Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Oh, builders had the computer covered in a dustsheet all day Monday, and in any case I was too ill to accurately predict anything. Whereas yesterday I was still ill, but at work, so was trying to put off anything involving both hard thought AND unfun as much as possible.
Also, grater skills. Nice

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Punch Dummies (0) vs The Nermal Distribution (2)
It's a shame that the inducements won't allow both coaches to hire Dribblesnot, because that would've been amazing - THREE bombadiers!!! phwoar. But if the Nermals can't have a Dribblesnot then they'll console themselves by winning after Abom Dribblesnots himself to smithereens.
One Hit Wonderz (2) vs The Mastercheesers (2)
Game of the Week. The big Kahuna. 1st Vs 2nd. Cheese Vs Cheesy Music. A not-a-bore draw; both coaches pushing for the win but settling for the draw to consolidate their positions at the top of the table.
A Fistful of Boomstick (1) vs Bad For Thy Elf? (3)
NJ's Blodgers bamboozle Moose, who gets shocked by a woman in a bikini being so violent that even a dodging mummy can't save the day.
Orkly Ducklingz (1) vs Team Shrek (2)
The Shreks have apparently been having some Nuffle-trouble - i.e. It's all going to come good this week; PirlOrc and Co will stand about confused at a prancing Ogre, Percy will just be confused and Gerty will die at the foot of a snotling. One of the only times we dont have to play Morg and we play his 6 cousins instead. Argh.
PirlOrc is also wary that the last time these two teams faced off David BeckOrc got retired (and so opening the door for a fledgling PirlOrc to begin his path to greatness...), so did a Black Orc AND another Black Orc died.
Argh again.
MarS Spiders (1) vs Fables! (2)
I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but I THINK id3 has finally figured out that violence is fun; and he's got a few players who are good at it. He'll murder some Bowies and walk in the 2nd stalled TD in turn 16 to win.

I'd completely forgotten about that game! I still can't remember much but yeah I remember the injuries now, I think that match was partly to blame for the "black orcs are made of paper" legend.
Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Punch Dummies vs The Nermal Distribution - 2-1 to the Moggies. Mayhem!
One Hit Wonderz vs The Mastercheesers - Hard to call. 3-1 to the Skaven
A Fistful of Boomstick vs Bad For Thy Elf? - 2-0 to the Elves - too much blodge for the deadites to handle.
Orkly Ducklingz vs Team Shrek - 1-0 to the Ducklingz because it take PirlOrc a full 16 turns to limp the length of the pitch these days. Also Mayhem!
MarS Spiders vs Fables! - Finely balanced but I think the Bowies have the edge 3-1.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Spreadsheet updated up to date as of last week.
Percy is a massive 4 points clear. It would be 2 if la hadn't put undue and unfair expectations on a bunch of boneheads. Hah.
No more perfect weeks, RL3 will get one though if the elves beat the undead whenever they get around to playing it.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Oooh, time for some premature excitement.
Punch Dummies vs The Mastercheesers
Yes well. 1-3. It will practically be like an underworld mirror match..
The Nermal Distribution vs Bad For Thy Elf?
I imagine the underworlds will absolutely murder the elves to death.. 1-3.
One Hit Wonderz vs Team Shrek
Hard to imagine anything but a lizard win and league victory.. 3-0.
A Fistful of Boomstick vs Fables!
Fables coach under pressure here – if 4 other teams lose he could go top.. 3-1.
Orkly Ducklingz vs MarS Spiders
Can’t see the orcs getting much out of this.. 1-3.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
In a shock move the spreadsheet is fully up to date!
With 8 league games and 7 cup games remaining, the standings are as follows.
1. Percy (26)
2. lawastooshort (21)
3. Raveen (20)
Joint 4th. Gandalf/RL3 (17)
6. Idanmel (10) who in fairness stopped submitting predictions some time ago.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
PREDICTING ACCORDING TO PERCY
Right, so the current, at the time of going to press, league is this:
Team Points
Oneders 18
MasturBaters 16
FilthDoctors 16
Duckz 16
Feebles 13
Team NotAsGoodAsPixar 10
Bowies 9
FistingBoom 4
Dummies 3
OdieWannabies 0
After Percy gets his outstanding predictions correct, it'll look like this:
Team Points
1. Oneders 18
2. MasturBaters 16
3. FilthDoctors 16
4. Duckz 16
5. Feebles 16
6. Bowies 12
7. Team NotAsGoodAsPixar 10
8. FistingBoom 4
9. Dummies 3
10. OdieWannabies 3
So... mathematically 5 teams could still win the league... And Percy thinks this will happen...
Punch Dummies (2) vs MasturBaters (4)
Hard to not see the Selflovers running a few TDs in here; but Abom will be wanging as well (Bombs and gobbos hopefully) in his chase to qualify for the cup. Fun stuff like death and numerous fouls will also happen. Be a shame not to watch this actually.
The Nermal Distribution (0) vs Bad For Thy Elf? (3)
NJ's in with a chance of winning, so he'll be on top form and paying attention after sneaking his way up the table at the last minute. Red Lion and Yellow Tiger take the loss in their stride and wander back to the jungle, discarding broken kittens and gobbos along the way wondering what to toy with next...
One Hit Wonderz (2) vs Team Shrek (1)
Percy is leaning towards a draw, just because it would make the final table look fantastic, but Idan's Lizards are mighty fine; and that was before all the Sauraii got Block. Ergh. Here's hoping a snotling murders the Krox early on and Team WillAlwaysBeInPixarsShadow elfball as successfully as they coach wants them to.
A Fistful of Boomstick (1) vs Fables! (2)
The Mummie dodges and gets sliced to pieces by the (cheating) claws of the wolves. ID3 gets fever so pays attention to make sure he doesnt fluff his lines, sadly the fisters miss out by 1 on cup qualificiation.
Orkly Ducklingz (1) vs MarS Spiders (0)
The match that everyone wants to watch. Celebrities everywhere. Internet Sensations abound. Leicester who?
Ahem, sorry. Percy doesn't like Elves. Neither does Leroy. Or PirlOrc. Or Reginald, even. So, lots of murder; Nuffle obviously blessing the Bowies with all the 1's they deserve, and the match finishing with a turn 16 foul to clear out the last elf-embarrassment off the pitch, done by Percy himself to gain bragging rights in the Podcast studio.
So, after that happens the table will look like this:
Team Points
1. Oneders 21
2. Duckz 19
3. MasturBaters 19
4. FiltDoctors 19
5. Feebles 19
6. Bowies 12
7. Team NotAsGoodAsPixar 10
8. FistingBoom 4
9. Dummies 3
10. OdieWannabies 3
That's right pop pickers, it'll be an anticlimax as the table will stay EXACTLY the same, and the most likely team to win, and should win - look it up, it's true - will win.
You'd also expect the SelfLovers and the FilthDoctors to be up there too - but the biggest achievement will be the Duckz finishing, 2nd, because obviously tied points are decided by Casualties Caused, not silly things like 'who scored the most touchdowns (yawn)'.
Noone saw that one coming. Apart from PirlOrc, naturally.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Punch Dummies vs The Mastercheesers
I expect a Skaven return to form here. 4-1.
The Nermal Distribution vs Bad For Thy Elf?
2-1 to the Dark Elves.
One Hit Wonderz vs Team Shrek
Getting half-decent dice last game has gone to my head. 2-2 draw! Also it makes it exciting for everyone else.
A Fistful of Boomstick vs Fables!
1-2 to the slightly-less-dead.
Orkly Ducklingz vs MarS Spiders
Orcs will score 1 (obviously). Last time elves played a bashy team (Dark Elves) they failed to score so I don't think they will score loads here. Let's call it a 1-1 draw.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Oh yes! Predictifying!
Mastercheesers vs Boomstick
I can only see the grim march of AGI5 Mummies, crunching over the bones of my poor little rats.
0-1.
Spiders vs Team Shrek
I can only see the grim march of the AGI5 Elfs, crunching over the bones of their poor little comrades.
3-1
Wonderz vs Ugly Donglings
I can only see the skittering march of the MA8 skinks, ignoring the crunching of the AV9 brutes stuck in the middle.
2-0
Bad Elfs vs Fables
I think this is likely to be the match of the round, with the Bad Elfs likely to win 2-1, unless the Wolves can get their MBClaw on.
3-2 after extra time.

Re: Season 8 Predictions Thread
Time to see how the start of season predictions went! And mock them!
Scores are sum of places out you were. ie you predict someone to finish 1st and the finish 7th, you score 6 points. So a perfect prediction scores 0.
4th place Red Lion 3 (27 pts). Credit he got 4 people spot on, and notjarvis only one place out, but the other 4 predictions were very wrong, in particular Ogres to win the league and idan to finish 8th.
3rd place la (26 pts), he was clearly high when predicting RL3 to win the league with his virgin undercheesers, himself to finish 9th, and the ogres to get a podium finish. Still he got Rav, Moose & Abom correct.
2nd place is Daigaro (24 pts). Percy must've been on some crazy mushrooms as he put the Orcs to be last, behind (among others) 3 stunty teams. They finished the league season unbeaten. All other predictions were within 3 of where they actually finished so I think he did better than his score suggests. No predictions were spot on.
Which means my a clear distance, the winner is me with 12 points. Actually realistically predicting my own team helped a lot compared to Dai & la. 4 teams correct, 5 teams within 2, the only blot being Idanmel to finish 6th.
