[looks at rankings to date]

Hmmm.

[scribbles on sign; begins marching around]

"Go Warlords"

Thanks, Grump... makes me feel better and I like the sign. Can we have it after the tourney is over to hang in our fort?

Well my tally of the points presented so far (I hope my calcs are correct) is:

1. BoS & IJA -------- 50 points
3. FSA ---------------49
4. AAA ---------------38
5. CoC ---------------12
6. +=> & BoP ---------5
8. Crusaders & D~S ---3
10. CON --------------2
11. AGD & Warlords ---1

Well, so far Princess of Darkness is the cleverst of all. The only one to predict correctly the first three places according to the community voters overall choice.

The wierdest choice, erm... sorry, most different choice goes to Grumpalot .

@ Rock - Sure, you bet. It's always good to have a remembrance from our big events. You should see some of the things I've saved...

@ Rog - You watch, they'll be talking for decades about the 'Cinderella story' of the underdog clan that took the First Official WOL Clan Tournament by storm. Heck, might even be one of those teams that doesn't have a <single> vote.

Not one single vote.

[walks off pouting and mumbling about getting no respect]

hehheh

Rather then starting a new thread I am gonna post here.

How's everyone's clan games going?
Who do you feel has the upper hand?
When do you see defeat or victory coming?
How close are the predictions to being right?

I vote then that we name the trophy for the winner of the first clan wars of WOL the grumpy award!!!

Well...

1. People who didn't vote yet. Feel free to do so, I shall keep updating the predictions and scores.

2. Clan 28 campaign is well under way (Turn 8) between Warlords and BoS. There are already several battles throughout the board. While the BoS clan seems to be the more experienced clan on stats, Warlords show a surprising amount of battle savvy and inflict some gruesome wounds on BoS troops. It seems as if it's gonna be a heavy casualties campaign whatver the outcome.

3. @Grumpy - if you're right and there'll be several major upsets, I would be happy to award you most 'Clever Prediction' title. It's boring when the same teams win all the time...
GO SCOTLAND FOR THE WORLD FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS!
and speaking of awards...

4. Personally, I'd like to award Warlords a slightly more decent sign (comparing their actual rank level to their skills) saying proudly "WARLORDS - Best value clan".

Finally......Turn #1..AAA vs CON..Let the battle begin!

Its turn 10 for FSA vs AGD, there have been alot of casualties for bothe sides. It looks like there will be even more in the next coming turns, but the question is for who.

I guess I will post the update for my clan game from my perspective.

Its turn 16 and theres been a lot of casaulties, although its kind of 60-40. The Crusaders have the upper hand with an early capture of a castle in turn 9, but momentum swayed when Travis was halted at Monkey's castle and then panic started to come when rumors started that PoD may lose to Eldorith. And deep in the south Kyrion and kinnym have been at it since turn 1 and it looks about even from my view point, however this changed in the last two turns. Due to a double tap Monkey's castle has been breached and PoD recieved reenforcements so that looks bad for the TsK clan and an army arrived at TsK's castle and has gained entry there as well.
So all in all it looks like its going the Crusaders way, but who's to say how it will end up.

Thanks Rog!!! Those are definetly words of encouragement for my clan. It is nice to see respect shared between adversaries on the battlefield. Just goes to show that "He who is your enemy today may be your ally tomorrow." Good Luck to you and the BoS no matter what the outcome of our game...

in turn 17 my foces are well on there way to to taking eyesors castel affter the long trip across the map.
sage has caught an unperperd nobbys castle (its his name ) a few turns ago taking it for the CoC
but god is still under a 3 man seige well sage is begining to be pushed back by supieour forces
gutterfly is pitching in a hand across the bord. Well tyler has had his first encounter with the MoB last round

early signs are very positive for the CoC ass long as god and sage hold out untill reiforcemnts arive the death toll on both sides of the conflict are horrendis fore such an eary time but the CoC is slighly ahead in the rankings

In Clan 3, it is Turn 20ish, and much to their credit, the fine players of the Dog Soldiers have kept The Circus out in the field until recently, when HOSA's original castle fell into our hands. There is still plenty of work to be done, so I expect this will last for some time. I even hesitiate to give a final outcome, although I can say the preferred one is dominance by The Circus.

P.S. naming the award after me? Now <that's> funny!!

I was curious so I calculated the rankings as of this turn. This is just the sum of the first column on the rankings page of each clan game. Using this instead of the second column or the difference between the two shouldn't matter much. or? Anyway:

Turn 1: AAA 0 vs. CON 0
Turn 8: Bos 6990 vs. War 5841
Turn 10: FSA 6919 vs. AGD 7188
Turn 17: +=> 23988 vs. TsK 14326
Turn 18: CoC 16679 vs. MoB 10867
Turn 20: > 21337 vs. D~S 18475
Turn 23: BoP 32865 vs. AYA 25014

Difference in Exp
0 ---
1149 BoS
289 AGD
9662 +=>
5812 CoC
2862 >
7851 BoP

I think thats all the games. Does IJA get a bye? Oh and our highest ranking individual player is GreenTea of AYA, who is leading the field and carrying his clan with 13872 Exp! So hopefully that gives everyone a rough idea of how the games are going. I didn't recheck calculations so say so if they'r wrong and ill change.

BOB
FoO
lsR
Oop

In that order. 80)

Clan war??? , me??? ... I'am ... Command message: "that I go to the corner of the map and watch for amphibious invasion troops that might land" ... YES SIR!!!, pretty soon this little bay is going to be like omaha beach!!!

*peering left and right gueritol keeps the vigil at this so far quiet beach front*

An update on rankings
(sum of left side of rankings page)
___________________________________Difference
Turn 15: 19762 BoS vs 10467 WAR_____9295 BoS
Turn 17: 22647 FSA vs 16289 AGD_____6358 FSA
Turn 24: 37370 +=> vs 15317 TsK_____22053 +=>
Turn 25: 29543 CoC vs 19034 MoB_____10509 CoC
Turn 27: 37421 > vs 28386 D~S_____9035 >
Turn 30: 37351 BoP vs 39385 AYA_____2034 AYA

So far it appears all the initally higher ranked teams are prevailing (sorry Grump), except for the very hard fought BoP vs AYA in which AYA is now holding a very slight lead. Interestingly, that game is the only game where both sides have suffered eliminations. Trend changes from last time include the AYA taking the lead and FSA taking the lead.

High ranking player is still GreenTea who is now at 17473.

*edited cuz CoC and MoB also both have two people out, but it's unclear if they both were eliminated or if one just went inactive.

Well it's difficult to tell at this point. Our own clan war has been tooth and nail from the word go. I assume others are pretty much the same sort of thing.

Travis...and what about AAA vs CON ?
