Tuvan Flag + Tuvan Man

Here is our flag with a chirpy tuvan.

TUVA

Geographical Features
The Republic of Tuva lies at the upper reaches of the Siberian Yenisey river, between the Altay and Sayan mountain ranges.

Population
Of the population of approximately 310,000 people 97% are Tuvans. Other Tuvans live in Mongolia and the Peoples Republic of China. Tuvans are one of the oldest peoples to inhabit Central Asia with a unique culture. The mixture of cultural roots of ancient Tuvans, Uygurs and Kyrgyzians formed the basis of the present-day culture.

 

Language
The Tuvan people speak a Turkic language.

 Please come and join my team one and all. Meanwhile what are the terms for challenging one-another? and how is anyone going to moderate+keep track of who has beaten who.

There will be no "challenging"!<i>!</i>

 

I will draw up a who-plays-who thing and do it like that. Then people will play each other. Then I will get results.

 

I NEED HELP THOUGH ARE YOU VOLUNTEERING PLEASE I THINK YOU WOULD BE GOOD?

 

I'll make you a badge.

I will play TrackMania Nations, for I yam great. I can play chess as well, but I yam crap. There should also be a chocolate eating event.

 

I would like to represent the country of Namibia, for reasons unknown.

I would like to be Burkina Fasish. I can play Scrabble, and probably GOFL, even though I don't know what that is. Also probably pool and maybe some of the other stuff. Can I nominate my little brother to play chess for us?

They're both too old to be any good at games anyway, shouldn't worry.

It's up to you as Burkino Faso leader :O

 

It would mean becoming the only team with more than one member, which I see as a good thing.

 

Right right, I should post some links so people can practise at things...

 

GOFL can be found here:
http://www.jippii.co.uk/?st4w0ZE1XsQBavszuq7wTEBJc

 

IFOC rules as as default, but matches will be played over 10 holes.

 

Yahoo pool is here:
http://games.yahoo.com/play/pl

 

Other people prefer candystand pool, but I don't like it so I dunno where it is. Could the other people who've suggested gamesgive links?

 

Loads of games here:
http://games.yahoo.com/

 

I think Yahoo would be good for this because... well, the games are mostly quite well done and it allows spectating which I think is a good thing. It also survives my 2 hour disconnects and lets me pick up where I left off I-'

 

Mr_Swayzee: THANK YOU!

 

Right, I'll give it a couple more days for people to suggest events and countries and all that business. Then I'll make some polls where people can choose countries and events. Then I'll draw up the EXCITING SCHEDULE OF EVENTS!

 

Daz: No such discrimination here! Spaks like you are welcome to play alongside spaks like me!

Then WE SHALL DO IT.

Although, in the interests of fairness and my sexual gratification, Rendle and I will have our left and right legs tied together. Thus we will also be the only three legged state in Africa.

Five legged, if the rumours are true.

He already accepted that he is part of my time, thus you are on my team too.

 

AFRICA NOW HAS 3 REPRESENTATIVES!!!
