Player Movement

The first roster lock was last Sunday. That means that no players can leave a roster now until the end of the season. Teams can still sign players who aren't on rosters up until round 4. As you'll see a few teams were caught out, including me. I was hoping Victimise were going to sign at least two more players, but i didn't know that I couldn't remove players from the roster after round 1 and we're now full.

So Here's all the latest player movements. Remember you can go to MasterRater (link above) to see a full history of transactions since the rosters were opened.



Pro

HSM (joined Birds of Prey)

faulty (joined Birds of Prey)

Three (left Betrayal?)

Slimster (left Betrayal?)
Both Three and slim asked to leave Bet's roster on the Pro forums, but as they did it after the lock they're stuck on there and can't play for another team this season

0nethervoid (left ReDS? joined Juggernaut)
Another weird one. 0nether didn't leave the ReDS roster and he also played for ReDS in their round 1 match, so how can he join Jugg?

FLOo (left Juggernaut, joined MMA)

Zoldan (left Juggernaut, joined Boundless)

Trauma (left Boundless)

Travis (joined Assassins)

Nacre (left Assassins, joined darkslayers)

Sky (joined Inferno)


IML
Nme (joined Dissent)

Rezzin (left Prevail)

sage (joined Foodons)

end (joined Foodons)


AML
Rump (joined Blasphemy)

Charas (joined Blasphemy)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Divine (joined StarFire Elite)

Something Dutch (joined StarFire Elite)

Magic (joined CtrlShift)

Rebel Star (joined BlackNike)

64 IMPALA SS (joined CRIPS)

Demon (joined Zeta-Squadron)

Orcus (joined Wisdom Academy)

Gabrielle (joined Wisdom Academy)

Looks like WA might actually show 4 to a game today

AML Round 2 Predictions

I have a fever and the only prescription is more Vorbometer. Last week I went 7-3 with no matched scores. Now everyone knows that my predictions are infallible so the problems are obviously with the squads. I hope this week you can follow my predictions a little better (I'm looking at you Wasty). If you have any feedback, comments or suggestions please feel free to e-mail the guy that keeps hacking the forums. I'm sure he'd love to read them.


7rominence (1-0) vs. Blasphemy (0-0)
Victimise were due to play Blas last week but the game was postponed so I don't really know how well they're playing right now. Going on what they did in the pre-season (3 losses and a no-show win) I'm not expecting much from them, btw is Choko who I think he is? 7rom are pretty much the same squad in terms of style and ability that they've been since they joined AML, the training squad that doesn't get any better. This is going to be a close games, but not in a good way.

Vorbometer: 12-9 Blasphemy
Key players: pers (7rom), Kni8mare (Blas)
Watch out for: a choke-a-thon


Anarchists (1-0) vs. Shadow (0-1)
Narchs really surprised me last week against Secret. I didn’t think they'd be that good that quick. I see them practicing a lot and they could be a real surprise team this season. Shadow managed to lose to FnD badly, but what can you expect from a TRENCH WARS SQUAD?

Vorbometer: 12-3 Anarchists
Key players: G_BoNe, wasteofammo (Narchs)
Watch out for: Shamus giving up and finally admitting Shadow are a Trench Wars squad


BlackNike (1-0) vs. CRIPS (1-0)
A big week for Crips as 64 IMPALA SS re-joined the squad which gives them three quarters of a good starting four. Crips are going to make the playoffs, you heard it here first. Although after saying that, BN are going to shit on them from a great height on Sunday. Not that that should dishearten them, squads in the Thor division are going to have to get used to high altitude defecation when they're facing BlackNike.

Vorbometer: 12-4 BlackNike
Key players: Joe Bane (BN), bukkwild (Crips)
Watch out for: Crips tearing it up after this game


CHAOS*ZONE (0-1) vs. Warlords (0-1)
Warlords surprised me last week, I thought they'd get blown out by EF, but they held on for the full 45 minutes losing 6-3. If they had a finisher on their roster they would of won, but that's been their problem for the last few seasons. They don't really have that star player to build their starting line around and although they can stay with the big teams they eventually lose (also see the pre-season game against BlackNike). Warlords are going to struggle to make the playoffs this season. Good news for CZ, CZL starts today.

Vorbometer: 12-7 Warlords
Key players: Mission (WL)
Watch out for: At least one new W banner on the Warlords freq. Choose one style and stick to it. Jeez


CtrlShift (0-1) vs. }Silence{ (0-1)
I don't know what to make of CS. Ever since Redshift pulled out of Pro their roster has been getting strong week by week, this week they signed Dabomb(Milad), but they can't win. Last week they got their ass handed to them by Zeta. An easy win for them here over the Gauntlet squad, but if they don't sort themselves out soon they could miss the playoffs.

Vorbometer: 12-1 CtrlShift
Key players: Islord, Dabomb(Milad) (CS)
Watch out for: Another big name on CS's roster by gametime


Disavowed (0-0) vs. TEAM HOCKEY ZONE (0-1)
If this game goes over 5 minutes I'd be very surprised

Vorbometer: 12-0 Disavowed
key players: DudeNow, Zeeeeeeee (Dis)
Watch out for: Kat not playing even when it's 11-0 to Dis and everyone else has lagged out


ElementalForces (1-0) vs. NightBane (1-0)
$$$ Game of the Week $$$
So are EF for real? Are NB? We get to find out tomorrow. Most of the starters tomorrow are coming down from IML last season (United for EF and Friendly Fire for NB) and it seems to have helped the NB players more than EF, noticeably twIsta who is now NB's leader and will get a lot of kills this season. It's far too early to call this a crunch game (just like our match against dy), but it will be interesting to see if EF can match the hype. I don't think they will.

Vorbometer: 10-7 NightBane
Key players: Iron Hands (EF), twIsta (NB)
Watch out for: The Iron Hands thor. It made a comeback last week.


Fly-NDeath (1-0) vs. StarFire Elite (0-0)
And so it begins. ZDX will start in a wb, rocket and die. He will sc to a weasel, rocket and die. Then he will sc to a spider, rocket and die. He will then quit the squad. And so it ends.

Vorbometer: 12-3 StarFire Elite
Key players: ZDeathX (FnD), Divine (SFE)
Watch out for: The spec freq ripping the piss out of poor ZDX :(


Liquid Inc. vs. Oralse X
Interesting. LI got dropped in the pre-season and they've also pulled out of WZL this season, but now they're back. Malmox is back on the roster which is a big boost. They're probably a couple of weeks away from getting it together and against a team like OX they have no chance right now, but with Malmox back in the fold and the most evil lag in AML they should be pushing for a playoff spot.

Vorbometer: 12-6 Oralse X
Key players: chaoticsky (OX), Malmox (LI)
Watch out for: Pension's connection. If you've never seen it before you're missing one of the great sights in internet gaming


Llamasery (0-0) vs. Secret (0-1)
The AML llamas benefit by practicing with the IML llamas a lot, but I think they rely too much on Crunchy in games and a good squad will find them out. Secret should be a good squad, but due to inactivity and chokage they haven't been getting it done and against llamas' tight teamwork and patient playing style they're not going to get it done this round either.

Vorbometer: 7-3 Llamasery
Key players: Crunchy (llamas), trash-killer (Sec)
Watch out for: Around 1500 llamas on their freq

Pro League Pro Wrestling Predictions

An explanation for those of you new to the blog. My main predictions are for AML which is the league I play in (they should be up sometime tomorrow), but I also do some crappy predictions for the other two leagues. The three word predictions for IML (re-posted below) and the pro wrestling Predictions for Pro.

I found a program called Zeus Pro which allows you to sim wrestling matches so I renamed the wrestler's names to squad names and will sim the game of the week every round. So without further ado....

Got a lot on this week so I won't be posting much on here. I will do AML predictions and I want to write something about the new public alias bot, but after this I probably won't have the time to post anything until Friday or Saturday. Anyway here's some more crappy IML predictions.

Requiem For an Alias

(Re-posted from the old blog)

In case you haven't read high voltage's post about this you should click on the link to the Premier league main website above and read the news topic titled Aliasing...

So within the week there will be a public alias bot up and running and a long and great tradition in Subspace will be no more. RIP Picklemen, farewell Midgets, MMA taken from us suddenly, the Nintendo Power turret powered down, The Nine become The Named and goodbye to the Newbies 000 to 999.

Now you may say I'm overreacting, and OK it may be a minor thing which brings many advantages in policing the arenas and stopping doublesquadders, but we lose something more important:

Fun.

Aliases are a good thing. They bring a bit of interest to league. They get people talking about players and squads. This season in AML the squad in the spotlight is DAMN_Yankees who have several aliased players on their roster. I've been trying to break down who these people might be. Going on the links between DY, Unforeseen and Blackdragon and with bd not in league this season I guessed that maybe DY were Unf mark II, especially with several bd big names not on rosters. Now I'm thinking the aliased guys may come from Warzone. With nme now signed up to play for Dissent I'm probably on the right track. Now of course I'll just ask the bot and I'll know in 5 seconds. Where's the fun in that?

I'm going to let you all into a little secret, something only a few people know about and probably the funniest thing I've done in Subspace that didn't get me a 6 month ban. A couple of seasons ago Entertainment started a thread on the old (ie, better) forums about aliases in AML. Yes, Ent complaining about aliases, sometimes irony can be so ironic. Anyway, stool was playing for BlackNike so I got a go-between, who will remain nameless, to tell Entertainment that stool was Leaky the Leviathan. Even better I found out that the nick Leaky was free so I made it and started leaving ?messages to Ent saying that yes it was true, but no-one would believe him and of course he fell for it, posted it all on the forums and made a total idiot out of himself. Now Ent can spend 20 minutes with the friendly AliasBot and have an alias list of every name in AML and write his smug little thread about aliased ringers destroying AML.

And that's another thing. Aliases and ringers are two separate things. When bhang played AML for Happy Mob he played as bhang. An AliasBot Wouldn't of made any difference to that, or ZDX playing for FnD this season. Look at Unforeseen. In their AML championship winning season a large chunk of the roster was aliased. The players with pro experience (Nelson and pry) weren't. All the Newbies were AML'ers. Are you telling me that it would of made league more fun if everyone knew who they were the second they started playing? That's rhetorical btw.

There's little fun left in league now and this just makes it that little less enjoyable. So a final plea to the staff, please don't do this. The league is going to lose so much more than it will gain by an AliasBot. But of course it’s going to happen. So in closing a few personal RIP's:

Bad Influence, Christian, D N A, Frowzy, Gone, Guess?, Jim Morrison, Kasian, wups, Spring League =(, the L.A man rapist, Therm0z, Freighter, Vyechnost Navyeki, dry, hypocrite, blackadder, slab, Gist, Jekyll, Arboraculture, Iota, Mikhal, Racks, Hover, MrPibb, Frezy, Elvis, S, Snail, Variance, screamadelica, bendy, Mecha Striesand, Hardcore Lemon, El Bastardo, Fun loving Criminal, wye, dihydrocodeine, hula, lumpy and El Robbo

A New Home

I've discovered what the problem with the other blog is. For some reason the html editor on eBloggy isn't accepting the template. I've tried several different things to get it working again, but the only thing it will save is a few lines of code. All the posts are still there, but they can't be shown.

So I've decided to make a new home for the PremBlog here (which is where I should of hosted the blog is the first place). Over the weekend I'm going to set it up and send out invites to all the old posters and then will reopen the blog from next weekend.

And yes, the orange template is returning. I guess I better change the title bar.

The World hates me =(

Looks like eBloggy has eaten the PremBlog, so I've opened an account here in case it is lost. I should of come here in the first place.
