Slim pickings out there, but my bids are in.

Wow! Looking at the stats from yesterdays two games it almost looked like a decent contest with the marauders making 6 interceptions(2 by headknockers), 7 blocked shots(1 by headknockers) and a knockout compared to none by tune. Where things went haywire though is in the collumn that counts the most. My Goalies missed 13 stops which in some games could still win it for you, but in this it make the game look like a whitewash. Tune's Goalies only let 4 in. Final Score 27-6
Also didnt help that my centres only won a single faceoff out of 44
Good game tune. If the homelands werent so empty, all my centres and goalies would have been sent packing

I was quite suprised by the result myself. Having only won 15 orcs over the first 2 days of bidding I thought most every game this season would be a struggle, but that has been far from the case. Of course, you were pretty much in the same boat as me after 2 days of bids. We'll see how things go against the "other" half of the league.

I may be undefeated so far, but I have only scored 25 points in 3 games, ranking me as the #4 offense. I haven't been able to afford to summon a healer all season, either. This is not a good thing for team longevity.

NaNo's WriMos 19 4-0-0 38 - 20
Tuneloon's Headknockers 19 4-0-0 99 - 16
Morgan's Broken Promises 11 2-1-1 32 - 28
Ettiene's Marauders 9 2-2-0 47 - 55
Matt's Cream Puffs 9 2-2-0 29 - 32
Mike's Hairy Orcs (1MGC) 4 1-3-0 135 - 44
Daryl's Dragon Dancers 2 0-3-1 26 - 36
Foulgore's Oinkerz 0 0-4-0 16 - 191

Tonights results were more like what I expected from this league

Matt's Cream Puffs 10 Mike's Hairy Orcs (1MGC) 3
Tuneloon's Headknockers 14 Daryl's Dragon Dancers 7
NaNo's WriMos 13 Ettiene's Marauders 9
Morgan's Broken Promises 13 Foulgore's Oinkerz 8

no game decided by more than 7 points. My boys need a couple of days off to recoup as I've got 2340 gold, and my healing bill is 2263.

I've had 6 of the 8 games decided by 2 points or less so far:

Morgan's Broken Promises 7 NaNo's WriMos 6
Tuneloon's Headknockers 12 NaNo's WriMos 11
NaNo's WriMos 8 Mike's Hairy Orcs (1MGC) 7
Foulgore's Oinkerz 9 NaNo's WriMos 8
NaNo's WriMos 13 Ettiene's Marauders 9
Daryl's Dragon Dancers 3 NaNo's WriMos 5
Matt's Cream Puffs 3 NaNo's WriMos 13
NaNo's WriMos 7 Morgan's Broken Promises 5

I started out winning the first four, then lost three of four, leaving me at 5-3-0 (4th place). Hopefully last game's experience will help: both my goalies hit season 3.
