Just saw the commercial while watching Fairy Oddparents. I was expecting some pretty animation, but it looks they they just took footage from he flash preview file.

Oh well.

Yeah, I saw it yesterday, and was disappointed. I dunno, but I was expecting them to make a live game. With actual neopts playing and... yeh. And when a bit from the game appeared in th corner, thats was just... bad.

Anyway, I've decided to join Haunted Woods, after Mystery Island... I'm aiming for 100 wins this round, I was busy last round and only got up to 39.

I'm excited too, seeing as all of my three are still in, and not playing each other either! lol

But, I'm a little worried with the next round, and with all the trash talk going on in the NeoBoards in the Altador Cup board, saying that RI and KI are cheating and stuff

Go, Snarkie, Go!

Cranberry - eh, I just tend to skip those posts nowadays. I just figure they have nothing important to say. *Shrugs*

Roo Island doesn't brag because they know how embarrassing it'll be when they lose.

Nah, but seriously... won't the braggers be embarrassed if they lose? I think it would be absolutely brilliant (but sad, because I'm in a bragging team

) if TNT decided to weigh the scores depending on the amount of braggers in the teams. Just think - it would explain half the results, and leave us confused for the other half.

You'd think! I mean, three out of these four remaining teams are going to lose, so there's a good chance the team they're bragging about is going to be out of this competition very soon. But then again, they'll probably just join one of the final two and brag about it instead.

At the end of this whole thing, the only people I want to see bragging... well, okay, I hate the bragging altogether, but if people have to brag, it better be the people who were on the winning team from the very start, not people who jumped on after their team lost and just switched their bragging over.

Meridell is out, so I decided to throw my support to Roo Island. It was one of the ones I considered in the first place.

Haha! Yeah, well, Darigan was my second choice altogether. (Since my pet's painted Darigan, it's kinda like its nationality, y'know?) If I get onto another team I won't be anywhere near as enthusiastic about it all.

Honestly, though - if Terror Mountain had made it to the final round I'd have started incessant bragging. But I never had any hope for it.

Anyway... my bets for the game. I think Roo Island will definitely make it through and Haunted Woods isn't too likely to make it. As for Darigan Citadel and Krawk Island, well... It sure better be Darigan Citadel.

So for Match-ups... Roo Island versus. Krawk Island and Darigan Citadel versus Haunted Woods, plzkthx.

I think I'll hope that Darigan goes against Roo Island now since it might not happen in the final round. It would make it so much more interesting, and I'd be more motivated to get more wins in.

I just wanted to say thank you for my fellow Roo Island supporters, I've been in Paris the last few days, so I've only been able to get 20 wins the first evening and nothing after that, so it was a great surprise to come home and see how well our team had done!

Somehow I have a feeling it will be:
Darigan VS Krawk Island
Haunted Woods VS Roo Island

About teams bragging. I remember someone from Tyrannia bragging that the only way we'd go past Round 1 was if everyone else resigned :roll:

and now we're playing round 3. But there's morons in every team, the most popular teams just have more.

Do you think we will get more prizes/whatever for scoring more points or for being with the same team all the through or what?

I have only scored one point for Roo Island, which is pretty lame, but the game runs REALLY slowly on my computer

Huggles · #14 Post by **Huggles** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:39 pm

I think the scoring/prize levels will be based on the number of points/wins you scored, whether or not you were on the winning team, and whether or not you were on that team since the beginning. So, you'd get most of your prizes from your individual score, a bonus for winning, and another bonus if you were on the winning team since day one.

I'm starting to feel more and more optimistic about the whole thing now

I'm going to go and practice so I can actuall do some good! GO TEAM ROO!
