of God, but rather finding it to be well pleasing if the players refrain from playing on the Sabbath. We did therefore send the document with our blessing to the consideration of the Council of Ancients.

(Signed) The Moderator of the Court, the Reverend Roderick Bruce Williamophonus of Jarn-stong-sprinky-stone-upon-Quail-of-Barbecue.

We, the Council of Ancients, did consider the document sent us, and, finding it all in order, we forwarded it to the Regent Queen Theophano XII, Whom God Preserve. We did also accept the responsibility given us by the General Parliament.

(Signed) The Ancient of Ancients
121

I, the Regent Queen, do hereby signify and seal my approval of the entire and complete document and proposal given me. This is done in the presence of the Minister of Public Health, Amusement, Railroads, and Disportation, as well as the Official Guy In Charge of Making People's Titles Longer, and seven others. Let this order therefore go forth in my name and under my seal, and let God prosper the work of it.

THEOPHANO




If you didn't quite get the picture, or if rather you are http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif, I'm signing up for the World Cup. And, this is my first time participating, so I would be honoured to be active within the Baptism of Fire Cup. I have no puppets.

Many thanks, gentlemen!

W

Zwangzug is honored to enter its first World Cup and Baptism of Fire.

Estresse Intenso would like to play its first WC, and the Baptism of Fire competition.

This country is also the puppet of Cafundéu.

I've just got back from a week without Internet, so it may take me a while to get back into the swing of things... but in the meantime, of course:

Ariddia signs up.

Altanar is signing up. We've never done a World Cup before, but hopefully we can make a good show of ourselves.

Bazalonia signs up.... Though I have decided that no puppets will... I just want to concentrate on Bazalonia for now

Houersteinzer will participate in the World Cup and the Baptism of Fire since we are noobs and it's our first World Cup

Yo. Bettia are in, as always.

And, just for a laugh...

Bettia's puppets are in. We would also like to enter the BofF, if there are any spots going.

East Lithuania would love to get back into the WC action again

Cuation would like to keep playing

Signing up for the first time and yes to baptism in fire

Please count the people of Etres Vrais in. This will be our first cup. Please do enter us into the Baptism of Fire.

Nedalia is in.

Fmjphoenix enters again and threatens to RP this time :D

(oh wait, this isnt the cherry cup :D)

Well due to some RL stuff, I couldn't do what i'd wanted to in WC32, but for XXXIII, I'll be back and try to do something.

We're in.

We're interested

The Holy Empire signs up.

And since I won't be on holiday in the USA, I should be able to RP this next time.

The Archregimancy - puppet of Alasdair I Frosticus - is back too.

See above for sincere hope of increased RP in WC 33

We would like to enter. Quintessence of Dust has not been in a World Cup before. In the interests of full disclosure, Gruenberg - of whom Quod is a puppet - has been in a WC before (26?) but is not entering this one.

Bazalonia and Myslef will host the BoF if that is okay Star.

Bazalonia and Myslef will host the BoF if that is okay Star.

Aye, this post is just to say....


SUPERCALEFRAGILISTICEXPALIDOCIOUS

OK, The Great Monty Python is in again. Let's hope we can do better than last time.

NMS will return, and will RP this time 'round.

Sign-ups updated to New Montreal States. 66 nations signed up, of which 10 are puppets and 11 eligible for the Baptism of Fire, which will be hosted by Bazalonia and Quakmybush.

Quintessence of Dust is eligible (and therefore entered) for the Baptism of Fire as it has not competed in a World Cup before, regardless of whether Gruenberg has previously. And as Gruenberg is not in the World Cup Quod is considered a full nation, not a puppet.

Quintessence of Dust is eligible (and therefore entered) for the Baptism of Fire as it has not competed in a World Cup before, regardless of whether Gruenberg has previously. And as Gruenberg is not in the World Cup Quod is considered a full nation, not a puppet.

Tis true, but someone had to stay behind and look after the fish.

Baptism of Fire sign ups are now closed

Sign-ups updated to Kingsford (yey), 87 nations signed up, the Host Vote is now open and the Baptism of Fire has now closed its sign-ups. Thankyou.

You couldn't leave it open for one more participant could you? 88 is a MUCH BETTER number than 87 for making groups.

I believe that only the Baptism of Fire signups are closed, not the overall cup.

You didn't read my post before writing that, did you? It doesn't happen to say 'World Cup 33 Sign-ups are closed' anywhere because no hosts have been selected to actually decide on group formats yet. Well played.

Tynelia will again continue its fine tradition of generally being close to qualifying but never really having a realistic shot at it come the final matchday to decisively seize the title of the next Hypocria from those pretenders from Wentland and The Lowland Clans and anyone else claiming my title

Sativaville is now like tied for 2nd on the Hypocria list, with green Wombat

Satiaville is not on the list anywhere. To be on the list a nation has to make a viable push to qualify. Satiaville definitely isn't and neither is Green Wombat. My ranking would be:

2. ESF
3. Ropa-Topia

Sativaville has in the last 3 cups finished a total of 7 points out of a berth and has been either 4th or 5th in its group in the last 4.

Also Bushes Been Quaked is back in the cup as there was a confusion about numbers and Spaam didn't get removed from the originally given count. As Bushes Been Quaked was dropped by Quakmybush only to make numbers it has been added back to the cup.
