Thanks for wat

thanks Taeshan

OOC: Eh, I don't know that much about rugby, but... Sign me up, I suppose.

IC: The Fédération Ariddienne de Rugby (FAR) will be pleased to participate in the Rugby World Cup for the first time. In view of the current political situation in the Ariddian Isles, efforts will be made to integrate players from West and North-West Ariddia.

OOC: Pa'atua signs up as a puppet of Ariddia.

IC: Pa'atua is eager to participate in an international sporting event for the first time. Our ability to participate, however, will depend on funding from our ally Alfegos. We will reconfirm when and if we are able to secure funding to equip a team and send them to the Cup.

Suprise there. Punctuation and capitalization never hurt anyone.
Anyways Solenial do you have a scorinator? Perhaps more details would be nice.

i've updated the first post, with more info...

Lovisa in

Pa'atua confirms its signup, having secured funding from Alfegan sponsors.

Sign-ups are still open... Milchama you can still join

I'll sign up.

The Rugby Association of Sorthern Northland (RASN) shall be sending a team along.

Mallatarsland would like to sign up.

Egg chasing is our national sport.

Well, technically it is the egg and spoon race, but it amounts to the same thing. Doesn't it?

:p

bump... I still want at least another ten teams

Starblaydia, hosts of the first jolt RWC and three-time Semi-Finalists, will send a Rugby Team to compete.

Candelaria And Marquez will sign up, post a roster, and then sit back and watch as diligently RP-ing nations fall by the wayside as we sweep into the later stages.

Not bitter or owt, you understand :p

OOC: Sounds awesome count me in. I love rugby, it's the only really decent sport! And I'm not a complete n00bzers! I did have an account called Herastall for ages until I went on holiday and *sniff* forgot to set to vacation mode!

IC: Alba Scotland would happily take part. Sport is considered a top agenda among our people.

bump ...

(in the yellow) charges forward.

any idea for a closing date for signing-up, or just keep it open until you have the required number of teams?

yeah, i'm looking for 20 then the sign-ups will close

yeah, i'm looking for 20 then the sign-ups will close

Be content with 16, for four groups of four - 20 is very unlikely.

okay, will do...

I'm looking for 2 more Participants!

Kalaa signs up.

okay... just one more space!

Miroxia will send the national rugby team to compete (where do you want my roster?)

I'll start a roster thread right away.
