Reindeer Games 2003 - An Odds vs. Evens Dynasty - Page 2

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 09:52 AM

Could one of you guys please post over in the General Discussion thread that the Evens are on the clock. I would but it'll look like dola posting at best and internet masturbation at worst.

General Discussion Reindeer Games thread

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 10:38 AM

I say Eggnog or jingle bells...egg nog is all around solid, with 3 magic also(the max possible)....jingle bells would give us the speed we are lacking...

My vote goes for egg nog this round...dont vote otherwise!

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 11:12 AM

i wont be back on-line till like 5:00 western time...it only 10:11 right now...

so i say the evens draft egg-nog!...not letting anybody else decide, but such is life

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 11:12 AM

Odds are up!

Tasan · 12-04-2003, 11:21 AM

Eggnog is good, go with that if we haven't already!

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 11:31 AM

Updated. Odds are on the clock.

JAG · 12-04-2003, 11:39 AM

I'll nominate Rudolph. Great teamwork, magic, navigation, and snow, and not much worse than average everywhere else.

Masked · 12-04-2003, 12:03 PM

Rudolph looks okay.

Katon · 12-04-2003, 12:12 PM

I'll nominate Sugarplum for the evens. His snow score is disappointing, but he has flat out awesome takeoff/landing and good speed & power as well.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 12-04-2003, 12:13 PM

Assuming that evens are now up, I'd like to see us pick Evergreen.

Not very good teamwork or endurance ratings, but I think we can make up for that in some of the later picks. And since I've got to go to work, we should look for some speed and teamwork in some of our next picks.

later

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2003, 12:14 PM

So we've got...

Vlad aka Erik Snowbeard of the Neither North Nor South
Donner aka Don Reindazzi
Rudolph aka The Red Nosed Flying Furball

Oh sorry, I'm an even

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 12:57 PM

Odds took Rudolph 3rd. Evens are up and have nominated Sugarplum and Evergreen.

Tasan · 12-04-2003, 01:16 PM

No no no to evergreen, at least at this point. He's way too slow.

Tasan · 12-04-2003, 01:17 PM

I second Sugarplum. Decently rounded, with some good primary skills.

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 01:23 PM

Evens land Sugarplum. Odds are up!

Poli · 12-04-2003, 01:26 PM

drat. just got in and now i'm off to school. i'll be back later.

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2003, 01:30 PM

I'm liking Dancer as our guy. Top scores in a lot of areas. Sucks at other ones, but hey, he shores up a couple areas we're weak in.

JAG · 12-04-2003, 01:31 PM

I'll nominate Moonbeam. Good power, speed, teamwork, and brings much needed manueverability to the squad. Also 2 magic will be nice. A little better endurance than Dancer too.

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2003, 01:32 PM

I'm sticking to my guns on Dancer this time, over Moonbeam. We need a tiebreaker.

JAG · 12-04-2003, 01:37 PM

After two stages, Dancer'll be sucking wind while Moonbeam will still be flying through the night!

Recommended name: Moon('syou)Beam

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2003, 01:42 PM

Moonbeam will break his leg trying to land on the first stage.

Edit: I just re-read the rules regarding endurance. Ew.

Fuck my guns. We draft MOONBEAM!

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 01:47 PM

Moonbeam it is. Evens, you're up.

Katon · 12-04-2003, 02:12 PM

I think we need to pull a lead deer about now. Who has high navigation? From what I can see, here are the main candidates:

Evergreen looks good apart from the stamina. Note that speed is less important at the start; if we're gonna get him, let's get his two or three stages at the start.

Clarisse is slow (not so much of a problem early on) and is going to break one leg breaking off, another landing. Still, Sugarplum can cover for that, and I like her teamwork and magic.

Nominating Clarisse, could live with Evergreen.

KevinNU7 · 12-04-2003, 02:20 PM

Let's Go....

KevinNU7 · 12-04-2003, 02:20 PM

EVENS!

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 04:47 PM

Id say blitzen....he seems a more solid reindeer, and has that magic and endurance i like....he should be a rock for us if we dont put him up front...that navigation seems to be his only downfall

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 04:50 PM

or jingle bells...i mentioned her as a possible round 2 pick...i think either of these two would be solid deer, and we need all around right now...in the later rounds we can fous on specialties, but the all around deer are going off the board and we need to grab them...ones with a few great and a few lousy should be around later

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 05:01 PM

any thoughts...evergreen has too low of endurance for my likes, and by the sound of it we will need some...clarisse is alright, but i just feel there are more solid options available...right now my list looks like so:
1.Blitzen
2.Jingle Bells
3.Clarisse

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 05:04 PM

since WSU is on now, id say take blitzen, but i want a second opinion before taking the pick...anyone?

Tasan · 12-04-2003, 05:14 PM

I'll second blitzen

JAG · 12-04-2003, 05:22 PM

In that case, with Evens taking Blitzen, I will nominate Jingle Bells. Good guy...er deer...for the long haul.

sterlingice · 12-04-2003, 05:25 PM

Definitely Jingle Bells. I was hoping they wouldn't take him. I'll second that nomination.

SI

JAG · 12-04-2003, 05:27 PM

Good teamwork SI.

Evens are on the clock!

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 05:32 PM

who now boys?...katon wanted clarisse...give me a sec to look at stats

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 05:35 PM

my vote goes for dasher if jingle bells is gone...just noticed him and he looks like another solid reindeer...

anyone second dasher?

Vince · 12-04-2003, 05:56 PM

Endurance and all, I think Dancer's a pretty solid pick. Even with a penalty on most of his scores, he's one of the better 'deer. I'd say this is my preference right now:

Dancer
Clarisse
Dasher

Katon · 12-04-2003, 05:59 PM

Well, we still need another lead deer, and I think Clarisse is the best bet for that, but Dasher looks good to me. Second Dasher.

Just looked at Blitzen, and one of our navigation spots looks pretty well filled. Can't see how I missed him; definitely better than Clarisse. Good call on our last pick.

JAG · 12-04-2003, 06:31 PM

Nominating Cupid for the odds. Kickbutt snow, maneuver, teamwork, pretty good speed and power, lousy endurance, but he'll be great for the start.

Coffee Warlord · 12-04-2003, 06:33 PM

Ahh, good to see SI picking up the slack while I was at dinner.

Cupid's ours.

JAG · 12-04-2003, 06:38 PM

EVENS...are on the clock.

sterlingice · 12-04-2003, 06:50 PM

Cupid was one of the two deer on my shortlist. I'd have mentioned it but my net went out for a few minutes.

SI

Katon · 12-04-2003, 06:51 PM

Well, now that the odds have started picking the ones with weaker endurance, I say we nab Dancer.

WSUCougar · 12-04-2003, 07:31 PM

Wow, you guys have jammed, great job.

I've updated the teams and the reindeer pool. Evens are on the clock.

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 07:38 PM

considering last round thats two for dancer, and ill back it up...dancer it is

JAG · 12-04-2003, 07:43 PM

I nominate Clarisse for the Odds.

Blade6119 · 12-04-2003, 07:44 PM
