There are still points to be gained in the semis and finals from players and predictions. And some of you are still eligible to receive pre-tournament prediction bonuses.

Uh oh. Someone (

) had a bad round.

Nogrod · 07-30-2008, 10:02 AM

I think we all need to change at least half of our squads... I have six to change...

I'll leave my defences and lower-midfield as they are and concentrate on the attacking players now. So Balrog #4 of Angband, Elenwë of Tuna and Idril of Gondolin will stay.

My changes will then be:

-- Melkor (Angband)
++ the phantom (T-I-G)

tp is a beast as you all know - and fair enough to be called a beauty as well. Gah, I just don't seem to have too many chances anymore... so I need to explain more... Yeah, I had a chance to pick Lhuna for his place and stick for a real beauty but somehow I do not share Nilp's optimism of her getting other things done in the field but taking cards...

-- Ancalagon (Angband)
++ Nogrod (T-I-G)

I'm bringing myself back to the team. As a beast to be sure. Giving myself a second chance then...

-- Miriel (Tuna)
++ Ar Pharazon (Armenelos)

Just look at the guy... pure beast in man's clothing, the attacker on the blessed realm, forging a marriage against the will of the wife, the greed, the lust, the pride... That's just for my team now that the real beasts are out...

Beasts and Beauties (Nog)

G- Huan (Formenos)

DF- Tar Telperien (Armenelos)
DF- Cailín (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)
DF- Elenwë (Túna)
DF- Balrog #4 (Angband)

MF- Idril (Gondolin)
MF- Aredhel (Formenos)
MF- the phantom (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)

FW- Nogrod (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)
FW- Ar Pharazon (Armenelos)
FW- Sauron (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)

And predictions then...

Tol-In-Gaurhoth beats Formenos

Even if the Formenos forwards and Aredhel will make it a tough day for T-I-G defences the phantom and Nogrod will score two goals each and sink the hopes of the elven lords foor good.

Armenelos gets beaten by Hithlum

Now this is the tricky prediction... I have no chances to use Hithlum players as they are a bunch of straight males but I might try to profit from their prowess this way... Gondolin already showed that the great Armenelos defence can be broken and my God how Hurin and Turin will execute that!

McCaber · 07-30-2008, 10:30 AM

I'm in quite a bit of trouble here. I was banking on the exact opposite scenario than what happened.

--Elrond (Rivendell)
++Elros (Armenelos)

--Ecthelion (Gondolin)
++Sauron (TIG)

--Gothmog (Angband)
++ Feanor (Formenos)

Let's hope that's enough to pull through.

G- Elrios (Armenelos)
DF- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
DF- Gandalf (Rivendell)
DF- Celebrimbor (Formenos)
DF- Balrog #2 (Angband)
MF- Eol (Gondolin)
MF- Melkor (Angband)
MF- Hurin (Hithlum)
FW- Sauron (TIG)
FW- Feanor (Formenos)
FW- Maedhros (Formenos)

Picks:
Formenos over TIG
Hithlum over Armenelos

Why, surely Turin's a beauty at least. He had the prettiest face of all the mortal men in all the ages of the world, as far as I remember (which isn't saying much though I'm afraid). Or does a man have to be gay (no, not the happy-gay) to be a potential beauty?

Oh no... I was indeed thinking about assigning Fëanor to my team but just realised that he was in the wrong team from my angle... He's probably the least gay-one there is, but still fair.

But the Hithlum players are just those "right-minded and stout male-heroes" I feel it hard to assign under my team of females and beasts...
