Hello everyone!   With the World Cup right around the corner, I thought it might be a good idea to host a sweepstake for some little fun!   How it works Each entry is randomly assigned a team participating at the World Cup, prizes will be awarded to teams that finish top 3, and those that finish bottom 3.   Due to there being a limited number of teams(48), entries will be sold first come first serve, so be quick! 1 per person. To lock in your place, reply to this thread. note: We have decided to halve the number of entries, each entrant will get one team from the top 24 ranked teams, and one from the bottom 24 ranked teams.   The cost of an entry is 100M. Keep in mind, that this is totally random, so chances are you may be assigned a team that's not that great, or you may get lucky and get a tournament favourite!   The prize will be be as follows:   1st place TBA   2nd place TBA   3rd place TBA   46th place TBA   47th place TBA   48th place TBA   We may also include some other little prizes, such as top goalscorers and such, more info will follow!

[member="P O C"]: I used to party ALOT in my younger years and im proud of myself for saving my own life and leaving that behind.   [member="H"]: What is your most memorable moment while playing Alora? [member="P O C"]: This last leagues me and like 4-8 others were in vc for like most of it for 20/24 hrs lmao it was fantastic we all took off work or had off for holidays and went turbo sweat.   [member="H"]: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?
