CD,

I don't think I did every year, but since I started I did the vast majority.If a player popped up one season but didn't appear in any others, then (s)he'd be unlikely to make the final 16 anyway, so I don't intend to go back through any seasons I missed or CRP games prior to the first All Stars team I made.
I suppose this does detract a little from the thoroughness of the project, but I feel we need to balance the time it will take against the time I have to give.
Basically it will be about me applying the same seasonal progress to a group of players from my all time all-stars list and using their career numbers, their reputations, a mix of races and play styles, a little of my own judgement, some tea leaves, the alignment of the planets and phrenology to determine a final 16.
It should be a process which allows some debate. That is (I hope) part of its charm.

Was there an All-Star team every season?
If not, will there be retrospective awards?


Not before CRP and there should not be.

We did have a probowl competition where each conference would put a team together of their best stars and play each other with temp rosters in the old client. Too much organising in the end so it died though.


I remember those games! I think I coached one.

I know with all the excitement in Prem that this is what you were all waiting for!!!

My review of how well I was able to forecast my regional run.

Round 1 vs Griffon Gate Sentinels – High Elf 1600TV – cdwat
Prediction 1-2 loss
Actual 0-5 loss
What can I say. I didn't get the boot in and they are a good team. Well done on winning this reggies comp.

Round 2 vs White Fluffy Stuff – Undead 1720 TV – Polemarch
Prediction 2-1 win.
Actual 1-2 loss.
I just couldn't get ahead in this game.

Round 3 vs Prancing Unicorns – Orc 1620TV – Keothi
Prediction 1-2 loss and lots of dead skaven and gobbos.
Actual 2-0 win and only one dead rat.
I can't believe I didn't lose against these monsters. I don't even know how I didn't get smashed off the park.

Round 4 vs Macabre Morticians – Undead 1260TV – tribalsinner
Prediction 2-1 win if I still have a team. 0-2 loss if I am rebuilding again.
Actual 1-2 loss, but I wasn't rebuilding.
I got out played. I thought my team of mutant dodging gobbos would win, but I have a lot to learn.

Round 5 vs Black as Death – Human 1380TV – Drakeular
Prediction 3-2 win if my TTM works.
Actual 2-1 win.
Not as high scoring as I thought it would be and a lot less use of HMP and diving catch than I was expecting.

Round 6 vs Fatality101 – Chaos dwarf 1250TV – Geoffro
Prediction 0-2 loss.
Actual 2-0 win.
I thought they would hit harder, but somehow I managed to do more damage than them. There was a lot of luck on my side and a few poor choices from the other coach that allowed me to sneak through with a win.

Round 7 vs Shiny Beast of Thought – Amazon 1270TV – CaptainSmiithheart
Prediction 1-1 draw.
Actual 2-1 win.
I lost the CAS war but won the game. Not quite sure how I did it but it was good to get a win.


Ladder Predictions:
1/ White FluffyStuff.
2/ Prancing Unicorns.
3/ Griffon Gate Sentinels.
4/ Colour of Money.
Well Griffongate ended up in the top 4 Razz

Wooden spoon predictions
Either my own Southern Warpstone Scavengers or Drakeulars’ Black as Death.
Actual (leaving aside Nemesis Demons who withdrew from the comp) Prancing Unicorns. I don't know how. I thought they would come second.

Personally, I think the Pearls should be reserved for the stat freaks blessed by Nuffle. An Ag4 skink is indeed a wonderful thing, but that's just one Nuffle blessing, it doesn't even have block.

My picks:
3pts Ubirr III (2 big stats and a double)
2pts Blue Suede Shoes (2 big stats)
1pt Flesh (2 small stats and a double)

Foul Frank was a fine black pearl, and if they go on more normal players that are just specially effective for whatever reason, the rest of us do get a better chance to kill one of them now and then.

Obviously if they're very effective and also a rare sort of stat freak, that's much worse to play against, and that sort get my votes.

They are bounties for players you don't want to face ramchop. If stats are what make you decide this, then by all means make your picks based on that. I make my votes based on game impact (Ubirr still gets a look in on that basis).

This Smile . For me it's all the game changers.

PS - Black Pearl only for Kill? Not for forced retirement?
