I'm going to pull out of this tournament as I don't think it has been gone about properly and don't believe it will be much of a success either.
If I'm honest, I think we should cancel this and do it another time. And here are my reasons:
1. Lack of major nations (France, Russia, Ukraine, Norway, Balkans) participating, thus detracting from it's 'community-event' status.
2. The haphazardous marketing of it: sign ups were on the secluded FSE forums and barely any graphical advertisement or tournament memorabilia was commissioned.
3. Tournament gameplay and rulesets not being particularly enticing (15 aside melee
) and fundamentally designed only really with MM gameplay in consideration.
4. Tournament beginning too early: NW only just came out when it was starting to take sign-ups, and so the game has had a change in playerbase since leading to a lack of new blood and loss of old blood in some cases who had already signed up (e.g. Achilles, Sid, Vorlen). It wasn't a great time to start it.
5. Poor timing of the event: in the thick of exam season and now expecting to commence with early summer festivities looming (Euro 2012, Olypmics). Some have already pulled out or stepped down for such reasons.
6. Lack of regular and coherent updates that are important to make sure this does not 'fizzle out' - I believe it has somewhat already fizzled: I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of nations pull out or simply don't turn up.
If you're not going to cancel, please don't grace this tournament with it's ambitious title 'European Cup 2012' or with any of my graphical design - they ought to be saved for something I know is going to be a success and all-encompassing community event.

That's quite a disappointing Evan... Really sad to hear from you to...
Let me explain some things neverless,
1. = That some major nations didn't take part, is there own fault. We've annouched this months ago. And they didn't "reply" to it.
2. = The fact was, we weren't enable to get a sub-board on taleworlds. Tho we could get it on the FSE website, but seeing the website "failed" everything went quite messy. Something we couldn't see coming.
4. = Before we did nearly everyone was up for this. So we pushed it on. We all knew it would be in the NW. That some players got out because they didn't buy, or enjoy NW isn't really our fault. If there wasn't enough support when we annouched this we wouldn't have pushed it so early.
5. = ^
6. = I've been busy lately with several things. Seeing as I've got some tests coming up in a week, (if i fail them than i can say bye-bye to my exams next year) witch are rather important. Neverless my apologies for not updating the thread.
And please Evan, don't critise it.. With like "please don't grace this tournament with it's ambitious title 'European Cup 2012" So far Hekko, Svenson, me and Crusader have put quite some time in setting up what we got so far now. A little bit of appreciating is welcome.
(Aswell pointing back to point 4)
All together, I've personal lost some intrest in the melee. Seeing as I'm going to be busy as well. I personal can agree that it isn't the right time for such a big event.
Anyway, I'll have a talk with Hekko, Svenson and Crusader and we will see what is the best solution.
Good day,
Gokiller

Alright, since Gokiller is under heavy time constraints I will take over responsibility for this.
First of all, due to the nature of NW and the fact that people have dropped out of teams I will allow replacements for the people who have dropped out, furthermore, teams that do not have full rosters at the moment are also allowed to fill them up. So teamleaders, please provide me a list of people that have dropped out with the same deadline as for the matches, after that replacements will be impossible.
Secondly, since it has been a month since the sign-up deadline teams will have had ample time to train together and accordingly we will be starting up matches effective immediately. The following teams will have to fight a match before friday the 15th, June 2012
Turkey vs. Denmark
The Netherlands vs. Italy
Sweden vs. The United Kingdom & Northern Ireland
So, schedule the match, schedule a referee and get it done before next Friday.
We will be doing it at the pace of one match per week initially since the UEFA Cup might lower attendance for those who are interested in football.
Steam names to the different leaders can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuNSPBRYr23IdHkwaEo1ZmdMdlQtTHY1LTlwX0JpSWc#gid=0
The 15e will provide a server for the event as long as it does not interfere with our other events, the map used will be one from the groupfighting servers.
Questions can be asked here, if somehing is of urgent nature I can be reached on the 15e TS most of the time: 176.9.103.48:9991
Kind regards,
Hekko
