I think that this is a spectacular idea and wish there was something like this when I first joined a clan. I hope it works well for all involved!

Cheers.

While the wolf is a seemingly fiece and cunning predator...the tale of the three little pigs accurately depicts swine cunningly besting the simple canine hunter...outwitting him and ending a hard day's work eating wolf soup.

So will the first 4 get a bye?

Wild Geese should be higher.

Pig Renters and Wild Geese are going to make a lot of noise from their spots. I'm excited to watch all these new clans fight it out. =D>

War 6 should be the most competitive I think. It's a pity you can't make a nice Conqueror's Cup-like bracket with this one :(

It doesn't sound like there's a whole lot of faith in the 1st... the real question that should be asked, "How many bullets does it take to kill a Reaper?"
"If it's fired from a Guard, only one" ;)

It's always comforting to see we don't lose habits even with a new clan, like being underseeded :lol:

This noise once saved Rome :-$
I think out of animal solidarity I'll pick the Pigs to be the only R1 upset.

R2 predictions:
Grim Reapers vs The Pig Renters
One Step Ahead vs Wild Geese
THE PACK vs Risk Attackers

I believe GR has good experience to make it to the finals, I have a feeling our tie vs OSA will be the closest and I'm a bit on the fence for the 3rd one but The Pack seems more sturdy :P

Probably more than what you have. Very tough match up. Good luck though. Everyone roots for the 85 Villanova Wildcats ;)

It could be worse. You could have drawn Wild Geese first. I thought RA had them at #1.
