2nd World Cup of Football

Signups & OOC Thread

I've been asked multiple times when we're doing this, but I think, it's the best time we do this. :D

Welcome to the 2nd World Cup of Football for the TWP RP world of Esferos and its nations as we bring the most popular sport in the world right here in our forums! For those that have been participants of previous sports roleplay (the Rugby World Cups, the Summer Esferiads, among others), then you know there will be something like this. For those that have not, don't you worry!

To enter the 2nd World Cup of Football, just add a reply to this topic by saying "I want to sign up for the 2nd World Cup of Football", or anything along the lines there. Though, same with the RMB, we won't allow double posting (except for me to post my intentions in signing up :D). You can always edit your reply at any given time how many times you want. Also, this thread is for signups and OOC (out of context) posts, like questions about the tournament. If you don't like asking questions here, you can ask them in #sports in our RP Discord server or message me there directly. The IC (in context) thread where we will be posting our nations' team information (players, kits, logo, anything related to such), roleplay (preparations, match day events), and results will be separate and shall have the link be announced in Discord or can be viewed here in our forums starting 11/6/2022.

Also, I will be scorinating this tournament, and once in a blue moon, we have already selected the host for this international sporting event (to be announced on 11/5/2022).

That's all for now. Confused about how we will be doing this? New with scorinating? Taking a page from Resu's book, read below.

Spoiler

Sports rp is a special kind of roleplay where rather than the roleplayers deciding what happens, the results are generated first and then the stories are created by the players after the fact to fit the results. This means that the cardinal rule while rp'ing is don't contradict the provided scoreline.

Ah, but how is that scoreline created, you ask? With a special piece of software called a 'scorinator.' A scorinator uses random numbers to generate a realistic score for a sporting even, taking into account several factors. These factors usually are rank and roleplay. If the competitors have competed in the past and established before which teams are stronger, that can be reflected by assigning those teams a rank. The scorinator will then provide realistic results where the stronger team is more likely to win. On the other hand, teams can be given an rp bonus as well. RP bonus is a tool used to encourage people to roleplay in the competition. The user scorinating the competition will read rps and give a bonus to each team according to the roleplay it wrote, slightly boosting its performance in the scorinator. However, this doesn't mean that if you roleplay you will win, and you should always roleplay because it's fun, not because you want the bonus. 

Results will be scorinated one matchday at a time to allow people to roleplay about each game. If you have any other questions about the whole thing works that I didn't address here, feel free to message me or ask in the thread.

Signups for the 2nd World Cup of Football is now over!

To make it 24 teams, I have included Alchera, an NPC nation from Andolia, also the lowest-ranked NPC in World Football rankings.

This OOC channel will still remain open for discussions and questions related to the tournament.
