While I am obviously disappointed, I am unsurprised...well, except for Turin from whom I was hoping for much more.

However, I only have one change I want to make. I figure Turin can't keep doing horribly forever.

Cough cough, Kuru, isn't, like, Galadriel, like, with an asterisk? So that'd make five, which shouldn't be possible? (Unless I misunderstood the rules.)

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

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.

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:

Noggportunistics

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

Ooops. Indeed, you are right.

Unfortunately, I don't have any time at all today to devote to this so I'll just...
