Betting season now open!

Who’s gonna win this clan tournament? Your opinion on 1st to 4th place.
One condition though … name your predicted winners assuming your own clan losses in the early stage.




My own prediction:
1st place Winners: IJA
2nd place: FSA
3rd place: AAA
4th place: +=>

It is difficult for me to make a prediction.
I hope that AAA would be in the highest rankings, from 1 to 4...:-)

That really can't happen, as AAA, FSA and +=> are all on one side of the bracket.

My guess as to the semi-final contestants are AAA, FSA, IJA and BoS, with IJA facing AAA in the final.....and of course.....my money will be on AAA.

But who knows...it would be interesting to see an upset or two.

So....FSA, IJA, BoS & BoP.

Before anyone else posts any more...the request was not soooooo difficult dunderheads!

Predict your winners 1st-4th place and NOT your own clan.

(btw, all scenarios possible due to play-offs.)

:p

by playoffs you mean that the loosers of the semifinals play for 3rd and 4th? thnx rog for the 4th place vote. i hope we can oblige

As far as predicting... i dunno, i think its hard to guess who will be good and who is not good at clan games (individually). I bet there will be individual surprises even within clans. It's a completely different style of game. First of all ther'es no politics which is a big part of regular games. Communication and strategy planning among clan members is key (btw that site where you can post screen shots is awsome). Also, it's faster, more explosive etc... Even your tech order will probably change. That being said, despite being more on "equal ranking" I suspect the veteran players will be able to adapt much quicker.

Rog...you should count how many votes got each Clan...

Braque I am happy to oblige and do some sort of prediction accumulation and even thought about going into the statistics and such, but simply looking at the results convinces me that:
a. Many would have to stand up to the honour and stand under the pressure bestowed on them by the voters. [Damn, damn, damn…now we (BoS) really have to do well…Gggrrr…]
b. Makes everyone pray for upsets.
c. Proves Grumpy is the bravest ( ) gambler in WOL.

…and to the results…*trumpets blowing*…

The simple scores:
1. BOS ------- 24
2. FSA ------- 21
3. AAA ------ 15
4. IJA -------- 14

5. CoC ------- 5
6. BoP ------- 4
7. D~S ------- 3
8. +=> ------- 3
9. AGD ------ 1


And the correct guesses (if only because their clan is not considered by most, to be in the final four, they were the closest in guessing): both from +=> ; traviskicks and Lonestorm.

[Though I dare say you will both be wrong as; I (me)……, I’ll say again… I, predicted your clan to be in the final four ]

well, interesting...
I think I will have to go with...
1. IJA
2. FSA
3. BoS
4. AAA

I think there is quite a trend in the votes, quite obvious who everyone thinks the power clans are.

1.ija
2.fsa
3.aaa
4.bos

how about something where people can guess how long the games will go? similar to what was kinda starting on another thread awhile back. For example, it would be an achievement if a lesser ranked clan lasted 40+ turns with a top ranked one. Gives ya something to shoot for and gets more people involved. And if somebody keeps track of it, it could be another statistic to help gauge rank. Also, would make a boring end game more exciting... I guess the end turn would be on the turn the 5th castle fell? just an idea...

Well, I think FSA has the best 5 that you can put on the board. But since we cant pick our own clan..

1. IJA
2. AAA
3. BOS
4. CoC

just for the record I do think our clan will be in the top 4
