From Hurrikane;

Hi Pwecka. You've said your bit. You obviously feel very strongly. It's not helping the event though.

Any other rants please use the PM facility and let's see if we can't talk this out like adults.

Hurrikane.

preferred position: Happy to do what is needed. Should be strong enough for Main if needed

[Alwyn]

BUMP for team England!

Also, DACH succesfully combined last year ... Has there ever been any talk of a Team UK/GB? (seeings as that's actually a legitimate place in the World and we compete in international events as such) I know the nations all have a rather large love/hate competitive feeling towards one another but we're stronger together than we are apart!! Unless it's Rugby.. Then down with the bastards!

Either way, I'm game.

Either way, I'm game.

I have proposed a WoF GB team for next year to coincide with Britain hosting the 2012 Olympics.

If it happens it would likely be a one-off because other than a general fall-off in our numbers this year there will always be those who would only represent their home nation team rather than play for a combined British team.

Preferred position: I'd like to do main but I'm sure those mobs are over my head for now so I'll take a Supportive Role. Availability: depends on dates/times but i should and will try to be there for all rounds also .

Question: we have 6 weeks untill WoF kicks off and we don't look like a fully united team atm, will we combine with another country or should I say nation, like scotland if this keeps up?

Ps; just some additional info, my strongest armours are, ghost, gremlin, nemesis+6A, 5B & 6B plates & I just maxed out the LR32L gun, my highest laser amp atm is A104, plus I'm a level 8 Evader as of yesterday .

 

[Oracle]

Just a bump and a reminder:

JANUARY & FEBRUARY: Recruitment, Captaincy decisions

Main 12 submitted by February 26th

At the moment we have only 10 avatars (Edit: I think now 12) signed up (unsure if Alywyn as joined us or not?) and nobody prepared to take on the role of WoF England Captain.

Some of our 10 volunteers have either ruled themselves out for our Main 12 or have limited availability.

We have four weeks left to turn things around so if you're English and want England to be represented in this year's WoF please consider signing up as soon as possible to help us get organised and mount another successful campaign.

Hello Team England and welcome to WoF 2011.

***Very Important WoF 2011 Information***
***Registration Information***
***Moblist Included***
***TimeSlot Information***
***All Teams must read***​

There’s been a slight change to the schedule. The Qualifying Stages (1+2) have been dropped for this year. We are still keeping to the calendar, so we start a little later.
I'm also having huge issues trying to make stuff bold etc... so the rest you'll just have to imagine as wonderfully set out

The first match you will play will be in the first Group Stage Stage Three It will be the first of two 1-on-1 matches on the same Moblist. These will take place on April 2nd/April 3rd (Round One) and April 16th/April 17th (Round Two).
Predicted FAQ: Yes, we’re still calling it Stage 3 even though it’s now the first one. It keeps things simple.All Registered teams will be seeded into drawn groups before the first hunts on April 2nd/April 3rd. (This post in your Team Thread only means you are waiting to be Registered; Unless you have declared your Main Team you are not Registered.)

Declaring your Main Team:
If you have not done this, please Post your Main Team List (Up to 12) on the first page of your Team Thread on this Subforum, AND send the team list to myself by PM.
This MUST be done by February 26th. Stragglers will be reminded but if you know someone who needs to know, tell them.
If you have done this, no need to do it again or PM me. (This is what happens when you copy/paste a letter to lots of people to save time) Thank you for your promptness (Talking to you, France; first team to sort things out this year).

If you need to add members to make the Main Team up to 12, then this can be done at any time up to one week before the first Match. If you need to change any of the 12, before and after the first match you must give 7 days notice, during which time the change will be scrutinised.

Seeding will be done using the results of the previous year. The plan is for six groups of three, with the top two scorers in each group going through to Stage 4. Teams will be assigned to groups in the following way; High Scorer/Middle Scorer/Low Scorer (as much as is possible). So we’ll have the underdogs aiming to grab second, the mid-level teams trying to retain their place or even worry the high scorers, who have to do what their name suggests to keep their place… should work ok.
New teams formed since last year will be given Low Scorer seeding as we have no knowledge of their scoring potential.


But as a treat to make up for these last-minute changes, I can reveal the Moblist that you will be dealing with. It’s a little bit different, a little bit the same, and as with all good Moblists, includes pain in the @$$ mobs as well as ones people like to kill.
As you take on your opponents in the two 1-on-1 Group Stage matches of Stage 3:[size=”5”] The Killing Fields[/size], you will have to be very nasty to the following:

[size=”5”]WoF 2011 Stage 3 Moblist

Main Team:

Ambulimax- Dominant and Above ; 10 points

Proteron- Any Maturity ; 9 points

Atrax- Any Maturity ; 8 points

Ambulimax- Guardian and Below ; 7 points

Armax Bull- Any Maturity ; 6 points

Armax Cow- Any Maturity ; 5 points


Support:

Argonaut – Hunter and Above ; 4 points

Formicacida – Any Maturity ; 3 points

Daikiba – Any Maturity ; 2 points

Argonaut – Raider and Below ; 1 point

Bonus Mob:
(Scores once per Nation per Hunt)

Legionnaire (Any Generation) – 25 points


Main Team size: Up to 4.
Support: Unlimited, Scoring (basic) Capped at 150

All Bonuses (Variety, Loot, HoF, Susan, ATH, Sweep, Win) apply as described in the Rules.

[color=”Darkred”]Predicted FAQ: Yes, the Sweep does involve both sexes of Armax. As always, the Sweep is ‘One of every score on the Moblist’.[/color]

Date: April 2nd/April 3rd (Round One), April 16th/April 17th (Round Two)

Start/Finish Point: Chugs’ Hideout, Eudoria. All Main Teams should reach here in good time and alert a Judge to their presence. [/size]
.

[size=”6”]Timeslots:[/size]​

Please rate the four timeslots in order of suitability and PM me your preferences AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. First come, first served with the more popular slots. We will do our best to accommodate your needs but can only fit 6 teams into each slot.

All Times are Calypso Time.

Match 1:

Saturday April 2nd

17:00, 21:00

Sunday April 3rd

09:00, 13:00

Match 2:

Saturday April 16th

17:00, 21:00

Sunday April 17th

09:00, 13:00

Each match will be scored individually and then the two scores added to give the teams a Group Stage Total.
As stated before, the top two scorers of each Group will go through to Stage 4.

So there’s something to think about for a few weeks; feel free to post practice-run scores and strike fear into your opponents

In the event of more than 18 teams registering, there will be a short elimination hunt (one-off) between all first-time attendees. Details will be posted if this occurs and all teams involved will be notified. This would happen towards the end of March. At the moment we expect 18 teams.


Thanks to our Sponsors for WoF 2011:

Stage 3:
Hunting N8 (Proteron)
Einstein (Atrax Beach)
Toad (Atrax Park)
Qetesh (Ambulimax, Armax)
Addz (Formicacida)
Fed Solo (Daikiba)
Stage 4:
Deathifier (Treasure Island and more)

All of these generous people have agreed to donate a portion of any Tournament profits to the WoF 2011 prize fund. They will also endeavour to supply the best spawns you need to get the points rolling in. Please consider their Land Areas when deciding where to hunt.

Increased sponsorship this year looks like making the SCAR prizes a bit special; the more you score, the better your reward. The SCAR will take place during Stage 4 as usual.

So there you go, that’s the drama of the WoF to come.
Will Team America (F@ck Yeahhhh!) make it a record-breaking 3 wins? Will Australia finally rock the Final? Will Eudoria beat Amethera in revenge for last year? Will Rockchick ever forgive me for dropping the Robot Stage? Turn up and see! Feel free to judge too, all hands welcome.

On a personal note, it’s great to see so many people, veterans and first-timers, signing up for WoF number five; I’ve had a lot of fun running it the last few years and it’s nice to see people still enjoying it. I’m hopeful the delayed start will give me time to get some internet sorted out and I can be on the ball with it this year, but if I can’t, I have had some lovely offers of help and have no worries that the WoF won’t run as smoothly as ever (!). I hope you all have the time of your lives and get whatever victories you seek. Thank you for your support of this, EU’s biggest event. Lock n’ load for WoF 2011.

Please contact your opponents as soon as possible and agree to timeslots for each of your two matches. Those playing the winners of the Mini-Qualifiers will not know who they face until the match on March 19th; the rest of you have a month to organise, and no excuses.

PM me as soon as you have agreed a time for each match and Judges can be arranged for you.

I apologise for the change to the calendar (I had said only two weekends in April would be used in this Stage) but each team still only has two matches to achieve their Stage Total (The combined score from both their matches).

The two highest-scoring teams in each Group will progress to Stage 4.

Main Teams MUST be finalised and PM’d to me NO LATER than March 19th.
If you do not have 12 Main Team members, don’t worry; the rest can be added with 7 days notice before each hunt.
Any changes afterwards need to be agreed by myself, and also must be announced 7 days before any hunt the new players will take part in.

Moblists and Stage rules are up, the dates are up, the Groups are up….

….Lock n Load.

Oh, and good luck.

I've just processed two applications (Alwyn, Rufen) to the WoF England forum. Sorry for the delay guys, didn't notice them.

If there's anyone else not signed up, please do apply for the private forum (User CP -> Permission Groups -> Join Group button on WoF England). And then make sure you're subscribed to the main WoF England 2011 thread in there - we'll probably do any organising that's needed there.

Still room for more players, old and new alike.

 

[Clam Jamphrie]

Tally Ho!

Oi Oi England!

Have you shoe-horned somebody into the Captains roll yet?

As you probably know your first match is against the mighty Eudoria!

We would like to suggest the 17:00 kick off time for that match as it is the time slot that our team (of seven - including support) can make it and it should be a fine time for all those jolly good fellows in Team England.

What say you?
