Day before yesterday I found myself in the awkward position of having to unexpectedly house sit until Tuesday with very limited internet access...and I don't have much time to post now.

I am only going to make one change on my team.

--DF Alatar (Wilderland)
++DF **Morgoth (Angband)

GK Grimbeorn (Wilderland)
DF KuruWolf (TIG)
DF Shadowfax (Lothlorien)
DF *Beren (Doriath)
DF **Morgoth (Angband)
MF Luthien (Doriath)
MF PhantomWolf (TIG)
MF *Finrod (Tirion)
FW **Turin (Doriath) (C)
FW GwathWolf (TIG)
FW *Bombadil (The Forest)

That should be seven stars.

Predictions--

Doriath vs Minas Morgul - Doriath to Win
*****
Wilderland vs Valinor - Wilderland to Win
*****
Angband vs Tol Eressea - Angband to Win
*****
Eregion vs The Forest - Eregion to Win (my devotion to Bombadillo has its limits...)
*****
Tol In Gaurhoth vs Barad-Dur - Tol-in-Gaurhoth to Win
*****
Westernesse vs Angfauglith - Angfauglith to Win
*****
Pelori vs Misty Mts - Pelori to Win
*****
Lothlorien vs Tirion - Tirion to Win

I promise I will do more issues of The Underground when I am back home and have my computer again.

I've been caught up all evening, so I'll think about my picks and make sure to post them in the morning. *shuffles off to bed*

All right then- we just need things from Sally and Galadriel. We know Sally is around and will have it done soonish, but I believe Gal is away and has appointed TGEW in her place. I will PM her immediately and as soon as she has answered and made Gal's picks we will begin posting results.

Ah, look, see, I'm not the only one who thinks Misty Mountains will whoop up on Pelori.

Hmm, well. Galadriel55 has asked me to play in her absence, which I have agreed to. I am a bit rusty (and wasn't very good at this to begin with, mind), so forgive me if I mess up.

Predictions:

*****
Wilderland vs Valinor. . . . . . . . . Wilderland with win
*****
Angband vs Tol Eressea. . . . . . . Tol Eressea will win
*****
Eregion vs The Forest. . . . . . . . Eregion will win
*****
Tol In Gaurhoth vs Barad-Dur. . . Barad-Dur will win
*****
Westernesse vs Angfauglith. . . . Westernesse will win
*****
Pelori vs Misty Mts. . . . . . . . . . Pelori will win
*****
Lothlorien vs Tirion. . . . . . . . . . Lothlorien will win

________________________________________________

As for Galadriel's original team, I like it as it stands:

White Tree He can't wait (oh yes, he can't wait)

Partial, unofficial, the works--this includes prediction pts, btw:

Triple tie of skip (42+4), Nog, and me (both 42+5) at the pole position. The abominable Gwath lurks (tied with morm) at 38+5. Nerwen owns solo third (34+5).

(My last-minute changes netted me 18 pts. Like, επιγενηθήτω, φλογίνη βασίλεια! (The song and message are both dedicated to Arien.) Hope Varda and Tilion don't better it, though, heehee.)

And I would just like to reiterate that you three writers are awesome!

EDIT: Didn't see that last match, heh. I take solo top (53+3)!!! Followed by skip (46+3) and Nog (43+4). Boro (42+4) joins the top 5, tied for current pts with Gwath (42+3).

EDIT 2: Oh, snap, I forgot Elrond's assist! Skip has 49 (3 unplayed).
