We're everywhere ...


:tongue:

Ekk! Omnipresence scares thee.


I'm looking forward to these results tonight, our game v Sorthern Northland should be interesting!

OK, really, just losing 1-0 to Cafundéu is not bad at all. Margaret could cough a little too hard next time and it's a 1-1 draw.

Caf has rped every day, unlike me in Kosovoe. I figure i might go with the old lets hope the rankings will do if for us. Anyways nonone can score against the Knights.

Sorry - total confusion setting in there. It's those other mid-qualifying games, you see...
We'll re-arrange it as a post-qualifying one, if that's OK?Sure, that's what I'd got it down as on my schedule anyway...

I'm looking for at least one more mid-qual friendly.

Bear Islands- when do you want to play a friendly mid or post? I am still open for both but would like to know when the match is so I can build up the rest of my schedule.

Confirmed friendlies-

Valanora (mid)
Bears Armed (post)
Norwellia (post)
Hr'rmm, you're playing against 'Bears Armed' as a POST-qualifiers match, so making your game against 'The Bear Islands' a MID-qualifiers one -- if there's still enough time left to fit it into the schedule as such -- would seem to make sense.

(I'm having trouble logging into Jolt as 'The Bear Islands' today... :()

Typical, Jeruselem was beaten by a team of girls ...

Atleast you had Lara Bingle in your rp haha.

Oh, and you have a friendly request from your friendly neighbourhood ghost. :tongue:

Sarzonia is volunteering to play as ghosts for my post-qualifier friendly.



And for those of us who care to notice, this is the 10 anniversary of the World Cup 36 BoF crew. Here's our cake!

Group 2 has seen the Starblaydii dominance suffer one majorly minor set-back in the form of a thrilling 5-4 loss away at Qazox. ...


Dae, it was at Starblaydia, not in Qazox. Just saying that's all.

I'm taking this opportunity to go ahead and claim my slice now. I'll not have a repeat of that BoF with C&M coming in and stealing it, no sir. :p

I won't be able to post a RP post for WC46 today and possibly tomorrow.

There goes my chances. :(

I haven't RPed much and I'm still in the hunt.

I should probably be in Newmanistan's place, instead of being six points ahead. :p But, I'm not complaining. :)

Beware of the traditional frantic second half Newmanistanian charge. Live and in person since World Cup 40. (except for 41). In which we will make you sweat it out before we lose out on goal differential or some other tiebreaker on the final day. DAMN YOU SIMEONE DI BRADINI FOR YOUR CURSE!! :)

What's also sad is that right now WEST Newmanistan is closer to qualifying.

And by the way, if we do fail to qualify.... consider this an open invitation for all coaches around the world, if interested, to begin preparing their resumes now to take the reigns of the team in Cup of Harmony 38 & WC 47.

Hello :)

Oh right, do you still have Rob Kietecs' resumé? Saves me a lot of trouble to type one out again, since I was foolish enough to delete his profile file. Again.

Considering as Samseong holds sponsorship of the Newmanistanian team, we're going to start our search for the (potentially likely) next coach for the team. And we have just one man in mind.

Dae, it was at Starblaydia, not in Qazox. Just saying that's all.

So sue my reporter dude for getting his facts wrong.

*plans suit against Qazox for calling him "Dae" as opposed to "Han"*

unless people really think that I'm great...


Also, I BAN Sarzonian cats from eating my cakes... ever!

No but I can remember some of the main points! But it seems as though Samseong has an idea we need to consider.

You dared!!!! But seriously, I'm not sure if he will come and play, but it's worth a try. In the meantime...

Um hosts the Games in the Mike Sarzo cup were the same ones played as in the first game.

GAH! Unexpected plot thickening twists!!!

BTW Han,

I thought you were hosting our post-qualifying match. If you want me to host it, we can play it at Mike Sarzo Stadium in Nicksia (77,910 capacity). Otherwise, you can pick your venue.

Um hosts the Games in the Mike Sarzo cup were the same ones played as in the first game.

What are you on about? I think you're the one who's made a mistake.

Here's the schedule I was given:
Pre-Qualifying
SARZONIA v. Taeshan (Mike Sarzo Stadium, Nicksia) — 2–2
KRYTENIA v. Starblaydia (Isserson Stadium, Emberton) — 4–4

Mid-Qualifying
KRYTENIA v. Sarzonia (Southern Arena, Ousevale) — 5–1
STARBLAYDIA v. Taeshan (I don't know which venue) — 2–2

*looks at hans rp*


*blinks*

:tongue:

But on a more serious note! David wasn't officially with the PFA as a blogger, twas just doing it for fun. However our press release man is sick, perhaps thats where the offer lies?

Well, that was an unexpected win.

Sorry hosts i was confused their for a few minutes when i said that.

I hope Gordon Bay City likes the Bay City Rollers!

Curious.... any Cup of Harmony bids in the works? (There will be none from us.)

None from me. I have neither a working scorinator nor the inclination to run said tournament.

Consider my hat in that ring, although I won't have anything formally drafted until Sunday or Monday.

Now that this talk about hosting was brought up, I'd like to take the opportunity to ask again if there is someone interested in hosting the next World Cup with me. Some experience with hosting is necessary.

I received no TGs last time, so I'm bringing this up again. TG me if you are interested in making a bid for WC47.

I will co-host the Cup of Harmony with someone experienced in hosting a football competition, to make sure there are no fowl ups.

I'm too sleeepy to write any RP today, just can't concentrate for long enough... :(


I didn't really expect the Belles to win their 'away'game against Dancougar yesterday, although a draw seemed possible: When I checked the scores I actually expected to see a loss, maybe 2-0 or 3-1... but 4-1 was a bit of a shock! After all, that tripled the number of goals that have been scored against the Belles during these qualifiers!


Urra Thunder is going to be taking the next game off, so Irriti o Oldwood will be the team's starting goalkeeper then (with Marra RiverFarer as substitute goalie, if needed) instead.

... but 4-1 was a bit of a shock! After all, that tripled the number of goals that have been scored against the Belles during these qualifiers!

Not to mention it took me the entire first half of qualifying to get that many ^_^;

hosts are you going to put whose already eliminated. (i know in my group its only between me and Arch, and Neth)
I got out for school early today. (bomb Threat)

Theoretically, both Hypocria and Swartaz could be second. It would require The Archregimancy to lose every game, and for either of the two former teams to win all their games (there is a nine point difference: 6 pts. vs. 15 pts.). The only eliminated team from Group Five is Tyrrin.

That's correct. A list of eliminated teams is now available in the scores thread.

Well i was looking at it from my point of view then. i was just saying that the only threats to my qualification are Nethertopia and the Arch. I forgot about the other to. Being cetralized i quess.

Is it possible to skip World Cup 47 qualifying and go right to Cup of Harmony 39? ;) (j/k)

*kills ad*

You at least have the thought that I prolly don't qualify as well.

I guess the BoF 27 generation is one of bad luck :p

Surprisingly, I get the same type of result whether I rp or not. Interesting.

That's because you don't have enough gallbladders! You need to start hunting them bears and stealing them from their dead corpses. Otherwise, you'll haven't enough lucky charms!

Okay...

you could kidnap bears instead?

I'll toss my hat into the CoH hosting ring, with a formal bid coming either tonight or sometime this weekend.

Starblaydia!

You have a mission critical TG in your inbox, o mio presidente!

*stops with the opera routine*

7 games, 8 goals scored, 1 allowed.

This must be a record for most Karelan team with a +3 modifier. :p

Just curious.. Hosts would it be easier to just put the eliminated teams in red on the group tables? Or a big ol' E next to their name? Might keep the scores thread cleaner, instead of having an extra post after the scores. Just an idea :)

im so glad that im back so i can post my boring thoughtless news report RPs >_<

Yeah, looks like Cup of Harmony for Jeruselem and Milchama.

Sad day it is for Jeruslem Football, but a good day for Taeshan. Every other cup or so it kindoff lame one day we'll string them in a row and well finally make some headway in the Rankings.

On the upside, I get a shot at the CoH. I don't think any of the current CoH contenders would like a team like Jeruselem in the CoH.

As a Cup of Harmony professional, I can say this looks like it will be one of the most competitive fields in a while. Jeruselem.... Milchama.... maybe Krytenia.... Yafor 2 (thinking optimistically)

Sarzonia still has a chance of being sent to the Cup of Harmony if the right results happen for the Kryties.

Well, how things have gone in Group Ten, that's not too farfetched. :S I mean, I would have never thought I would have qualified.

Dammit i hate when some freaking idiot in the nieghbor hood smashs their car into a telephone pole, it fucks up my connection for two freakign days.

Cafundéu, just wondering, is your court open/public/covered by the media? I.e. would we here in Peisandros be aware of it?

I would be interested in rp'ing a response to the dramas!

Hmmm... so many interesting decisions...

After I fire the coach do I blow up the MFA create a new roster, not create a new roster. Talk about growing pains or not.

I think I'm going to write an angry post in the scores thread to start things off!

Yes, people can freely watch it. It wasn't intended to be open but, as commented during the trial, they were unable to stop the invasion of people that weren't allowed to be there and in the end decided to give up and let everyone in.

Yes for mine (assuming the underline was designed for me). I have kept open the space for the as yet non finalised Bear Islands match, which never got scheduled.

The West Zirconian game is still going ahead as well.

Okay. Do you want to decide which team will be playing at home, and notify Adihan?

Done. Playing at Somewhereistonia (Spektakl-3-Arena)

Thank you. :)Could you possibly send me some information (or urls of relevant wiki sites) about the venue, and why it's called 'Redwood City', in case I could incorporate any of that into the RP?

I've no Wiki on any of my cities, let alone a place like Redwood.
However, I shall TG stadium details and possibly a little history to you, to use as you wish.

The first time I started playing this game-within-a-game, it took me four World Cup qualifying campaigns to make it to the World Cup finals. And I'd won the Baptism of Fire Cup.

Now, coming into this second go-round as an unranked side, it took me three Cups to make it back to the Finals and I didn't take part in the Baptism of Fire Cup this time. What rubber chicken did I sacrifice that made Margaret go ga-ga so much? :p

Six attempts, six failures. But I'm seeing a bright future: First time I RPed quite a bit and missed out by only one point.

Watch out, World Cup 47, the Falcons are coming!

I think we put together a pretty damn good inaugural effort.

As for post-qual friendlies, I no longer have time to sift them out, so anyone who's planned one with me, please send the TG if you want it to happen. I'll leave my opponents to RP them.

Once again, I have failed to qualify. :( I might not return for WC47. This is really discouraging.

C'mon, there are always countries worse off than you. Newmanistan has been here since WC 40 and has just qualified for the first time.

I'm here since 40 and I still haven't qualified. It's not about qualifying or winning, it's about entertaining people with RPs and having fun with a community. I really enjoy reading a post that makes me laugh or tells a good story. That's why I am here, not to qualify for an imaginary World Cup ;)

Once again, I have failed to qualify. :( I might not return for WC47. This is really discouraging.

Keep trying. I first joined for World Cup 25, and have been on and off since then. I have missed the majority of world cups, IIRC (I took part in 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 34, 41, 42, 43 & 45; eleven world cups without qualifying... admittedly, had I not had huge gaps between different world cups the story may have been different).

You came closer to qualifying this time, and so you'll have a higher chance of qualifying next time. But, qualification will come in due time. Perhaps that's what earns the merits of qualifying; sticking through. Or, you can get lucky like me.

Back!

not that it matters

When I returned to World Cup football, I figured it would take me at least seven World Cups to qualify. I was actually looking forward to RPing as a nation that was used to success and had to learn to take the lumps associated with starting from the bottom. I had a series of storylines I'd planned to put into place that would allow me to chronicle the team's gradual ascent.

I also wanted to delve a little bit more into some of the characters, some of the psyche involved in seeing the team built from the ground up.

Coming within one point of qualifying in my first World Cup back wasn't in my script. I was going to fire my coach after two World Cups and cite my football association for ignorance of reality. The success forced me to alter my script. Then when I had Franz Braddock become manager, I envisioned him as being a caretaker manager until the next manager guided the team to the World Cup finals.

When I was doing this the last time, I got caught up in the victories and defeats, the undeserved draws and the well-played matches. I didn't see it for what it is and what it should have been, an opportunity to have fun with randomly generated numbers in this game within a game. I'm trying to do a better job of enjoying the journey as much as I did the destination.

I encourage you to stick with it, Greal. Perhaps you can think of a new angle you haven't tried, an RP style you haven't experimented with. I harken back to what Cassadaigua wrote once about the World Cup. She said she enjoyed reading RPs from people she thought were good enough to write for a living.

That's one thing I've enjoyed this time around. Not who wins, not who draws, but the stories that lead us on the way.

Taeshan, this really doesn't matter but, I think Peisandros should be infront of Prux on your list! Haha just something I noticed.

As for Greal, while I'm probably not in a very good place to offer advice considering my luck, I'd suggest and urge you don't give up! Perhaps rp'ing so that regardless of results you can enjoy yourself, because from that chances are you'll entertain others which is the main point of this whole game anyway... In my opinion!

Yes, people can freely watch it. It wasn't intended to be open but, as commented during the trial, they were unable to stop the invasion of people that weren't allowed to be there and in the end decided to give up and let everyone in.

*smells an MBC radio broadcast opportunity!!!!*

OK, looks my biggest rivals to my CoH campaign are Krytenia, Yafor 2 and Milchama. Hopefully they stay home and don't go the CoH :)

Yafor 2 didn't RP.

6 World Cups, 0 Qualifications. See, lots of us here can't do it.

Yafor 2 didn't RP.

Well, one less to worry about then ...:tongue:

The laws of statistics say that you will qualify - eventually! Of course, by the time you do qualify, we'll be stuck in wheelchairs, listening to the world through an ear-trumpet.

Yafor 2 didn't RP.

As he stated prior to qualification, and held to that since. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14768420#post14768420)

I surmise that Newmanistan will qualify if Jeruselem fails to do so. And I surmise that I will be thoroughly disproven by next WC.

Either way, I'm 50% correct!

Just to state, Allemenschen will not be planning to attend the CoH unless the numbers are needed to fill it. If need be, we are willing to be represented by Yafor 2 (although I'm not sure if they'd be willing to represent us...)

Rymeria's not eligible for the Cup of Harmony. If it were, I'd also rather give that spot to Yaf.

You could sell me your football team, steal someones national something, have someone steal something of yours, build a rivalry. There's loads of potential.

Or you could start a trial, fill your nation with faeries, have a drug scandal involving your best player, have an earthquake in your nation, give your largest company in your nation a mysterious competitor...

So much options!

Ah... Must've dozed off while reading that... or due to the limited lime i had on the net in April, i might have missed it.

Well I guessed you were just busy, but I finished 3rd, exactly where I expected.

And didn't do too badly to keep us to a draw! You and Golgothastan actually.

I only lost to the top 2 in the group, the only other dropped points was a 3-3 draw with Golgothastan away.

So I'm fairly pleased with my first attempt.

Just curious, will post qualifying rankings be available before the group draw? And will they be used for the group draw?

Yes to the latter question. Can one of our rankings maintainers please do the rankings by this time tomorrow?

well, I could do them, but since I can't upload them via my mobile phone, it wouldn't do much good. It's all yours, Caf. :p

*mutters something unintelligible apart from some obscene four-letter words*

Fuckabuncha Verizon.

I am really sorry for not doing the update before, should have predicted this would be needed. Yesterday I had my usual (1 per month) 500km trip from São Paulo to São José do Rio Preto, so I spent all day offline and couldn't have done it.

I'll get to work on it now, although I've just discovered that the computer here had some problems and had to be formatted, so I'll have to reinstall OpenOffice first.

But the rankings will come soon.

Don't worry, Caf, we won't bite hard if you're late.

Looks like I'm screwed. :P

There's too much black above my ranking :(

Also, FIFA says I'm Egypt and ELO calls me Colombia.

26th?
FIFA => Chile, ELO => Sweden.

No. 34
FIFA = Ireland
ELO = South Korea or Iran

I can dig it.

Looks like I'm screwed. :P

Haha nope. I went in to my first WC ranked 84th. Somehow got to the finals with a post-qualifying rank of 46. Then managed to get through to the second round.. Nothing's impossible :tongue:

This one team qualified unranked, can't remember who though >_>

How'd I fall 4 spots to 23rd???
Was it the weak group??


FIFA= Serbia (Former home of Ethnic Cleansers)
ELO= Bulgaria (Former home of Gypsies)

Tough Choice.

And JERU FC is higher than Jeruselem?

Dancougar or ESF are your choices.

Little known fact, Dazza Dallas was first ever coach of Jeru FC but that was not for a World Cup. I think it was a minor cup.
I think Jeru FC should be higher than 20 myself.

Dazza is no gypsy either, singing is not one of her better skills.

We are now officially the third best team never to qualify for the World Cup. Congratulations to Greal on being the best as that statistic should be all you need to motivate you to return.

I guess you didn't notice, but Milchama, ranked #9, didn't qualify too... and also Yafor 2 (#17), Jeruselem (#22) and Krytenia (#24)... that makes you the 7th best-ranked team to not qualify for this cup instead...

...well, reading fast made me miss completely your point, sorry... forget everything above, you're right (as Somewhereistonia pointed out).

He said never to qualify.

Netheropia, you're cleary new, I was reffering to myself back in WC29

Excellent. We can make the 38th Cup of Harmony as the last Jolted WCC-sanctioned event.


All future ones, until further notice, will take place on the nationstates.net forums, where things in bold often go green.

And, to kick off this momentous occasion, we have our sign-ups for World Cup 47, which are in another place (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1140).

Yes, that's right, we're fully operating on ns.net now!

It was a reference to his own qualification, back in WC29 (I think).

Let's go out on here with a bang, folks!

I do recall the qualification of Oickoidia (or whatever) in WC37. They qualified despite having never RPed for the BoF or the WCQ, lost every match in the BoF, and virtually on zero points throughout the World Cup Qualification Tourney.

Now stop please making me waste time by satisfying quibbling curiosities!

While my general sentiment is "yay!", I should've known this would happen during my Internet-impairedness. It always does. :p

(As a (very) few of you may remember, I went away from home for the summer in the middle of WC15, which was also when we came over to Jolt. Crikey, that was five years ago - I was still in high school then!)

All Cup of Harmony invitations have been sent out via telegram and a list of qualified teams has been posted in the thread. Deadline for invitation responses is Thursday the 28th at 10 PM eastern (0200 GMT Friday morning).

I'm sorry, Quak, but given you've only just returned from an off-and-on hiatus, why should we trust you to host WC47 and that you won't disappear again?

I guess that mean you don't want to cohost with me eh?

EDIT: By the by, is anyone else having problems viewing said forum in Safari (currently the only browser at my disposal)?

So far, I haven't had those problems on Safari.

However, I can't view YouTube videos that well in Safari, but I can with Firefox. I can't view Facebook on Firefox, but I can on Safari. Therefore, the over/under for new NS forum problems on my browser is three weeks. :p

I'm sorry, Quak, but given you've only just returned from an off-and-on hiatus, why should we trust you to host WC47 and that you won't disappear again?

Well, he has hosted a World Cup in the past (http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=World_Cup_33), so he's a) as good a choice as anyone, including you, as he's got a very good idea of what is necessary to run it, b) he has respect for the institution of the World Cup, because he's hosted before, so to accuse him of leaving randomly is a bit silly, c) you don't ask the question of anyone else, so what makes Quak different? and d) he's RPed since coming back, repeatedly, something he hasn't done in the past, indicative that he's here to stay.

That aside, there's considerable precedent for Quak hosting, maybe not WC47, but at least WC48. Kura-Pelland, for example, went on hiatus for multiple cups, returned in WC35, and hosted WC37. The same is true for Vephrall, who stopped competing as Bedistan in WC32, then returned in WC35, and co-hosted in WC37. Quak too has run a WC in the past, so he's got the same background they did.

I mean, Quak's been gone for a fair bit, but he's got the experience, and there's no specific reason to think that he will leave in the middle (unless you have something...?) so I can't see any reason why "we" shouldn't trust him to host anything..."you" might have one, though.

Re. point c: The fact he dropped hosting the III Winter Olympics midway is pretty telling.

To be honest, LE, I'd like to see who joins in on a hosting bid with Quak before I'd pass judgment on whether he should co-host World Cup XLVII.

If we wanted to use prior hosting history as a guide, I'm sure we could come up with plenty of people who'd oppose a World Cup hosting bid you take part in after World Cup XXII. Same with Oli and World Cup XXVI. There's a point when our prejudices don't serve anyone well.

I'm not saying necessarily give Quak a chance based on his prior successes here. But I'm also not saying don't trust Quak because of his history. In all honesty, I think your question of Quak may have been better served as a TG or a PM on Jolt than igniting a public referendum on this thread.

It's hardly my fault my cohost disappeared after two days that cup, to be fair.

I think your question of Quak may have been better served as a TG or a PM on Jolt than igniting a public referendum on this thread.

Ultimately I'd have raised the question in his bid thread anyway. I think it's better to get it out of the way first, personally.

As someone who hasn't seen Quakmybush in his heyday here, I could not vote for a WC47 bid of his. WC48? Sure, if he was active in WC47. It's a trust factor, and I think that's all LE is saying here. There's a bunch of us "newbies" from WC39, 40 and beyond who have votes and probably think the same way I do.

Maybe Quak should consider BoF 34, or I see in his sig he's done a World Cup of Hockey. Host something like that for now, Quak. It is playoff time. (Hockey)

Fair enough.

Also, can I please clarify that my question to Quak was never meant to be hostile, it was more of a 'tell me why I should vote for your potential bid given the circumstances', which I feel is a valid question to ask any host. Perhaps the use of the word "trust" skewed the intention of the question.

I wonder if I can RP a plot to blow up The Sky Dome...

Uh, no. A terrorist attack in my largest city doesn't fit the other RPs I need to use it for.

But if you have a way of destroying it that will not affect neighbouring buildings and not result in people getting killed, that is worth reading, you may if you really want to. I do reserve the right to ignore if I don't like it, though.

I probably could find a way to do it, but I won't try to blow up the Sky Dome.

I still have some residual hatred of one of the Rogers Centre's primary tenants even though I stopped cheering for the team that caused me to hate said tenant.

With that new announcement, I wonder why Jolt wouldn't think that the NS forum people wouldn't move en masse to the new NSForums.

I really do not like the new forums as much. Is a lot harder to do stuff, and more complicated, but opner i guess

In case anyone's been following the CoH thread, I apparently fucked up. Having argued the point to a conclusion, it may be a good idea to codify this thing. What qualifications must one meet in order to make a rules proposal? Just be on the WCC, yes? 'Cause I could, like, do the responsible thing and clean up my mess, or something.

I am arranging/writing/re-writing the current rules as I can find them in order to do that very thing.

At the moment, proposals are made at random by WCC members (non-embers aren't usually bothered) and once an informal quorum has been reached (or two options emerge through debate), they are put to a vote by the President.

Or they're simply ignored.

This I am looking to change, and codify, from top to bottom, as well as make this (http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=World_Cup_Committee) more professional, simpler, clearer and overall better.

Yes I am an old/new name in the sense that I was a new player back in WC39 and my last one in which a team was entered was WC45. I hope to come back for WC47 but that is another matter.

Basically Jolt is more than likely going to be closing down these forums and maybe even deleting them for good. NS2 is set to be shut down July 1st, however, that is neither here nor there.

I am more concerned with what will be going on with this WC community and the possibilty that these forums will go.

Does the WCC and the president have some sort of plan in moving over to the forums hosted on the nationstates website? Are members going to be saving various WC threads or not?

Sorry if you guys have already talked about this but I wouldn't want this to fall apart and be in confusion hence why I am bringing this up.

A while back a few players went through and saved all the WC and BoF (and, I believe, CoH) threads.

You bet your ass we do (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewforum.php?f=7), and thanks for your concern.

Good!

Umm, in case Jolt does close this forum and I then want to check one of those threads, where did they put them?

We have the technology, don't worry.

Nice, my next game's in Latrobe. Time to bust out the Rolling Rock! Unless there's a matchday ban on alcohol sales in Kelssek? ^_^

Does the scorinator that's being used for this Cup place a significantly greater emphasis on differences in KPB points between the teams involved -- and give less weight to RP -- than the one[s] that were used for WC45 & WC46? And does it give the winning teams more goals, if their KPB values are higher then those of their defeated opponents, than that one did?
I mean, 'Sorthern Northland 4 -- 0 Bears Armed'?!? When we've played against teams that were around SN's place in the tables in the past we've generally lost by no more than 2 goals, and sometimes drawn or even (maybe once) won...

Afaik, this scorinator and the one me and CH used are one in the same. KPB values are treated where the difference between a team wtih 49 KPBs to 7 KPBs are that the same as a team with 7 KPBs and a team with 1 KPB. However, Kel and LE are using a different system of RP bonus, which may or may not be effecting the scores in such a manner. Likely thing is you just had some bad luck.

I would say that, right now, it's weighing rank and randomness far more than RP. All RP bonuses were reset when the finals began, so the lower-ranked teams which were stockpiling may have been victimized by the gap reopening. But even then, they were only keeping four matchdays worth of RP to begin with to discourage stockpiling early and then vanishing.

Poor Qaz! Absolutely no luck getting to the 2nd round.

Good to see, I had a feeling you guys were pretty organised and I see signups for WC47 are well under way I better hurry up.

Cheers Star

well 1/14 (0.07142857%) is slightly better than 0/14....

Wait.. Qazox being positive about losing? WTF is going on here?

Can I finally claim the BEST team to do NOTHING in the World Cup yet?

well 1/14 (0.07142857%) is slightly better than 0/14....



I was so prepared to pick on you about this if we ended up winning today, too. ;)

On an unrelated note, did you know that Newmanistan is more devout then The Archregimancy? I didn't either, but the WA rankings say so.

Jeruselem is ranked 4th in the region and 1,771st in the world for Most Devout Nations.

Not bad for the most whorish nation in NSWC ...

A keeper who played in just two World Cups and won less then half the games he played is the greatest player in Qazox football history? Guess that proves they like underachievement. I would have to rank Ms. Jaus much higher.

At least there's no debate on who the #1 Newmanistanian is who will very soon become our first player inducted into the WC Hall of Fame. Or maybe I'll surprise people with my selection.

Oh well, that's Qaz. My #1 player
* 5 NS world cups as a player,
* 3 NS world cups as coach
* two Oxen cups for Jeru FC as coach
* 5 women's world cups as a player
* 1 women's world cup as coach
* 1 women's world cup as assisant coach

I have to pick just one?

Awwww crap ;)

He's #1 due primarily to his Head Coaching Carrer, and the (IC) mysterious death. Besides (ICly) it was done by a panel of QFA people and the media, so blame them.

IIRC, my number one player played in nine World Cup qualifying campaigns, five World Cups, including two finals. He also served as the coach of two World Cup qualifying campaigns and as an assistant for at least one.

He's also the second player in World Cup final history to score a hat trick in the championship match. He's the first to do so for a winning side, since Kaze Progressa's Sani Luvo scored thrice in a 4-3 loss to Rejistania.

I dont want to say it but my best in Brian Ying uing. Even though Zeke is in the HOF, and was the main reason are team rose through the ranks know that he is coahing Brian Ying Uing has taken over and will be probally one of the best historical players.

#7 Somewhereistonia vs. #10 Rejistania : Somewhereistonia's got to be hurting after their last game, but they have enough leadership to suck it up and stop the bleeding against a quiet Rejistanic team.

Prediction: Somewhereistonia 2 - 1 Rejistania

Urm, we won against Jerusalem, a team ranked nearly 30 places above us going into the CoH.

Other than that.... yey I got through!

Its a pity West Newmanistan's president got shot, he seemed like a nice guy. We take no responsibility. :p

World Cup final - Han vs Robots ... LOLZ

In grand Dancougarian tradition a pair of interns have been fired.

we're our own cultural icon. yay.

:hail::hail::hail:

of course, with all of those interns fired, we could hire some of them in our quest for our first title evar...

Dancougar's tradition even affected Sarzonia a while back.

Good luck to both teams in the final!

Hmm... that would bring the CoH total to one IC firing and two OOC firings, and I'm not sure how that meshes with Secristan's odds.

The bet applies only when your interns get fired. :p

Congrats Dancougar.... but we still have the Bird on Skates. ;)

I can see it now... in a (not so ) distant future, visitors to the FA pass through the hall of fame...

"Oh, man, the World Cup! This thing's pretty sweet."
"We had to dogfight those Han, but we finally pulled ahead."
"Nice, nice... but wait, where are all those challenge cups you guys invented?"
"Oh... yeah... uh... we lost all of those..."

Now that the scores and this World Cup is done, I can say:

Ad’ihan News!!
This cohost is a Red Wings fan and did not like seeing pro-Penguins subheadings to Dancougar News!! but let it all slide.

:P

Last night's game went quite poorly for us according to The Onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/detroit_pittsburgh_both_attempting?utm_source=a-section). Damn Jordan Staal and his stupid shorthanded goals.

Congrats dude.

4-5 is a final to remember.

Congrats Dancougar!

WTG Dancougar

While I confess that winning would have been much better than losing, at least we only lost by a point.

Congratz to Dancougar! And may we meet again sometime so we can return the favor.

Oh, and LE, I'd like a refund :P

How sick must the Stars feel. Only one goal separated them from the two teams that appeared in the World Cup final in the two matches this cycle!

Commiserations to Han.

I enjoy the RPs from both players, so I'm glad it turned out to be the two of them in the final. Both of you could be professional writers if you wanted to, in the opinion of a longtime writer and editor.

Bad luck Han, losing a final is worse than being 3rd.

Man, how bad must The Holy Empire feel to finish fourth?

I know, I have experience finishing at all four spots.

I think you returned to the WC right after I finished my horrendous robot fanfiction RPs - bemoaned by many - otherwise you would certainly reconsider that statement ^_^

There was nothing wrong with the giant robot stuff quality-wise, Dancougar. It was just the fact that it was in World Cup threads :p
