So i only get 1 pick?
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 09:27 AM
Hey you're here! You get one pick, then allstar gets two then you get another one.
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 09:28 AM
I'll pick Blacksyphon (du).
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 09:29 AM
Thx :)
The Exile
09-21-2005, 09:29 AM
Unfortunately my list depends on the other captains' picks, as I am judging which seems the strongest team and picking people who would do well against that team. (No, I'm not telling you which team I consider the biggest threat. :p) Therefore I can't just send you my list and you pick according to that. I know that would speed things up, but I would prefer to pick my own team.
Let's all be patient. In his original post, Mithrandir said this thing would take 2-3 weeks to get off the ground, and we're not into week 2 yet.
Edit: yes, nice pick DL, du was heading towards the top of my list.
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 09:31 AM
I have the possibility to be on during 16 hours of the day,so i can pick anytime:)
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 09:31 AM
Be patient??? Be PATIENT??!! How can we do that?! :(
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 09:32 AM
Too bad you don't know Allstar'd list...;)
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 09:34 AM
Yeah. We'll just have to wait for him. Nothing else we can do.
Exile, what is the latest you can be on? If we could all be on at the same time for fifteen stinkin' minutes we could go through half the draft.
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 09:35 AM
I'll be back online in exacly 7 hours at the most,i gtg to bed.
The Exile
09-21-2005, 09:45 AM
I'll be online tonight on and off for, guess what, 7 hours.
I MIGHT be able to stick around a while longer, if everyone is on. If one person is missing in 7 hours time I'll be off to bed as well.
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 09:58 AM
Four of the five of us might be on in seven hours but I doubt allstar will be. He tends to come on later.

Damn fellow-NJ leader! :p
allstarGL
09-21-2005, 10:31 AM
i get out of school at 3 eastern and then I'm gong to go cut my grandfathers lawn. I might be able to be on as early as 430. But if my fathr gets on the computor it will be hard for me to get him off it. I'll see what I can do we could get quite a few rounds done tonight.
Dragoen Link
09-21-2005, 10:42 AM
I pick Hoolwath.
allstarGL
09-21-2005, 10:43 AM
I pick Hoolwath.
I hate you..
Hahaha Hilarious. :bigsmile:
The Exile
09-21-2005, 10:50 AM
I'm up next, correct?
I pick .Vash. I'm putting my trust in 12's judgement here. He says he's a good player.
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 10:59 AM
Fortunately, LT gave me his next four picks and you guys didn't pick any of them.
On behalf of LT, he chooses Scoutblade and wolf-boy.
Your turn Exile.
allstarGL
09-21-2005, 11:01 AM
ahh school in 10 mins.... HURRY HURRY
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:02 AM
DL isn't here anyway, I think after Exile takes his next pick we'll have to wait a bit to get much further.
allstarGL
09-21-2005, 11:03 AM
Ok im leaving I'll try and be back before 5.
wolf-boy
09-21-2005, 11:05 AM
w00t, go LT's team.
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:07 AM
This is really anyone's game. It's hard to tell what the best team is. One could make an argument for any team, but I'm thinking Allstar and Exile look the best right now.
The Exile
09-21-2005, 11:07 AM
OK, my next pick is ~De@thWi$h~.
My team so far:
Exiled
wolfman
Realist
bludhoundz
Snarr
.Vash.
~De@thWi$h~
It's getting harder to pick. The top 10-20 players have all gone, now we're onto the middle 20 or so, and then we're left with those who aren't particularly well known.
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:08 AM
Dang, that makes the argument for Exile quite a bit stronger.
wolf-boy
09-21-2005, 11:09 AM
Very briefly, could someone give me the order of the picks..like 1 2 3 4 then 4321..you know?
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:10 AM
Check out the third post of this thread. All the picks have numbers next to them.
The first post explains the way it works also.
wolf-boy
09-21-2005, 11:10 AM
Ok, sorry for the spam. Ty for clearing it up.
The Exile
09-21-2005, 11:11 AM
As the only non-GL-based leader, I feel I have the best overview of all the players... most of the players picked so far have been from GL, as they pick their clan mates and players they know are good, but I've been able to pick up some high-quality Army and Banff players quite cheaply :)
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:12 AM
Man, now we have to wait for DL. And even after he shows up we'll have to wait for allstar to come back before we can really get things moving again.
wolf-boy
09-21-2005, 11:14 AM
Yea, I've got the big part of my suspense dealt with, I was just curious who's team I was going to be on.
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:31 AM
Yeah, at least you've been picked. Most people still have to wait.
Once the draft finishes though, there is no telling how long the trading process will take. It could be done in a day, with all the leaders unwilling to cooperate with each other or it could take weeks, with lots of negotiations, suggestions and deals.
At least the roster part should go quick.
well as said in numerous posts everyone has there days, so i think itll come down to how much a leader is able to pump up his team.
every team hsa amzing players, i def was hopin snarr blud and geek would be around to be picked by our team, but as i said, everyone thats been picked so far has the capability to be good. So, well see what team has got the pumpupinacity to get the job done.
- Legit Penguin
Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 11:50 AM
And don't forget, the way the teams look now COULD be completely different when the battles start. There is no telling what kind of big trades there could be.
The leaders have a great deal of work to do yet, it's definitely too early to tell who has the best shot.
BaxVarlet
09-21-2005, 11:53 AM
I Think it's almost better to be less known when it comes to this tourney. You are seen as the underdog in many of your matches, and your opponent could come in with an un-deserved confidence.
*Blames Mith for having such a good tourney idea, and making me check the forums too much*
.Vash.
09-21-2005, 12:35 PM
I'm up next, correct?
I pick .Vash. I'm putting my trust in 12's judgement here. He says he's a good player.
Thanks exile, I wont let you down, ill train my head off even more then before!

Mithrandir
09-21-2005, 01:27 PM
I'm sorry man but you can't be in. Signups closed and it would throw the whole thing off to add more people. You aren't the only person to want to join just a little too late. I wouldn't worry, considering the popularity of this idea I'm sure someone will run a second one sometime.

If LT insent able to get on Rev. this weekend this will take a lot longet than i thought it would, which makes more suspense!!!!

Everyone knew all the pre-battle stuff would take a while, I'm not concerned about that (though I am getting impatient of course).

I'm thinking the trading wont be that intense. Not until after the first round of battles are done anyway, no one is going to want to trade the players they picked.

No trading will be allowed after the first round of battles. If it was, we could have a situation where I dead team just gave all their good players to another team.

lol, sounds like the competition is getting fierce.
What do you think allstar, how long do you think the trading process will take?
allstarGL
09-22-2005, 10:25 AM
depends how active we are in talks. No offers would mean it should be over ina day lost of offers a week.

LT takes Cliche and EatMine.

Your turn Exile.

09-22-2005, 11:11 AM
I don't know if I have played kb.
Wolf-boy, if I remember correctly, I played you once on some account in Rev, whoever it was told me they were you. I was experimenting with a rush (I had really only turtled up till then) and managed a draw with you in like my 3rd rush game. Credit has to go to Sniper for helping me out with my rushing.
The Exile
09-22-2005, 11:24 AM
Your turn Exile.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
Hmm... I'll take ryan56.
Edit: we're getting to the stage now where I don't know people so well, and a lot of people didn't say what their strengths are in the signup thread. This makes matters more difficult.
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 11:26 AM
The draft is now half over.
Are the decisions getting harder?

The Morgan Warpath and berzerker accounts on the same team, hehehe. How cool is that?

Hello from Oahu! All my relatives are out this time of day, school & work, so I have some free time for selections. When's Allstar get back?
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 02:08 PM
Hey LT! (PM me your next picks)
Edit: Allstar was here earlier, I don't know when he'll be back.
Lonely Tylenol

Right.
One sec.
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 02:13 PM
I hope he gets here soon so we can make some stinkin' progress. Not ONCE has everyone been on at the same time. :mad:
Lonely Tylenol
09-22-2005, 02:15 PM
Exiled leaves late at night, West. European time, and Allstar doesn't get on until early night East. American (or, ahem, Canadian) time, due to his schedule. At least, that's what I think it is. It isn't likely that we'll see the two of them together until weekend.
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 02:17 PM
They've both been on today. Actually I think at one point all four of us were here. Not for long though.

First off, wow this is one long tournament we are looking at but I can't wait to see the final showdowns. There are some awesome teams...don't want to wait to see who I get sparred against...choose quickly please!
Second, Mithrandir can you post the rules about what will be considered a turtle into the front of the team selection link. I can't seem to remember what page it was on and with 29 its' taking forever to find 'em. I want to do a few warm up rounds so I want to make sure everythings legit. Plus I think it would be beneficial for everyone to have a quick reference into the official defenition.
thanks

I don't know why ck1 has not been picked yet. If you look at his registration date, It says Jan,2004, which means that CK1 has been around for more than one year. As for as experience is concerned, he should at least be picked by now. Come on guys, have some appreciations for vets. :bigsmile:
Mithrandir

DL should be here within the half hour.
Mithrandir

For the love of God, everyone stay for a half hour!
And yes, you can talk trades anytime you want. You can't make them yet though.
allstarGL
09-22-2005, 04:18 PM
why not?
The Exile
09-22-2005, 04:19 PM
I will stay as long as I can.
I'll PM my next 2 picks to you anyway, Mithrandir, so if neither of them are picked by DL or LT you can get another full round of picks in once I'm gone.
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 04:20 PM
Exile, you ought to PM me a couple of alternates as well, just in case.
Allstar, I don't understand why you wouldn't want to wait for the draft to be done. I'm disinclined to alter the way it was set up from the beginning.
allstarGL
09-22-2005, 04:21 PM
stay on for 1 more hour thats all I ask :p

09-22-2005, 04:37 PM
I'm not sending alternatives, because I still haven't decided who my next player would be, plus it depends on other peoples' picks.
Mithrandir, we're half way through with about 4 days of picking gone, and the weekend to come. Be PATIENT! :)
Mithrandir
09-22-2005, 04:39 PM
Eh, I'm sick and tired of being patient. :)

It means the person shut me down completely.LOL

Allow me to rephrase my question: what difference does it make when you start trading? How was that comment relevant to the previous question?
The Exile
09-22-2005, 04:41 PM
Even if DL comes on now, there won't be enough time to make many picks. I need to go in a couple of minutes.
Resign yourself to another night of waiting, Mithrandir :)

Then obviously you haven't responded to other players' picks, and therefore have a team that is poorly matched against certain other teams. :cool:

Not true. Instead of going with players that have specific skills, I went for groups that were the most well-rounded and when selecting members with certain strong points, I made sure to space them out to get the ones I wanted. :yes3: My pre-planned selections went by using simple calculations, and I must say I am for the most part pleased with the picks they've given me.
By the way, I believe Deathwish was already selected.
