NationStates Jolt Archive

There are open spaces for 8 nations to play. I am Bureaucracia, the Commissioner, who will decide the scores.

AHEM

AHEM

AHEM

We'll sign up. Sporkeric needs to get international attention.

OK, Sporkeric.

Communist Louisiana will sign up.

OK, Communist Louisiana!

The first matchup is announced:

Sporkeric vs. Communist Louisiana

Well, despite the small interest in basketball on our island, we've noticed there is also a small interest in the International basketball tournament, so on that note, you can set up our nation as a competitor while we start teaching some tall kids the basics of basketball....

OK, Opal Isle.

Well, will more people sign up?

Try to bump it during the day.

Good idea.

Pythagorean is in.

Helvitia Would Love to Attend

The Nation of Sonju would love to play some b-ball:)

As Greece has a great history with B-Ball (2nd only to the US), we will sign up.

Procco has a very fine basketball team. Please accept us.

I think you already have 8 but if you accept one more, we would love to attend. We were looking to invest in our youth, and you found us the solution. Sports!

If Procco is not able to attend for any reason whatsoever, Ruissia can take our place

Final matchups:

Sporkeric vs. Communist Louisiana
The Hellenic Empire vs. Procco
Sonju vs. Opal Isle

Matchups today:

Pythagorean vs. Opal Isle
Communist Louisiana vs. Procco

Oooh, for the finals match can we details for all four quarters? And you actually post them like 15-20 minutes apart? That'd be neat.

It'd also be neat if Opal Isle made it to finals. Our mascot is the monkey. Goooooooooooo! MONKEYS!! ...wait, wasn't that a band??

In honor of the success of the Opal Isle's International Basketball success thus far, the Enlightened Dictator vetoed laws prohibiting nudity. Citizens were seen dancing in the streets and playing in the fountains at Trinalda, the nation's capitol, in the nude. It was mostly the islands young, beautiful women, fortunately.

FINAL score-

The winner, who will advance to the June 2004 Nationstates World Basketball Finals, is.............

PYTHAGOREAN!

Score: Pythagorean 86, Opal Isle 76

Louisiana's team is the Rajun Cajun's.

LOL

The Enlightened Dictator of Opal Isle would like to file two formals complaints.

One against Pythagorean for using our power foward, against us, at the same time we were using him.

The other against Communist Louisiana for not coming up with a unique, original mascot. (OOC: UL Lafeyette, etc. or is it Monroe?)

...and in other news, the people of Trinaldo put their clothes back on and went home, muttering "Eh, screw you guys. I'm going home."

OCC: Lafeyette. Who cares if it isnt original.

...and in other news, the people of Trinaldo put their clothes back on and went home, muttering "Eh, screw you guys. I'm going home."

Remember, you might want to enter your team in for the July World Basketball Championship!

Opal Isle you should begin a beting ring or a pool. Make some serious money. :P

OOC: And money is good, right? I mean, being a commy you must just absolutely LOVE money, eh? ....good job RPing.

thats why i said YOU SHOULD. My nation doesnt need money we have enough.

Pregame:

Here we are at the Communist Louisiana SuperDome, home of Communist Louisiana's world basketball team, for the 2nd part of the Semi-Finals as Communist Louisiana takes on Procco. The player to watch today is Pat Arquero of Procco. Even though he IS a ball-hog, he is still a great ballplayer. Let's start the game.

Well, money isn't really a necessity on Opal Isle. Just be nude, don't kill monkeys, and hang out on the beach with hot chicks and pirates!

Ok I have a new team name.

Crazy Coonasses

It's the end of the 1st quarter.

Communist Louisiana 2, Procco 14

--NO STATS FOR THIS GAME--

Commentary: Well, maybe Communist Louisiana should try a different method of basketball, this one ain't working! Procco is playing a great game, stealing the ball 10 TIMES in the first quarter. CL stole it 1 time, and failed to score on the possession.

Halftime!

Communist Louisiana 26, Procco 36

Comments: CL doesn't look like they're going to win this game. It's like they completely fell apart, which they pretty much did. 2 of their players are injured and one is playing a horrible game. If CL wins this game, call it a miracle.

*Puts on big RED foam finger, shouting "CL!CL!CL!" with a red hammer and sickle painted on chest.*

3rd quarter has ended.

Communist Louisiana 38, Procco 50

Comments: It's pretty much over for CL. Unless miracles happen, Procco will be going to the finals and facing Pythagorean.

ULTRABUMP

FINAL-

The team going on to the June 2004 World Championship Finals is...

PROCCO!

Final- Communist Louisiana 52, Procco 66

Postgame:

Everything proved useless for CL, even a change in playing style, as Procco proved to have the better team. Say, coach of Procco, what do you have to say?

"We stuck together and won in the end."

And coach of CL, what do you have to say?

"No comment."

Pregame:

We are at the Bureaucracia Municipal Stadium, home to the 2004 NationStates Basketball Championship Finals! The stadium holds 35,000 people. Playing in the finals are:

Pythagorean (2-0) and Procco (2-0).

The crowd appears to be mixed on rooting for Pythagorean or Procco. On one half of the stadium, people are shouting "PROCCO! GO PROCCO!" and on the other half, people are shouting "GO PYTHAGOREAN!"

And we're ready to start the game.

Wait... WHAT IS THIS?

The Score-Tronic hanging from the center of the stadium has shorted, and is on fire!

The championship game is POSTPONED until we're on the Jolt boards.
