Mireia Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I root for TY since my first AC (ACIII) So this is my fourth year with them. Why do I like them? Because being a small team makes you feel more important inside the group, because we are so few, every score counts. I like how all small teas are full of nice people, and you manage to get to know all of them... And also because I love Dinos :woot: But the question is, why do you choose a team like that?

Airotia Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I used to go for Faerieland when I was younger because I had some strange obsession with them. XD Obviously it's not there anymore or I wouldn't be calling it a strange obsession, but back when I was younger I'd pick them every time even if they didn't really have a shot 'cause I was so attached to the team. Not that back then my scores helped. D; I might have single-handedly buried my own team by doing low-effort stuff. XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo_Girl Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is my very first time participating AC, so I had a real hard time thinking of which team to pick. Eventually I followed what many experienced players had said; "Choose the team you're passionate for, not because you think they might win." Magma is by far my most favorite pet color, when I found out my account's pool timer, I turned two of my pets into Magma two weeks in a row. XD And for those reasons somehow are what driven me to choosing Moltara. I could care less whether it's one of the worst or the best team - I feel strongly for it, and didn't regret my decision one bit. :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coon Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 My reasons are similar to Neo_Girl's. I have a real affinity for Moltara, so I decided to join them this year. I know that we are pretty much the biggest underdog in the Cup this year, but I don't care. I'm in this to have fun and fight for the team that I'm passionate about and if I can help drive my team to victory than that will make me happy to be a Neopian.

Blurrz Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've been a Terror Mountaineer for four years. Made so many friends and my love is on the team too. Couldn't imagine playing on any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meiko07 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I always thought Kikos were cute, I never knew Kiko Lake was an underdog team though. I usually like to root for small or remote lands like Maraqua, Roo Island, Kreludor, Jelly World, or Geraptiku, but sadly, my favorites were not in the league so I choose Kiko Lake mostly because it's a place people don't often visit and I really like Kikos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonahman10 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I chose Altador way back during the first Cup and have stuck with them ever since, even though I'm usually not on Neopets much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanjoseph99 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I've been with Shenkuu since the 2nd cup (but on different accounts :/ cauz I keep forgetting the password) XD. It's awesome being with Shenkuu. We weren't underdogs but now we are. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice cream man Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 When I was little I watched my brother play noepets. He told me about the altador cup I said I was going to join Terror Mountain since that was the only place I knew but the first year I joined (altador cup 3) I was put in altador so this is my 3rd year with TM.

Sakabato Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I don't know if you could count Shenkuu as an underdog team, as we didn't do very well last year. I've joined Team Shenkuu since last year, not to mention that both of my Neohomes are located in Shenkuu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warehouse Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think its nice being in a small fan base. It feels like you know the people in it better and that your scores count a lot more. I haven't always supported TM but I can't imagine supporting anyone else in the future, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srumphie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Since year one I play for kiko lake, I didn't want to join a team that was super popular and I neve changed. I stay loyal ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice cream faerie Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I like the yooyu ball team for Faerieland especailly the defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureTXTurkey Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well for the first time ever V-pets isn't so much of an underdog, but we certainly always have been. No one expected us to have this kind of success, and I don't think the stronger teams really think we can win it. I picked Virtupets originally because it was the only team with an Xweetok, and I am obsessed with Xweetoks. I've stayed with them year after year because I love my teammates and the support graphics (slogans and colors). Unless there was a year when V-pets was out for some reason, I can't imagine ever playing for anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MELioristic Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I chose based on the cuffs. I tried them all on and chose the ones that looked the best n my pet! That was before his random mis-hap. Also based on the teams history, I can't help but want to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgJu Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The first year I signed up (AC IV), I didn't think to check team records...I just picked a team I thought was cool. I had my eye on Faerieland and Darigan Citadel among others, but I settled with Terror Mountain for a couple reasons: -I like ice spells in videogames. :) -The only team with an Aisha (my favorite species) and she's the captain! -I sort of like the isolated nature of Terror Mountain. So snowy and chilly and....cool. (sorry for the pun). So I signed up. I didn't play seriously that first year, but I decided to enter again the next year and went with Terror Mountain since that was my previous team. I caught the bug then and played way more games, getting my rank up to Lv. 8 (I think). I saw them doing well and I felt such a rush of pride (no one will be able to take our 36-0-2 record in SOSD from us!!). Now it's my third year and yes, I went with Terror Mountain again without so much as a second thought. I love this team and I really want to push Terror Mountain to an AC win! I think the only way I'd switch teams is if the AC went back to the old format where one team sat out each year and that team was Terror Mountain (maybe an avalanche keeping the team from getting there?). If I had to choose another team for that reason, I'd go with the Citadel or Maraqua or HW or even Moltara. But I'd be wishing I could play Terror Mountain the whole time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MELioristic Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 yeah I can see sticking with the same team as a pride thing. Im sooo proud of my team so far and I feel like there's no way they could let me down even in the next cup. If I left my team I would never forgive myself.

altadorlove Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I chose altador simply because I felt a kinship with the land. I loved the plot, and I love the style of the team. I'm not set on winning, although my stats aren't complete rubbish. I just enjoy the competition. If I wanted to join a team that I thought would win it would probably be Virtupets. I love the overwhelming support they have, and the color scheme doesn't burn my eyes like some do (*ahem* Faerieland *ahem*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I joined LD out of loyalty. However I originally joined them because I lurked on a few of the team chat boards way back when and realized the people are nice. They make you feel welcome whether you decide to join LD or not. Plus, I really like the whole Egyptian theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandipi Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I did Lost Desert for my first and second years, because my gelert was painted like that and it just seemed fitting (and was a team I liked). Did TM the time before this time because my friend was on it and I honestly didn't care about the altador cup that year. I've always wanted to join VP (it was the team that I felt like I fit in the best) but since I wanted to win so bad I could never join a team that did as bad as them. This year (my first year back to neopets/AC) I joined them because I decided that I don't care about winning as much as having fun... but I guess VP isn't an underdogger any more... so yeah. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skystorm14 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is Shenkuu an underdog? If it is, then I chose it because A) I love how it is related to the Asian ethnicity b) b- My friend wanted me to C) I loovvveee doing the Lunar Calendar! I rock at it. I get it right almost every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpinksugarxprincessx Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I originally joined Faerieland in my first Altador Cup because I liked the faeries and I thought pink was pretty (I wasn't young at all xD). It just kind of stuck. I like the team, the supporters, and I still think the faeries and pink are pretty. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
