no they don't. i declared it null and void as Poland is going through a strict mind discipline ritual to purge all knowledge of other influences before me.

they are learning how to truly be of use to their new OverLord.

declaration of annexation here

Also, there are plans of forced marches with wheelbarrows as we will literally be moving further SE in the future.

World Cup Captains:

England - Martin

USA - Podunk

Australia & New Zealand - Flamey

Holland - Koeniej

Scotland, Ireland + Wales - No elected captain

Belgium + France - Intense

Nordic Region - No elected captain

Canada - Alcibiades

Eastern Europe + Asia No elected captain

-

At the moment we look to have at least 60 people taking part. If a team cannot find 10 players they'll unfortunatley not be able to take part.

They should be able to play even if they don't have 10 members...

exactly what i mean. I dont understand why some countries shouldnt play cause they cant fill spots?

Is it something to do with cost? That teams should contribute the same amount, and so it would cost more per person for a smaller team and this is unfair?

How much will it cost? Maybe cost should be one BC per person. If some country has to pay less then thats fine. Because they are at a disadvantage, AND each person individually still contribute the same amount.
And if there is leftover BCs they can be incorporated into a prize/reward for winners

lol, im jumping to conclusions about the reason, but i still think cost should be 1 BC per person, rather than 10 per team. I dont think it will cost more than that, will it?

OR maybe its because it wont be a fair competition? But it would be even less fair if countries didnt even get a chance to represent themselves. Us Aussies/New Zealanders dont care if its fair or not, but we would still like to give it a shot

It's 7 BC's per team.

I'm pro "countries with less than 10 players should be able to play", it's their disadvantage really. As long as they can cough up the needed BC's and there's more than 5 of them, why not?

But maybe I'm biased since my region is having a hard time finding ten players :p

If a team is unable to fill 10 places though, whats stopping a team with 7 players giving the world pass to someone and filling their alliance when the PW is actually up and running?

I'm not against the idea of teams playing despite not having 10, they'd be massively disadvantaged, and would have to find the 7BC somehow, but there is the problem I've just described.

People's teams are posted, then locked after the world starts ticking?

Yeah, if a team gains members after the PW has started then they are disqualified and deleted.

I agree that teams who cant get a couple of members should still be able to play if they want to compete without a full team!
