Aye, Galadriel has 1-star. Puts you 1 over the limit for this round, Kuru.

So this was my team of mediocrity on round 1.

So let's make a few changes... and keep only Elrond, Phantomwolf and Húrin.

-- DF – Vana of Valimar
++ DF – Balrog #5 of Inter Beleriand

-- DF – Girion of Erebor
++ DF – Celeborn of Anduin

-- DF – Malbeth of Eriador
++ DF – Felarof of Rohan

-- DF – Balrog #1 of Angband
++ DF – Uinen of the Sea

-- MF – Ingwë of Tirion
++ MF – Elwë of Wilderland

-- MF – Pallando of Valimar
++ MF – Yavanna of FC Valinor

-- FW – Eöl of AC Beleriand
++ FW – Thuringwethil of Anfaughlith

-- FW – *Maeglin of Gondolin
++ FW – *Miriel of Real Valinor

I feel like we'll do okay, now that FC Val isn't facing Real Val. I'll go ahead and leave mine for now.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Speaking of extra stars, Nogrod, Felarof has one. So you're over the limit, too.

Oops!

How is it, if we do it like follows...

You phantom throw a dice as to which of the non-starred Rohan defenders I'll get into my team, as surely I picked Felarof not because of it's splendid individual performance or overpowering love for the beast, but just being a Rohan defender.

For to be honest I do have the results already and if I was allowed to pick another Rohan defender myself I theoretically could check if some of them made points or took yellow cards (I checked the post in haste in the morning just to see how the games ended to satiate my curiosity, but didn't actually read them any more closely) and make my choice accordingly. So even if I wouldn't do it, it would sound fair to me if you tp just randomized it, whether I get Snowmane, Shadowfax or Radagast into my team for this round 2. And there would be no second thoughts in anyone's mind whether this was done decently.

So what say you?


That way my team would be then:

GK – * Elrond of Eriador
DF – Balrog #5 of Inter Beleriand
DF – Celeborn of Anduin
DF – ??????? of Rohan (to be randomized by tp)
DF – Uinen of the Sea
MF – Elwë of Wilderland
MF – Yavanna of FC Valinor
MF – *Phantomwolf of T-I-G
FW – *Húrin of Hithlum (C)
FW – Thuringwethil of Anfaughlith
FW – *Miriel of Real Valinor

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I see that phantom already jumped the gun . . .

So, to morm, McCaber, Eomer, Nerwen, Eonwe:

I'll post the results of Group G in nine hours. So if you want to use players from that group in your phantasy squad, now's the time to do so.

(This is also to call dibs on the next post for my fellow writers.)

[the phantom]

Ah, sorry Nog. I didn't spot that.

Dice says 4, so- Shadowfax for your squad.

And yes, to confirm what Nilp said- if someone didn't make any trades at all before this round you can switch out a couple of your players if they have not played yet and their replacements haven't played yet.

Before the third round you'll have a bit longer to make trades (7 or 8 days), as it will be your final chance to make unlimited trades.
