Leboruxball

Leboruxball is a former contestant and current judge of the Discord gameshow known as "The Countryball Camp," hosted by themagicalnoob, otherwise known as SolomonIslandsball or simply "the Host." Leborux has been competing in the Countryball Camp off and on since its third season, upon first being invited to the series. Leborux first debuted in this season as Treyusaball, then competed in further seasons as Plyzenball in Season 4, Pizzaball in Season 5, and Arylaxball in Seasons 6 and 7. Leborux also became the second person to fulfill the role of judge in the history of the competition, briefly serving as a judge under Solaraball (prior to the renaming of its canonical form to Jhelgan) during the teams stage of Season 9, and serving as a judge for the duration of Season 11, which is presently ongoing. Leboruxball also competed in the cancelled first and second iterations of Season 6, competing as an unknown ball and Serbiaball, respectively.

## History

### Seasons 1 & 2

Both of these seasons occurred prior to Leboruxball knowing of the Countryball Camp. As a result, Leboruxball did not compete in either season. It is unknown when Season 1 took place, as its server has since been deleted, although it ended sometime prior to March 18, 2018, which marks the beginning of Season 2. It is very likely Season 1 took place in either late 2017 or early 2018.

Leboruxball joined the archived Season 2 server for the first time on August 19, 2023, over five years after Season 2's conclusion.

### Season 11

#### Episode 1a - "The Three Year Return"

##### The Challenge

This was the first episode of Season 11, and as is usual TCC tradition, this episode began with a team making challenge, to decide the names of the two teams of this season. Each contestant was allowed to submit a maximum of three team names, and the teams would be judged on a scale from one to ten, with the score they received being the average of both themagicalnoob and Leboruxball's ratings. Out of the eighteen contestants of this round, thirteen submitted at least one team name, and eight submitted the maximum amount of three.

As this was the team making challenge, there were no consequences for losing. The top two placers, however, would become the team captains, and earn the ability to choose who they wanted on their team, with the first placer going first.

After some time judging, out of a pool of thirty-two team names, it was ultimately **Cool Countryball Cosmonauts,** submitted by (ycki) UnitedStatesball, and **The Infinity Challengers,** submitted by Luxiliaball, that gained first and second place, respectively. Outside of these two team names, only an additional eight of the remaining thirty managed to secure a score of 5 or above. The only team name that scored a 0/10, and therefore last place, was **Der Reichspakt II,** which was an obvious joke and reference to a previous season, and was paradoxically also submitted by Luxiliaball. This is especially ironic considering that it was the only team that got a 0 from Leboruxball, while the 31st place-team name of **yeah**, submitted by NewZealandball, managed to crank out a 1 from this judge, and a 0.5 overall score.

##### The Results

Ballball, Bulgariaball, Fijiball, Luxiliaball, Misrball, Seterball, Switzerlandball, and (ycki) UnitedStatesball all submitted their maximum allotted team names, while Boglandiaball, Champiaball, Liliaball, Nortlakeball, and Pacumineball didn't submit at all. As this was the first challenge of the season, there was no elimination this round.

#### Episode 9.5

##### The Challenge

This was the combined rejoin and debut challenge of this season that signified the beginning of the merge period, and was the first and so far only challenge of the season that the remaining contestants did not participate in. The challenge for this episode was to create a piece of artwork regarding a presently-competing contestant, as a countryball, map, and/or both.

Out of the ten eliminated contestants and the unknown amount of spectators, eight submissions were actually made - four from eliminated contestants, and four from spectators and potential debutees. However, out of the ten eliminated contestants, Euphratball and Liliaball had already left prior to this challenge, and Misrball and Nortlakeball both left during the challenge, which left only six eliminated contestants actually in the running.

This challenge was judged in two separate groups - one for the eliminated contestants, and one for the debutees. There were no consequences for those who didn't win the challenge, but the first place winner of both groups would join the competition, in a rejoin and a mid-season debut, respectively.

The first to be judged were the four potential rejoiners, with Champiaball, Illagerytangle, NAball, and NewZealandball all submitting. While Leboruxball voted Champia's submission the highest, it was ultimately NAball that won. Leborux voted New Zealand's submission the lowest.

Out of the four potential debutees of Lotosball, Romaniaball, Surrenderball, and... leufg, it was Lotosball and Surrenderball that got the highest ratings from Leboruxball. Leborux specifically voted Lotos higher than Surrender, but ultimately, Surrender took first place after a tiebreaker.

##### The Results

###### Rejoiners

1. NAball
2. Champiaball
3. Illagerytangle
4. NewZealandball

###### Debutees

1. Surrenderball
2. Lotosball
3. Romaniaball
4. ...leufg.

As this challenge was a rejoin and debut challenge, there was no elimination. NAball rejoined the season, while Surrenderball became the midseason debuter. With the conclusion of this challenge, the merge truly began.

#### Episode 10 - "Rejoins, Debuts, and a Dissolution!"

##### The Challenge

The challenge for this episode was to create a FANDOM article based on the contestants' ball, or the country they played as. This was the first true challenge of the merge.

Out of the twelve contestants that competed in this challenge, four did not submit. Of the remaining eight, themagicalnoob and Leboruxball were largely in agreement regarding the placements - including both Surrenderball and NAball taking 1st and 8th place, respectively - however, they were in disagreement on the placement of Seterball, with Magical and Leborux arguing he should take 2nd and 4th, respectively. Ultimately, they agreed to compromise, and awarded Seter 3rd place.

It is also notable that Leborux privately advocated for NA to receive at minimum a -5 penalty for plagiarizing an already-existing wiki article, however, this idea was ultimately scrapped.

It was during this episode that Leboruxball got the idea of making a self-wiki, which is the article you are presently reading.

##### The Results

1. Surrenderball
2. Fijiball
3. Seterball
4. Switzerlandball
5. Boglandiaball
6. Pacumineball
7. Ballball
8. NAball

Non-submitters: Danubiaball, Luxiliaball, (ycki) UnitedStatesball, Zenixball

Due to this being the first merge challenge, and multiple non-submitting contestants (namely Zenix) having valid reasons for being unable to submit during this challenge, Magical opted to suspend the rule deducting five points for all unexcused non-submitters for this challenge. As a result, the scoreboard immediately following this challenge looked like this:

1. Surrenderball (30 points)
2. Fijiball (20 points)
3. Seterball (15 points)
4. Switzerlandball (12 points)
5. Boglandiaball (10 points)
6. Luxiliaball (10 points)
7. (ycki) UnitedStatesball (10 points)
8. Pacumineball (8 points)
9. Ballball (6 points)
10. NAball (4 points)
11. Danubiaball (0 points)
12. Zenixball (0 points)

As the bottom four contestants were up for elimination, this episode's elimination is between Ballball, Danubiaball, NAball, and Zenixball.

##### The Elimination

The elimination for this episode was virtually a landslide, with the majority of contestants voting one contestant, and only one contestant not voting. Thanks to previously-established rules, any contestant who didn't vote would have their vote automatically go to the contestant with the lowest score, which in this case was split between Danubiaball and Zenixball, resulting in a decimal vote. Gaining over half of the 12 votes, NAball was eliminated immediately after rejoin and gained 12th place in the competition. This elimination was also notable for being the first elimination this season where all contestants up for elimination received at least one vote.

VOTING RESULTS:

1. NAball: 7
2. Danubiaball: 2 (+0.5)
3. Zenixball: 1 (+0.5)
4. Ballball: 1

## Trivia

* Leboruxball is named after the United Empire of Leborux, an interstellar empire and the second most powerful nation in the future novel series *the Betweenworlds.*
	+ Of all known balls Leboruxball has been, only Pizzaball does not appear in this series. Solara appears as the Jhelganian Stellar Order, a highly xenist interstellar empire; Treyusa and Plyzen appear as allied states from the highly futuristic planet of Theia; and Arylax appears as a theocratic empire practicing the dark arts on the planet Valenine. Serbia also appears in a somewhat futuristic form, as the series opens in the Earthen year 2057.
* Serbia is the only nonfiction country Leboruxball has played as.
* Leboruxball often refers to challenge(s) as "challente(s)," a trend that began during Season 11. The actual meaning of "challente" differs depending on context, and can range from a simply an intentional misspelling of the word "challenge," with the definition otherwise meaning the same, to a joke version of the word that is not meant to be taken seriously.
	+ The actual origin of the term comes from a YouTube video uploaded to the Skep YouTube channel entitled "the yogurt challente." It is unknown whether or not this original misspelling of the word was intentional, but thanks to the combined use of this spelling in future Skep videos, as well as Leboruxball finding the misspelling strangely funny, it became a trend for Leboruxball to use it to describe challenges.
