I'm getting married 2wks from tomorrow.

Congratulations

[Zach]

@Psy-Tychist favorite THL memories? Not sure if any specific thing sticks out, but just the constant jokes and good sportsmanship (as far as I can remember). I just really enjoyed the vibe everyone put off here. It also kept me motivated to trophy hunt for years.

Not really related to the league, but if there's any original people still here, I'm getting married 2wks from tomorrow. Just wanted to give the old members that are still here an update since I've been MIA the last year or so. I really miss participating in the league. Some of my favorite gaming memories are from here. @Lucas, @Wdjat Prinny Doods, @Psy-Tychist, and @ShogunCroCop. How are ya'll doing!? (My old PSN account is x9zachattack5x for those who remember that)

Congratulations buddy, that's awesome to hear! Hope you have a great wedding day!

 

We're still having fun around here. Besides the people you tagged, Rach (@Mesopithecus), @xZoneHunter and @Jello are still hanging out here and cjshaitan (@AffectatiousDonk) recently joined back too. The other spots are filled with some very competitive newer people.  Like Psy said, you're always welcome to pop in if you ever feel like it. Even if it's just for the banter.

I knew I was missing a few people! @Mesopithecus came in clutch to help me grind the arena quests in Monster Hunter. Good times!

Also, @Whyfire!!!! I hope you're doing well too!

Tables after Fixture 4:

 

 

The tables are looking quite interesting, especially from Gold downwards. Lot's of people in the hunt for the top of each league. @Master_Mayhem_ and @NuclearManager both unbeaten are yet to face each other to see who sits atop the Platinum pile. @Berendsapje is still unbeaten atop of Gold, beating those who would be closest to promotion and stands in good stead to get into Platinum for the first time. @UltraDog177 is the surprise leader in the Silver League with some great scores and beating some worthy foes. Even so, he is closely followed and anyone can grab that top spot. @gazdavis11 is still unbeaten and is putting in the work to sit near the top of Bronze in their maiden season, but at some point he will come across the King of Spam for supremacy.

 

Nearly half way through the season and it's still spicy and I'm looking forward to the second half and the battles to come.

 

Fixture 5 will come out later today!

Congrats Zach! That is awesome news. I know you've been back and forth with your newer account and I remember when I started that you were a force to be reckoned with. What memories stick out from your time in the THL? 

Prinny still hangs around, pretending to game and Lucas and Shogun are active on the Discord set up for the THL. Keep coming back when you can, it's always great to see the OG players pop in. I did see a rare @Whyfire the other day...

 

 

 

So, the current season on ongoing and there will be a break after, normally between 4 and 6 weeks to set up the new season and confirm competitors. 

All the rules and points are on the first post, and there is a link to the Discord which is where most of the players hang out and can get live scores of how everyone is doing.

 

If you guys are interested, you can be added to the waiting list for the next season.

I am interested. I asked in the Discord where to sign up. Where do I need to go from here?

Just a post here is fine. As long as we have all the sign-ups in one place for clarity's sake. I'll put you on the waiting list for season 39!

Probably around the beginning of April as a rough guess. Maybe a little later.

oh nice, well done on your marriage  

 

(We don't talk about @ShogunCroCop though because of some revelations last season).

 

i must admit, have never seen you around (tho then again i have only really been a trophy hunter for around 10 ish months so it's to be expected)

 

 

Welcome back Zach!

 

Congratulations on the marriage, and good to see you back!

 

Not sure exactly what @serrated-banner9 is talking about regarding not talking about me, because I am still active in the Discord, but to be open about what happened, I messed up and earned a trophy illegally in THL (technically 2, because this trophy also popped the plat). I was having trouble with it and I paid someone to do it. There is no excuse for it. I just got caught up in wanting the game 100% (since it was the only trophy I had left), rather than doing it the right way. As a result, it put all of my other trophy earnings into question (understandably so), and I was subsequently banned from THL. I am still active in the Discord, because as a veteran member, @Lucas and @Psy-Tychist were both kind enough (of which I am grateful) to acknowledge my contributions and let me stay in the Discord. So that's what happened.

[Psy-Tychist]

We are half way through the season now, let's see what is happening and who the big movers and shakers are.

 

Platinum League:

 

@Master_Mayhem_ sits atop the pile unbeaten after putting up the impressive scores he is known for and well over a thousand points total. Alongside him is @NuclearManager,also unbeaten but still to face Mayhem in the league. That looks like it will be the battle for the title, unless someone can mess that up. Speaking of trying to mess that up, I follow them, after losing to Mayhem in a close fought 1000pt duel and facing Anorak this week; if I beat him, the title race is still on. @Jello at the sharp end with just one loss to Anorak and still in the hunt for the top spot, but has yet to face the three biggest scorers in the league, the acid test yet cometh. @Arctic Cress takes the mid-table spot and not for lack of trying. Scoring big against the top two competitors but missing the win has taken them out of the race for the top spot, but has the scoring to finish in the top four. After a rocky start, @Krazy_99 getting some wins and slowly escaping the relegation battle, keeping with the upward trajectory will keep them safe for another season. @UGotHitByGunner is very quiet this season but sits just outside the relegation battle, if he stays this quiet (we all know he is working hard in RL) relegation will loom at the end of the season. @ApriIis and @Lucas have had very quiet seasons so far and have yet to face each other to continue their rivalry but it is almost certain one of them is dropping to Gold. This brings us to the most unlucky competitor, @GTA_Darren. He lost out in the final of the Christmas Cup and even putting up respectable scores, can't buy a win. That may change in the latter half of the season, but that would be some escape.

 

Gold League:

 

After spending several seasons in Gold, @Berendsapje has decided that Platinum is where they want to be and heads the charge upwards with only one loss so far. Sharing the top spots is @Reinachii- who only has one loss also, but sits second due to points scored. They're taking the most recent season a little slower, but are still at the sharp end and are definitely in the hunt for promotion. The battle in the midfield is only separated by points scored and with four people chasing the top two, it'll get interesting the closer we are to the end. @Doylus91 is trying to push forward, even though they were retiring at the end of last season, @Sebastian could yet join his partner in crime if he puts in some effort and stops playing Monster Hunter, @Havoc273 is having a topsy-turvy season but is still in the hunt for promotion and @Wdjat Prinny Doods is failing miserably at his lazy season and should just show his POWAR! @Connie is unusually sitting just outside the relegation spots but after facing the majority of the top half, some easier matches should be ahead and push towards promotion. @FallacyUnknown is straddling the relegation spots after beating the bottom two, is still in danger of falling into Silver if no more wins come their way. @Mesopithecus is on hiatus with RL and Elden Ring taking over their time and share the relegation zone with @stupid0089 who is having the same luck as GTA_Darren this season and the luck is running out.

 

Silver and Bronze to come tomorrow.

Just out of curiosity.. Is the waiting list always that long or is this getting more and more interest? That's like an entire league waiting ?

Normally the waiting list is much shorter. Feeling very popular right now.

[Psy-Tychist]

And here is the halfway report concluded:

 

Silver League: @UltraDog177 is showing his protagonist credentials as he stays unbeaten and is pushing towards that top spot. A 5 win streak is the best he has achieved in the league and that will be tested against his next opponent and biggest danger to winning the league, @Zephyr-pt. Behind these two, the rest of the league from third to eighth is only separated by one win. @ShinobiMonk has the highest points total and seems to be up for promotion into Gold having faced the top two already, has a good chance is either of those above falter. @RedbeardRik has his competitive bone tickled a little and is rising the ranks, looking dangerous when the mood takes him and @Syr_Rys putting up scores when needed, still not sure how he would fair if pushed into the Gold division. @madbuk doing what he does best, being erratic. Scoring minimally, but winning some matches to stay above the relegation, but facing those looking for promotion may push him closer to Bronze. @Brawler is having a chill season at the moment, just like @KPWCORE, playing the long game and getting the competitiveness back, still not safe from the drop yet. @Yuna is enjoying... something. I think she has a house now and has lots of RL commitments? I know someone will tell me if I am wrong. In any case, her and @xZoneHunter sit on the bottom and are the most likely to be in Bronze next season, even if Zone just scored a point to stay active.

 

Bronze League: 

 

The King of Spam @AffectatiousDonk sits on the throne unbeaten alongside the newcomer @gazdavis11. In their maiden season, the top two have yet to come together, and that match is most likely to decide who will become the Bronze champion. After starting stressed and not having the luck, @UnboundedCash99 is free scoring and is looking to be a threat for promotion in the second half of the season. @DEMONICRUBLE18 is having the best season they have had in their history of the THL so far, and is chasing down the top two for promotion, but still has some bug competition ahead. @serrated-banner9 outscoring their entire total from last season at the halfway stage and winning matches in the clutch, turning out to be the dark horse of the league so far. @freddie1989 woke up a little and now has two wins under his belt, even with looking after the newborn, this could be the start of the rise to the top or at the very least, not having the wooden spoon. @UnwaveringSoul_ and @TheScruffyton are having the most laid back season and somehow are still winning some matches with @IrishNelly having a similarly laid back season but putting up a fight against gazdavis and then going back to sleep. On the bottom and currently the recipient of the wooden spoon, is @RudeDonny who after trying for a couple of rounds has fallen asleep and gone on hiatus. If this doesn't change soon, they will finish last and without a win to their name.
