Weekly Update – Week 3 (The Contenders)

Jun 23rd, 2011 | By

This summary will go through day 22 (yesterday’s matches), mostly because I want to do one of these with KI at #1. Heh. That means that this article will cover changes in the last 8 matches, and each team’s outlook as we begin the last 12 matches before finals. Also, because I’m a bit low

Weekly Summary – Week Two (Late… Sorry, Rich!)

Jun 17th, 2011 | By

So I was reminded that I forgot to post one of these this week. Oops. I’ll cover the interesting stuff during the June 8th – June 15th matches this “week”… Previous week’s position in parentheses. I’m lazy and not including the results that came out as I finished this up. 1. Kreludor (6) I was

Weekly Summary – Week One

Jun 7th, 2011 | By

Each week, I’m going to do an update on each team, discussing the big stories, upsets, and trends, as well as each team’s chance at winning (for now). I’ll be going in order based on the standings at the time. What a crazy AC week it has been… 1. Darigan Citadel Darigan Citadel, the largest

Day 1 Preview.

Jun 1st, 2011 | By

Here we go! ACVI has begun. I expect a good number of upsets today, but we’ll see what happens. I’m keeping today’s post particularly brief (mostly because TNT hasn’t fixed the YYB timer yet), but here are my predictions: Krawk Island vs. Altador = KI-D-KI-KI This should be a fairly simple match for KI, barring

Why Any Team Could Win

May 7th, 2011 | By

I decided it would be interesting to go through each team and briefly explain why each has at least the slightest chance of winning. Especially among the top 12 or so teams, this Altador Cup seems unpredictable. Most people cite the following reasons for this shift toward an even competition: Good players going to worse

Teams that “Deserve” to Win

Dec 31st, 2010 | By

Throughout my years on the AC boards and visiting a few AC petpages or blogs, I’ve often come across predictions or articles saying that “X team really deserves to win,” usually with some reason behind the comment – dedication, sportsmanship, etc. Now, I personally don’t like the idea of a team “deserving” to win; in

My First Offseason Predictions…

Nov 21st, 2010 | By

Our views are down, so I thought I might as well post something to perhaps generate some discussion here. In the Virtupets Board on Neopets, mythress (host of a popular prediction page) made a prediction board, so I posted my predictions a few minutes ago. I kept them fairly brief, and they’ll probably change a

Jul 6th, 2010 | By

http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/2010/prizes.phtml I love the KI-themed prizes… Wait, what’s that? The Pirate PB costs 40k points? …. Sad Neon is sad.
