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, message me in-game or reply to this thread.   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? [member="P O C"]: I enjoy hunting, and fishing while in season.  And nature in general if im not sitting at my desk like a goblin.   [member="H"]: If you could wake up tomorrow gaining one new quality or ability, what would it be and why? [member="P O C"]: Since this is very open ended i would gain the ability to timetravel.

[member="P O C"]: I would ease up on jokes online probably and bantering as much, because i believe its hard to ascertain context without seeing people and alot of stuff gets misconstrued   [member="H"]: Got any goals you're chipping away at that you'd like to share with us, and how its going? [member="P O C"]: Working on my iron on alora amongst other goals.  In real life i am trying to include doing countertops in my repertoire because it will generate more income and save me alot of time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The winner of March & April MOTM's are...
