Meh, I got a bit too wordy there in Group G...

But if you have no time or interest to read both games, read the game between Pelori and Valinor.


Yay Nilp! As you ask, if you could get the blue changed into the "BD-bone-green" it would be even more awesome, but it pretty cool anyway - and better than a pic of a "trophy" anyway.

(If you never chose a team name I have given you one. Skip, Morm, Kuru- I figure you can tell which team I made you.)
Round 3 Points

The Lynch Mob 58
Wolf Pack 55
Noggportunistics 46
The Numbering Horde 44
Bletherin’ Blellums 44
Wrath of the Monkey 44
Unnamed Horror 43
Natural Sprinters 41
The Cupkicks 32
Notorious Nerwenites 32
The Once-And-Future Champs 31
Inzil’s Ignobles 21

And let’s not forget about those group predictions everyone made. Eomer and Gwath were blistering, getting all eight group winners correct and missing only three runner-ups, gaining them 29 out of the 32 possible points!

Group Prediction Points
Bletherin’ Blellums 29
The Lynch Mob 29
Noggportunistics 27
They Have a Cave Troll 27
The Once-And-Future Champs 25
Natural Sprinters 24
The Numbering Horde 24
Inzil’s Ignobles 23
Notorious Nerwenites 23
Wolf Pack 23
Wrath of the Monkey 19
The Cupkicks 18
Unnamed Horror 17

So here is where we stand going into the playoffs. Some people took some mighty tumbles, while others shot up the standings. But now is when you can really gain some ground, as the leaders may have their teams cut down by their players getting eliminated during the playoffs.

Total Points After Group Play
The Lynch Mob 202
Noggportunistics 178
They Have a Cave Troll 174
Wolf Pack 165
The Numbering Horde 159
Bletherin’ Blellums 158
The Once-And-Future Champs 158
Wrath of the Monkey 151
Notorious Nerwenites 150
Unnamed Horror 148
Natural Sprinters 144
The Cupkicks 122
Inzil’s Ignobles 98

You are allowed SEVEN trades.
In other words, whatever switches you make and change your mind about etc., your team will be considered legal so long as you end up with at least FOUR of your players you had last round.

You may feature SEVEN stars on your roster.

The playoff matchups are set, and you can gain EXTRA POINTS by predicting who the winners will be. Each game is worth one point, so an extra eight points are out there for the taking.

The Playoffs, Round 1 (host team listed first)

*****
Doriath vs Minas Morgul
*****
Wilderland vs Valinor
*****
Angband vs Tol Eressea
*****
Eregion vs The Forest
*****
Tol In Gaurhoth vs Barad-Dur
*****
Westernesse vs Angfauglith
*****
Pelori vs Misty Mts
*****
Lothlorien vs Tirion
*****

Some stupendous matchups there! Make your trades and picks and stay tuned for all the action.

But hey! We have a nice and tough competiton on the top, but "the Lynch mob" is like twenty+ points ahead?

Let's lynch the lynch mob!


Btw. there will be - I quess - all kinds of predictions and stats pouring in the next few days so hold your horses gentlemen and -women. Those might include things only you see and thus manage to predict it right against what all the others are doing.

For doing things differently is the way to gain against others ahead... or to break off from an even situation: betting the same only keeps the difference the same.

I've actually had a team name on all my rosters from the beginning, but oh well.

Meh, I got a bit too wordy there in Group G...

But if you have no time or interest to read both games, read the game between Pelori and Valinor.
Meh, it was fine, a good read. You built the tension up nicely--although, of course, there was much tension to begin with in the second game, but even the first game was riveting. (And the latter one was fantastic!)

Thanks for the tip. (But I'll have to ask my brother's help with more sophisticated photo-editing programs--that change would be beyond my meagre Paint skills. )

Standings, the bracket, etc., will be up in about two hours. (Analysis--both statistical and fanatical--shall have to come much later, though.)

When I originally checked I was going off of this post where I didn't see a name and just never realized you already had one established at that point, heh. Sorry! I'll take care of changing it back tomorrow.

Thanks! And, well, my laziness is more of a watery 'path of least resistance' type than an earthy 'mountain does not move' type, anyway.

When is the deadline for making our trades and predictions? I will try to do it today anyway.

At least a few days, no rush. I'm finishing my post with all my predictions today, and I see this morning we've gotten our playoff assignments on who's writing which games. So, once we get the results, still at least another day to start getting them written.

I could probably do my trades on Thursday, if you'd be willing to wait. I'm simply too tired today to make sense of much of anything. :/

Winners are Doriath, Valinor, Angband, Angfauglith, Tol-in-Gaurhoth, Eregion, Lothlorien, and Misty Mountains. I'll make this look pretty when I get to a computer.

Thumbs up Predictions are up.

Let's see how close I get this time.



Retaining 4-3-3:
--GK ShastaWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
++GK *Tar-Atanamir (Westernesse)

--DF Nienna (Pelóri)
[++Nienna (Pelóri)]
[--Elwë (Doriath)]
++DF Celeborn (Lothlórien)

--MF *Finrod (Tirion)
[Atarinya. ]
++MF Ar-Adûnakhôr (Westernesse)

The Numbering Horde
GK *Tar-Atanamir (Westernesse)
DF Draugluin (Angband)
DF Nienna (Pelóri)
DF Celeborn (Lothlórien)
DF **Morgoth (Angband)
MF Ar-Adûnakhôr (Westernesse)
MF *Húrin (Doriath)
MF *Glorfindel (Eregion)
FW Elros (Westernesse)
FW Arien (Valinor)
FW **Túrin (Doriath) (C)

7/8 stars, cos there's no 1-star DF that I can use that I'd want to. (And I've had doubts about Tilion, nyaha.)

EDIT: Nienna stays, Elwë goes--I need two moar Doriath players for next round.
