What's up HMAF spectorate? Today was a special day for the HMAF Tournament. The Third Place Play-Off, between Jammu And Kashmir Union and Mother Asia took place. But who won? JKU or the former host of the tournament? Here is the breakdown: Both teams were tense since this would be their last match. A match that would determine how each nation would be remembered for centuries, or at least until the next football tournament. The game started and both South Asian titans were doing their best. The ball kept changing teams, but no team was able to score a goal in the first half. The second half began, the game continued as normal, but at the 55' minute mark the Mother Asian captain began to look tired and at the 60' minute mark, he had to stop playing. The Mother Asian team was left without it's captain, but they could still win. The game continued, but JKU began to have the advantage, and at the 72' minute mark JKU scored a goal. Cheers were heard in the stadium. The game continued, but it seemed like Mother Asian morale was down. The game ended, no other goals were scored, which means that JKU is the 3rd best team in the world.
Tune in tomorrow, to watch the final game of the first HMAF Tournament!

Hi
Fourian
so the game was 2-1?
Fourian, Jewish Sealand
My goal was democratic socialist.
Ah.
It's a bit ironic
Wait... What as British Alaska gonna say ?
Oh right. Jewish Sealand edited my message because I announces the final results too early.
The game ended 1-0, as you can see in the HMAF Dispatch.
Thriving, as always! Good health and favorable winds to you!

You already know what time it is. It's the last match of HMAF as Jewish Sealand and British Andorra are put against each other in the trophy match! Let's begin this exciting last match.
These two were fiercely going for goal but both of them couldn't score a goal until Jewish Sealand kicked not 1 but 2 goals before halftime. However, the determination of the British Andorrans payed off when they managed to score a goal on Jewish Sealand, followed by another one!
The British Andorrans were horrified when Jewish Sealand scored a goal, but at the 88 minute mark, British Andorra scored a penalty, ending the game in a tie.
Fulltime came around and each team were given 5 penalty kicks. Jewish Sealand shoots! It's a miss. British Andorra kicks! It's a goal! Jewish Sealand kicks! Miss! British Andorra kicks! Miss aswell! Jewish Sealand kicks! GOAL! But the British Andorra also score ANOTHER GOAL! The Jewish Sealandians kick and they score while British Andorra fails too.
It's up to the last penalty kick. Jewish Sealand miss and British Andorra SCORES!! The British Andorran crowd is celebrating and they are going WILD! Some people are even throwing themselves into the pitch to celebrate with their team. Even now, pubs, taverns and halls are filled with British Andorrans celebrating.
And thus Mark's the end of the first HMAF. Congratulations, British Andorra and well done on second, third and fourth Jewish Sealand, Jammu And Kashmir Union and Mother Asia! I'm Nathan Pisani; signing off.

They ArenÂ’t.
I suggest the average army size in the BDA has to be 1 million or more to join.
We use the leaderboard for determine the military size but I think all BDA nations are already over 1million.
Make suggestions when you join the BDA, not now as it doesn't make sense.

Exitium leaves HMAF
After hearing of the victory of British Andorra, already annoyed and malevolent the Exitium sports team and Exitium fans prepare to leave Mumbai2023 via the space shuttle they arrived on. As crystal clear rain begins to fall as the team, fans and military escort arrive at the coast of Mother Asia they see their large 500 metre long shuttle in the distantance, grey clouds begin to form and swirl in the sky as the door opens the team is piled on first and sent to their quarters and the fans follow close behind and return to their luxury suites. The military follow and begin to patrol within the shuttle.
The plasma thrusters kick into action.
1 hour later the shuttle approaches the Exitium Maternitas Imperialis and pulls into the loading bay. Before the team and fans even have time to think an announcement rings out through their intercoms, "Please may the Exitium Team and their fellow supports report to The Grand Hall, with due haste." With almost bemused and bewildered looks on their faces the fans and football team move together (closely follow by the military escort) towards the regal and opulent Grand Hall. When they arrive a 17ft mahogany door inlayed with gold trimmings stands before them and the door opens, almost like it welcomes them home. As they enter the room is dimly lit and they cant see futher than 2 metres. From the shadows, The Supreme Emperor emerges and speaks in his refined and calm voice, "Welcome home my loyal citizens, a big well done to my football team and their fans in supporting them in their endeavours. All niceties aside I must say I am thoroughly disappointed in your performances and you have made a mockery of our glorious nation. My Father used to say to me, Son there is no excuse for failure only shame. You today ,my football team, have proved my dearest Father correct." With a single sharp snap of his heavy fingers from behind the football team and Exitium fans, 60 armed men appear and aim their weapons equipped with high tech suppressors. And with a simple nod of the head they open fire. The fans and football team are dead in seconds before they can even blink. The Supreme Emperor says finally while looking over their mangled corpses "The Intergalactic Empire thanks you for your service." He steps over the bodies and exits The Grand Hall.

Wow, that was brutal.
Jewish Sealand, Exitium
Brittanicain sport team meets with His Majesty the King outside his place after training for the British Sports League.
The king only says these words.
"Do not let me down."
What is the meaning of this?
Exitium, British Alaska, Brittanicai
A bit, um where’d the word, bad? Like, sure they caused you humiliation and “shame” but did Jewish Sealand execute their players. Guess it is indeed a different world in space, where no one can hear you scream.
Lunayria, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Katyo, Speranzist, Exitium, Erabutia, Brittanicai
Out of RP: I don't know what to write; either "I saw that coming" or "That escalated quickly".
Also, I kind of understand the football team, but not the fans... I mean c'mon they just wanted to watch some Exitium Football.
Lunayria, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist, Exitium
That was rough.
Lunayria, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist, Exitium, Erabutia
It appears they have paid the price for their failure...
I do recall hearing the Maya civilization doing something similar, but if I remember correctly it was to do with winning a war, not a tournament; so do take that with a grain of salt as the sources I've seen on the subject are rather...conflicting...

OOC: Does anyone know of any good flag design websites? I think Saint Arsenio's overdue for a new, original flag...lol
Piadosa, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
Bro I just use PowerPoint. That's how I got my flag lol.
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon
Well. That was... expected. I mean come on. They are a intergalactic high-tech country on a mothership floating around the world, but they run like Medieval England. Torture, execution and more are legal in this country. I wouldn't be surprised that this type of incident would happen again.
Nihppon, Speranzist, Exitium
I've tried to find a decent flag design website but haven't found one I like. These days I tend to use Microsofts Paint 3D and a website called photopea when making flags, I usually use an existing flag as a base and proceed to make an emblem that fits what I'm looking for.
It's fiddly and more time-consuming but I find it to be worth it in the end, you can even place and hide little hidden details on the flag that most people won't even notice.
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
I recommend replacing MS Paint 3D with PowerPoint and then copy your flag from PowerPoint to Adobe Illustrator. It's how I made my flag.
Saint Arsenio, Nihppon
Merely a lore moment to demonstrate that there is no excuse for failure only shame.
Nihppon, Speranzist
They brought shame to the Empire. There is no excuse for failure only shame.
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist
We run our glorious nation with success at the forefront of our ideals, if a group of people choose to fail and not meet that expect mark then they shall be punished for their failure.
Nihppon, Jewish Sealand, Speranzist, Brittanicai
Kinda barbaric in my nation but OK.
Nihppon, Speranzist, Exitium
We have no qualms about your nation and you can run it as you see fit and Exitium will not judge you for it. And we shall run our nation as we see fit.
Nihppon, Speranzist
Okay, but you are in the next game, aren't you, because you just eliminated your entire team.
Nihppon
Another team with hopefully a more substantial and expert skill in the sport, will be grown for this job.
Nihppon, Speranzist, Brittanicai
I understand
The British Sports League is today, Speranzist.

To prevent an economic crash, Brittanicai has started to sell all of it's rich oil reserves for profits.
The Prime Minister hopes to see a return to economic superiority.

Commentary
[spoiler]Greetings cricket fans, it's a beautiful day for a match and what a match we have in store for you today! Strebuch, the Russian/European powerhouse, will be taking on the nimble and cunning Korean side, Chollima. Strebuch won the toss and elected to bat first, let's get started!

Over 3: But wait, Chollima's spin wizard, Min-jun, strikes and takes a wicket! That was a beauty of a delivery! The score is now 28 for 1.
Over 5: Strebuch is taking their time, playing each ball with intent and adding runs steadily.
Over 10: The score is now 60 for 2 and Strebuch is looking to build a big total, this could be a match-winning innings for them.
Over 15: Uh-oh, Chollima's pace machine, Tae-won, has taken two wickets in quick succession! Strebuch is in trouble now, the score is 75 for 4.

Over 20: And that's it, Chollima has won the match by 8 wickets, reaching the target in the 19th over. Hyun-soo, the opener, was the player of the match with a brilliant 75 not out.

Round 3
Winner:Jewish Sealand
commentary
The De cobras took to the field first and put on a strong batting performance, posting 215 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs. Captain Vladimir was in fine form, scoring an impressive 73 runs before being caught in the deep. However, the Jewsealandian Sailors' top-order batsmen rose to the occasion and chased down the target with ease. Skipper Daniel led from the front with a sparkling 95 not out, and was well supported by his vice-captain, who scored a steady 58. With only 3 wickets down, the Jewsealandian Sailors reached the target in 47.3 overs and sealed a comprehensive 7 wicket victory. The De cobras will need to regroup and come back stronger in their next match, while the Jewsealandian Sailors will look to continue their winning momentum.
Nordby Dubrova, Hope you win the next round!

We are thinking of conducting the chess tournaments along with the cricket matches but we need another nation to even out the tournament bracket for chess.
So does any nation want to join BSL:Chess?
(other than the ones already in the official bsl)
Jewish Sealand, Choseun
I would please
Choseun, Speranzist
You are already in the official BSL so you are automatically in all tournaments, including chess!
Brittanicai
Oh sorry, I forgot
Speranzist
If any nations want to play actual chess online, telegram me the scores!
Am I participating?
Nihppon
Your not in the official one but you can join the chess tournaments, yes?
Nordby Dubrova

I believe you have nothing to be offended about, since they executed their own citizens on their own soil, as much as we dislike it, we can't do anything about it.
By the way Exitium, are your nation's people considered subjects or citizens.
Speranzist, Exitium
You basically did nothing since tourism is basically banned there according to their law and tourists get shot down since its considered trespassing. Also since they are in the middle of space, tourists will struggle a lot to even reach there in the first place.
from our past meetings, Exitium absolutely hates tourists so your just doing them a favour.
Im just talking about if you include banning them from all tourist actives in this but why ask for an apology for something that didn't happen to you?
ps: Remember don't worsen your relations with other nations especially when it doesn't affect you
Exitium
I will give you 15million pounds if you declare war on them or just shoot a missile
:)
This is great!
Though I didn't think the criminal population in my country would be so huge.
its only because your overall population is HUGE
