The 2012 Overpower Online Fantasy Draft League

[mattkoz]

I tried to join up, but was probablly the last to sign up and 7 just doesn't make a workable tourney group.  Next time the draft is open I will try again.

I was thinking about it as well but couldn't be there for the draft portion, and also worried my crappy dial up connection would slow things down.    Maybe next time.

srsly?

well, our second game was better, but in the end I was drowned by lots of dup'ing in the power pack, even though I had the max-8 to his max-7. I almost eeked out an early hedge by using Juggernaut's 8S-displace on Colossus (had his Siberian Strength placed), but he pulled out a CLUTCH personal avoid for the big metal guy!!

DarKBladE09 2-0
BigBadHarve 0-0
Breadmaster 0-0
DiceK . . . . . . 0-0
zippa_head . 0-0
ncannelora . 0-2

Also, it occurred to me that with the current set up, I'm actually 0-1 and DKBE09 is 1-0 and our week is over (since he won 2/3), but then I thought maybe we should all play all 3 games each week, regardless of an 0-2 start for the week? that would make us all have 15 games played at the end of the season, and might make for a more clear Standings board? Let me/us know what you think, DiceK?

(of course I feel that way, having lost my first 2 games  )

[breadmaster]

I was going alphabetical for the ties, yeah. also, as a winner, how would you feel about playing a 3rd game with your week1 opponent, even though you've secured your win? I mean, you're technically at a flawless 1-0, but if you agreed to another game, you're risking "dropping" to a 2-1... I might improve from 0-1 to 1-3... probably not a big deal, but I like the idea of a 15 game season more than a 5 game season

i'm down like a clown, charlie brown

all up to the commish though.  it probably won't be necessary.  head to head could be used as a tie breaker

At least you're being honest about it! 

[breadmaster]

i guess i'll repost it, with tie-breaker stuff in brackets

breadmaster 1-0 (2-0)
DarKBladE09 1-0 (2-0)
BigBadHarve 0-0
zippa_head . 0-0
DiceK . . . . . . 0-1 (0-2)
ncannelora . 0-1 (0-2)

[DiceK]

Sorry for the delayed response.  I am keeping in mind that everyone may not have a ton of time.  If you go 2-0 you dont have to play the 3rd game.  If we end up with a true tie of any kind, I will look at the head to head matchup.

Zippa and I finally had our match. Some wild matches.

Here's the Cole's Notes recap:

His team - Onslaught, Holocaust, Green Lantern and Prof X (r)

My team - Invisible Woman, Deathbird, Commissioner Gordon and Blue Beetle.


Game 1 -

I did a stupid bet 5 off the top, knowing that I couldn't take it. From there recovery was a pain. It looked like I was going to do it a few times, but in the end he hammered me and took the win.

Game 2 -

1. We both place a few cards, I notice that he places a few cards with no venture value. I bet 4. There's some back and forth, but ultimately I  took the round.
2. I get my shockwave rocks the world event, locking all of his Energy icons. Since it locks down most of his cards I bet for the win and take venture.

Game 3 -

1. Shockwave Rocks the world again, only this time in the first hand. His Entropy event kills my one activator. I decide to go for broke and bet all 7. We back and forth it, but in the end I'm able to take it by 2 points.

I'm not trying to make excuses (especially since I've only beat Breadmaster, like, 2 times EVER), but I clearly brought a knife to a gunfight last night. I was mistaken when I was looking at the line-ups and I thought Breadmaster drafted the characters that DiceK drafted - so I was expecting the wrong things. Ultimately, my deck was severely overmatched and I didn't have much of a prayer in either of our games 

I'm coming to realize that I may be a big fish in a little pond, but in the ocean, I'm quickly swallowed up (X.X)

lol, good thing for you guys I don't mind being the whipping boy because I still love this game. I've said it once and I'll say it again - I never let losing stop me from playing

Good. We need enthusiasts with minimal egos around here. I have enough ego for the entire lot of us!

I don't know that you have much to fear from me, though. After all, I DID draft Commissioner Gordon! And interestingly enough, he's doin' all right for me.

Well, obviously I'm not sure what kind of deck build you're using, or even the line-up for sure, but I did see a pretty clear strategy for you by drafting Commissioner James... 

[breadmaster]

beaten me 2 times EVER!?!

i tend not to keep track of records, but in your case, i clearly remember (probably because we don't play too often).  before this tournament, of the last half dozen or so games we've played, i'm guessing you took at least 4.

and let's be honest.  both games i drew dow early, and that cripples most any team

lol, I don't know, man. I feel like I mostly lose to you. Anyway, maybe I should start keeping track - I'm sure there are trends I could learn through my own mistakes... then again, who has time for something like that? lol
