World Cup 35 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 35th 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). Please note: A lot of RPs does not guarantee goals or wins, but your chances are improved of this happening. i.e. Two debutant, non-ranked, 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-fifth 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'

Sel Appa signs up to win the 35th World Cup...or at least try.

Quak attack

*signs*

Kiryu-shi

Qazox will try once again to join Liverpool England as the only teams to win the World Cup and the Women's World Cup.. (Az-cz... no bitching about the WWC.... lol).

St Samuel and the puppet nation Abu Omar would like to sign up.

Rejistania confirms the puppet entry

St Samuel and the puppet nation Abu Omar would like to sign up.

Could you please post with Abu Omar to confirm puppet status, and if you'd like Abu Omar to be in the BoF.

If you having problems with the forum account while you try to get the forum account sorted with the help of NS Mods then you can TG me from the Abu Omar nation. It will be more likely to be read quickly if it is sent to Bazalonia and not this account.

Swilatia is ready to be in the world cup again, and hopefully qualify.

Schiavonia will tentatively sign up again.

despite intermittent ability to sign in as Tynelia, Tynelia retruns for a nineth attempt to do something of note.

Bostopia hereby signs up to WC35.

Lovisa in

(puppet of Quak)

From the desk of Gorgol "The Butcher" Harad

We already submitted our application to take part in the NSWC XXXV, yet we are still missing from the list of teams confirmed.

For every day that goes by that we are not added to the list, we will sacrifice a virgin ass from The Archregimancy.

Whoops. Mistake Corrected.

No sacrificing of Virgin Donkeys for you!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!!!!!!!

I believe Turruth Gordur should be classified as a puppet of Assegai Developments: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12141157&postcount=42.

The Commonwealth Nation of Fort Europe will be back for another go.

Yafor 2, back again.

Western Afghanistan will field a squad. This is our first World Cup, and we would indeed like to enter the Baptism of Fire. We are not a puppet.

Boo Yah!

Yah boo!

Grrr.. This is why people need to make known their puppets when posting in the sign up thread.

Everyone with a puppet please make sure I know about it, If I don't and I find out like this about someone else then perhaps with WCC-backing you may receive some sort of sanctions.

Unknown Suburbia officially enters it's first World Cup and Baptism of Fire.

Errinundera will attend.

We will sign-up

I'm back baby

The National side of the Cataduanes Freestate has not participated since WC27 (or maybe 28, cannot remember offhand), so i am pleased to announce our return to international football by signing up for the forthcoming tournament.

PS: look forward to renewing old rivalries with Wentland & Archregimancy (schismatics! :D)

Willink wishes to enter into both it's first World Cup, and Baptism of Fire.

Jaredcohenia wishes to join in the games of the thirtyfifth World Cup, also noting that this is the first time it will do so, also entering the Baptism of Fire.

Cravanian Soccer League Announces Participation in WC 35

The Cravanian Soccer League wishes to enter a team comprised of Cravan's best players for both the 35th World Cup and, since we have not competed in any World Cups beforehand, the Baptism of Fire. We thank you for your time.

I swear! We are alive over here!!! Seeing is believing in WC35 :)

Ulzaxid (puppet of Az-cz in RL) signs up for WC35.

Could you please post with Abu Omar to confirm puppet status, and if you'd like Abu Omar to be in the BoF.

If you having problems with the forum account while you try to get the forum account sorted with the help of NS Mods then you can TG me from the Abu Omar nation. It will be more likely to be read quickly if it is sent to Bazalonia and not this account.

TG sent

Jeru FC signs up of BoF! Why? Err, to make up numbers but who cares.

Jeruselem pulls the strings here ... :p

The Non-RPing n00b signs up as a puppet of Schiavonia, vowing never to RP. Ever.

Enter us to get slaughtered in the Baptism of Fire, too.

UIE signs up to be pumuled yet again.

daughrty would liek to sign up for the world cup

Rossglass;12596153']how can i be put in the Baptism of Fire Cup and the World Cup?

By signing up here and asking to be. I think that should do. :)

The Lowland Clans signs up...to participate, this time around

I categorically deny the existance of this bump... not that this is a bump... no siree no bumps here..

Collonie confirms it's entry as a puppet of Milchama to increase numbers for this cup but will be more than willing to drop out if need be.

Clesmire signs up, its star players ask "who will be competing for second?"

Would you like to participate in the Baptism of Fire? It's for new nations into the World Cup to give them some experience both ICly and OOCly. ICly in international competition and OOCly in RPing.

Kuosio signs up for both the main and Baptism of Fire tournaments.

the Free Stae of Jariss which vehemently denies that it is a puppet of Tynelia wishes to join in both the Cup proper and BoF

((even though for some reason the mods have to check out Jariss' first post before they put it up here, Tynelia confirms Jariss is my puppet. if the Jariss post doesn't show up in a few hours i'll try reposting again))

It's a feature that Jolt have installed to reduce ad-spam. It seems to be working and it seems they can't turn it off for just the NS forums. I found that a real problem with my new puppets.

Kristovenia will sign up for the first time, as well as the Baptism of Fire. We will give it a try!

Ropa-Topia signs up again!

My new puppet: The Community of Veitau will participate in both the Cup and tho Baptism of Fire. I'm sorting out some issues with account activation. (Never make several email accounts with hard to remember passwords...)

Confirmation of puppet status has been made via TG

16 would be a good number of teams for the Baptism of Fire. If we can get one more team we can close sign-ups for that competition.

Patusan, a puppet of Errinundera, wishes to play in the World Cup and the Baptism of Fire (if a puppet of the host is permitted).

Patusan is a puppet of Errinundera. If another team joins the BoF by the time entries close later today then Patusan will withdraw. The aim is to avoid an odd number of teams.

Good. :)

Seeing that it is unlikely I'll be able to activate my main Veitau account, this will be used for posting and such. :)

Cookesland would like to return

7th Time's the charm right? (Hell, GREEN WOMBAT got in last time right??) So Once again the Pot-Smoking Hippies of Sativaville will attempt to bring Ganja Into the World Cup.
(ooc: This is a Puppet of Qazox and Sativaville is the new Tynellia/Green Wombat/any other country that has participated SEVEN times and not gotten in)

Baptism of Fire 22 sign-ups closed. The draw will be published shortly on the Frost and Fire thread. Clesmire will be accepted as a sign-up.

If signups are still open for the big one, Keyne Island (three letter code is KEY) would like to join in.

We are a puppet of a long lost nation...
a thought in an old man's head...
and we have a certain white-clad team in our sights...

Tolvarus would like to participate in World Cup 35, but not the Baptism of Fire as it is already closed and underway. Hopefully its not too late to sign up for this tournament.
