Altador Cup Summer 2007

Oh good gods... I was so excited to participate this year... and suddenly realized WHY I didn't play last year. I SUCK AT THIS GAME.

Seriously; I don't understand the controls. The practice team is kicking my arse because all I figured out is that the space bar changes my active player. And the arrow keys somehow MOVE the active player. I just can't do it. I'd rather have a Crisis Courier contest.

It is Shift. I had to relearn it myself.

Play with the mouse, I find it so much easier. Just hover over a character to select them and click to fire the ball

It appears the Darigan side still shows the Skeith, not the Jetsam as Keeper

Has Pinkpt picked an official site team or is it everyone for themselves?

Just like last year I'm supporting kiko lake. No hopes for victory but I can't withstand the shield.

to understand the ball you have to be a ball

This Yooyu explodes almost as soon as the game play starts... I think they forgot to take into account that the clock keeps ticking when they show the the Yooyu being launched.

not always. I almost managed to score with the robot one but it blew up right before it went in the goal.

WORD. I couldn't even score once to submit it and get the avatar last year. :cry:

I'm going to practice more this year, but I'm really glad there are other game options too.

My 2 Island pets wouldn't have forgiven me if I didn't support Mystery Island. I started with them last year too - team loyalty, woo.

Umm that might be a problem for me, my one and only pet is Tyrannian but wearing royal clothes....ahhhh

I didn't play last year as I was traveling and wow, I suck.

Too bad, I really wanted a Yooyu. :/

People seem to be picking their own teams currently, and I think its better that way. If you wanted to make a "PinkPT team" then you'd have to contact an Admin about it and ask, and there'd definitely be rules put in place as you'd be representing the entire site with it. Also, many PPTers have already chosen their teams, and to leave them out would be unfair, as would asking people who want to be on a certain team to join a different one if they want to be part of the "PPT group"

You can try and rally support for a particular team if you wish, but I don't think calling yourselves the "PPT team" or whatever is a good idea, there's just too much that could go wrong there.

Well, due to the graces of a random number generator and my inability to make a decision, my team is Kiko Lake. ^_^ I chose Faerieland last year and I didn't want to deal with that again. So this will hopefully be fun. I really like the idea of being able to play other games besides Yooyuball, since I'm not very good at it...

Ohh, picking a team was hard...
I be a bit piratey (Krawk Island FTW) but Shenkuu rules...

Ah, I gotta go for Shenkuu. Plus, they have a Lutari on their team!
KI will be my backup.

Then again, last year I was so horrible at this game I didn't even submit one score.
But I wants me an avvie, so this year I must get better!

Edit: and I

the idea of two backup games, in case I just can't get better at the real one.

Krawk Island again this year for me. We got darned close last year and the new grundo on the team is soo cute.

Stupid game I can keep team jelly from scoring but I can't score either.

It's Shenkuu for me this year. I've been supporting Darigan exclusively ever since the Citadel floated on the site, so I'm a bit tired of all the purple and black

Plus, the Shenkuu team cracks me up! You've got the pink Lutari (who's a guy?), the Fu Manchu Grundo and the (twin?) chubby Koi (currently a glitch in the roster). Who could ask for anything more?

Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:55 am

Gotta go with Haunted Woods. Sorry... I love Darigan and I love Krawk Island, but I got two Haunted Pets... gotta go with the flow...

Pity about the no switching, but thankfully theres the two fan games I can do, as I'm terrible at the main game.

I pretty much like this game, but i never got the hang of faerie yooyu, and now my even-bigger nemesis is the darigan one!have you noticed the training team can PASS and SHOOT accurately with the darigan one?
Really freaky! I can't even think about shooting, it will either go up, down or back :O
