Wow, WHATTHEFREAK happened with that? They need to tell us how they're calculating scores now because that was not right. Maybe massive amounts of Faerieland supporters were glitched off Faerieland? Maybe most Faerieland supporters didn't know what they were doing? But Faerieland should have gotten one of the decent scores at least. I want to know

My only guess is that the youngest members are attracted by Faerieland and Darigan (as they are the prototypical "good" and "evil"), and, being young and honest, submitted their losses as well as their wins.

I was rooting for Altador because I like their classical Roman motif. Now that I have a better understanding of how this game is going to work and who's playing for whom, I have to figure out which team to switch over to. :roll:

I would laugh so hard if all the winning teams from each round drew those childish Neo users and ended up causing all the best teams from previous rounds to lose.

Oh, and I think I'm gonna go to Roo Island because they have pretty colors

As a Lost Desert supporter, I am more than shocked that Virtupets was so far apart from us. I seriously thought we were in a run for our money.

Oh, well. I hope it is all water under the bridge now

Together we can take the rest of the tournament.

Yay!!

Mystery Island got the most points overall.

I was so expecting to be trounced by Faerieland. lol Now I'm more excited for Round 2. ^.^

hehe, the neoboards are so silly.

Lots of them are trying to get more players on their team by telling their losing opponents to rejoin them....

Ive seen adds for team:
Meriqua
Tyroonia
The Citadel of Terror
The Terror Citadel
Kikovale

and even Krawkador.

Talk about original. :lol:

Volgoth for MVP.

As it stands, I see we have a difficult road ahead of us. Being that my team won :evil:

I still have the 'Play' option. The AI seems MUCH faster than it had previously, unless I'm much mistaken. The usual techniques still seem to work, but the Faerie ball seems to be a DEATH sentence, again! Luckily, it's still practice, which means I should be back in the groove in no time.

I totally agree! TOTALLY!

The AI on jelly world is way faster.... they shot a goal on me in about 5 seconds the first time i played them after the first round. Then they slowed down once i started working around them. but... i do think they are going to be harder.

And yes, the Faerie ball IS A death sentence. The fire and snow/ice balls all have techniques you can use to score with them, and the mutant ball is also useable if you can wield it properly. But the fairyball... it has an OBVIOUS pattern to it, but its so HARD... whenever i shot with it, it doesnt arc enough that the goalie cant block it, and they can ALWAYS shoot it in. So my strategy is to LET THEM SCORE ON ME when the have a faerieball, or heck, score on myself... in hopes that in the time i didnt waste trying to score with the faerieball, i can score two or three times with the others. Yeah... thats a sad strategy, but it proves how evil that fairyball is!

Well, the players seem a bit faster, but I got two faerie balls in a row just now, and they both went in exactly like they've gone in before for me. I did waste a minute trying to score a mutant ball, though, but those things have been giving me trouble for days now. :oops:

(I still have the play option as well. Go figure.)

Is it much faster? Seems the same to me... just thrashed the practise team 9-1... the 1 goal against coming from having too much time after scoring 9 goals and fooling around :lol:

We were playing mind games with you LDers.
Unfortunately, it probably just made you all work harder

Maybe it was because I hadn't played in awhile, but they did seem faster than I last remember. As some of you who are really used to playing round 1 opponents may have forgotten, The Jelly World practice team isn't the same speed as all opponents. That's why after over 100 games with TM, I don't quite remember the Jelly World team so well. In any case, I found myself a Sweet Spot for the Faerie Ball, which shall remain a secret to the Darigan Citadel as part of a vaulted offense. Any Darigan supporters, I will try to have a picture showing the Sweet Spot for any of the four shooting positions available soon. I will post when I have the "Secret Weapon" ready, I must also mention that the player position is KEY.

With our new knowledge, we shall become INVINCIBLE! And there's nothing any of you snotty goody-two-shoes types can do to stop us.
(Insert maniacal cackling)

I will of course, need proper proof that you are supporting Darigan in order to disclose this highly classified information.
