The Phantasy Team Competition is fast approaching!!
Tell your friends, tell your enemies, and tell those people you don't really talk to! ![]() Last season that yearly powerhouse Gwath took home the title for the second time, finishing well clear of everyone else in the field. Can anyone stop him from repeating? Perhaps another past champion, Skip, or Boro, will make their own argument for being the greatest of all time. Or maybe some perpetual threat, like Nog, or Nerwen, will finally break through. Or what of Sally, Shasta, Nilp, Morm, or Eomer- all have had bright spots. Perhaps this is the year that everything comes together for them. But yet again, we could be treated to a surprise- perhaps Galadriel or Inzil will catapult ahead after learning the ropes their rookie season. Or maybe an old hand will return to us in glorious fashion- Wilwa, McCaber, Steve, Fea-Ni, Hakon, Lari, Glirdan, TGEW... Or could a fresh face unexpectedly shake things up? We'll see.... ****************** ****************** Before I list the rules for this year's competition, we need to take care of some business, and we need your help. We need to vote on the roster for Tol In Gaurhoth!! ![]() Per tradition (and as a reward for lots of game-writing and organization), Nog and I are on the team, as is Nilp for his article-writing and brackets and charts and match-writing contributions this year. So, there are EIGHT open slots on the team. I am reserving THREE of those spots for the first three Downers that announce their participation in the Phantasy Competition if this year is their first time playing. That means there are currently FIVE slots open to election. As of now everyone is allowed five total votes for either nominating or seconding. Anyone that receives four votes is in immediately, and if not enough Downers have received the necessary number of votes by the end of next week I will simply take the highest vote getters. The team currently stands- Tol In Gaurhoth GK- (TBAwolf) DF- (TBAwight) DF- (TBAwight) DF- (TBAwight) DF- NilpWolf MF- (TBAwight) MF- (TBAwight) MF- (TBAwight) MF- PhantomWolf FW- (TBAwight) FW- NogWolf

Yay, I'm in the team again!
Oh, and I must say: nobody but the Werewolf Psychic ShastaWolf, who had a monster season last year, deserves to be our goalkeeper again. ++ShastaWolf

Hurray! It's on! (quite early this year too!)
Ahem. Definitely psychic, definitely deserving, but unfortunately only a Wight - ++Shasticle Also, ++Boro He's a requirement. Nuff said.

Posting to subscribe and follow this thread, might as well add something useful too...
++Shasta Normally I would decline, because I would feel a bias being a TIG player and the head tourney official. But since there is the writer/reporter Boromir the 88th, the head ref Boro88...what's one more alternate personality? BoroWight...not to be confused with the BarrowWight, or BorrowWight.

For myself, I agree - it's been a long time since we've seen a player!Boro.
++Boro And of course, that sneaky minx herself and my own Moonlight Rose... ++Nerwen Oh, and Sally's always good for a laugh and an assist or two. ++Sally For my fourth vote, I'm going completely and randomly off-the-wall to see if anyone will pick up on it, because I think it'd be an interesting thing to see happen - ++Aganzir

++Prince Boromir the Inconceivable
++Shasticle the Sugary Psychic ++Nilpaurion Felagund, Beloved Receiver of His Own Vote (and Mine) I'm saving my last two votes so I can see how the teams shapes up. And, of course, the Cupkicks are fresh and ready for the tournament! ![]()

Nice to see you back on the squad Boro! But as you and Shasta will be most probably elected without my vote I'm going for putting up some competition to Arien, Miriel, Nerdanel and Aredhel.
++ Nerwen ++ Sally ++ Aganzir ++ Galad55 Then I suppose Gwath needs to stand behind his great phantasy performances also in the team and show he's as good as Bombadill on the field. ++ Gwatha

I was holding off voting my cousin the Warg to see if he'll play again this year (I still have to pay him back for last year's come-from-behind finish over me. xD ) But if we are to add more teeth to this 'Isle of One-Third Werewolves' team: ++EomerWarg

Wow, that was quick!
![]() All right then... Tol In Gaurhoth GK- ShastaWolf DF- (TBAwight) DF- (TBAwight) DF- BoroWight DF- NilpWolf MF- (TBAwight) MF- AganWight MF- SallyWight MF- PhantomWolf FW- NerWight FW- NogWolf If someone should end up off the team or if there is not the full number of brand new players filling the three remaining slots, Galadriel55 will be the first to fill in. And... ++Gwath That should make Gwath our second fill in. And now, on to the official business of recruiting more participants. Help us out, everyone. The more people that play, the more people you can beat. ![]() In the meantime, the final two rounds of friendly matches will continue on the competition thread. The writers are doing a bang-up job! ![]()

This. It's been less than a day!
![]() ETA: my bad. For some reason I thought it was 3 wolves, but it's 4... so Shasta is not a wight...

I just realised I forgot to post here that I will not appear for a week, starting tomorrow, so I'll have to miss whatever will happen in that time. I'm still going to be around after, though.

No problem, Galadriel- you'll be back in plenty of time for EAisticle to sum up the friendlies and say lots of ridiculous things before the tournament starts.
![]() I'm extremely busy with holiday things right now, but round 4 of friendlies will be under way around Tuesday, and we'll also be recruiting heavily. Help us out if you can. ![]()

Lhuna doesn't count as a new player, doesn't she?
Too bad, she asked me to check her account for PMs.

The writers and mods are fairly busy right now, but friendlies will be wrapping up here in the next couple days.
Lots of recruiting emails are being sent out, but feel free to help us recruit more players. The full rosters with rules and such will be released sometime next week, so be sure and check back here to get a head start on selecting your teams.

Btw, what do you think will happen if Sauce finds out that we're using his likeness as a footballer? Will we face litigation?

Full rosters and the rules are coming up soon, and I'm feeling very lonely here.
This is just like Werewolf. Timezones FTL!

Oh, hi phantom.
![]() Oh, and remember, if you're new to this declare your participation quickly in order to gain one of the remaining free spots on the T-I-G team. Be part of a winning tradition! (Next post will be phantom's.)
