Altador Cup (Split 6)

[Ange]

You said it. I kept DVDs playing in a window next to the game the whole time. I went through a whole season of Babylon 5 the last day. I had already watched the entire runs of Justice League, JLU, Brimstone, and several other shows. There's no way I could have posted as many games as I did if I actually had to pay attention to them.

I should've used those methods, lol!

I'm sure some of the prizes will be customizable. That's all they seem to care about now a days anyway.

i wish the 'watch something else' method worked for me, but i can't multi-task that well. even when looking at the screen it could take me a while to get a goal.

I played music, and chatted with my fellow Tyrannians between games. It was amazing how much quicker time went when I had music on.

As glad as I am to have reached all my goals, I definately won't be playing nearly as much next year. It's just not worth it, especially during the most beautiful part of summer.



*lol* Wow, when I made a tiny wording edit last time, it somehow cut out part of my sentence. Changed to say what I actually meant.

If doing well I could play two games while listening to the Mjolnir remix.

Aww, that's a shame. I guess I'm lucky being able to multi-task.
Things are slightly slower at work today, so I figured I'd see how well I can remember what all movies we went through during the Cup:
Hook, Ever After, Princess Bride, Willow, Showboat, at least two seasons of Hogan's Heroes, all 6 Star Wars movies (over a weekend...in order), Star Trek IV, V, VII, VIII, and IX, Aladdin, Anastasia, Court Jester, Little Mermaid, Men In Black, and at least a couple others, but I can't remember anymore off hand. I think we watched more movies over the second half of the cup (when we actually really cracked down) than we have in the previous 3 months!
{goes off to continue waiting on prizes} I know the odds aren't good...but maybe they'll be out for the weekend?

I was looking through my SDB, and found what I'd gotten last year - the Altador Colosseum Stamp, which is now worth like, 600k-700k, as compared to the Yooyu, which I bought, and is still only worth 350k-400k (but had cost more plot points to get, go figure). My husband has the Underdog book, and it's worth at least 500k now. I suppose if I wanted to sell the stamp, I could...but I tend to hold onto plot prizes for sentimental reasons (kinda like the 5 books from the Lost Desert plot - there's something about seeing the "Anubis Toxicology Reports" book that brings both shudders and reminiscent feelings...).

I was doing something similar, too.
One year ago, I decided to gave up better prizes to get 2 “Underdog History”. A fine investment.
Barelly reaching level 7, I’ll probably don’t have much points to do such investments this year, however.
Here's hope for some jester-based clothing, in honour of Roo.

Court Jester

The pellet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon!

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle!

I watch the entire first season of the Vicar of Dibley to get me through the cup.

And there, I can help you: Altador Cup Prizes
Please note, this page does not seem to be up to date as far as current value goes, but I found it while rummaging through my old plot help links and it does have the images from the prize shop, etc.

And...the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!....that is, at least after they broke the chalice from the palace...

[Rubywinged]

oh thanks pickles


mmm pickles....

I'm sure some of the prizes will be customizable. That's all they seem to care about now a days anyway.

If you look at most of the new items they're mainly customizable, but i do think there will be some normal items too for prizes. I say there will definetly will be some form of customizable items.

Maybe some of the prizes will be team jerseys (that are actually wearable!). I'd definitely like a jersey! Books would be nice too and plushies (since I collect those).

[zorg]

Team Jerseys would be fun! I'd definitely buy those.

Do you think they'd make a new site theme or just have the current altador site theme avaliable for purchase if you didn't get it last time?
