You need to be abit more specific. As an example: What would your perdiction be for a LU with 116 skills and 20FE??? Not alot to go on is there? Now if I ask for predictions for the following LU, 13(1)-16-8-17-17-3-11, great end/takes alot/good damage, 29/16/28/5/31/7, fav's of VH/VH/LO, with lunge and dodge tactic's what would you perdict? By the way he was the Adept's TC at the last face Cool

It really depends where those 104 Skills are, and what his physicals are like when making predictions?

Last tourney Manager bowed out on the predictions. Jiles did it and selected mainly his warriors, hehe. He did get a few correct though, I'll give him that.

The only SL I can recall winning adepts had like 150+ skills going in, and rascally's TC last time made up for quite a few skills with the physicals, know faves, and he was able to pick up 10 of the right skills from a prize. Where they are is often more important than how many. 116 is on the low # of skills for an adepts LU TC. Figure an average contender starts with near a 60 skill base, and learns nearly 3 skills per fe. Average would be around 120 skills.

But if you managed to almost max out in att and dec, and are rolling at or near admaster; and have good(hopefully great)damage/endurance, you could have a decent chance. If you're not at least near master decise or only do normal damage, your chances are considerably lower.

Here's another prediction....An open-handed AB will win Primus. Reason: Any contender that isn't an AB has only one strategy to use against AB's, and there is no one strategy that works against all of them. That puts the top non-AB's at a serious disadvantage.

Another prediction....RSI will be late getting the tourney announcement out.

LOL! Too late! Razz

I believe this is the latest they have been since I began playing nearly 5 years ago! Even the people in regular arenas who live in USA will likely only get one post freeze turn to run their ADMer's with the knowledge of what class they are in. That is if they come out by the end of this week! So you either go blind and hope you are right on the split lines and hope there is a good prize or you sit out or do little prep. Even basic is effected despite the new set FE for classes, as some people will not get the prize info in time to get in strats for the tourney. Plus RSI is going to lose some money on the managers who have guys setting near FE breaks that they have forgotten about or where unsure of their FE, who they would have run given enough notice.

I am retiring from predictions, just because with no freeze any longer, warriors aren't committed to run in the tourney. Thus, if someone thought they had the favorite in a given class, but really don't, it's too easy to just sit your guy out and saving him for another tourney. That might cost myself or someone else a TC in the future.

Well, the open handed AB's have the same problem with each other too. It's basically a pick your poison. Who do you *not* want to see win the most. Last Mailer, the AB's matched up with each other in the runoffs enough for Skylas to win. The same thing could happen this time.

Drat is a contender in a MI set-up too just because he's going to be using a weapon and no one will set-up against him.

That's too bad. I always enjoyed your predictions Dwayne.

Perhaps Dwayne could favor us with AD predictions where warriors ARE committed to running once they start blowing out for a TC run. Let Jiles pick himself to win every basic tourney (and see just how inaccurate his picks are).

How much are we betting? Razz

I am not saying I will personally beat Flag's warrior but I do have one that might be a threat depending on his next turn and what the splits say. Flag, is he/she a LU or an AB, if not then I think there are probably warriors out there that can beat him.
