Hey!
I'd rather be in a deserted island. How about you? Drop your comments below!

We continue!!
Well, for me, this is hard. I learned speaking Korean and playing drums and guitar without no one else teaching me.
I'd go for all languages!

Fourth week! You choose!
I like history, so I'd choose to go back in time.
How about you? Share your thoughts!

Well? Specifically, it's either which position lets you sleep fast, or which position do you remember you were in before you went to dreamland, or the best position you would like. Comment down below!
As for me, I remember being on the side (facing right) more times before I get to sleep.

Another week, another poll!! If you don't like the choices, comment down below which one you like.
I'm a dog person.

May 22, 1421 8:52 PM IAT; Faltech Arena, San Dojas
Some 60, 000 fans - the majority are Larxians - are going wild with the game playing for the last ball of the 16th over. The winner of this game will take bragging rights as a finalist and even win the tournament. King James and President Luke Salazar are watching the game together. The Adaikesians won the toss and chose the Larxians to bat first. The host, the Larxians, have scored 131 runs, their lowest in the whole duration of the tournament, but are still feeling good with their chances. The Adaikesians, hoping they get what they want from this game and this tournament.
The Larxian team has already taken out 9 Adaikesian players, while the Steelbats only need three more runs to win the game. The only Steelbats players left are their captain, Wynne Albrekktson, already with 77 runs scored, and the youngest, Arnaldo Dolezal, with 11 runs scored. Dolezal will be batting for this last ball. It's now or never. Dolezal knows that if he gets himself out, the game will be over, and the highest place they can get will be the 3rd place only. If he can get another run, it's either they win it and proceed to the championships, or they continue playing for more opportunities while limiting not to play risky.
The Larxian player bowls. Dolezal waits for the right moment. The ball bounces off from the ground. Dolezal times it perfectly and swings his bat. The ball flies away in the northeastern direction. Dolezal is anxious as he feels the ball flew low. Albrekktson has his hands up in the air. Every fan is shouting at the top of their lungs, the Larxian fans hoping their fielder would catch it, the Adaikesian fans hoping it will pass the boundary. A Larxian fielder near the boundary tries to catch the ball. He jumps. But the ball is still higher from his middle finger. The Larxian fielder missed! The ball passes the boundary! That gives them six more runs! The Steelbats are going to the championship game! Dolezal drops to his knees, crying tears of joy! The lad just felt the pressure he was feeling throughout the game left him! The whole team runs to Dolezal! Albrekktson, who was nearer, tackled and hugged Dolezal from the ground!
"A hell of a game, Your Majesty!" an aide heard Salazar tell King James. The two world leaders shook hands. "I'll see you in New Larxia tomorrow, Mr. President," King James replied.

May 18, 1421 5:45 PM IAT; right after the Cambrian captain was interviewed
Albrekktson gave Kane Finch a dap and a pound hug after he was interviewed. Before the interviewer could asked a question, Albrekktson started, "Our hearts and thoughts to everyone in Cambria, especially to what happened. Props to the Cambrian team for coming out to play, and playing strong with us today despite of what happened."
"We were lucky there at the end," Albrekktson replied when asked about the final outcome of the game. "If there was another over played," he continued, "they could've won the game easily. This stage has brought the best eight teams, and of course, everyone's bringing their A-game and doing their best, and that there should be no complacency towards any opponents even if we're leading as long as we are still playing."
"The coaching staff were looking at the scenarios last night," Albrekktson answered about the team going forward and advancing to the knock-outs, "and while we got 2 wins here in Super Eight, we're hoping Nieubasria win their last two games, regardless of the outcome of our game with the Fhaengshians. We dislike having to tie with the others as we know everyone will be in a sticky position, and that feeling that you gave your best in this tournament, only to be eliminated because of a tiebreaker. So yeah, the team does not like the idea tying with the other teams."

May 16, 1921 9:25 PM IAT; ZCA Stadium, Zancoudo; after the Basric captain was interviewed
"We had good batting," Albrekktson replied, when asked about being the last two players left before winning the game, "but, yep, we need to tone down with being risky with our runs. We'll also need to do better in the next games, especially when we're facing the Cambrians next. We're going to watch tapes of some of their games and see what we can get and capitalize with our practice tomorrow and in the game."

May 14, 1421 5:45 PM IAT; right after the Denieria captain was interviewed
"We're hoping Larxia would win the next game," Albrekktson replied while smiling, when asked about the future of the Steelbats, "we're not loving our chances if we are going to have a three-team tie. Heck, we made sure to win because we don't like tying with others."
10:00 PM IAT
"We might have already played some games," Coach Laud replied over the phone, when asked about their team's chances in the Super Eight, "but the competition starts at this stage. Top 2 teams from each groups, and for this group, we got 3 Polarii teams. We'll surely give everyone a run for their money in the next days."

May 12, 1421 9:25 PM IAT; right after the Santos-Dominius captain was interviewed
"Well, what I said after the first game was actually the plan for this game," Albrektsson replied, when asked about their win. "It's always a wonderful feeling getting the whole opposing team all out and not finish their innings," he added, "the focus on bowling and fielding in our last practice really paid for us. But, we want to be the all-around team on our last game for the First Round that would let us advance to the Super Eight."
When asked about the reason Coach Laud held the team up until around 10:30 last time, Albrektsson replied, "It's just the reminders Coach had for the team, and the expectations for this game and the coming ones. We'll surely bring the momentum we had from tonight, roll through it in tomorrow's practice, iron what needs ironing, and continue with it in the next games."
After the players had their showers and changed to their formals to return to their hotel, they were surprised to see Coach Laud already waiting for them in the bus, fast asleep.

May 10, 2021 9:15 PM IAT; right after the end of the game
"We batted well," Wynne Albrektsson started, when asked how he felt after the first official international game for the United Adaikes National Cricket Team, "but we bowled and fielded awfully, that's what I want to say. We're surely going to the field tomorrow to do some bowling and fielding."
When asked about their next game with Santos-Dominius, Albrektsson replied, "We've seen a little action from them earlier, they played good. But of course, the coaching staff might have already seen something that we can capitalize during our game and get us that victory. And that'll be one thing we'll be exploiting in the practice field tomorrow, aside from bowling and fielding."
9:20 PM IAT; in the locker room of the Steelbats
"I know that this is everyone's first official international game," Noel Laud, the head coach, points to everyone angrily, with the redness in his face visible because of his anger, "I won't name names, but where is your professionalism?! Get your head in the game when you're playing!! The youngster can even humiliate some of you because of his attitude even if he's just new to the game!"
All the players can agree that this was the first time they saw Laud throw a fit to everyone, knowing that their coach is someone who is soft-spoken. It was only about 10:30 PM when the team left the arena for their hotel.

Dear Leaders and Citizens of Esferos,
The Leaders of Giovanniland and Blue Bubble would like to welcome you to the II Summer Esferiad, hosted within Quoriv & Kharventhin as well as other cities across our glorious nations.
The II Summer Esferiad has given our nations an opportunity. An opportunity to highlight what Lavender Island holds. An opportunity to mark our relations as positive worldwide for the first time in history. An opportunity to show our citizens that we are strong together. During our bid, we realised what we wanted these games to mean to us - Friendship born from Rivalry, Individuality born from Belief, Trust born from Understanding. Our teamwork has risen from ashes of two nations who have a long history, and we are hoping to become fruitful from this labour.
We would also like to thank the Esferiad committee for accepting our bid, and we hope that these games will inspire you, readers, to continue the ideals we have come to realise are our greatest strengths and of which we have chosen to highlight in our time of hosting this worldwide event. Friendship. Individuality. Trust.
We hope you enjoy the Games and our Nations,
Kassakira Petrovikan, Leader of Blue Bubble
King Giovanni VI, Monarch of Giovanniland
