However, it seems Aegis has suggested that for the match between the Werewolves and his Dwarves, you (the public) should decide who wins. Very well...do so! But do not delay - and make sure you vote takin' into account my strategy and his strategy + FFIFA rules. I'm positive the outcome will be as I expect it to be.
Yeah, your Werewolves will have better luck next season. BTW, Don't take it the wrong way, it's just I want to make sure it's completly fair between us.

I agree with you totally. It's also time to make the FWC more democratic. So everybody vote now! for the winner of the Werewolves vs Dwarves match.

Your gonna try and keep the Dwarven Ale away from the Dwarves? Nippy, Hell hath no fury like a sober Dwarf....
Well, i have no time for democratic solutions so i have written a summary of the match, u can use it if u want to. ( I hope u will )
I havent participated in the tournament though, cuz im fairly new at the banshee forums. I would have loved to partake in the tournament, anyway here goes:
"Welcome, to a hopefully very exciting match between the ferocious werewolfs and the ale-loving dwarfs." The game is about to commence."
"And the dwarfs start out, by quickly loosing the ball. And the werewolfs are really speedy but.... ohhh, what a big clash down there, looks like a big fight is going on. The referee is trying to get things under control." 3 Yellow cards to each team !" What a start." During the rest of firsthalf lots of fighting went on, and the game was stopped many times, providing the chance for the dwarfs to get back in position.
"And now the second half! Ohhh ! Another clash and the 3 dwarven players are thrown out!!! 3 Red cards !! Now theyre gonna have a hard time, theyre putting evryone in the defense." "Now the werewolf backs are trying to pass long balls... the werewolfs had many chances but were stopped by the flamethrower. 3 Red cards to the werewolf team !! Apparently, they started complaining about the flamethrower, and its 8vs8 now. "Lots of damaged dwarfs walking around with bandages, and they are bringing in more ale. But now it seems that the two regular halfs are over, and were in for 30 longs minutes of overtime."
"And the werewolfs are getting frustrated and making ugly fouls". 4 Red cards are given to the werewolfs. Only one thing left now... the SUPERMOVE !! The werewolfs started howling, and soon the pitch was getting overrun by wolfs. "But what now... they are distracted by sumthing... oh my" ! "A cheerleading band of dryads" *drools*.
"And the dryads have calmed the wolfs, and some guy named Astafas, or is it Gwally? is trying to get the attention of the dryads (nothing personal here), but they are only interested in the wolfs.... uhmm back to the fight... !"
Despite beeing 8 vs 4 the dwarfs were unable to score the final goal. "And its time for penalty kicks !!" The werewolfs were so angry that each kicker from the team shoot wide, and the dwarfs were able to score twice, resulting in:
Drummroll

First off, you new to SYM? If so, welcome.
Now second matter of buisness, I don't think I've ever seen a rougher game of soccer (football) then that one. Something like 10 red cards Well, the Lupines put up a good fight, and I'm looking forward to seeing them around next season. Now, a specail thanks to the Dyrads in their serene song to calm the wolves, I'll be sure to go a little easy on them when we meet in the field.
Halflings : We have 2 strategies. First one is we snatch the ball with our lightning quick hands and stuff them down our huge pockets, and sneak into the goal. Second is dribble the ball, but with our hairy feet no one can tell which one has the ball.

Well, time's up! Here are the rest of the results: Titans/Wraiths 1 - 0 Nymphs/Sirens/Dryads "Here we go for one of the last quarter-final matches! Everyone is gettin' to the pitch - and look what we have here!..the Titans have been blindfolded so that they'll resist the opposition's charms! The game starts! and the Sirens take their usual positions at the sidelines 'n start singin' to the Titans with their beautifully melodic voices. Well, well, well...the Titans should have used ear wax, too, jus' like Odysseus in his travels. Although the Nymph's flirtin' can't get to 'em, the Sirens have 'em very much entranced - wow! as a Titan carelessly gives the ball away, one of the girls wearing a thin, loose blouse takes the ball down the field, showing rather lame soccer skills, and is then confronted by Wraiths! At the Wraith's touch, she shrivels like a decayin' leaf and dies a most horrible, unnatural death. No cards given...apparently, the Wraith's touch was so gentle (yet deadly) that it didn't concern Ruthless Eye. The Wraiths have possession, but ho! it seems they can't kick the ball due to their insubstantiality!! the game's in a bit of a stalemate, with the babes neither advancin' 'nd the Wraiths neither being able to do so. However, nearing the end of the second half, dissapointed Titan's fans start shouting as loud as they can, their boomin' voice drainin' out the Siren's. One of the Titans frees himself, and with a fantastic god-like kick, curls the ball into the top-right corner of the goal. Titans/Wraiths 1 - 0." Mimics 13 - 1 Golems "Uhm..it's the last of the quarter-finals with the over-achievers playin' each other. Ruthless Eye blows the whistle and the Golems start the game. The clay golems lead the charge, their haste propellin' them forwards, and bam! without delay they score in the first seconds, when the Mimics were still in the process of turnin' into balls and goals. The whistle blows, and the Mimics are in possession - however, jus' like their last game, they have turned into soccer balls so as to confuse the opposition and me, including. Some of them have also turned into goals at the golem's end, and the golems look desperately lost! not knowin' which goal to defend. The adamantite golem paces up and down his end of the field, tryin' to block the 'right' goal but it's hopeless! 6 balls (which are either Mimics or the real football) are rollin' along the field and occasionally scorin' (though Ruthless Eye is well aware of the real ball since he can see past illusions)...however, not knowin' where to defend, which ball to hit, the Golems were at a loss from the start. In the end, the tricky Mimics showed the Golems that they weren't going to be as easy as the Human Sorcerers (w/chain contingencies). Mimics win the day!"

This is it! Where the competition really gets excitin'. We have four teams who've managed to pass through the first round and the quarter-finals, usin' supreme strategical play. Will it happen again, who knows, submit your strategies last four!
The matches are:
(Aegis)Dwarves vs Black Gnomes(Kameleon)
(Nippy/Weasel)Titans/Wraiths vs Mimics(Silur)
May the best two teams reach the finals!! Once more, 2 days will be given for strategies! Of course, this time you may post multiple times detailin' your strategies or counter-attackin' your opponent's strategy. Spectators may also vote on the outcome of each match (jus' vote), which may decide the final outcome. PS: Thorin, I'm afraid you can't enter now, since we're in the semi-finals. You may vote on the outcomes, or join one of the existing teams, if they wish it.
Kerwyn: Thanks for the match submission and welcome to the SYM forum!

Now here's a grudge match to end all grudge matches - Dwarves vs. Gnomes. More info is definitely to come, but I think this match will be of England-Germany proportions - definitely a 5-1, but to whom? Probably not us

An excellent victory, and I had no doubt that we would achieve victory Weasel. Now I have another plan, it is so cunning that you could pin a tail on it and call it a Weasel. ( ;D)
Mimics still have a hard and rough exterior to themselves so they are still noticeable. The high Spotting ability of the Titan's will allow them to notice the Mimics from the other balls. The other idea is to use the spell COMMune ( ) with Nature, this will allow us to see and know exactly what everything is on the pitch.
The Nymphs/Sirens/Drayads had a very good time playing with all those big, hunky men, and want to thank all the participants for all the sweaty, muscular action they have seen. They are now heading back to their mountain hot tub retreat, where they will watch the remaining games with much interest. See you in four years!
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.
This is it, the Dwarves have made it the semi-finals, and boy what a rowdy group they have become. As they come marching out into the field, several of them are head butting their own team mates in celebration, then getting the same treatent right back. Boy these guys are pumped. As usually, the last two dwarves out are the ones carring the kegs of ale, and honestly, what Dwarven soccer game would be complete with out the ale? Now, this is going to be an interesting match, as the Black Gnomes (like Senegal in another foreign plane of existence) has managed to work their way up to this round in a truly surprising display of skill and tact, but will that be enough to oust these tough Dwarven players out of the competition? As par usually, the Dwarves have put on their usual spikey armour, as to make sure none of the opposing team wishes to come near them, and possibly try to tackle, under the possobility of become fillet. It's been amazing that the Dwarves have been able to control themselves in a way where they didn't go galavanting around the field, purposly running into people. That Dwarven Ale must be some good stuff, to keep them that calm. We're not to sure how these Dwarves will deal with the slightly faster Black Gnomes, but in the past two games, they have shown great ingenuity (we all remember the tricky football cannon from round one). As the team huddles around the Ale Kegs, waiting for the game to begin, it seems something is being pulled out of the locker room. It seems the technologically ingenious Dwarves have done it again. It seems to be a hybrid of their last two defensive devices. It's a multi-barrelled cannon, and it seems to be spitting out liquid fire from the side cannons, and the middle one seems to be the device to launch the soccer ball from the goal! It seems they will using a similar strategy as in the game against the Werewolves, but with the same scoring ability of their first game against the Goblins. These Black Gnomes probably won't be able to sand up to the heat, but we'll see. The Dwarves take their usual 5 on defense, 3 on offense positions, and wait for the start of the game. It should be interesting to see how they vary their technique throughout this action packed Soccer Match...
Is epoxy resin considered doping? I'm thinking of mixing my mimics starch-rich food with epoxy to make their glue more efficient. Could I get a ruling on that?
