I would certainly be happy to volunteer for the Australian team if the other Aussies will have me (Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi)

find three more and when the sign up forum comes up shoot me an email

Here are the rules as of right now if anyone is wondering



World Cup Format
You have 4 player teams:

2 Standard Diplomacy Players
1 Public Press
1 Gunboat.

Teams each represent one country, however you may have many teams from the same country.
If there are fewer than four players from a particular country, you can create groups of countries that play as if they were a single country.

You have either 14 or 21 teams. There may be swing teams necessary to make it up to one of those numbers.

You have 2/3 Groups of Seven. The teams in a group play games against each other:

2 Standard (1 per standard player)
1 Public Press
2 Gunboats (both played by the same player)

The games are anonymous, to avoid metagaming from same country teams or from swing teams.

The points are scored as follows.

420 for a win
420/n for a draw
0 for defeat.

Plus the SC count (any win has an SC count of 18)

With half-points for the Gunboat games

Then:

If 2 Groups, top 3 non swing teams plus better point scoring 4th non swing team from the 2 groups.

If 3 Groups, top 2 non swing teams in each group plus best point scoring 3rd place team from the 3 groups.

Go through to the final.

In the final, the same thing takes place again, so it is like one of the groups. The winner of that wins. In the event of a tie, the team that scored more in the group stage wins."

i'd like to play in any of the following 3 teams;

USA South (I currently reside in Florida)
USA East (My permanent home is the DC metro area)
or Middle East (if there are 3 other players of middle eastern descent that would be cool)

Middle East would be cool too

USA MIDWEST ALL THE WAY, IT'S COW TIPPING TIME!

US West! I want in on this!

Let's show the world that we're not ALL potheads and gangsters and shallow jerks out here in the West!

(Most of us maybe... but not all...) ;)

i might add middle east in there in place of london. the number of teams has to be either 14 or 21

NOOOO!
There are loads of London based players (I can name 4) and there should definitely be a team for the most successful city in the world

ok then we might have to get enough teams for 21 teams. we will just have to see

I would like to play in an Australian team.

talk to the other australians then and get it together.

there are 2 players ready for a Greek team (including me) and a third one is about to join the site. One note thought. All of them are anarchists so I'm not sure if they are willing to play as Greece :P

I'd join a Canadian team. ^^ And you've forgotten Asia, if we have any Asian players. I'm of Asian decent. =]

Ah, I see. I'm Honduran but am also of Spaniard descent so I at least want to start a Spaniard team.
