1420! Noggie fail
to notice his 8000th post. Otherwise congratulations!

So we're waiting for Nerwen and Sally's 100 million squad, as well as skip. I've done all the pre-tourney stuff I want (forgive the last one if it's too much, btw. I might not do it again, haha) so I'm ready and waiting for the results of Matchday 1.

I >100% <3 it. (read as "I greater than 100% love it"...I'm not sure if symbolizing posts really makes them more efficient? It could just be all the Arda Cup numbers running through my head has overflowed into posts expressing my love for that post, Nilp. )

Eonwe- Your 100 mill team has three players from Eriador (Asfaloth, Glorfindel, Gil-galad) and three players from AC Beleriand (Feanor, Beren, Imlach). You're going to have to swap one from each team, as the 100 mill squad is only allowed to feature two players from each squad.

Sally and Nerwen- we don't have a 100 mill team from you. It isn't necessary for us to start, but if you have the chance you may as well have one for a chance at the points. You can have TWO players from each squad, and the total salary of the team can't exceed 100. Salaries with rosters can be found here.

Right, I suppose someone should comment on it (even if this is all a product of phantom's imagination):

FC Valinórë is certainly living up to its namesake. Making the Arda version of El Clásico look like a walk in the park . . .

And I suppose the last Clásico did not happen?

While I am obviously disappointed, I am unsurprised...well, except for Turin from whom I was hoping for much more.

However, I only have one change I want to make. I figure Turin can't keep doing horribly forever.

Hm, I should have gone with 'Forza Nargothrondia' with that last one, to point out AC Beleriand's Italian namesake.

Anyway, Eomer gets 32 pts from Beren and Fëanor alone. Hohoho, so lucky~
