Re: Ealdormere Crown Entrants

Count Sarnac Ba'adur 5:1 Sarnac has been working hard and he really wants it badly. I think the time is right for him to be on the throne again. Follow through on your shots, and hit them till they go down! Sir Nigel Macfarlane 8:1 Nigel is very cool. He wears lots of 14th Century stuff. If he makes...

This is a super deep list. Have fun with my predictions. The odds are for winning only. Placing and showing don't count for much in Crown, because only the winner is the winner.

I was curious about the talk about the shot thrown that started on second 28 of the video. This is definitely the "closest" shot, the rest you clearly see the sword punch block, the impact on the shield and such. So I loaded the video into power DVD and took screen captures at slow-mo frame by fram...

This is Edric's 4th and he would have been my top choice in the list, probably followed by Sir Malachai.

Is The Tribune fighting? If he is then he would certainly be in the final four, as I only know of three people fighting right now (since Critter says he is out).

Right now, I would give Darius odds somewhere between Lucan and Thorsen, maybe 8 or 9-1.

Right now, from the list that I have, I see the final four in precedence order being: Duke Lucan, Duke Kelson, Count Thorsen, and Critter. This is probably because these are the only four people I know of in the tournament. Here are the odds: Lucan: 3-1 wants it and looks good Thorsen: 10-1 wants it...

Yes, Your grace, you are absolutely correct, but it also depends on how big the shield is, and the ability of the person to use it.

First off- Bastard Swords are better. Period. Everyone knows that! Bastard swords are swords that can be used one or two handed, they aren't great swords and they aren't single handed swords- so they are bastard-ized, get it? Kind of like bastardizing a Fender Stratocaster by putting an Ibanez neck ...
