Gencon 2012 Fantasy Contest

[dok]

It can be tough to judge after day 1. Last year's winner (tom) would have appeared dead in the water, with only 1 pick still alive. It turned out that all four of his other picks went 3-2, and his one day 2 pick won it all.

I didn't know if you received entries that weren't posted here. It looks at least Bengi hasn't posted his here, but we probably can guess what it was based on his description.

I think I'll try and gather all the teams together into a post anyway, especially if tom's only pick to make day 2 from last year makes it to day 2 this year, since there are a fair number of folks who picked that guy this year.

I ended up going for this combo
Lonewolf 30 (30)
Jim 10 (40)
Tornado 10 (50)
Scaper_Dude 25 (75)
Hendals Brother 5 (80)

For those that chose you, we may have to allow them to change their picks past the deadline. I'm not sure.

Apologies, but it has been a rough couple of months. Diagnosed with a stage 3 melanoma, two surgeries, and an infection that just keeps coming back.

Things are looking up and I will be at GenCon. Am at GenCon now in fact.

I'm not the official source for any of this info, so if anything above conflicts with what dok or MegaSilver say, trust them, not me.

I'll try and calculate everyone's day 1 scores before day 2 rolls around, assuming the results get posted to heroscapers quickly.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had such difficulties. I certainly hope you get better and that all of that stuff goes away.

[Xorlof]

Well, looks like the results aren't available yet tonight, so I won't be able to update everyone's teams with the current scores. I guess we might as wait until after day 2 is over.

It would be cool to at least know who is advancing, but I'm guessing those currently in the know are busy with other things.

[sixthflagbearer]

I just posted a list of te real names, but I couldn't tell you what their heroscapers tag is.

[arp12]

People with 3 Day 2ers:
Onacara (Hendal, lonewolf, Orcelfarmyone's dad, Sir Dendrik, sixthflagbearer)
sixthflagbearer (dok, Filthy the Clown, Orcelfarmyone, Orcelfarmyone's dad, sixthflagbearer)

People with 2 Day 2ers:
arp12 (Cleon, Cleon's dad/Bob, dok, Orcelfarmyone, Orcelfarmyone's dad)
clancampbell (Akden, Arcus, EternalThanos86, Filthy the Clown, tom)
killergoat72 (Matthias Maccabeus, NecroBlade, No, David, No, sixthflagbearer, Tornado)
orcelfarmyone (Clarissimus, lonewolf, Orcelfarmyone, Orcelfarmyone's dad, vegietarian18)
The Bearded One (Infectedsloth, Infectedsloth's brother, lonewolf, MegaSilver, NecroBlade)

What makes it interesting is NO ONE chose either of the finalists, Mattser or cornpuff. At third place, nicktheant is the greatest points-getter. Deroche (Hendal's brother, Mr Migraine, Nicktheant, Scaper Dude, SW Ninja) was the only one who chose nicktheant, but I don't think his other picks are good enough to overcome teams with more Day 2ers.

[OEAO]

Onacara probably won, seeing as of the two that picked three day-2ers, Hendal was the only one who made top 8.

[sixthflagbearer]

the funny thing is that my 20 points of people beat my 60 points of people handily. I was really hoping to face Filthy day 1 though. Q9 would have been fun vs Cutters
