Battleground of the Obelisk [Split 9]

[Siniri]

Let us know for sure, Pickles.

[Pickles]

I have one kid that wants Seekers, one that wants Brutes, and third child is undecided. At the current moment, I have no idea which team I'm going to sign up for. They WOULD have to make this difficult..

[Blue]

It sounds like the kid with the first vote is for Seekers.... Shall we go with Seekers?

[Siniri]

Seekers works for me! Signing up now!

[Pickles]

Third child went with Brutes because he wants the avvie/site theme, too. Sigh. Well, I'm signed up for Brutes because I promised I'd help them with getting the avvies/site themes. First child signed up with Seekers.
Hopefully Sway doesn't win, so some of us will get something out of this?

[Siniri]

2/3 chance of a boon for some of us, and 100% chance of at least a consolation prize. Let's go!

Since I'm battling against someone seeking a theme, I'll stick to fewer battles this round. (Nice excuse to do less work. )

I like those 100% odds!

Ditto on being a slacker

I managed 11 battles. I was aiming for ten but miscounted because I'm falling asleep. Good night!

ETA:

Congrats to the little P who got their theme! And I got a set of spoons.

Awww, thanks, y'all. They're both out of the house right now (Mr. P took both of them when he took MLP to dance), but they'll be excited when they get back and see it. MLP put in 60 battles, LLP put in over 150 (I don't remember the exact number, but he worked hard on it, and the bulk of those were not the bottom tier this time!), and I put in a chunk again (1500) but surprisingly didn't make the top brutes players. Looks like we had the bulk of the big hitters this time!

Results:

brutes 36880912 score with 1068 players (453 few battles)
seekers 4995493 score with 732 players (372 few battles)
sway 18734321 score with 2845 players (1667 few battles)
Top brutes players: 16420, 7600, 7018, 6001, 5140, 4496, 4173, 4147, 4129, 3629
Top seekers players: 4162, 1900, 1608, 1500, 900, 715, 505, 250, 222, 206
Top sway players: 8979, 2327, 2014, 2000, 1825, 1624, 1545, 1261, 1209, 1147

BLP is a little bummed, but not too surprised, and not TOO upset because he didn't have time to get many battles in this weekend, either, so he doesn't feel like he put in a lot of effort and lost out or anything.

Congrats to the Brutes!

I put in a meager 10 battles, and all were against the not-Brutes..... Dipping Apples for me

[Pickles]

Younger two are tickled silly. According to someone on the boards, the Brutes haven't won in 19 rounds.

ETA: Lurking on the boards, and discovered that one of the big obelisk groups (TOOSG) no longer votes for which faction to support. They have a council that chooses the best pick based on who they think they can most likely make win, regardless of what types of boons come of it. I think my kiddos were lucky that we got the Sway boon BEFORE the full details of how scoring worked came out...because I'll be shocked if Sway wins anytime soon. Too many "freeloaders." I think that's the group (TOOSG) that went with Brutes this time around, hence why there were so many huge amounts of battling.


ETA2: Order, Seekers, Thieves.

Kiddos don't have Thieves, so I'm going to guess they'll want to go with them. They're at rehearsal now, though, so I can't straight out ask.

[Blue]

I am always up for Thieves. However, I will go with the Bandwagon

[Pickles]

Going with Thieves to hopefully help them get their last site theme/avatar. No clue who BLP went with. Not sure how much time we'll have this weekend to battle, but...I guess we'll see.

[Siniri]

Joined Thieves.

[Blue]

Ditto. GO THIEVES!

ETA - Seekers win
