Greetings, and welcome to the second Friction World Cup.

For those of you who missed the first one several years ago and have no idea what this is about, the Friction World Cup is a different sort of event than what you might be used to on this site. It’s not a tournament, not exactly, but more like an overall competition, an event that celebrates the immense diversity among Friction competitors.

The basic rules are simple enough - all you have to do to participate is making a thread. It can be a match, a social topic, a promo, whatever. After you’ve completed the thread, you post a link in this thread, state the participating characters in the thread, and each character in the thread will add points to her country’s total based on certain factors:

1 point for posting a finished thread started past January 30, 2017 and before May 30, 2017
2 points for posting a finished thread that has [Friction World Cup] or [FWC] in the title and was started on or after January 30, 2017 and before May 30, 2017
3 points for posting a finished thread that has [Friction World Cup] or [FWC] in the title, was started on or after January 30. 2017 and before May 30, 2017 and has FWC appropriate subject matter. i.e. it is specifically mentioned in the thread. There is a battle of the countries match, etc.

As an example, I'll pick a random topic and show how this would work:

www.afwrpg.com/t15978-training-with-a-new-dummy

This a topic between Ragdoll_Jobber and Iron Soldier. It’s not really eligible for the FWC, because it started earlier than January 30 and isn’t completed, but for the sake of example, we’ll assume it fits both criteria.

Either Ragdoll_Jobber or Iron Soldier could post in this topic, as such

https://www.afwrpg.com/t15978-training-with-a-new-dummy

Russia= Zarya
Japan= Isa Kubota , Komachi Hiroshima , Yumi

That’s it. Under this circumstance, one point would go to Russia, three would go to Japan, and I’d add that to the tally at beginning of this thread.

Simple. Doesn’t matter who wins, who loses, what happens in the thread, how long it is - so long as it’s completed, every character involved gets at least one point, with extra if you meet the extra requirement listed above. If you go to an extra effort to have your thread tie into this event - for instance, if your characters have a match that revolves around this theme and is driven by it story-wise - I might give out bonus points on top of it, if you draw my attention to it.

Throughout the year, I’ll see about getting some events set up around the FWC - small things like three ways or tag matches, interviews - and coming next month there will be a FWC-themed battle royale featuring members from eight major countries.

Also, note: Friction Topics Only. Topics in Tension or Fur and Feathers do not apply. That being said, if you have a Tension woman who appears in a Friction thread, I’ll still count her.

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me. Also, here’s a link to the last FWC, which might help some get a better idea of how it’s supposed to work.

Remember, while this is a competition, it’s also about having fun...like everything about the AFW. So, in that spirit, have fun and be creative!

Question, do promo threads count? For example, if you do a quick promo say 1 or 2 pages long and then that leads to a match, would you get points for the promo thread and then points for the match as well?

You'd get points for both, provided they're both completed.

Canada = Abigail Snow, Whitney White, Lana Fisher, Meredy, Mavis Vermillion, Sona Buvelle, Robin

Japan = Siki, Haruka, Kashima, Yagyu, Hibari

United States = Mallow

Is there a topic?

I've moved this to the discussion forum so that it won't get auto pruned

Japan = Kyoko Akan, Akiha Kosha
United Kingdom = Gwendolyn Dupont Bettencourt
U.S.A. = Amy Evans

The FWC is also brought up in conversation, so I think that's the max number of points.

And Japan has a good lead.

Thanks. ^_^
