United Adaikes Posted November 4 Posted November 4 (logo for WCF IV will be inserted once it becomes available) Signups & OOC Thread Welcome to the World Cup of Football IV 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 who have been participants in 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 worry! To enter the World Cup of Football IV, just add a reply to this topic by saying, "I want to sign up for the World Cup of Football IV," or anything along the lines there. However, with the same rules in the RMB, we won't allow double posting (except for me to post my intentions in signing up ). 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-character) posts, like questions about the tournament. If you don't like asking questions here, you can ask them in #wcf4 and/or #sports in our RP Discord server or message me there directly. The IC (in-character) 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. The link shall be announced in Discord or viewed here in our forums soon. Also, I will be scorinating this tournament or the OOC host. As to the IC host of the tournament, Veteran Storytellers will be bidding, which the Lorekeepers and Loremasters will be selecting from the received bids. Veteran Storytellers can include in their sign-up post, or separately post, their host bid. That's all for now. Confused about how we will be doing this? New with scorinating? Taking a page from Reçu'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 the cardinal rule while RPing is "don't contradict the provided scoreline." Ah, but how is that scoreline created, you ask? With a unique piece of software called a 'scorinator.' A scorinator uses random numbers to generate a realistic score for a sporting event, considering several factors. These factors are usually 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 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 how the whole thing works that I didn't address here, feel free to message me or ask in the thread.
