Phantasy Football: Arda Cup 2010 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

the phantom · 03-01-2010, 11:03 PM

Welcome to the Phantasy Team Competition!

Before I list the rules for this year's competition, we need to take care of one team's roster. Specifically- The Barrow-Downs!

As co-mods, Phantom, Nogrod, and Skip are already on the team (favoritism, I know

), but there are several slots still open. (Boro is a co-mod too, but he elected to be Arda Cup President and Head-Ref rather than a "mere player".)

So, it is time to take nominations and second/third/fourth others who are nominated. If a Downer receives four nods I will automatically place him/her on the team, and if eight members don't reach that point I will take the eight with the most support.

And please don't nominate too many people, or vote for too many people. Keep it limited (at the start especially) to give others a chance to put someone forward.

I'll get things rolling by nominating-
EomerWarg (since Eomer so very much wanted to see wargs playing in the tournament, I figure we can make him a WereWarg player)

I'll second EomerWarg and nominate Feawolf, Gwathwolf and Mithwolf.

I'll second Fea, and nominate TGEW and Glirdan.

I think aside from EomerWarg the 'Downer team this year will be taking human forms to go with a less aggressive style of play.

I third Eomer, second Gwath, and nominate Lari and Mira.

the phantom · 03-03-2010, 06:59 PM

I will second Mira, Lari, and Glirdan if anyone can recruit them to play in the Phantasy tournament.

Nogrod · 03-04-2010, 10:04 AM

I would firstly and foremostly first and second all those who take part in the game.

the phantom · 03-04-2010, 11:42 AM

I've received a message informing me that Mira and Lari will be playing, so... seconded.

TPotSS · 03-05-2010, 09:57 PM

I'd like to fourth Fea and cement her place, because I've always looked up to her and even though I'm not very active, I tend to idolize anything she says or does when I am here.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-05-2010, 09:59 PM

While that's the kind of adoration I was looking for, I think you miscounted, Teapot.

Glirdan · 03-05-2010, 10:00 PM

So Boro has asked me to get in on this and I totally would if my schedule allows it. But sadly, I am not sure what my schedule will be like next week and after that, I'm in "show mode" as I like to call it. In other words, the show I am in opens in just under two weeks time and my life will pretty much be dedicated to that. But I'll think about it and let everyone know by Tuesday night.

the phantom · 03-06-2010, 02:14 PM

I second Lottie and third Gwath.

Let it be known that I have two pointless players...Eomerward and PHANTOM! How odd.

Now that we've reached the stage where we are posting results, DO NOT EDIT OLD POSTS CONTAINING YOUR PHANTASY TEAMS. When this round is over and the Phantasy points and standings have been posted, you may make any desired changes to your team at that time by making a new post announcing your new team.
