The 2012 Overpower Online Fantasy Draft League

[Nate Grey]

yeah, the first column shows the weekly results, the second column shows how we got there.

For example, I've lost both my weeks so far, and in both weeks I lost our best-of-three by sweeps. Whereas Zippa lost his first week to BBH by tying that week, then losing that best-of-three tie-breaker. For the standings, we're first using the weekly results, then deferring to the individual match results for tie-breakers on that. So, Breadmaster has an edge on BBH right now because, while they're both 2-0, BBH has lost a match while Breadmaster has not yet lost (although, I'm not sure where DarKBladE09 fits with them at that posted record...)

I see now. Thanks for the explanation!

not sure how the rest of the standings should look. zippa and I have to finish our matches for last week. when we left off, he had me 1-0. But, I just played BBH in some tight, high-risk play and eeked out my first W!

breadmaster 3-0 (6-0)
BigBadHarve 2-2 (5-5)
zippa_head . 1-1 (3-2)
DarKBladE09 1-1 (2-2)
DiceK . . . . . 0-2 (0-4)
ncannelora. . 1-2 (2-5) (without the 0-1 from zippa, yet)

in our tie-breaker, our first hand BBH got Best Laid Plans... I knew he was using that auto-venture team and using Excelsior, so I needed to plan carefully. I still needed to plant DoW, because I just couldn't be sure if he'd get some activators. I also planted my own Event to move the Completed Missions back to Reserve, because I knew I could place 7 cards of my current hand. Then I planted a lv.8 AP Power card and a Master Mold, figuring I need to get as few offensive Specials as possible.
So, back to the placing.
I had 1 duplicate. So, I place everything else. notably, Power Leech, A-Next, 7I attack for Sentinels and 5E attack for Juggs. He placed 4, I think. I venture 1, he ventures 2. I concede.
Next hand, his Event comes up: No E Icons to attack.
My Event comes up to reset the Completed Missions... and also my other 2 Events! D'oh!!
So, i'm down 3 cards - the 5E on Juggs, and the 2 extra Events. But, I had him outplaced, so I'm feeling tentative... then he Ventures 7 FTW!!!
there's some good, careful back-and-forth. The biggest move was me hitting Invisible Woman with Mutant Countermeasures (GA), and then hitting her again with Power Leech. Notably, it was that I used Power Leech on the AP icon, dropping his lv.5 and lv.6 Power cards...

In the end, I hit him with 24 points of venture, but after his manipulations through Inherents, Excelsior, and Frictionless Foam, it was 12-4 me.

First WIN! 

updated:

breadmaster 3-0 (6-0)
zippa_head . 2-1 (5-2)
BigBadHarve 2-2 (5-5)
DarKBladE09 1-1 (2-2)
ncannelora. . 1-3 (2-7)
DiceK . . . . . 0-2 (0-4)

Lost my second game to zippa in terrible fashion 
on the plus side, my win over BBH earlier gets me out of last place! I'm coming after you next, DarKBladE09!!!

[BigBadHarve]

Yup, got my arse handed to me. Alas, my Venture deck is a killer against battlesite teams, but not so effective against Any Heroes.

DarkBlade and I have done two of our 3 matches, with 1 win apiece. I'll update when that last match is done.

Speaking of upcoming matches, has anyone heard from DiceK lately? he's my last opponent (for next week), but it looks like he has some other games to get through first...

[DiceK]

My apologies.  I am still 1 or 2 games short of completing my match w/ Darkblade.  Last week, I played Zippa_Head who defeated me 2-1.  I will be sure to get w/ Darkblade this week and complete our match, as well as my remaining match.

I have been extremely busy with work, not allowing me much time for OPO.

In other words, in order for me to get into the playoffs, I need beat DiceK and I need DarKBladE09 to lose his last series.

DarKBladE09, who are you playing last?

Here's the fun part of the 'season'. Get out the computer models so we know which teams cheer on to give the underdogs a chance. LOL!

See what we can do and go to the next step.

no worries, man. I still can't seem to get ahold of DiceK. As I always said in High School - if the teacher's late, no one else is 

[DiceK]

Guys, I apologize as well.  I have been extremely busy with life and work.  I may have some time this weekend to finish my last week match.  Please bare with me.  Thanks.
