Rushed for time, but I promise, I'll get my trades in as soon as I can.

the phantom · 07-18-2013, 08:30 PM

Just letting everyone know, the games of round 2 will start rolling on Sunday.

satansaloser2005 · 07-18-2013, 09:22 PM

Excellent. I'll try to do my picks tomorrow evening, but if I forget, phantom, you have my permission to phone me and shout a lot.

satansaloser2005 · 07-20-2013, 10:01 PM

I'm actually decently happy with my squad, at least enough to give them another round as they are. Switching captaincy to Curufin is tempting, and not doing so will probably put me down the list a little, but I'd rather stay consistent than chase after previous victories. After all, Smaug is a flipping dragon. Also, this.

Shastanis Althreduin · 07-21-2013, 08:42 PM

You know, I think I'm just going to go ahead and give my team one more shot. Leave it as is for round two.

Galadriel55 · 07-28-2013, 07:07 PM

I came back, but not back enough to figure out what's going on (or I'm just too busy defending one epic hero over at the Books forum

). Can someone tell me where we are right now and what/if I need to do something to my team in the near future?

the phantom · 07-28-2013, 11:05 PM

Perfect timing, Galadriel. Round 2 just finished. I'll be posting the points and such shortly....

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-29-2013, 03:19 AM

I'm probably gonna change my mind on a midfield slot and a defender or two, but, then again, I might not.

Atashi no Negai ~more aggressive~
GK Hyarmendacil (The Sea)
DF BoroWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
DF Balrog #4 (AC Beleriand)
DF Tar-Telperiën (Armenelos)
DF *Ulmo (The Sea)
MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos)
MF *Elros (Armenelos)
MF *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW Finrod (Nargothrond)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)
FW *Miriel (Real Valinor) (C)

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-29-2013, 08:12 AM

Well, this was definitely better than first round, but still nothing so great. But I am being conservative. Let's see about these.

--DF Radagast
--MF Saruman
--FW Khamul

++DF Balrog#5
++MF Glorfindel
++FW Glaurung

So, we have:

Salt and More Smoke

GK Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)

DF Uinen (The Sea)
DF GaladriWight (TIG)
DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum)
DF *Varda (Imladris)

MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos)
MF NogWight (Eriador)
MF *Glorfindel (Eriador)

FW *Glaurung (Nargothrond)
FW *Scatha (Wilderland)
FW *Arien (Valimar) C

Inziladun · 07-29-2013, 08:40 AM

Let's see if I can keep the current trend going.

--GK *Ungoliant (Angband)
++GK Marach (AC Beleriand)
--MF *Elwe (Doriath)
++MF *Phantomwolf (TIG)
--FW Legolas (Dwarves United)
++FW *Miriel (Real Valinor)
--FW Ar Pharazon (Armenelos)
++FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)

GK- Marach (AC Beleriand)
DF *Morgoth (Angband)
DF BoroWolf (TIG)
DF Aragorn (Eriador) (C)
DF Luthien (Inter Beleriand)
MF *Phantomwolf (TIG)
MF Hador (Hithlum)
MF Argon (FC Valinor)
FW *Gothmog (Angfauglith)
FW *Miriel (Real Valinor)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)

Nogrod · 07-29-2013, 07:20 PM

Okay... going quite fine but Mr. Nilp & co are getting a bit too far ahead. So some drastic measures - and coming back towards my team-roots then.

I'm changing the whole "downstairs" of my team and basically going even more for my first year's "Beauties and the Beasts" -team spirits allowing only females and beasts / creatures of some sort into my team... there will be still two exceptions with that principle but I will - or then not - try to get to deal with them later...

So, the changes:

-- GK *Shastawolf (T-I-G)
++ GK Amroth (Anduin)

-- DF Thorondor (FC Valinor)
-- DF Amras (Tirion)
-- DF Alatar (Barad-Dûr)
-- DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
++ DF Rochallor (AC Beleriand)
++ DF BoroWolf (T-I-G)
++ DF *Ulmo (The Sea)
++ DF *Morgoth (Angband)

-- MF NerWight (T-I-G)
++ MF NogWight (Eriador)

-- FW Thranduil (Wilderland)
++ *Arien (Valimar)

Which results in the following team for round three.

Noggportunistics

GK - Amroth (Anduin)

DF - Rochallor (AC Beleriand)
DF - BoroWolf (T-I-G)
DF - *Ulmo (The Sea)
DF - *Morgoth (Angband)

MF - NogWight (Eriador)
MF - Hador (Hithlum)
MF - *Yavanna (FC Valinor)

FW - Aredhel (Tirion)
FW - *Arien ( Valimar) C
FW - *Miriel (Real Valinor)

EDIT: A change: I'll put all on Arien this round... thence the captaincy (she made me the champion last season - now it's time to see if she can deliver this time as well) moves from Miriel to her.
