Last groups of predictions and my team will be finished later tonight. I did set last night aside to do that, but got distracted by memories of old threads burried deep within the 'Downs *glares and tp and Nilp *

I'd change up my picks, but I'd probably just muck it up, so I'll leave things as they are. It's better to go with my first instincts, I think.

[Nogrod]

How many do we still lack tp, I mean after Boro's team is up?

Can you give a tentative schedual when the group-action starts?

We still need Skip on board. Can anyone get a hold of him?

I have his cell-phone number. I can send him an SMS, like the next thing I do. It's late here but he should see it the first thing tomorrow...

Then the raccoon incident, yes?

Hahaha, yes that was traumatizing too. There I am napping peacefully on the couch, *scratch*scratch*scratch*...what is this noise? Stinkin raccoon waddled up the porch pawing at the sliding back door!

Predictions all done, see now all that phantasy stuff was just for me to sort out what I want to do. No one else is allowed to look at it.

And seeing as Nog blocked my plan right off the bat, to take Tar Atanamir unnoticed, I shall anticipate one of his future likely choices.

I was actually up (had a late-night visitor) and when the phone beeped I says to myself "who the *beep* would text me at this time on a sunday night!"

Anyway, I'm at work now and busy tonight but I'll try to select a team tomorrow night if you can wait. If you are dying to let this beast loose, just do it, I'll be away without internet soon anyway and won't be able to participate that actively.

Make sure and designate a captain for your team, Skip. (It was your idea after all, wasn't it?)

[skip spence]

Sorry mate, and you're right, I, of all people, should've remembered that. I blame the government!

I edited in the captain (Turin) if it isn't too late.

These are the points gained in the first round of group play. I will edit this list as more results are posted (I don't want to post them early and ruin the drama!). Please do not edit any of your prediction posts or Phantasy Team posts from this point forward. To make changes to your team, make a new post announcing who you are dropping and adding.

[the phantom]

Eomer- I don't believe you ever selected a captain. You can still choose a captain if he plays in a group that has not had results posted yet.

Inzil- trade noted, but of course it won't take effect until next round.

[Inziladun]

Got it. I just thought Alien looked like too much of a loose cannon.

[the phantom]

Cannon indeed, what with the vomiting incident.

[Gwathagor]

I didn't bold the "C" after Ar Pharazon on my roster. Is that going to be a problem?

[Nogrod]

Not in any case, unless the phantom has a mood for it to be a problem...

Heh, don't worry, nice points doubled there.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

RED CARDS:
*TIG- NilpWolf (73, second yellow)

But I gain . . . NOTORIETY!!!

(Btw, the ArdaCup.com Stats Report spreadsheet picture thingy is standing by awaiting the completion of the first round. )

EDIT: Via my partial and unofficial quick-count, Nog (42, 3 unplayed) is in the lead, followed by skip (37, 3 unplayed) who captained Túrin for 22 pts!

And Noggie-kun, Smaug doesn't have a star.

Ah, so it looks like I'll have someone checking my work when I post the points for your phantasy teams then. Excellent. That way it'll be less likely I'll give out too few or too many points to someone.

Yeah, Gwath, I got your captain. No prob.

Quite right! I'd be proud to receive a red card in such a hilarious manner.

[mormegil]

ACK! The one time I don't go with Turin, he does this to me. Honestly I cannot decide what to do with him. I've usually gone with him and he doesn't do great and then I go without and he nails it.

Hehe, well, I just wanted to see where I stood. (I was in the middle of the pack, as usual.)

And spoilers much, fantom? You have the phantasy pts for Group H already--and I can deduce the scores, haha.

[the phantom]

Morm- when I was typing out my list for the phantasy points you earned this round I was indeed shocked not to see Turin on your squad. I actually went to the thread just to double check that I had copied it correctly. "No Turin? That can't be right! He always picks Turin- and Turin's won or tied for the golden boots trophy three straight years, and was 1st-team All-Star all three years, and scored the most phantasy points one year. Surely I copied the wrong team..."

And Nilp- quite right, I already put the points up. But you can't know the scores, can you? You never know how many cards someone may have taken. Be a good boy and read Boro's narrative when it goes up.

[mormegil]

Well when we can switch squads, he will be added, I feel like a betrayer of my own namesake.

There. The Phantasy points from last round are above.

Please let me know if I didn't catch your team name when you gave it, or if you never chose a name and wish to have one.

[the phantom]

Also, just so no new ones are overconfident or unduly depressed, things can turn around in a hurry! Ask any of the old competitors, and they'll tell you that comeback wins are the norm around here. There are still many rounds to go. Leaders don't get smug, and trailers don't feel down.

[the phantom]

Just as a point of interest, here's a great team you could have had in round 1-

Phantasy Dream Team
GK ShastaWolf (TIG) 6
DF KuruWolf (TIG) 4
DF Gamil Zirak (Beleriand) 5
DF Erestor (Eregion) 7
DF Malbeth (Westernesse) 10
MF PhantomWolf (TIG) 6
MF Boromir II (Lothlorien) 8
MF *Durin's Bane (Misty Mts) 9
FW Curufin (Hithlum) 7
FW Arien (Valinor) 8
FW Turin (Doriath) (C) 11
total points = 92

Actually, I got the scores, the yellow cards, and the number of shots on target (+/-1 margin of error) correctly. But I always read the narratives; they're such fun.

Kudos to you three for the great coverage!

(The standings will be up in less than an hour.)

Okay everyone, go ahead and make any changes you wish to your Phantasy Teams. Maximize your points. And don't forget to take note of which team your players are facing! It's very risky to own an offensive player going up against a defensive juggernaut, and the same works in reverse of course. Match-ups are half the battle.
