Do we want to hold an AOCAF 36 following World Cup 61?

If so, we should start entertaining bids. I also have no problem hosting if you guys want another AOCAF this offseason. Please discuss.

The Falcanian National Football Team seeks to improve on its impressive second-to-last-place finish.

Posted by: Kiryu-shi Jul 1 2012, 05:05 PM
I'd be interested, I'm having fun RPing the CoH and have a few ideas I'd like to play around with before the next world cup. And with the signup influx recently, I think it'd be nice to have a tournament to join for newer nations.

Posted by: Geisenfried Jul 1 2012, 06:19 PM
Why not? You can count me in, if we're going to do it.

Posted by: Israeli Apartheid Client-State Jul 1 2012, 08:14 PM
Very, very interested.

Posted by: Andossa Se Mitrin Vega Jul 2 2012, 01:25 AM
D&S and I will both take part.

Posted by: Vilita Jul 2 2012, 05:03 AM
With no discerning votes so far I will turn this into a signup thread, and announce my intention to bid using the VSS Scorinator


The format will be standard with a group stage, single round robin advancing to an 8, 12 (with byes) or 16 team single elimation knockout stage depending on the final number of signups.

Returning and hoping to improve upon my 2 and 8 record

Posted by: Starblaydia Jul 2 2012, 08:42 AM
Oh, go on then, we'll join in smile.gif Despite being out of the Top 10 in regional rankings for the first time since our debut in AOCAF Cup 2!!

Having it in Vilita ain't so bad either

Posted by: The Bear Islands Jul 2 2012, 09:15 AM
The Bear Islands will sign up yet again, and this time around I should actually be able to find enough time in which to RP for them.


Armed Beers is/are available if the numbers need increasing to a "suitable" total, but won't sign up otherwise.

Posted by: Osarius Jul 2 2012, 10:57 AM
Yeah sure. Once I've figured out who I'm gonna make the next national team manager and stuff, we'll be down... assuming I don't sack him after the WCQs.

Posted by: Pacitalia Jul 2 2012, 02:32 PM
Pacitalia (and Scandonia if numbers require a filler) are in.

Posted by: Ipeland Jul 2 2012, 04:01 PM
Ipeland sign-up.

Hutt River is available to make up the numbers.

Posted by: Legalese Jul 2 2012, 04:12 PM
Of course I'm in.

Posted by: Pacitalia Jul 2 2012, 05:04 PM
Link to the new rankings (or post them)?

Posted by: Naitpyge Jul 2 2012, 05:45 PM
Oh heck, why not.

Posted by: West Guiana Jul 2 2012, 07:37 PM
After re-thinking, i'm in.

Posted by: New Pebble Island Jul 3 2012, 06:17 PM
Roar A.F.C. (Leorudian National Team) makes it's inagural appearance.

Posted by: 95X-Scottfire Jul 4 2012, 02:52 PM
95X will make another return! We're already working on assembling a team that will hopefully get more than one win this time around! smile.gif

Posted by: Wight Jul 4 2012, 03:30 PM
I would be interested in this, of course.

Posted by: The Islands of Qutar Jul 4 2012, 04:01 PM

I'll put the new rankings up, once I'm back from visiting home

Posted by: Thatius Jul 5 2012, 09:14 AM
Thatius signs up for our first AOCAF!

Posted by: Monizhamena Jul 5 2012, 02:16 PM
Thanks for being mentioned on the OP already.....

However, as per formality...

Monizhamena signs up biggrin.gif

Posted by: Monizhamena Jul 5 2012, 02:25 PM

There's celebration at the fact that we're not stone last! We beat the nuclear fallout zone!

Posted by: The Islands of Qutar Jul 8 2012, 06:46 AM
Signs up The Islands of Qutar in the event of numbers being needed

Posted by: Dorian and Sonya Jul 8 2012, 11:00 PM
Wow. havent been on this forum in ages. D&S signing up

Posted by: Vilita Jul 9 2012, 08:58 PM
Since the WC isn't starting anytime soon, i'll slow roll this so the DBC can get rolling first so we aren't overloading RP's between the two tournies, and shoot to get started over the weekend.

There will be a hard cap at 32 nations, and the tourney will have either 30 or 32 teams. Right now we have 27 and I will fill any remaining spots at the time of the group draw (Friday maybe?) with the 'in case' puppets people have mentioned in their posts

Posted by: Pacitalia Jul 9 2012, 09:09 PM
Let's try and make it 32 folks!

That'd be ace, thanks.

Can we just add Deep Fried Pickles to the list, seeing as they've been trying to get on the forum for a while for the purpose of signing up?

They haven't even signed up for a forum account yet

Posted by: Vilita Jul 17 2012, 07:54 AM
Look for the thread tomorrow or Thursday at the latest, with a draw thursday or Friday and getting started at the end of the weekend

Posted by: Israeli Apartheid Client-State Jul 17 2012, 01:57 PM
Thanks for doing this, Vilita!

Posted by: Bazalonia Jul 19 2012, 04:15 AM
What the heck - Bazalonia signs up.

Posted by: Vilita Jul 19 2012, 04:56 AM
That takes us to 32 including 4 fillers.

That means the AOCAF is full, however, 4 more signups can still be accepted up until the group draw. So if you haven't signed up yet, do so in the next 24 hours or so!!

Posted by: Gallund Jul 19 2012, 06:25 AM
We shall join.

With no rank?

Pffffffffft

Fine, my fault. I was away all week but it's not as if I didn't have access to the internet. Audioslavia will happily take a last-ditch spot in the AOCAF if it's still available. If I have to take a rank of zero then fine, I'll just have to RP my team suffering from a crippling sense of ennui, brought on by abstract airborne diseases caused by Wight's sudden appearance in the region.

If in doubt, blame Wight \o/

Armed Beers is/are available if the numbers need increasing to a "suitable" total, but won't sign up otherwise.

Per this clear intention to not sign up unless absolutely necessary (and the fact Armed Beers is 46 days inactive...), The 'Armed Beers' Slot in the cup has been vacated to allow a beaten, possibly drunk, and certainly depleted Audioslavia team to take their place, a mere shadow of the team that one the previous AOCAF Cup - in fact, they looked like mere n00bs during practice, and didn't even show up in Crosaibi until the morning of the first match....
