Can't miss sort-of my own party, now can I?

In!

Indeed.

A new group of wealthy and spoiled offspring of Millionaire parents will enter.

The defending champion Junior Stars return!

Duh

Yes please.

Ignore Allemenschen, the Han will be coming to haunt you people.

We'll be back.

Rhapsody In Sky Blue, reporting for duty.

Rainbow Warriors in.

Vultures as we are, of course we'll be there to feast on the Elves' supplies and hotels and whatnot.

Lovisa in

Kura-Pelland in!

Not that we care about this poxy little competition any more, naturally, but we’re here… Of course.

EDIT: And I do believe that makes sixteen, for what it's worth.

EDIT: And I do believe that makes sixteen, for what it's worth.But if there's still room for one more then the Bears would like to send a team too...

'fraid not Bears. Twas a race to sixteen and you just missed out. The group draw will be conducted tommorow, with the first matches on Wednesday. Scorination time will usually be between 21:00 UTC (4 pm CDT) - 23:00 UTC (6 pm CDT), but may be slightly later depending upon my activities that day.

*(grumbles about the lists not even being kept open for as much as one full day; owing to the time-zone in which I live, I was actually [OOC] asleep for a lot of that time...)*


*(OOC: grumbles again, because the Bears' intention to submit a team if & when this contest got announced was actually mentioned a little while ago in their World Cup RP so that now it looks as though they slipped up IC...)*

OOC: I agree with Bears Armed about this. Honestly, most sign up threads give people from various time zones the chance to sign up or not to. Less than one RL day isn't equitable.

As I don't have the time for this on such short notice, I'd be glad to give BA my place.

I'll take you up on that, if ESF/Valanora doesn't change their mind about the competition's size... but with Dancougar and Cassaidagua also having now expressed interest in competing, maybe they might be willing to get another nation (or two, if you really insist on dropping out) in as well and go over to four groups of five?

Note to hosts: please do not change the format for my sake. I was away over the weekend and missed signups. I had the ability to access the internet but chose not to, therefore I fail. Said comment in the OOC thread should therefore be treated as n00bish whining and responded to with a boot (or purple stinging nelly, as seems to be the latest fashion) to the head.

As there have been four additional people who have expressed their interest in participating, the filed shall be expanded to twenty (I was hoping to avoid bye days, but oh well). Draw will be done shortly and posted within the next few hours.

Hoorah!
