The Empire Strikes Back.. Despite an attempted coup against Emperor Klinsi, his newly appointed field general Deuce Vader leads the Empire to a hard-earned victory over the Costa Rican militia in the Second Battle of Hoth. Costa Rica is considering filing a formal protest with the Intergalactic Council. I can’t say that I blame them- they were ambushed without provocation while looking for a soccer game. Whatever that was last night, it sure as hell wasn’t soccer.
Edited to add: The Empire is believed to have had the assistance of a wampa.
This was a really clever presentation, Mark. Kudos.Report
It appears that Costa Rica did indeed file a formal protest. And, unless there are some rules I’m unaware of about the appropriate conditions for play (I mean real rules, not just tradition or whatever), I really hope it is denied, because that opens a really, really messy can of worms.Report
According to Ives Galarcep, the protest fails to meet the procedural requirements for consideration. Not that such things matter – we’re talking about Sepp Blatter’s FIFA here; whatever the outcome of the protest, you can rest assured it will have been procured by some sort of corruption.
