Altador Cup III (2008) - Split 4

[Kuri]

I'm on track for my 600 wins target. Is anyone else's target so modest or are you all going for 2000?

600 is actually what my target is as well. (well technically it's 580, but I'd like to get to 600) However, I'm so far behind now, I don't know if I'll be able to do it. I have 340 wins and I dunno exactly how many days are left.

*tries to figure this out*
I'm pretty sure we're on Day 21, so there's another nine days after today for the Round Robin portion, plus the finals. (That should add another 4 days, by this quote from the news entry on the finals: "Under this new structure, the first and fourth place teams will play for two days to determine one finalist, while the winner between the second and third place squads settles the other. Then, the finalists will face off for another two days to determine the tournament championship..")
Altogether, I believe that means we have 13 days left to play. (Fourteen, if you include today, which I'm not, 'cause I can hear thunder. XP)

If you average 20 games a day, you should easily be able to make 580. ^.^

You look fine to me. There are two weeks left of the tourney including today - we're only just over half way. By my calculations the 16th is the last day of the round robin and that's followed by four days of finals. To make it to 600 you need an average of 18.5 wins per day, about 40 minutes if you play well. Or you could decide to send 25 wins per day in the finals and 16 per day until then. Within easy reach.

Edit: Pipped to the punch. Put me back in my box.

I'm still not certain I'm going to get to 2000, although at this moment I only have 730 to go so it almost seems a shame not to. Last year I played 415 games, I just thought afterwards I wished I'd played a bit more.

i am finaly back, took about a week off. its fine as i got 1783 wins already but i am kinda mad that i dont get to jump ship in the playoffs. i play for altador and i HATE lossing i want to jump ship and swim right to KI

[eilu]

Any amount over 300 is fine for me- I'm at 270 YYB at the moment; maybe I'll make it to 400. Busy, busy. busy...

Hope Shenkuu makes it past these teams to the final 4- that would be a cinderella story

[Kuri]

Thank you very much you two. I feel a little bit better, I was convinced that since I didn't play at all for two days I would never have time to do enough to catch up. But you guys have pointed out that the number I need to do a day isn't incredibly horrible and if I manage to do more on my free days I don't see why I can't reach that.

[Daze]

Just reached Rank 15, so hopefully I should make All Star by the end. It is very tiring though to get all the games in.

i agree i am finding harder to send 30 games, when it the start of the tourney i was getting 200 a day no problem. i must have burned myself out

[Valrigard]

Whoa. We actually WON against the Haunted Woods.
Next up is Shenkuu. Their 2+2 formation should be easy to tear through with Windelle.

[gingernut]

Yesterday was a bit disappointing for Shenkuu- we played worse against Kreludor than we did in the first round robin. Fingers crossed we recover ok, two tough days ahead against Meridell and then Krawk.

[Kuri]

I'm disappointed as well. I was really hoping we'd be Kreludor. Hopefully we'll be able to give Meridell a run for their money and get ourselves higher in the standings!

[Katherine]

Come on Lost Desert, we still have a really good chance to get into the final 4 if we win our next few games!

[Pickles]

Wow, the number of draws yesterday was insane. I even put in a bit more than my standard 60. Ah well. Roo is still fairly solidly in second. Terror Mountain today for us - they're actually kinda fun to play against if I remember correctly. No huge Skeiths, annoying fast Lennys, etc.

[DaRiGaN_YuRbLe]

Gee I can't play more than 60 games/day !!!

Now I can see why Citadel is in 8th place!!
