World Cup of Football III
Please do not post in this thread if you are not a participant. Also, no OOC posts, please.
 
Welcome to the World Cup of Football III! This is an international association football/soccer tournament. If you are a participant, you can post about your nation's football/soccer team (logo, players, kits, and other related information). You can also post about your team's preparations for this event!
Another essential thing to include in your roster post is the "role play permissions." If you want to role-play while making sure that the other RPer(s) won't do inevitable things you don't want to happen to your team, you can post these below outlining what the other RPers can or cannot do, for example:
RP permissions: If my opponent RPs first, they may... Injure my players: yes/no Assign my players yellow cards: yes/no Assign my players red cards: yes/no Godmod injuries: yes/no Godmod scoring: yes/no Godmod other events: yes/no  
The last three permissions, godmodding, is the role-playing of unrealistic or unbelievable things happening. So, if you want a more realistic experience for your team (and what we hopefully want in the games for the tournament), you can ask other RPers not to godmod in your matches. You can also add, leave, or remove any role permissions you want. It's your team, so we will let you dictate how your team plays (as long as it is realistic).
Also, you can include what we call a "style modifier." This is a number between -5 and +5, indicating whether you are a defensive (leaning to negative numbers) or an offensive (leaning to positive numbers) team. If you don't put one, you'll automatically get a neutral modifier (0.00), which is fine.
There will be three (3) attributes that will determine the skill of a team for the scorinator (xkoranate): base skill, RP post bonuses, and roster bonus. 30% of the base skill and 70% of the total of the RP post bonuses and roster bonus will be the basis for the skill attribute of a team in the scorinator.
The base skill will be from the latest Football Rankings managed by the Federal Republic of the United Adaikes. NPCs will have their base skill halved in the scorinator during the whole duration of the tournament.
As this is a sports RP event, all RPs made by a participant will be given a bonus. However, we believe in "Quality over quantity". It does not mean that a participant with the most number of RP posts in the tournament will have the highest RP bonus. It should be known that multiple posts of a participant before a specific matchday will only be credited to that incoming matchday alone, except for posts about the team roster, as it is also a different RP bonus attribute.
For RP posts, the highest score that a participant can receive in a specific matchday is 1 point, with the lowest score being 0.1, based on the quality of the current best RP for that matchday, as determined by the OOC host. On succeeding matchdays, the RP bonus received from the previous matchdays will be accumulated to the total RP post bonus.
The roster bonus is about your team (as mentioned above, the logo, players, kits, and any other related information). Participants posting only the starting XI of their team will only receive 0.5 points. Posting 27 or more players will receive 1 point. Anything between 12-26 will have 0.70 points. The roster bonus will be doubled if a participant submits comprehensive team information (with team logo and kit(s) at the minimum, receiving at least a 1.2x multiplier for the bonus).
With this, may I request that the post regarding your roster is posted first and that your RP for the first matchday be separate.
If you have any questions, you can always ask me in Discord. You can DM me or drop your question in #wcf3 of the RP server. You can also ask me in the OOC thread.
 
Note: Reserving posts are only for the IC host (Ryxtylopia) and OOC host (United Adaikes).

Hey Everyone!! I am Josi and I have been assigned as the Europeian Ambassador to The West Pacific!! I look forward getting to know you all and representing the Republic.

Notwithstanding state run infrastructure, the nation remains overwhelmingly dedicated to free open market competition, and as such it remains very business friendly and attracts substantial foreign investments.
Much of the Apexialas early trading was in the export of tropical produce & livestock, however this has diversified substantially over the last several decades.
Various other sectors also contribute to imports & exports, including manufacturing, automobiles, petrochemicals, electrical equipment, technology, medical equipment & medicines, and many more.
The nation also has a well established Financial sector, which helps it to remain well placed on the international economic stage.
