    Gratitude thread

    Firstly, I thank @Saint Mark. I joined NS at the time of Halo's reign as Delegate. He showed me that there was a lot more of NS beyond issues, and encouraged me to become a citizen and join the Discord server and forums. Although the delegate change happened not much time after that, I still remember Halo's delegacy, and I thank him for helping me.

    I also thank @Ark for introducing me to Foreign Affairs, which was the first ministry I decided to join, and I thank @Bran Astor for being an amazing Delegate and helping me with the Speaker position after I was elected, such as giving me ideas on how to start the Regional Commendations.

    Furthermore, I also thank @Reçueçn, @Elegarth, @TUMS and @Mediobogdum for being Trading Cards players that constantly trade cards with me and help keep the TWP Card Channel in Discord active. From all these card farmers, I think I should especially thank @Reçueçn for also encouraging me when I was seeking the last cards for my TWP S1 collection, giving me ideas to contact the players who had these rare cards, and showing me some tools to make card farming faster and less boring.

    It is important to say, though, that those are all individual players. I thank the West Pacific as a whole for being a wonderful region! Without you all, TWP wouldn't be the same.

    Third Place Playoff - Win

    Giovanniland 6-3 Dalimbar

    Drop Goals: Zodeno Abudia-Lukullo (33')

    Penalty Kicks: Petro Numeriani (69')

    First Half: Having lost the semifinals to Fujai, the Giovannilandians still wanted a place on the podium, so they had to win this match for 3rd place. Soon in the start, Giovanni Vespasio injured a Dalimbari player pretty badly, and thus was sent off, with the Dalimbari scoring 3 points due to the penalty kick. With one man down, the Giovannilandians had to be even more careful in the defense. After some time, Zodeno scored a drop goal, turning the match into a draw again, which stood at half-time. 

    Second Half: For a good chunk of the second half, nothing much happened, as both teams defended with strength. However, a confusion involving two Giovannilandians and a Dalimbari player was solved with the Dalimbari being sent off and a penalty kick awarded to Giovanniland. The young Petro Numeriani did not waste the chance, and earned 3 points for Giovanniland, which, after some uneventful last 10 minutes, got the team the 3rd place in the world cup.

    Post-Match: With the tourney coming to an end, the coaches consider the Giovannilandian 3rd place very successful, also because this was Giovanniland's first rugby world cup of its history. On the other match, Hertfordshire and Jammbo got their title after defeating Fujai in overtime.

    Semifinals - Loss

    Fujai 10-0 Giovanniland 

    First Half: In the semifinals, the Giovannilandian team would play against a known opponent from the group stage. With both defensive teams against each other, the match did not have much action on the first half. All attempts, whether if they were Giovannilandian or Fujansk, did not result in anything as the defenses were effective in blocking attacks.

    Second Half: The timer was closer to the end, the players were more nervous, and the supporters of both sides cheered even harder. But nothing. Not even on the second half. It looked like it would have to be solved in extra time, and so it went.

    Extra time: The first extra time in all of this TWP Rugby World Cup was about to happen, with two halves of 10 minutes each. Like in the 80 previous minutes, the teams continued their attacks, but sadly (for the Giovannilandians), a Fujansk player broke the defense and scored a try near the end of the first 10 minutes. Giovanniland tried desperately to level the game again. The exhausted Giovannilandian defense, however, let one more try from Fujai to slip through, and it was game over. 

    Post-Match: While Hertfordshire and Jammbo and Fujai play for the title, the Giovannilandians will play against Dalimbar, who lost to H&J in the other semifinal. How will it go? The coaches congratulated the players even with the loss, and hope the team gets a 3rd place in the next match.

    Appreciating the establishment of the Protect our Players Accord by the Holy Principality of Saint Mark, which created a fun and safe environment for all.

    Not sure if this was already suggested, but I think that is illegal under Rule 4(c) - You cannot refer to the game, or events or actions in it, as part of a game. I think referring to nations as players is akin to referring to the NS universe as a game.
