First 2 days of bids are in, and it looks to be a 5 way battle for the four playoff spots.

Brak - 25 orcs
Tune - 28 orcs
Ett - 20 orcs
Trump - 26 orcs
Adrian - 20 orcs

Brak looks to get the early breaks, as he gets the 3 lame duck teams to start the season while the other 4 contenders will be beating up on each other.

Still some talent out there, but money is getting tight and there's still armor to buy.

Good luck!!!

[TheIceMage]

Three lame ducks?!? Yuck.

[King Nerd]

Ugh, as always, I lost all my money on my first 20 bids, and now it will take me forever to get my last 15 orcs and to armor up. Crap.

[Brakgwar]

Not to lame the two teams with Zero Players will hurt me with the fact of Time played. Ive always Had issues with this but its how the game is set up

Anywho yes i get a Win and the gold for the win but the lack of 60 Min of play time or even 90 min or play time is going to Hurt when i get to the teams who were able to Season up many Orcs in their Lines.

But we will see.... maybe i can loot some nice Spikes to Help with the Lack of Minutes Played

[King Nerd]

Ugh. I'll take the victory, but my C1 got KO'd already. I really need to armor up. I've got some hard games coming up soon.

[tuneloon]

I kinda feel bad... cuz this would really piss me off

Game 1 - Adrian's Flaming Unicorns of Death (1MGC) 10 Trump's Bank Breakers (1MGC) 9

Game 2 - Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC) 12 Trump's Bank Breakers (1MGC) 11

Glad to be 1-1 after losing a close opening to Ett, but I feel for the Bank Breakers. Two losses by one point, and now he gets Ettiene

From looking at the scores of these first few games, this is gonna be a real battle for the playoffs between the five MGC teams.

Brakgwar's Gold Misers (1MGC) 9 2-0-0 0 - 0
Ettiene's Pilfering Midas(1MGC) 9 2-0-0 21 - 11

Adrian's Flaming Unicorns of Death (1MGC) 4 1-1-0 13 - 19
Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC) 4 1-1-0 20 - 22

Mario's See Below 0 0-2-0 0 - 0
Trump's Bank Breakers (1MGC) 0 0-2-0 20 - 22

[King Nerd]

I don't suppose anyone wants to lend me some armor, no?

[TheIceMage]

You'd probably just sell it to get closer to the prize...

[King Nerd]

Nah, I like winning too much. And I'd think winning would be the best way to make money anyway.

up next

Mario's See Below vs. Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC)
Brakgwar's Gold Misers (1MGC) vs. Ettiene's Pilfering Midas(1MGC)
Trump's Bank Breakers (1MGC) vs. Vaino's Arsenal
Adrian's Flaming Unicorns of Death (1MGC) vs. John's Lionz


One of the nastiest stretches I've seen coming up for my boys. After my next game against Mario, I get a single game against Brak, then back to backs against Ettiene, then back to backs against Brak. Ouch!!!

fortunately I get to rest my starters against Mario while Brak and Ett hopefully beat up on each other.

[tuneloon]

All I can say is that these two teams are pretty evenly matched

Game 1 - Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC) 8 Ettiene's Pilfering Midas(1MGC) 11
Game 8 - Ettiene's Pilfering Midas(1MGC) 13 Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC) 13
Game 9 - Tuneloon's Money Bags (1MGC) 16 Ettiene's Pilfering Midas(1MGC) 16

Three games, 1 decided by 3 points and 2 ties!!!

Now to try to survive the back to backs with Brak.

My loan is now paid off and I've got 5K in cash.

[King Nerd]

Woot! What an active thread.

I may not know how to accumulate gold in monetary terms, but when it comes to gold medals, I got that down.
