Hithlum beats Aremenelos
Mirkwood beats Angband

I just realized Skip Spence and Boro have full teams. Lucky.

Nogrod 07-06-2009 05:42 PM

Bah. How does one prevent those guys in the lead (or getting there with speed) to run away with these players and only two changes? :(

Hah. My own fault. I trusted Tal Telperien last year to the end and now I'm getting a real beating because I didn't this time... that Queen is just incredible! Just like I hoped she had been last year (well she was not bad then either)... But let's be realistic, she won't score twice in a row.

Okay. Boro and Skip both have Fëanor as their captain so to catch their fly I need to have someone else there as my captain, and just hope Fëanor mainly takes cards in the final...

Would it be Ar Pharazôn's turn to be the hero? Or will Aredhel handle it this time? Or the bronze-match? Nazgul #6, Thranduil, Scatha, Ancalagon, Thuringwethil rising on the occasion?

Or Tar-Atanamir making a shut-out once again? Or Huan finally making it in the tight spot? And Carcaroth has been just super the last rounds...

Needs to think it a bit.

Nogrod 07-07-2009 07:51 AM

I will not change any player who is actually in the field in the finals. With only six possible point-scorers in my team that's pretty clear. (Well I could change Balrog#5 who has lately scored mainly negative points.) So my forwards are "locked".

With midfielders I could gladly go for Nazgul #6, Ar Adunakhôr or Húrin, but as Boro has them there is no point in choosing any of them. I only need to hope they are pathetic in the finals... a fool's hope. :)

But which of the other midfielders could rise to the occasion? Thuringwethil, Gwindor, Tar Ancalimôn, Fingon, Fingolfin, Bilbo...? Well they are all in the 10-point category (the ones Boro has are in the twenty-point category) but anyone could go for me as I have no current midfield at all. :(

Defenders are risky choices at this point as all the teams are good and can score so only a goal-making defender would be really worth the risk. But who would score? Tar Telperien once again? Maybe I need to go for the jackpot - a shut-out defence from Armenelos and Tar Telperien scoring... hmm... is that more likely than Gwindor making a difference (and not taking a card once more) in the bronze-match?

A shut-out goalie with six saves would be worth 8 points... But I have a playing goalie in Huan and just need to trust on him.

Okay here it goes then, some female power into my team, whatever comes:

Thuringwethil for Glaurung
Tar Telperien for Elfwine


Noggerball

*GK- Huan (Hithlum)

*DF- Luthien (Nargothrond)

Nerwen, Wilwa, and Eomer- the results will start rolling in late today or early tomorrow. If you want to trade or predict, get a move on.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-10-2009 11:21 AM

Armenelos wins, Angband is third.

Sorry, I've been internet-less for over a week. Just a moment...

Nerwen 07-11-2009 05:59 AM

Nerwen's Nitpickers
*GK- Carcharoth (Angband)
*DF- Luthien (Nargothrond)
-DF- Indis (Tuna)
-DF- Tar Telperien (Armenelos)
*DF- Caranthir (Hithlum)
-MF- Thuringwethil (Angband)
-MF- Tilion (Valimar)
-MF- Nazgul #6 (Mirkwood)
*MF- Fingolfin (Hithlum)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos) (C)
**FW- Feanor (Hithlum)

Drop Elfwine, Earendil; add Nazgul #6, Tar Telperien.

Predictions: Hithlum beats Armenelos. Angband beats Mirkwood.

Nogrod 07-11-2009 04:29 PM

Heh, I was right in picking up Thuringwethil thinking that she would be having a big role in the game... but really, one assist and a yellow card to take one of the three points back? Phhwt... And being the nastiest player in the field to top that!

Well, Balrog #5 brought me two points as well.

So a total of four points from the first game!

(Well the game prediction went right anyway.)

So I'm afraid my chances of claiming the pole position are gone... if there ever were any after the first trades of the play-offs. :rolleyes:

the phantom 07-11-2009 10:19 PM

And the final game is posted!

There are still points to be added up, and bonus points to be awarded, and quite a few special honors to give out, but most of that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Congrats to the champs! :)

Hakon 07-11-2009 11:12 PM

I am so mad at Boro. I followed his predictions and was wrong. Did anyone even predict Aremenelos winning? Didn't we all say Hithlum? Ar Pharazon was good and I sadly dropped him earlier on.

Gwathagor 07-11-2009 11:42 PM

Aw...dang it. Hithlum WOULD lose.

skip spence 07-12-2009 07:31 AM

I'm just back from a week without internet and I'm quite pleased with how things played out. Had a pretty good last round methinks and it also looks like a couple of my pre-tournament predictions might be on the money.

Boro, did you already add up the scores?

Boromir88 07-12-2009 07:51 AM

Yep, Skip, I've got the points added up. I'll be putting 'em up now, and I think tp will be adding all the bonus points to figure out the winner. :)

Don't be mad at me Hakon, I was doing great...until floundering right at the very end when it matters haha.

Now it's down to all the bonus points, will Skip complete his near unbelievable comeback? Or can Boro hold onto his slim, and diminishing lead? Or maybe all those bonus from predicting most points, goals, and assists will make a surprise winner out of those teams in the 220-240 range? You will have to hold your breath for the phantom to get those answers. :p

P.S. Individually make sure I've added your team's points up correctly, I've rechecked and rechecked (with a calculator too!) for the past day and a half, but I never trust myself when it comes to math.

P.P.S. Check out Skip's amazing forwards! I think that's the best possible combination, too bad Ar Pharazon wasn't your Captain. :D

5 points to- Skip, Eonwe, Nerwen, and Gwath
10 points to- Nogrod, Morm, McCaber, and Eomer

Pre-tournament predictions:

Nogrod- 10 points- Ar Pharazon (goals)
Wilwa- 10 points- Miriel (goals)

Gwath- 20 points- Feanor (goals), Melkor (points)
Skip- 20 points- Feanor (goals), Feanor (points)
Shasta- 20 points- Feanor (goals), Melkor (points)

So, after all of that, the point standings have changed just a bit. Unless an error of some sort is found in calculations, these are the final standings for the tournament!

And thanks to everyone for participating. You all had a good round or two, and perhaps next time through better fortune and crafty strategy you will win the day and steal Skip's Phantasy crown away from him. ;)

Congrats Skip for the dashing performance in the end! One can see you're a professional in this... :) Great victory!

Also a beautiful performance Boro! Special thanks for your pre-match analysis and other stuff. Those were entertaining. And your predictions were so accurate at one point I thought you must have hacked tp's PM's... :D

Although I need to add one little thing that just came to my mind... I lost to you with twelve points and that's a fair call. I lost. But had Aredhel assisted the Hithlum goal in the final (shwe basically assited one goal in every game before the final) I would have won you with four points. Here's how it would have played out: 10 pts. for most assists in the tournament prediction before the games started + 2x3 pts. for one assist for the team captain = 16 pts. - 12 pts. (our difference) = +4 pts. :rolleyes:

Great play Nerwen, Shasta, Gwath, Hakon... and everyone!

It was much fun once again.


NB. AKm has also given some special awards in the game thread. Go and check! And there will be more to come.

Feel encouraged to add your own press-releases!

Gwathagor 07-13-2009 10:07 AM

Great job everyone, it was fun. Congratulations, Skip!

mormegil 07-13-2009 10:34 AM

Many felicitations Skip! I'm surprised that anybody beat our Boro. It was fun and I wish I had done better.

Well, Nogrod, had I picked Ar-Pharazon as captain and he'd scored a hat-trick, I'd have beaten you anyway. ;)

I didn't even imagine overcoming you Skip as I was just looking at the difference between myself and Boro, but now as you say it... yeah, we would have ended up equal in the lead had Aredhel assisted one goal in the final.

Well, there are different ifs... like if Aredhel assisted one goal like she did in every game but the first where she scored instead, or if Ar Pharazôn made a hat-trick (before the final he had 50% ratio of scoring one or not scoring at all) and if he was chosen as your captain... The first one is something that could be said would have been highly probable and the second one would have been far from it. :rolleyes:

I just couldn't be not mentioning that fact when I realised how "close" the contest was even if the numbers themselves would say it was a clearcut deal...


But I see what you mean and you're quite right indeed. An if is always an if - even if there are different ifs. And that's fine - well what else but fine could it be? :)

As I said congrats once more, and thanks for some really entertaining writing!


And let it be said here publicly as well: good stuff the phantom! That was excellently organised tournament! You made our (Skip's and mine) life easy with our writing by being both supporting and flexible - and always on time or ahead of it.

Two things I have learned to appreciate here in the 'Downs are the personal commitment to do what one has promised to do and to do it on time promised + taking things through to the end and not leaving them unfinished. You never failed tp but looked this through beautifully. *bows*

Agreed, agreed and agreed. I'm especially impressed with the reliability of all the statistics added up by tp, and how he's always spotted when rules have been broken. Sorry about the times when I wrote about players who in fact did not play for the team I was writing about by the way (and for some awkward word repetitions haha)! My excuse is being in a rush with little free time but that's not really an excuse, as I probably have as much or more of it as you guys do. Did you have an excel worksheet or something similar to help you with the stats tp? Without some software aid that work would be insane, especially in the early rounds.

Anyway, great work the Phantom and Nogrod, as well as Boro for his predictions and stats, and thanks to all of the other participants too!
