Eye Arda Cup Football 2009

It's that time, folks!

After last year's thrilling tournament and fantasy competition, you'd think we would just stop so as to end on a high note. But no! This year will be even better!

There are all sorts of trade rumors floating about. How many teams will experience roster shake ups? And once the rosters are set, who are the favorites? Who are the sleepers? Who will have problems with team chemistry?

Legendary sports writers Nogrod and Skip will keep you up to date, and take you through the tournament game by game. And there's even talk that the great Hookbill may have a thing or two to add to the fun.

But the only thing that can for certain make this year better than last is your participation! Give your opinions, react to the news, and most importantly- own a Phantasy Team!

Last year Gwathagor's squad came away victorious. Will he win yet again, or will some brilliant Downer steal his crown? The fantasy thread will open once the final rosters are released, and the rules for selection will be posted there.

You have a bit of time before things really get rolling. Tell your friends, tell your enemies! Perhaps take a look at last year's tournament to see how some of the teams and players performed.

If you have questions, comments, or simply want to accounce your participation, post away. The thread is open!

Oh, UDUN YES BABY.

Will the press be covering these most impressive events?

If so, I'd like to sign on as the young, attractive cultural correspondent and do a series of pieces about the locations of the matches, fans who have travelled to watch the games, the riots that will most assuredly happen...

One year wiser, it's time to put right the wrong of last summer. Sign me up.

Try putting some Wargs in the teams this year, phantom. I'd suggest entering a team of Wargs but then there would be no contest.

I don't fully understand it. Do you just start rooting for a team? I think that by watching it, I can figure it out.

You draft your own team from the list of players in the tournament, and based on their performances in their games, you are awarded points. For instance, if you select Gandalf to be on your team, and he scores a goal in his game, then you receive points for it.

The whole own-your-own-phantasy-team thing will be explained on a different thread before the tournament begins. The rules might seem complicated at first, but it's easy once you get the hang of it.

And if, when I open the phantasy thread, my rules seem muddled and unclear to you (even Phantom is short on sleep sometimes), I will personally answer every question you have and walk you through the steps of selecting your team!

The more people play, the more fun this will be, so I'm dedicated to helping everyone get situated.

So do you think Mordor will be able to tackle its hooligan problem this year? The amount of decapitations and Morgul blade stabbings last year really made the beautiful game ugly. When you go to a football match you really don't want to go home as a wraith enslaved by Sauron for all eternity do you.

I don't think it would be anything like that. Check the last years tournament - I think phantom had a link here somewhere not far away from these posts.

(EDIT: it's on post #1 of this thread.)


Anyway it takes time for me and Skip (and tp) to write the narrations to the games and there will be like one full round at the time after which the players can upgrade their teams. So more like a week than a day before you have to react once again after sorting your team out once.

But sure everyone can study the statistics as much as they like to do it. But I'd say spending hours with them would be a waste of time...

There is a last bit of business to take care of here. What about the Tol-In-Gaurhoth team? Who will play for the defending bronze medalists?

I will exercise moderator privilege here and put myself on the team, and Nogrod and Skip of course can do the same. But that still leaves several slots open for any Werewolves of Downer origin. Shall we vote for team members perhaps, and establish that, say, three votes for one person places them on the team?

Very well, how many votes per person? I suggest just the one. And my vote will go to: obloquy! Get him in the team.

A huge leather-bound volume of the complete HOME - from a great height.

For everyone other than Elmo, we're talking about Mordor's latest signing, one Kyle Lafferty - they can have him on loan from their more evil sister team, Glasgow Rangers.

You can nominate as many as you wish, and then two people will have to second your nomination.

Ah, sorry Morm.

The TIG team should be made of Werewolves of course, being the Isle of Werewolves, but we need to vote on which Werewolves.

I've already placed Phantomwolf on the team, and Nogrod has a place for Nogwolf on the team. I'm not actually sure if Skip has ever been a Werewolf before, but as an author and mod for this tournament he can get round that. Gwathawolf has also been awarded a slot due to his victory here last year.

At this point there are four slots filled, and Wereomer has been nominated, as has Mithalwolf.

Fyi, the Phantasy thread will open later this week, and I'm hoping to get the tournament under way around the close of the month.

I truly second Mith into the Tol-In-Gaurhoth -team!

And morm should be made tha "brasilian" in the team - whichever team it will be in your simulations tp! The libero-midfielder or the wing-defender who makes sudden runs to the top of the offence...


Do any participants into the game wish to have themselves included? The line-up surely is for the phantom to decide but you could also nominate yourselves (or others you think are especially ww-tops and interested in football - or hating it!) and maybe give some ideas what would be the position you (or your nomination) would play?

If a host of people want to be the forwards I could have Nogwolf play the goalkeeper as well, or a midfielder, or a defender. Just saying it's not a big thing to me. My kicks from this will come from writing the narrations and looking after my phantasy-team...

But in a way, I would love to have my lupine-simulacra as the goalie... unless others insist.


Looking then at the werewolves from the BD...

How about Fea, Boro...? Or Mac, Rikae, Lommy, Aganzir, Volo, Brinn, Nerwen, Rune (we need "Rune's Redskins" -team for this game anyway!)...?

Could we get any one of them playing this game as well? They're all werewolf-legends already.

Or if we need to take in those not seen around for some time but still great WW-heroes: Spm, Roa, Valier, Di, Anguirel, Kuru... yeah I probably forgot a host of people but I'm off to sleep now.

And surely the Barrow-Wight started the werewolf here, and lmp came up with the concept of Dueling Wizards...

Continue the list... And argue for your - or someone else's - place in the T-I-G line-up!

It's true, I've never played a ww-game. Although I'd be honoured to play (my footballing self is a creative midfielder too lazy to backtrack) I might just give up my slot because of that.

I also second (or third) Mithawen. Bet she's glued to the telly every Saturday when Match Of the Day is on!

The competition thread is up! The groupings and rosters are all there. You may begin selecting your team on that thread. Feel free to come up with your own special name for your team.

And we still need to settle who is on the Tol-In-Gaurhoth team. We need some Barrow-Downs Werewolves!

Phantom, Nogrod, Skip, and Gwath are on the team. We need seven more!

At this time I will second Boro and Morm since they will be participating.

Holby, Mac, Rikae, Lommy, Aganzir, Volo, Brin, Nerwen, Rune, SPM, Kuru, Ang, Di, Valier, Roa, and LMP have all been nominated.

Morm, Eomer, Boro, and Fea have been seconded, and need one final vote to be on the team.

Is there any way I can participate in this? I think I may be asking a bit too late and I am not sure I fully understand this.

Yes, Hakon, you can own a Phantasy team and make predictions and follow the tournament along with everyone else.

The Phantasy thread is open. The rules are there, so you can select your team any time now.

I would like to substitute myself in for Kent if that will be acceptable.

Gwath- your official teams and predictions go on the Phantasy thread, but feel free to expand upon your predictions and give reasoning here on this thread. Come up with your own rankings or anything you can think of. Tomorrow or the next day I'll start sending out PMs to those who expressed interest but haven't taken action yet.
