>>9726803
Matches don't start until the 28th but we need to finalise the team and roster in two weeks.

The Wiki linked in the doc will have all the times when the draw is made and if there's interest in it we can try and make threads when we are playing

-The Bogdanoffs are in regular communication with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, forwarding the word of God to the Orthodox Church. Who do you think set up the meeting between the pope & the Orthodox high command (First meeting between the two organisations in over 1000 years) and arranged the Orthodox leader’s first trip to Antarctica in history literally a few days later to the Bogdanoff bunker in Wilkes land?
-They learned fluent French in under a week
-Nation states entrust their gold reserves with the twins. There’s no gold in Ft. Knox, only Ft. Bogdanoff
-The twins are about 7 decades old, from the space-time reference point of the base human currently accepted by our society
-In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all points of time and space from the big bang to the end of the universe. We don’t know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they’re benevolent beings.

Do you hear that? It's time, time passing each day. Each day the truth is harder to hide. Each day more questions are asked. Each day is more damage. Tell him. Tell him what you did to me.

>>9727837

Aye, I agree. You lot, just tell the man. This doesn't need to continue. This madness can stop if the lad has a good reason to stop. You haven't given him a good reason. Can you blame him for doing what he does? Either that or never be free? Trusted? Believed? The lad has no choice. Tell his pa, and let it end now.

The Tiger poem is leagues ahead of Rupi Kuar's in terms of emotionality
You can picture some slightly chunky, makeup caked Indian woman with a bitchy accent speaking her poems at you and expecting you to love them, but The Tiger has an emotionalism to it that can't be beat. At first, the hushed "Yes" as if the first break of a wave on the shore in the morning, the first murmuring in a crowd about to erupt; however, the "YES" is more mad, more unhinged, like someone who is shocked by what they have seen and can only smile and be in awe at the terror they've witnessed. There's something profoundly human about the whole thing: doing something we shouldn't, being glad it has been done, then marveling in pure terror at the Sublimity of ones action.
However, all is not lost; we are meant to reflect on our actions, to see what they have done, and it is implied that we must become better than what lead us to releasing the tiger in the first place. We have wrought something we didn't intend to on the world by letting the Tiger out, but that doesn't mean we cannot learn from this mistake. Nael perfectly displays humanity's need to redeem itself.
The Tiger better captures the human reaction towards the Sublime than any other work of art I have ever read. He has near Dostoevsky levels of awareness of the human spirit and our need to pick up the pieces of what we have wrought. Rupi's shit can only be "related to" by bitchy millennial women, but Nael's contains the whole of human suffering, wonder, and redemption in a scant 5 lines.
NAEL IN
