World Cup 43 Signups

NSWC Signups
09-09-2008, 14:02
SIGNUPS FOR WORLD CUP 43 AND ITS ASSOCIATED TOURNAMENTS ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

* * *

World Cup 43 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://nswiki.net/index.php?title=World_Cup).

The NSWC is a tournament for any NS nation who signs up. This World Cup is about to start its 43rd 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 Valanora, with a rank of 1) See: KPB Rankings (http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=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://nswiki.net/index.php?title=World_Cup_FAQs) - Courtesy of Starblaydia


The longest-running sports competition in NationStates reaches its forty-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, or if you have no KPB points, you may be able to take part in the preliminary Baptism of Fire Cup (http://nswiki.net/index.php?title=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

Newmanistan
09-09-2008, 15:03
In our original Baptism of Fire roster, it was posted that then captain Kevin Lewis had a superstition of the #43 and it bringing him good luck.

Was this a bit of foreshadowing?

We sign up AND qualify this time! (At least I hope that's what all this means)
Dancougar
09-09-2008, 17:19
The Black Wings are ready as ever.
Bostopia
09-09-2008, 17:23
Dear sirs;

We are appaled at the lack of nudity in the sign-up thread, and are considering not signing up. However, just to spite you, we will be.

Bostopia's in.
Cafundeu
09-09-2008, 17:27
Cafundéu is in...

...just this.
Terreiro de Ogum

The shadow of the insane island threatens the blessed land, but the followers of the Orixás won't give up in their search for perfect balance...

Terreiro de Ogum will participate.

Alasdair I Frosticus
09-09-2008, 18:55
The Holy Empire - the last (probably) remaining active WC1 nation - signs up for WC 43.
The Archregimancy
09-09-2008, 18:57
The Holy Monastic Republic of the Archregimancy signs up to represent the one true church.

That would be the Orthodox Church, naturally.


The Archregimancy is IC'ly (and for sign-up purposes) a puppet of the Holy Empire.

OOC'ly, it's my primary OOC posting nation these days. Clear?
Septentrionia
09-09-2008, 19:11
We will be back to bring some Frenchness to this slani cup!

West Zirconia
10-09-2008, 00:24
Just as the disappointment of failing to qualify for the last World Cup finally sinks in, all of a sudden we are being asked to sign up for the next one.

Something which, incidentally, West Zirconia does with great pleasure.

Jeru FC
10-09-2008, 00:29
The Cannons will be back because Jeruselem sez so.
Qazox
10-09-2008, 04:09
Qazox will return, and if they win WORLD CUP 42, the team will be NUDE. (if they don't win WC42, then they won't be nude... so there's some incentive to let me win now huh?)
Rejistania
10-09-2008, 07:43
KaMaRi signing up
Kura-Pelland
10-09-2008, 10:16
Kura-Pelland's mysteriously successful side return for what might even be a genuine tilt at glory at this rate.
Land de Wood
10-09-2008, 10:38
We have just received breaking news that Land de Wood have signed up for the next World Cup. We have the following quote from our national team manager Andrew Wood:

"We are delighted to be given the opportunity to again partake in this international sporting competition, with the experience gained from this year's World Cup qualifiers, Baptism of Fire and the forth coming Cup of Harmony we have high hopes of qualifying for the World Cup at the second attempt."
Swilatia

And confirmed. Yafalonia and Bazor 2 is in.
The Archregimancy
15-09-2008, 18:16
A bug is temporarily stopping new nations from posting in the forums and therefore also prevents them from signing up. I've been contacted by WC old-timer Tanah Burung asking me to help sign up his new nation Tanah Tinggi for the World Cup. Might as well sign him up for the BoF too unless he contradicts me.

I enclose a copy of the TG he sent me below. I hope this unorthodox sign-up will be accepted under the circumstances. The existence of Tanah Tinggi can easily be doublechecked.

Hallo ...

Since you were kind enough to notice I re-created Tanah Burung and post to the WC discussion thread, would you be willing to post that I am hoping to sign up for the World Cup (as Tanah Tinggi, new nation created for this purpose)? I'm unable to post to the forums as TB, as this account, or on new accounts created especially to see if I could post. I'd love to get back into World Cup action, but the forums are conspiring against me!

Hope things are good with you...
Candelaria And Marquez
19-09-2008, 18:10
Here I be.

Just a thought, and one I'm sure has been raised already, but aren't we seriously going to struggle to reach eighty-or-so teams, never mind have a functioning BoF, while this present posting problem persists periodically?
Vlaskin
19-09-2008, 19:07
Vlaskin would like to sign up.

This is my first world cup.
Taeshan
19-09-2008, 20:23
As you may dicipher from looking at the first post there is 78 teams signed up. Or does it always say that. Anyways theres at least 40, and you don't neccesarily need more then 16 nations or 8 to reun a bof.
The Macabees
19-09-2008, 20:30
Yes, there are 78 nations signed up, but only 59 posts in this thread.

If I counted correctly, there are currently 61 nations signed up, 10 of them in the Baptism of Fire.
Cassadaigua

They're mayt be. It just says 78 by the signup in the (). It may be less i dont know.
Onimar
21-09-2008, 01:20
The Empire of Onimar would like to sign up for the world cup and the Baptism of Fire.
NSWC Signups
21-09-2008, 01:50
Signups updated through Onimar. A couple of notes:

The Tanah Tinggi signup is confirmed (and welcome back!); a similar TG arrived in the NSWC Signups inbox. (I must admit, I don't check telegrams for this nation with any regularity.)
All that stuff about the number of signups - wow, I didn't expect that my inadvertent failure to change one number from the WC42 signup thread from which I copied it would create quite so much discussion. :p At any rate, there are currently 61 signups, including 7 puppets and 11 BoF entries.
Only one of Magnus Valerius' two signup posts was counted. ;)
Kosovoe
21-09-2008, 01:58
The Blue Tornadoes would like to confirm the earlier mentioning of Kosovoe as the Taeshani puppet.
Magna Sancta Sedes
21-09-2008, 02:07
The Most Holy Representative Football Team of Magna Sancta Sedes signs up after a very inspiring run in the WCQ and the CoH!

EDIT - oh, yeah, MSS is a disjoined puppet of the Han. And do I really need to post a statement by the Han saying that I confirm that MSS is my puppet? *plans to KILL whomever says "yes"*
Tortuga y Hispaniola
21-09-2008, 04:24
Sign us up for Bof and WC. If we can manage to field a team of pirates that hasn't all killed each other by the time of the tournament..
Blouman Empire
21-09-2008, 04:50
I had better hurry up and sign up, this time we will qualify. (Yeah right)

21-09-2008, 11:16
To save Caf the bother; Onimar have already competed in a BoF (the 25th, in Miceland).

I do believe that this would normally exclude them from a second go, though the sheer inventive civility involved in using f**king or f**k eight times, a** twice and s**t or s**tiest four times in the space of one post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13189020#post13189020) deserves special commendation at the very least.

NSWC Signups

Signups updated through Krytenia.
Onimar removed from BoF list as ineligible per C&M.
Added Jaseuyeon, whom I missed from the list earlier. (CH, quit assuming I'm not too lazy to throw the Korean characters into a translator to figure out that wasn't just the Syokaji form of SLANI :p)
Cafundeu
27-09-2008, 16:11
Notes about the BoF:

- Cokenia is also ineligible to play in the BoF, as it participated in the World Cup 42 qualifiers, and so has KPB points.

- Current number of sign-ups is 13: Myedvedeya, the republic of colbourne, Maimeiras, Docky, Secristan, Tanah Tinggi, Vlaskin, Deceased Writers Guild, Maestro L Pavarotti, Cassadaigua, Bushdome, Tortuga y Hispaniola, Urna Eletrônica.

Baptism of Fire sign-ups will close on the 10th of October, with the thread being opened one day after.

We currently have 16 teams, but more can enter, of course, so if you are a new country and want to participate in the WC and BoF you can still sign-up. The BoF can work too with 18, 20 and 24 countries, so, if there are more sign-ups, they'll be only accepted if we reach one of those numbers.

Gentlemen,

Please take this somewhere else. This is the sign-up thread, not the argue over Roman numerals thread. If you have to argue about this, take it to NS general.

... therefore, i have come to the conclusion that the one who calls him/herself "Linpada" either is a moron, or didnt pay attention in maths.

This earnt the player a yellow card, the lowest level infraction.

For the benefit of the new players in this thread: it's not for simply using the word "moron". True, some words do usually set off alarms, but what drew the penalty was the fact that the post was an insult intentionally aimed at the player, not at his statement.

I have been ascended to the idea to report you, this therefore will automatically expire your NationStates Football League membership.
Ardchoille
11-10-2008, 13:48
I have been ascended to the idea to report you,

Linpada, I don't know what this means, but let me point out two details:

1. You don't need to report anything. It has already been reported in the Moderation forum and dealt with. That's it.

... this therefore will automatically expire your NationStates Football League membership.

2. In general, mods don't interfere in the conduct of roleplays. A person who has broken an NS rule doesn't get penalised in his RPs as well.

As far as I can see, the only people who might have any effect on a nation's NSFL status are "NSWC Signups" -- the original poster -- or Cafundeu, who appears to be organising the Baptism of Fire.

No doubt they'll correct me if I've got the details wrong. But my point is, don't threaten. It could be taken as flamebait, or as trying to use mods as weapons, both of which are against the rules.
Liventia
11-10-2008, 13:58
"NSFL" is something organised by Linpada and is not affiliated with nor sanctioned by the World Cup Committee.
Ardchoille
11-10-2008, 14:57
Ah, okay. Thanks, Liventia. Sorry, Linpada. Please disregard the second part of my post.
Linpada

That is alright.

Thank you, ma'am.

1) That's not your decision to make. Sign-ups have not been closed by the co-hosts to the best of my knowledge, and Qutar is a respected past participant in the World Cup.

2) Can newbies please stop clogging up the sign-up thread with irrelevant discussion. This thread is for signing up for the World Cup, not for Baptism of Fire participants to comment on the sign-ups of other nations. If you have something to discuss, please take it to the discussion thread. If Linpada and Kjomasasopia in particular could try and control themselves, perhaps we might have more than two sign-ups in the last 15 posts. Can I respectfully point out that Kjomasasopia has already received a public mod warning from Ardchoille for making inappropriate comments in this thread.

Qazox and Taeshan should both know better, and should picture an Orthodox bishop wagging his finger sternly at them with his other hand on his hip and a slight frown on his face.

And please take a hint - don't make things worse by replying to this message.

Thank you,

Your World Cup Committee President +

Wow i agree with your pointing some things out to KJO, but Taeshan and Qazox should already know not to do this. I pointed out the possibility of a flame, and Q pointed out how he was no infact wrong.

Just to confirm this: yes, WC43 signups are still open as of right now. With Qutar in, bringing the total to 79, we still have three (3) more places available.

Viltek would like to sign-up as a puppet of Rennidan!
Rennidan
19-10-2008, 20:09
And this is me, Rennidan, confirming that, yes, I am, in fact, Viltek!

Signups updated through Viltek.

A few notes:

Maimeiras no longer exists.
Tanah Tinggi no longer exists.
Maestro L Pavarotti no longer exists.
Kjomasasopia has stated his intention to withdraw in both the roster and RP threads, and far be it from me to stop him.


This leaves us with 76 nations signed up. This means we still need six more nations before the World Cup qualifying draw, which looks like it will be occurring on Friday. If we do not have six more nations by then, there may be a few changes to the qualifying group structure. Due to RL scheduling constraints, pushing back the start date is not an option.

Kjomasasopia has sent me the following TG after I sent a TG in WCC President mode noting that his withdrawal would be counterproductive for ranking purposes:

then consider this my unwithdrawal lol, i post on the forums as well.

I leave it up to our hosts to decide whether this is considered an adequate 'unwithdrawal' - he may think I have the power as President to personally cancel his withdrawal, which of course I don't. I note, however, that his latest post in the RP thread anticipates that he'll 'be at school' when qualification scorination takes place, so he seems to be assuming that he's in.

edit:
I see he's officially rescinded his withdrawal when posting a roster in the roster thread; my apologies for missing this previously.

O Ale Ale the crazy anarcho-primitivist puppet of Milchama signs up.

Currently we are known as the "Seventy Ninth Entrant." Unless of course we're not needed because we really kind of hate capitalist games like football.
