So far I've got 2 Darigan Hands and 2 Darigan Cups. I'm looking for a pennant and a jersey for Darigan, I'd be willing to trade 1 Hand and 1 Cup for the Jersey or just the Hand and some NP for the pennant. Don't contact me until around 12:30 NST, though. I'm off to bed.

So far I have managed to get the bottles for: Kiko Lake, Krawk Island, Roo Island, Lost Desert, Haunted Woods, Kreludor, Altador, Darigan, Virtupets, and Tyrannia.

The hands for: Haunted Woods, Lost Desert, Terror Mountain, Maraqua, Kreludor, and Virtupets.

The pennant for Roo Island and a jersey for Virtupets

It's Sonnet Time!

I felt like writing a sonnet but didn't know what to write about, but then I though, why not write a fan poem for the Altador Cup? And so I did.

Game day, and filled with people are the stands,
To cheer on the most exc'llent team they came.
The best of all teams comes from Roo Island.
They are the ones who'll surely win the game.
The match begins- in moments Roo does score;
And though those from this island they are few,
We all join in in calling out for more
From players from the island know as Roo.
When Roo does play there never is a lull,
And hear me folk of hoof and folk of fin:
It won't be long until Roo scores a goal.
Amazing Roo Island will surely win.
So listen now and know that this is ture:
The Altador Cup does belong to Roo.

Looks like we'll be waiting till after the event. Prices are plummeting fast.

Just need a Maraqua Jersey to complete my set of Maraquan Stuff.

Anyone need a tyrannian pennant or darigan cup?

You are able to switch teams between rounds

This is the first I've seen this. I guess if your team loses, you can just switch to a winning team.

Yes, or people'd be unhappy at not being able to play anymore...

And what are the chances of this being turned into a normal flash game after this?

I don't like that you can switch teams between rounds. I mean I guess they want everone to be able to play the whole time and that is cool, but it takes away from the whole rooting for your team thing. It also makes me think that there won't be cool prizes, shields, avs or anything based on what team you were on and i was kind of hoping there would be.

I don't like the switching between rounds either... It sure is good to give everyone a fun experience that can last 'till the end of the cup, but where's the fun at cheering for your team now? Let's say you start feeling all connected to your team (as many people are already doing) and you get as far as round 3, but then your team gets kicked out... So then you need to choose another team, while you've always been against every team that wasn't your own? I think this just makes you less involved, you can play more, that's true, but not with the same fire as you've been doing at the start...

On another note, the game doesn't open in full screen mode anymore, so it runs a bit faster now and it did become a little bit harder, but I still managed to get a 9-0, even without the hover trick.... But well, I only started using that when I had already been able to win with 9-0

Never thought about it in terms of prizes...

Maybe prizes based on how much time you spent in that team, instead of just prizes for being in the team will be implemented...

Or "Team EXP" for every match won while you were in that team...

Kasia · #147 Post by **Kasia** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:03 pm

I don't think that there will be any prizes, well, maybe an avatar for having played, or something, but nothing remotely big.

jcsw · #148 Post by **jcsw** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:05 pm

Maybe souveniers to top scorers!

rageaholic · #149 Post by **rageaholic** » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:08 pm

I was hoping we'd get like our team symbol or something on our lookups. Not saying i ever actually expected it, but i thought it'd be really cool. And maybe a trophy and prize for the winners.

That would be awesome!
