Dae Lærke Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 As of now, I think it's anyone's game. It's probably safe to teams like Faerieland are out, but with only one game played, you never know what can happen. Maybe the Neopian Gods are smiling on the underdog this year. It's silly to try to pin a label on a team because of their previous win record. I do think DC will have a bit of a noob problem, but that doesn't mean they won't make it to the finals. In much the same way, I think teams with "paint brush potential" will also have some noob issues (because everyone wants a Pirate/Island/Shenkuu PB! Even though Shenkuu PBs don't exist!), but that's not necessarily an instant death wish. Just being someone is a noob, doesn't mean they can't play Yooyuball, after all. Look at DC overall. They're the type of team that, even before winning last year, attracts noobs, with their dark imagery and tough attitude, but in the end they still did win. Roo Island will probably have less of a noob problem because they're not a visually or overall attractive type of team. In the words of my friend today, "What the heck does Roo Island have? Dice? Who cares?", which can really work for them in terms of who they will and will not attract. So they won second last year? Doesn't mean they're cool. Of course, there will still be people who join because they did win second. In the end, though, none of that means anything until we see how well the teams preform in more than just one match.

antiaircraft Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Wait, do you mean you have 13/10 wins agains each, or that you scored 13/10 points in a single match? o_O Either way that's pretty good, congrats! :) Though if it's the latter then they must have tweaked the scoring system; I'm pretty sure that was literally impossible last year -- after 9 goals the goalie would speed up to be faster than the ball and it seemed like you couldn't get a tenth goal no matter what you did. I always kind of wondered why they did that actually, I figure if you're capable of getting more than 9 goals a match why on Earth shouldn't you be allowed to? :eh: I haven't been able to try for it yet this year, I've had a couple 9-0 matches but I keep running out of time before I can go for a tenth (stupid snow Yooyus always take me a couple tries. :P) Yes, with the new version of Yooyuball the goalie no longer becomes impossible to shoot past. You can score more than 9 goals if you're good enough. :yes: Look at DC overall. They're the type of team that, even before winning last year, attracts noobs, with their dark imagery and tough attitude, but in the end they still did win.

Of course, there will still be people who join because they did win second. I guess you were talking in a different context, but for the record, Rooligans are cool. :yes: They have an excellent, jovial, truly sporting attitude towards the AC, and bashing other teams is virtually non-existent among their ranks. Now if that doesn't make a team cool, I don't know what does. With that said - GO MARAQUA! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouddark Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well todays scores are in guys, Roo Island in first, and Krawk Island following close by. So I say it will be these two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Personally, I still think it's too early to judge. I might come up with some predictions after the first Round Robin is over. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whacker Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Newbies aren't always so bad to have. This is my first year and all my scores sent today against Altador have been 7-0 to 9-0 except for one. Lets pick up the slushie slinger KI! It's too bad RI and KI aren't scheduled for a round robin match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if that doesn't make a team cool, I don't know what does. I meant from a perspective that doesn't include the fans. There are plenty of people who join teams without looking into the type of players it attracts (especially because the neoboards are horrifying), just what the world features in game, and the like. That being said, I'm a Rooligan myself and I adore the way most of our players act. If we were judging by player attitude alone, I would say Roo would win. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a Rooligan--this is my first year and the attitude of the team was one of the reasons I joined. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naalaro Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well i would like Shenkuu to win. Even though i didnt join last year i was a supporter (making banners and stuff), but this year i'm in it, and that means i'll do my best to get Shenkuu the Cup!!

Slash the Wolverine Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I support Meridell. So, I think Meridell's gonna win. That explains the counter. I suck at Yooyuball. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKIN1ONLY Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well I believe that krawk island is going to have some problems in the future. When they go up against higher level teams(like RI b)),which they havent done so far, their gonning to loose. No offence but they did not have a good win over MI and Maraqua hadn't pulled itself together(like it did today). SO in conclusin saturday when they play Shenkuu(the first hard team they'll play) I plan on them loosing terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 *Cracks knuckles* Well Maraqua's finally getting into form. We might just be able to grab a decent rank in the tables once we get up to speed. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had to face shenkuu and Kreludor Those are some of the top teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whacker Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Actually both Shenkuu and Kreludor have played terribly, with no yooyuball wins. Shenkuu has the excuse of being up against some of the top teams, but that means at least two other teams, DC and HW, are also better than Shenkuu. Kruledor is just doing bad. Let's just wait until we get the top four and see who's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 You can settle your arguments when you cross paths. :yes: For now, you're both top teams, so bask in that knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. just look at most of the newbies that have just started neopets and look at all the trophies they have. Of course I might just be overreacting but really it's not the newbies to blame. They try their best because it's their first time participating in the AC, like me. But what I'm saying is everyone should give 100% no matter what! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
