Million Dollar Gold 2

[randomluck]

Bubbauk's My Prize 1MGC
Chris's Money Makers 1MGC
Douglas's Supreme Diva's (1MGC)
Lynn's Gobsmashas (1mgc)
Randomluck's Economic Stimulus Package (1MGC)
Rev Midnight's Midnight's Dead Orcs Walking
Scrooge's McDucks (1MGC)
Wesley's Goldbrickerz (1MGC)

Looks like we have 7 MGC teams in here.

Talent looks decent. Nothing spectacular. Most expensive I found was 864, and usually there is one or two over 1000 in Novice, so no big breakaways there (which I see, which isn't saying much).

Well, let's get this going peoples! Good season and good luck to all!

[bubbauk]

well, day 1 bids are in. I got 18 orcs and still have 12k left. good day of bidding for me. only lost 2 and didn't really bid very high on either.

Random has 17 orcs
Bubbauk has 18 orcs
Chris has 18 orcs
Rev has 10 orcs
Douglas has 13 orcs
Wesley has 20 orcs

so 2 guys haven't bid. could be an interesting league.

Round 2 is next!

[bubbauk]

Beautiful! Day 2 bids are in, I'm at 34 orcs, very nice. little money for some padding.

Random has 35 orcs
Bubbauk has 34 orcs
Chris has 33 orcs
Rev has 10 orcs
Douglas has 24 orcs
Wesley has 35 orcs
Lynn has 13 orcs

only 1 team has no orcs after day 2. I got more gold stars than anyone, very happy with my orcs. got both of the goalies I wanted. Hopefully they pay off. but....

I play Random first game. Start the season off with a bang! Good Luck

Yes, the evil BubbaUk, my archrival and nemesis. We meet again upon the field of battle. Let us keep this a clean fight and hope it does not end in a tie again. Remember how we did away with that old "Flip the coin toss to see what side of the field we start on" rule? Yes, we handled that decision as two truly civilized, modern gentlemen: dueling at 20 paces. Aaahhh, the good old days...

Good luck, BubbaUk! May the game be a close one, your healing bill low, and your regen tanks empty. (And I guess my hope is your disappointed with all of the above).

Take care and looking forward to the match!

First words out of my mouth when I saw the schedule, "Crap, first games with BubbaUk. Heckuva a way to start..."

I reviewed my bidding history and I am shocked. I filled out my roster, losing out on only 4 bids (Admittedly, 2 were my top 2 bids on Day 1, and a third was #6 choice). However, filled out the entire team with decent orcs and still have $$ left over for some (novice level) good armor. In Day 2, I won 5 bids by exactly $1! Yes! My telepathic Shaman finally comes through!

Overall, I'm happy with this allottment, although the I find my lack of decent goalies...disturbing.

[bubbauk]

ok, not real sure what happened. but, my guys suck! 25-0. I scored 0? what? and my prize goalies, 25? come one. I think Random got more than just a telepathis shaman.

I think something is wrong and I think we need ICE to look into it. ALL the HOME teams in this league won, and all the AWAY teams scored 0.

Something seems fishy...

EDIT: Nope, looking at it, the other two AWAY teams either had only 12 players (Rev), or everyone was in Jail (Wesley).

All I can say is "HOLY CRAP!!! How did you lose 25-0??" Criminey, you usually give me a good run for my money (course this game is Free, but still, you get the point)

[bubbauk]

i don't know. but they really stunk it up. first game jeetters? maybe? don't know. they better straighten themselves up or i'm giving them all the big boot!

[randomluck]

Well, BubbaUk, your in 2nd right now. Not sure what happened that first game, but I did notice your goalies seem to be finally behaving better for you.

I'm already running into some tiredness issues. Not a good sign since one of my first five games was a forfeit. How can these guys be tired, they've barely even played?!

[bubbauk]

yeah, my guys are really starting to play. just beat Chris's money makers 91-4. they really put on a show. oh, and he is in third place right now. how this is how my guys play the entire year.

I upped my tolerance to around 24 for my 1st stringers so i wouldn't get so tired, and so that others will get some experience. might be the thing to do.

[randomluck]

Alright, BubbaUk. It's you and me in the rematch. Overall, our stats are very similar: both 6-1-0 with For-Against of 171-33 to 170-44.

Looking forwards to a good match!

One of his orcs redlined in the health department, but BubbaUk pulls out the win by 6 points! Looks like your goalies finally got their act together!

Good game!

[randomluck]

Revenge was mine!! A hard fought 10-3 win against BubbaUk! My goalies redeemed themselves, letting only a single 3 pointer slip by from 14 shots. My 1-point goalie made 8 of 8 saves.

And my defense picked up, giving 4 KOs this game!

Good game BubbaUk, look forward to seeing you in the finals!

[bubbauk]

can't believe i won anything. My computer has been down for 2 weeks, haven't been able to check anything. got back and found alot of dead orcs and alot of open slots. I gotta get this ship righted.

Had to share this little Center. He's the Chihuahua of the field: small guy with a lot of heart and a bad attitude.

Zafokyi
Goalie: 1
Center: 3
Wing: 2
Defense: 1

Eek: 5
Slam: 3
Get: 4
Lose: 4
Sneak: 3
Pound: 4
Toughness: 3

what makes him so special?
I have the tolerance set to 24, yet this guy is #10 Bruiser and in the Center position.

I've never had a Center hit the top 10 Bruiser mark (3 KO's), especially one who can be knocked over by a feather.
How does that happen? Is it some combination of skills? Is it the Eek? Is it the size of the fight in the orc and not the size of the orc in the fight?

Just a neat anamoly and through he deserved a little recognition.
