PHANTASY FOOTBALL: Arda Cup 2011

[Boromir88]

Haha I remember reading that Nilp...needed to make Lhuna wear the Dragon-helm of Hador.

Edit: and I think she scored more points than the nasty, nasty bat...who had like 5-6 cards. Unless if Lhuna couldn't get the most points would have wanted honors of most cards for team wolves, odd ones, and Sauron?

I think she wanted to have better reasons for those cards, like ripping off an opponent's legs.

Hey, wait, you're the head-referee, even back then. This one's totally your fault.

(The real reason she can't join is that nasty boring thing called lack of time.)

[Galadriel55]

I'm back, with lots of stuff to catch up on!

Phantom has allowed me to replace my 2 eliminated players, as well as make the predictions for the matches that weren't played yet. So...

Lothlorien vs Pelori

Thank you, TGEW, for doing the predictions for the previous round!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kuru's in the lead with 25+5, followed by morm (23+5). Nog and Gwath (22+6) complete the top three, erm, four.

Nog hasn't missed a prediction yet (10/10); so has the ArdaCup.com Stats Report (but not me). The Pelóri-Lothlórien game will break that tie.

As for the quarterfinals score predictions: morm 2/4 (the Doriath-Valinor game); Boro 1/4 (Doriath's score); Nilp 0/4.

[Gwathagor]

Wow, there goes my lead. Thanks, Westernesse.

[Boromir88]

My apologies for the delay in the Angband-Doriath semi final. Between work and WW this is taking longer than I anticipated to write, but will be finished and posted tonight. It's a dandy.

[Boromir88]

Semi-final completed.

My sincerest apologies for the huge slow down on this one. I was finishing it up late after work a few days ago, but was not happy with what I was writing at all. Scrapped the whole thing (which probably was not a good idea in hindsight). I asked tp if he could do it, but he's pretty bogged down this weekend too.

After some brief distractions of friends and needed encouragement capped off by having the Game of Thrones bought for me, it's done. It can't be worth the wait, but hopefully fun to read.

[Galadriel55]

Don't be silly, Boro! It is better that you think!
