Altador Cup III

[eilu]

I was Mystery Island for AC I and II but I might go Darigan this year for a change (was always torn between those two)... or maybe Krawk Island just for the piratey-ness of it all.

I totally suck at yooyu ball (kept accidentally getting the yooyu into the other team's goal), so I pretty much just stick to make some noise and slushie slinger, but maybe this year...?

edit: how many are secretly supporting Jelly World deep inside?

I don't like either SS or MSN. If they were weighted equally to YYB or they were fun games, I'd play them, but since they're not I figure if I'm going to play I might as well stick with YYB.

And I'm hoping it won't be a double round robin this year, it did feel like too much last year.

Exams till the 14th of June! It just won't leave me and as I see no sign ups on Monday which means more time for me. at least 5 days of practice I say. That way I'll only lose the first 4 days.

BTW I liked the double round robin system it's much more international plus it'd be even cooler if they would have some relegation battle too so the last team goes out the next year and gets replaced by the team that sitted out this year.

I hope the news updates early today.

[schlough]

Well, I was roo through and through last year, but those uniforms are just too goofy for my liking. I'm goin' Shenkuu!

[butterflygirl]

Darn, no mention in the news yet. Maybe tomorrow...

[Matrinka]

Hopefully the delays are because TNT are perfecting everything for the Cup. I personally can't WAIT to get started!

According to JellyNeo, they think there is going to be a new way of scoring for rank this year:

A Yooyuball win = 1 point
A Slushie Slinger win = .25 points
A Make Some Noise win = .15 points
With a tie equaling 1/2 of a win.

I'm still sticking to YYB, for the most part.

Shenkuu for the win!

According to what I read on another site that is the way they scored it last year.

I think I'm going to stick with Shenkuu again this year. Team loyalty and all that. But I'm kinda considering Krawk Island or Haunted Woods. It's between those three teams for sure, because they pretty much some up the things I'm obsessed with (eastern culture, pirates, and scary/creepy stuff). Well I like Darigan Citadel too for their general evilness. But since Darigan won last year I figure there may be a lot of bandwagon jumpers, and I don't want to be one of them.

I'm getting impatient now!

I wonder if the delay means there won't be a double round robin this year, and so it doesn't need to start as early?

I'm starting to get impatient, too, but honestly, I'll be glad if it's not a double round robin.

once a darigan, always a darigan. nuff said.

The first year I think I went with Brightvale, but I ended up having to keep switching as teams kept losing. I can't even remember who I picked last year -- I was only a "participant" because my computer died around then.

...snip...

Sinri - you could have typed mine... I did nearly the same thing, except I belive I picked Brightvale again last year, but I barely played in ACII.

I will probably stick with Brightvale for ACIII.

On a related note: How about this soccer ball? Looks like a Faerie Yooyooball!

That's fantastic, I wonder if it goes off in random directions when you kick it?

So sign-ups *could* be today- first Friday in June? I'm really geared up for it at the moment... give it 100 games of YYB and I'll be sick of it again!

[Pickles]

La, la, la, la... Oh did you want to know about the Altador Cup?

Looks like they haven't forgotten it...but there's not much there...

I'm supporting Altador again. They were always very nice on the boards when I was there despite being baited by other people showing up in our threads.
