2006/Y8 Altador World Cup (Split 6)

The balls from most easy to shoot with to least(I'm playing 2:2):

1. Fire - Fast, shoots straight, red and easy to see.

2. Faerie - Suprise! It's lightweight, and the curving can be used to your advantage. As in when you shoot, you can stand right in front of the goalie and it'll still curve into the goal. Not good for passing, but I don't really pass the ball alot.

3. Snow - Slow, but shoots straight.

4. Mutant - Slow, curves, plus I can't figure out a good strategy for them.

Here's a question for everyone:

What is your goal as far as scoring? How many wins do you want to have down by Sunday at midnight, when this round ends?

As for me, I'm thinking fifty is my limit or something. That may change when/if Faerieland gets closer towards the finals.

Magica: haha. I love that guy.

I've been scoring goals mainly by making the goalie think I'm going to shoot in one direction but as soon as I get close, I shoot in the other direction... It's been working pretty well for me

But yeah... Terror Mountain are toughies, no doubt.

My friend just told me about This , not sure if their information is correct, but it seems to answer some of our questions.

Mwa ha ha! Darigan players ARE slow, but Ive totally found a way to use this to my advantage... dude, ive found obvious ways of winning. Not glitches, not cheating.... but very awesome strategies using my darigan team. I think each team has weaknesses and strenghts... but obviously darigan members can use their weakness as their strength. Any other Dariganers know what i mean?

Interesting, thanks for the link! Although I just want to see this Altador Cup commerical on television everyone's been talking about, to be completely honest. I knew this was sort of big, but I had no idea The Neopets Team was pushing it this much. To be honest, it's kind of sad - I think they could have used that advertising space to advertise the Neopets TCG which, coming from an avid player, is needing some serious life support right now.

(Magica, love the ad!) :roflol:

I keep trying that strategy, too, but then my own ball goes out of control. Basically I miss because I can't aim.

But my backup plan is always to shoot sharp. I actually usually manage to score from the sharpest angle conceivably possible. Just so turns out most goalies have a hard time catching those.

I have only played a couple handfuls of games so far, but my best score is a 7 to 1 win. GO FAERIES! (At least for now.) :oops:

Whoa. I didn't know it was THIS big, either. When I started reading that article I was like this -->

I mean... whoa. I don't even think it's a big deal! They make it sound like some sporting event in real life

Thanks for the article, btw.

okay, so how does the scoring work? Do you HAVE to submit your score? Like... obviously if i lose i wouldnt submit my score. And whats the point to submitting a tie? etc... how does this work?

Given that I have finals next week (whaug!) I'm only going for 5 games a day. We'll see what happens once summer is in full swing.

It's rather unbalanced, actually. You choose what you submit, so basically everyone's only going to have their wins tallied.

Hey guys, I found a cookie in this came!

w00t! TWW finds the easter egg first! Yeah!

This happens if you leave the talking screen sitting too long. I actually left my coreboard sitting for a few minutes, waiting for me to "submit my score."

It then jumped to these guys. Every 20 seconds or so, they will comment on how you arent leaving.

And a spyder will hang down over the screen. HAHAAAHAHAhaha.... how funny. I guess.
