    The carnage!

    When we started this thing a scant couple of hours ago #1 was in the high 1500s and #10 was in the high 1400s. Now Number 1 is a whopping 1733 until he screws up, while #10 has fallen away to a miserable 1446.

    Optimates making another push... Let's see how it turns out!

    Lets try not to make it sound too much like he's stuck in the lavatory...

    Edit: Could have gone with a maternity joke but scatology is always my first love

    I got smacked 5 times in 10 minutes once I cracked the 1,000 rank barrier. I can't imagine what this is like for all of you. Best of luck it's entertaining to watch for sure!!

    Well that was quick. He's gone again. Looks like he's not running a great team. Only two characters at lvl 85, nobody above.

    Meanwhile, Nick is sitting at the unassailable 1733. Peanut is holding out at 1704.
    But Nemek and Neil are FIERCELY battling for the coveted position of third. First Neil's ahead... then Nemek... now Neil...
    Good luck to both parties!

    Oooooh, wait a minute, here goes peanut! Does he have a 29+ queued up?
    No? He went up four points? Maybe he got attacked or something.
    Ah well, you've got a fairly good buffer between yourself and the battling sharks!

    Couple comments: If Nick wins, it would be so funny to have "Previous Winner: Nick Fury" on the next Elite.
    And two? SHIELD BUGPOP SHIELD
  • weird.. i won my match against bugpop but it only gave me 4 points. after finding him again in queue he was worth 13, how strange.

    Just queued nick fury up. Hehe. I won't snipe at ya :p
    How the hell are you getting matched with the top 10?

    I unshielded for one battle with stocky102000 when he got to a point where the battle was worth 40 points. Seemed like a good idea to jump out, fight one battle, an re-shield. Somehow, during the time I was unshielded, I got hit by BlueVortex for -46. His retaliation value to me is 5. Within minutes of shielding, I got hit by three other players for what would have been -37, -28, and -35. I give up. I'll just stay shielded since I'm in 55th place and should remain top-100.

    But, seriously, what is the point to this system? I'm sure glad the Devs have come up with an incentive NOT to play the game. I guess they must be making a mint from the shields.

    I wonder if we all tried to hit Nick Fury. I wonder how far off I was...I had an OK board (considering Hulk takes so long.)
  • i did try to hit nick, looks like i was a few seconds slow. got hit by nick and.. someone else, optimates shortly after i shielded
