I really know a player of San Marino, but he is inactive from 1 h...

Looks like we'll have 1 substitute (if all agree)

Lithuania will play!

looking for a nation that need to 1/2 player of another nation.

These teams participated last time:

1. Norway
2. baltic States
3. Poland 1
4. Poland 2
5. Poland 3 (withdrew after round 1)
6. Netherlands and flanders 1
7. Netherlands and flanders 2
8. Canada
9. Brazil
10. China 1 (withdrew after round 2)
11. China 2 (withdrew after round 1)
12. Serbia
13. USA Central 1
14. USA Central 2
15. USA Great Lakes (withdrew after round 1)
16. USA East 1
17. USA East 2 (withdrew after round 2)
18. USA West
19. Italy
20. Britain and Ireland 1
21. Britain and Ireland 2
22. Switzerland (withdrew after round 1)
23. France 1
24. France 2
25. Germany
26. Israel
27. New Zealand
28. South America

The teams that withdrew will have their reasons for it, but without those teams there are 22 "active" teams. Those active teams unfortunatly have some inactive players, so also need to be filled up a bit. This is not a big problem because if it becomes 5v5 then the teams have to lose 2 players anyway.
If we are going to do brackets then we will need 32 teams. That is 10 more (or we cut down to 16, then we need to trow some away)
@Gnuffone, you see there is an italian team (with only italian players), try to contact them. (http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread?ThreadID=3864&Offset=180)

If the active teams all participate again we still need 10 more teams.The countries with 2 teams will most likely be able to make 3 teams now. (it used to be 7v7 so 2 players per team out, then you only need 1 more player) that would give us 5 more teams. If some new teams can be made or some teams that withdrew can come back to live and participate, then I think we can make it to those 32 teams.

@min34, the problem is that the player of that team will not play.
-trillusa is inactive.
-flybender don't want play WL during summer
-red is boring of WL
so i was thinking to do like Italy+another nation...

So should GB and Ireland make 3? We have enough.

Greybeard I will take part for UK.

Min, I don't think you should be so quick to say that existing teams "have to lose 2 players" (which also means two old teams won't automatically become three new teams).

The way I look at it is that one of the important lessons from last time is that having substitute players is very important. Since there are also players who prefer only playing 1vs1 (or, alternatively, only like playing team games), my recommendation would be to try for seven (maybe even eight?) players per team. Teams with "only" five players should probably still be allowed to participate, but actively encouraging teams to be as small as possible seems like a bad idea.

Look at last time: 8 out of 28 teams withdrew halfway through..., that's not good! And I think one of the reasons the tournament dragged on for so long is the enormous amount of time (and effort) it sometimes took to get (a set of) games even started. Don't you remember what a pain it was to get line-ups for each team every round? With spare players, that should be far less of a problem. And if we can keep the pace up a little more, it will probably also be much easier to keep people interested!

o.O

both chinese teams dropped out? does that meant there are no active chinese players?
i know two really good chinese players, Bumblebee and Ninja, but I havent heard from them from a long time. Can i join another nation then?

I'm part Australian, but is there an Aus team?

I don't know who are in south america team, but if they need one more i can join.

I will play for whichever part of the US you put Texas in.

@Gnuffone, I realise that there are problems with the Italian team. Join with your alts and fill up the places :p. Jk, to be honest I expected that you knew some more italian people, but if there aren't much more of them then you indeed should go with another country. The problem is that there isn't another country that speaks Italian that could belong to your team. Maybe try to combine with Switzerland , but the problem is that it isn't really an Italian team (or a team with people who speak italian). In the last cup we tried to keep them apart, but for italy there aren't really much countries that can join. Serbia is already a team on it's own, but maybe you can try to find other joegoslavian countries to fill up your team. If anybody is against that, then they should speak. For me it is not a problem, but other might think different.

@RvW, I know that I speak to fast, but it is supposted to be 5v5. I think that it is indeed smart to keep 7 players or so, but on the other hand, if you want to see wich nation is the best then it also comes to how people can play in different situations. If you only like 1vs1 and only play those, you might be happier, but it doesn't really show everything of your country. It is in my eyes also a bit needed that you can play other styles (Don't get mad at me now, Piggy) Having reserves is ok, but only put them in when other players are inactive or on vacation. That is what I would say. I think that the most will like the idea of 7 players or so who can decided what they play (I can't say I dislike it :D) but I try to keep it as "fair" as possible. I understand your point and I think it is the smartest thing to do, but IMO it is not the best way to get the "fair" results

@YAAT, there isn't an Australian team, but try making one. Or try to contact players from the other Chinese teams, I'm sure that those two teams together have enough players to make one new team now.

@Tenshi: I don't know either who are in that team. the problem is a bit that the sign-up thread for the teams (wich contained all the teams and players + captains) is gone.

@Turing: You also posted that question in the previous nation cup thread. It seems that Texas is in west USA. They used troll's earth map to determine that.

ok i will try to make a team. BUt i don't want join with some random italian people never see :D

Min can you say to me which players were in the dutch/flamish teams were. It can also in a game if you don't want to say here and maybe we can find some more dutch players you or I did not know about

I'm slightly too busy at the moment to organise a GB team, but I'll definitely sign up for it (obviously for Team GB & Eire).

the dutch players were:
Veelvraat
Oliebol
Frankdeslimste
Moros
Min34
RvW
Monkey
Kingu
Math Wolf (who is from belgium I believe)
Stijnjozef2
Emilio
Lolgast
Simondutchskills
Domenico (currently inactive)
Envaeronment
Sneaky... (I kinda forgot the rest of his name....)

I believe that is all that participated.
For now we have some new people that might want to participate:
Aranka (or did she participate already? I'm not sure anymore)
dutch Desire
Powerneg
Epaminondas/Sarutobi (if he can't get any other belgian players)
Jannes the conqueror
bhklahgil.

I know about a clan called {dutchman} and I'm assuming they are all dutch. At least that is what proturio told me. I've also heard that Hynkel is dutch, but his name sounds quite german to me. We could contact them and seek for some other dutch guys.

people on west usa please join the game i made in the multiday sections or post here if you want to join the team, im looking for decent players

I know about the dutchman clan and for so far I know all are dutch. here my list of dutch players and the members of the dutchman I have

dutchman members
derby
jeroennl
jonathan pietjes
proturio (off course)
ronald koornreef (does not live in netherlands or belgium but used to live in netherlands)
sir jo
tomvogel
willem van orange

other dutch players
[16] knoukoy
appie the third
dobbiedice [nl]
timdrie

I thought 1 or 2 in this list are belgium on their own but don't know for sure.
I am in tournament with epaminondas against powerneg and a zioom but don't know if zioom is dutch so maybe powerneg can help us with that

On which map will this tournament be played?
