04-30 Ideas from Dreamonsson and some more!

Well done off one off one off our youngest players to be first with to think and say his meaning im proud off u dream:)
And all English talking ppl we should come with explanations who to do with comments and be better to write on
English. I have to be very nice against Marru who write English so much faster and better, but it take a lot off time and meny swedish dont   read English so well, so we have to write both languge.So i hope Marru dont be MAD GRRRR now and come driving and kick my ass when i promise stuff i dont talk with here abaout:P
And Cheese say to mee that we have to do a more intenational sajt again more like it was 03-04 ty mate :)

Efter jag hade läst texten som DaCa Skrev om ''Ge bort match eller ren manipulation?!'' så börja ja tänka Gud va bra att det ska börja att ge ut ''gula - röda kort''
men så tänkte ja också att alla vet ju inte om detta så
och så borde det finnas regler som man måste följa t.ex:
skriv inte fula ord eller förolämpning så tänkte ja att man kan göra en ny spalt på själva Shockplay nu ser det ju ut så här ungefär.

\hem\ \tuneringar\ \liga\ \sök\ \loggaut\
men det borde se ut så här
\hem\ \Regler\ \Tuneringar\ \liga\ \sök\ \loggaut\ 

En eloge dream att du skickar sånt du tycker man måste inte tycka exakt som Daca, han kan ju med få nya ideer när han ser vad vi vill, det är ju eran chans här att visa Daca och Rocket vad ni tycker och vill:)

Så min egen lilla åsikt som kommer senare i större omfattning om nya lovande spelare.
Dreamonsson11 en ung schyst kille, trevlig framförallt för mig viktigast av allt och redan uppe i div 1 och bråkar:)
Så håller han suget uppe o spelar så kan det mycke väl bli nästa elit lirare tom troligt.
Så Se upp Master släkten är värst:)

Marru in Div 1. Success or Failure? and some golden :P

Marru in Div 1. Success or Failure?

For you who doesnt know I made it up to Div 1 in couronne for the first time ever last week ^^,


I must say I really wasnt prepared on that, the games are so much different in div 1.
At least I think so because as some know I havent played so much pushing/tactic games yet..

I have 1-5 in games now *wiie* Well.. I think it has been fun (I already predict I wont still be there next week) :D

Now I have really experienced the 'real league' games.. yea I think the 'real' games starts from div 1!

So if I fall down back to div 2 on friday.. I'll be back soon ;)


Im glad I have played better than that in the new Golden round!!! =)
Now I have 4-2 there and my losses are against two really good players - Mr Daydreamer (1-3) and braverymonkey (2-3)..


How is it going for you guys, are you satisfied with your start in round 3?


//marru

Marru i Div 1. Framgång eller misslyckande?


För er som inte vet så kom jag upp till Div 1 i couronne för
första gången någonsin förra veckan ^^,

Jag var verkligen inte förberedd på hur spelet är där, matcherna är mycket annorlunda
i div 1.

I allafall tycker jag att dom är det eftersom att jag inte har spelat så mycket deff/taktik matcher än..

Jag har 1-5 i matcher nu *wiie* Aja.. Det har varit roligt (ja jag tror redan att jag inte kommer vara kvar där nästa vecka) :D
Nu har jag verkligen upplevt dom 'riktiga' liga matcherna, ja jag tycker att dom riktiga ligamatcherna från div 1!
Om jag ramlar tillbaka ner till div 2 på fredag så kommer jag tillbaka snart ;)

Jag är glad att jag har spelat bättre än det i den nya golden rundan!!! =)
Nu har jag 4-2 där och mina förluster är mot två riktigt bra spelare- Mr Daydreamer (1-3) och braverymonkey (2-3)..


Hur går det för er, är ni nöjda med eran start i runda 3?

//marru


04-28 Golden round 3

Now its down with 8 groups,  i have hope after first round that all should try play but nopp:/

So now its been only 8 groups, this time i think and hope all rotten apples was gone and only players who try play there games are left.

Nu är vi nere i 8 grupper då, jag hade hoppats efter runda 1 att alla skulle försöka spela sina matcher men nopp:/

Så nu blir det 8 grupper kvar, den här rundan tror och hoppas jag att rötäggen är borta och alla försöker lira sina

matcher.

Copy off dacas blogg

Hej på er!
Alla som råkar ut för bra eller kassa saker kan ni inte va snälla och skicka till wolf eler marru på shock.
Tycker de som gör bra saker är värda en kalkon lika så fuskare,otrevliga ena ,såna som snor matcher och plus tex.
Börjar väl själv med min åsikt denna vecka.
Kanon
1. Daca för ett stort bra jobb med golden och alltid vettig och trevlig.:)
2. Zimond  just bara för han spelar som en dröm när han vill och alltid trevlig ett föredömme:).
3.MrD  För all hjälp med the spotlight och att du är en schyst kille, som altid peppar på när han ser man spelar

04-27 Golden omg 2. Omg överraskning. The Kalkons

Golden runda 2 vinnare och överraskningar

  

Gr,1 Zimond 14-0 ingen högoddsare direkt..

         DIF SM 08  nytt namn för mig men starkt att bli 3:a där.

Gr 2 Gädda 1:a  höll undan för Hektor 11-1 imponerad av att Hektor redan

         Spelar så bra efter ett så pass långt break.

  

Gr 3 Scandal alltid med o är med däruppe bra jobbat.

        Tycker nog Johank87 gjort en  riktigt bra omgång i en SVÅR grupp 3:a där inte

        Inte lätt.

  

Gr 4 IM Pope 13-4.  Tallulah måste bli överaskningen 2:a där int spelat mot

        Dem så svårt att skriva nått mer.

  

Gr 5 MrD besegrat starkt ddJ. Tycker nog att de corre gjort en bra

        Runda.

  

Gr 6 Braverymonkey 1:a nu viade du vad du kan:P

        MrCarl med där framme bra gjort.

  

Gr7 Päron inget (päronJ  kanon.

       Daca  med igen, trots prob som flera av oss at inte få spela

       Prestige med bäst i familjen, väntar en runda innan jag

       Sätter min slant, men lutar lite åt kal just nu:P

  

Gr 8 Cronos i form svårstoppad då.

         Zebra impad mannen utan deffar 4:a bra jobbat!!

  

Gr 9 Andreas heller inte direkt oväntat:P

         Vårare med överraskning Master bra gjort att va med

         Men väljer marru som omg suprise 4a starkt igen.

         Vi skriver så mkt m kat och Master så du får ett perfekt lopp där:P

  

Gr 10 Godis 1 a      sen så grymt lite spelat så ingen mer än 2 an Dentist 10-3

          På en andra plats!!!

Finns många kalkoner även denna omgång alla som inte ens spelat sina 10

KASST.

  

Måste även dra upp alla i vanliga ligan som snor matcher och plus så dåligt

Skandal ni ens får va med!!!

image40


Gr.1 Zimond 14-0 no surprise about that


Gr.2 Gädda is the first one, he kept away from Hektor 11-1.
Impressed by Hektor who plays so well after so such long break.
 

Gr.3 Scandal is always on and up there, well done.
Think Johank87 have done a really good round in a HARD group, he got third there. not so easy.


Gr.4 IM Pope 13-4. Tallulah must be the surprise cause shes the second.
Havent played against them so its hard to write anything more.


Gr. 5 MrD won, strong DD. Think that de corre have made a good round.


Gr. 6 Braverymonkey is the first, now you showed what you can do:P
MrCarl is up there too, well done.


Gr. 7 Päron is not a (pear) Brilliant.
Daca is on again, despite trouble like the rest of us had too-not to be able to play.
Prestige with the best one in the family, Ill wait a round before I bet my money, but it
leans a bit to Carl.


Gr. 8 Cronos is in shape, hard to stop him then.
Zebra, Impressing man without pushing. Forth in group. Well done!!!


Gr. 9 Andreas, not so unexpected either:P
A bit surprising about Masterhand, well done to be up there!
But I choose marru as omg surprise, forth, strong again.
We write so much about Kat and Masterhand, and then you go get a perfect run there :P


Gr. 10 Godis is first. And so little games are played after the second one.
Dentis 10-3 at the second place!!


There are a lot of turkeys even this round, all havent played their 10 games, lousy!!

And my favourite turkey is SEEDEE in my group, he promises games and then logs out fast.
LOUSY.


I must bring up all in the regular league too, people who steal games and plus, so bad.
Scandalous you even get to be in!!


Kat is in the spotlight!

Heey! Here comes the interview with my lovely twinsister Kat!
// Marru

image36

Producer: Mr Daydreamer.


With me today on "Spotlight" I have my soulmate, couronnerival, aka Katjziska.
Enjoy :)

What is your real name?
Katja


How old are you?
22

How about your civil status?
I´m engaged with a dork named Martin, or as you know him "Mr Daydreamer".


And whats the story behind you meeting this "dork" (you do know it's me your talking
about ^^?) =D

Well, it´s a long story, we had an "evil eye" for eachother from the beginning because
once I "stole" his points with another account that I had.
But one evening he challenged me to take some points back, it ended up us playing half the
night, and having fun.
It was just luck that I accepted his challange this night, I usually just ignored
them because I thought he was a prick lol..
Me and marru were drinking so she came to watch us play. We were goofing around as
always and MrD got curious and started asking questions and soon enough he started
goofing along with us.


Ok so you became friends and hung out or what? How did you meet up in real life?
Yep. The first thing you checked when you got out of bed was if he was online ;)
We met in real life four months after we started to play. It could have been much
sooner, but it was some things that had to be cleared up before that.
But when we met it was totally right from the beginning.


Ok enough about the dork.

How did you get in contact with shockplay from the beginning?
My ex boyfriend introduced me to Shockplay and I got stuck, this was in the
beginning of year 2003.

Ok, but did you have friends in here or you easily found friends or what?
I mean how the heck did you get so good so fast?

No didn´t have any friends from the beginning, I just collected them on the way ;) 
As most I had 140+ friends on my list, but it just didn´t work out, they all were too
anxious to play me, it didn´t go many seconds before someone sent me a message
asking to play, it got too much for me, but it all sorted when I started dating
Mr Daydreamer in year 2005, you could see big difference in the interest in me lol ;) 
From getting messages all the time to vanish to almost nothing.
But I still have my favourites that I have known for a long time :) 


Ok, tell us about your favourites, who are/where they?
I have had many friends in different periods of time.
One of them who I miss very much is Jlinares who no longer is active at Shockplay.
He will always be my Jman. 
Miss Swingers I would marry if I was lesbian, lol, we are best friends.
Payne is one member I´ve known even before Mr D and still are good friends
with.
One fun person I´ve lost contact with is Mathe, too bad.
Wolf is one of the nicest persons on Shockplay.
And Ittoj/R.I.K is a muppet just like me. :)
Peppie have always been a nice challange and fun to play with.
The people I have most fun with nowadays are Cheese, Woodchip and ittle boo.
Of course there are lots of more fun players on Shockplay, these are my nearest friends,
but new friends are always welcome :)

Don't worry marru, you and me are automatically accounted for :)  


Whats your goals, what do you want to achieve by being a member at shockplay?
I don´t have any particular goals, I´m just here for a good time, to have fun with
my friends and meet new people  :)

But there are some people that want to see you back in the couronne league, isn't there a goal
to make it to elit, and maybe get a gold?

Not at the moment, but things can change. If I find the motivation that is.


Ok, in your opinion. Who is the best player of all time?
Best Couronne player?             -rocketpimp-
Best Backgammonplayer?            Red Fear
And best Table Tennis player?     Wickey27

How about you and table tennis, we got a question from a member.
Why did you stop playing table tennis?

Well I had to quit because there were a nerve causing pain in my arms during pregnancy,
I was on top of my game, so it was boring that I had to quit so I never got around to start
again  :(

So you are going to allow Mr D to be the best Table Tennis player in the family? :)
No way. I still beat him once we play, even though he is active in the upperdivisions in league :)

Yeah she is right :( I'm in need of practice..

But there is 1 game where you seem to be unbeatable? Tell us about the game, your ranked nr 1
on shockplay in it?

Yes it´s Shanghai Multiplayer. I´m quick in this game, too bad there are too few people who play this game.
The only one who have beaten me recently is marru.
but I blame it on she was in the same room as me and I couldn´t concentrate lol  ;)
 
As a witness I can say this, marru couldn't keep her mouth shut! =D

Ok we are running out of time here so I'm gonna jump to another question.
When this new version of shockplay arrives, there will hopefully be brand new games coming out.
Are there any particular game you would like to see on shockplay?
And are there any more leagues that you would like to have?

I´ve always wanted Airhockey and Shanghai league on Shockplay, so
it would be a nice surprise if it showed up.
Otherwise I´m satisfied with the games that already are there. 


Ok ehrm, another member wants to ask you, for this last question.
How many children do you want to have?

If I knew that all the children would turn out like the daughter we have today Isabell 2 years,
I would have a million  :D
I´ve always thought of having 3 children, but time will tell  :)


Thanks Katjziska for being here with me today.
Not that I like you being better than me but just as well we tell the world about it :P
Thank you for watching, don't miss next weeks "Spotlight"
Untill next week.  Have fun :)

Landskamp Sverige-England

SHOCKPLAY.SE


LANDSKAMP I COURONNE -SVENSKA LANDSLAGET-

Med tanke på att det stundas ett världsmästerskap i couronne till hösten med start omkring månadsskiftet September/Oktober så påbörjas nu en del träningslandskamper med matcher 1 gång i månaden ungefär.
I egenskap av att förra gången det begav sig med VM så agerade jag landslagskapten (klart vi tog guld) , och att jag är den som anordnar turneringen samt ät admin på shockplay så tar jag på mig kaptensmössan och tar ut det officiella landslaget för Sverige.

Vi kommer att spela en landskamp mot England Fredagen den 9 Maj klockan 20:00.
Det kommer att fungera enligt följande:
5 spelare i vardera laget. Varje match kommer att spelas i bäst av 3 stycken
3-setsmatcher, så man måste alltså vinna 2 stycken 3-setare för att håva in 1 poäng till Sverige.
Mingle är kapten för England, dom har "hemmaplan" vilket innebär att dom har en liten fördel i form av att få välja först.
Jag kommer då informera honom om vem som startar för Sverige och han väljer då en spelare i England som motstånd.
I den andra matchen tar han ut en spelare och jag väljer motståndet osv..

COMING ON ENGLISH UNDER THE DAY, A COPY OFF DACAS SIDE

Det land som först har vunnit 3 matcher har därmed också vunnit landskampen, men vi kommer att spela alla 5 matcherna iallafall..

Det svenska landslaget är till viss del uttaget, det återstår 2 platser.
Ingen spelare har en fast plats utan det kan komma att ändras hela tiden, det beror på vilken form man har, hur aktiv man är, hur man presterar i landslaget osv.
6 man tas ut till landslaget, 5 ordinarie samt 1 reserv.
Dom 4 spelarna som är uttagna och klara just nu äro:
Puffe
Zimond
Godisguden
Hektor

1 plats finns det att spela om, den spelare som under nästa vecka placerar sig bäst i elitserien (under de redan uttagna) kommer att få en plats direkt i laget. Sista platsen väntar jag med till senast nästa Fredag den 2 Maj.

Jag kommer efter varje landskamp att presentera resultaten här i bloggen, där jag även kommer att föra in alla stats som spelarna har i landslaget.

Då och då kommer jag att sätta upp en turnering där alla som står med ena foten i landslaget får göra om upp om 1 ibland 2 platser. Där får en del chansen att ta sig in medan en del får försöka slå sig kvar i laget.

Mingle kommer att ta ut ett 5 man starkt lag för England och det kommer jag att presentera här så fort det är klart.

Att vi svenskar i dagsläget är en mkt stark nation i couronne råder det inget tvivel om, detta gör vi för att sätta lite extra krydda på spelet samt att vi som inte var några bolltrollare, tennismästare lr hockeyproffs kan nu istället få chansen att spela i dom svenska färgerna på annat sätt i en annan "sport" :)

Hoppas detta kan inspirera alla spelare till att bli bättre och kanske i framtiden få en plats i detta landslag och få slåss för vår heder och vår status som världsettor i lagsammanhang =)

På återhörande // DaCa

-Post cenam non stare sed mille passus meare-

International contest Sweden-England
SHOCKPLAY.SE

It is worldchampionship in couronne.  Who begin end off sept begining oktober.

So should i think both team captains plan for some trainings games. 

With begining Sweden-England 9 off maj  started 8.00 pm.

The 2 captains Daca and Mingle take out there theames.

It gone works like that!

5 Players in each teame, every games been played 3 times with 3 set each.
So every player have to win 2 games for to take 1 point to the teame.

England plays "home" so Sweden choisee player first then England decided who they wants to play.
First to 3 points wins, but all 5 games gone bee played.

Daca gone write the resultat in his blogg after every International contest.
And Marru and mee on english here.

I hope that this could inspire all players to bee better and maybee concurent abaout a place in the team.

Gl all we bee in touch//Daca

With me here today on "Spotlight" I have Rocketman
Rocketman is one of the creators of shockplay. Probably the brains behind it ;)
 

Whats your real name?

Per Ekstig


How old are you Per?

39
 

Ok Per. We also have to start with asking you about your civil status, I mean for all
the luck seekers out there? :)


I have a girlfriend.


Sorry everyone :)
 
Ok, if we try starting from the beginning here.
First, how did you come up with the idea to create shockplay, and when was this?


In the year 2000 I founded my company, Raketspel, together with two partners:
 Johan "Hammarn" Höglund and Oskar "Pixel Pusher" Andersson. Our objective was to
create fun web games, and also make more traditional CD-ROM based multimedia.

In 2001, I got the idea to make a Table Tennis game. It was just a small singleplayer
game, but almost everyone that tried it was hooked, and it spread widely on the web.
We decided to build a Community around this game, and added more games.
In December 2001 we launched Shockplay 1.0. It was a gaming site with 7 singleplayer
games, and it was free of charge.


 
At first shockplay was a singleplayer version only with table tennis, what made you
decide to make a multiplayer version?


We got hundreds of requests to make the Table Tennis game multiplayer, and this was a
tough challenge for us, and to cover the development costs and the server costs, we
made Shockplay to a pay-to-play site, and we also added more features, like buddy list,
PM, more multiplayer games: Couronne, Backgammon, etc.
 
 
How about an economical question? :)
Is shockplay the big source of income or is it programming for others or what is
that you make a living on?

 
The truth is that Shockplay stands for less than 10% of our income. We build a lot of
other games to make a living. But, since Shockplay is our own community, and since
there are so many active players that help us run the community, we feel that it has
great potential, and we want to improve Shockplay in every way we can.


Do you need another job on the side of this?
 
Yes, we have lots of clients, and the problem is that we find it difficult to get the
time to work with Shockplay as much as we would like.


So is your "rear end" (could be children accessing this sight) glued to the office
chair or does this job mean you are sitting at the coffee table being lazy all day? =D


Personally, I love my job, and I cant wait to get to the office every morning when I
wake up.


Yeye that didn't really answer the question did it :D


Can you tell us a bit about what it is you really do? Think many people
might be interested in knowing!

I am a programmer. This means that I write the logic in the games. I use Adobe Director
Shockwave Studio and Java to create the games. Often I build a small prototype without
any fancy graphics, just to see if the game idea is enough fun.



Is shockplay your work or does raketspel mean that you have
other obligations as well?


Well, we today Raketspel have 7 employees. We have several other projects, but one of
our goals is to make Shockplay bigger than it is today, but it will take time and money
to improve Shockplay with more games and features, and in order to afford this development,
we build and sell other games for other clients.
 
Enough about work it's boring :)
Lets talk about the people inside the great world of multiplayer games.


ok, shoot!


Who was the first ever member at shockplay?


Magnus "Mc Mongo" was the first member. But he is one of the guys working at Raketspel,
actually he is the one that made the database with all the users, so of course he took
the no.1 spot in the database.


The "oldest" member who is still a member at Shockplay is tommylu, the "shanghai pro"
He became member 2002-11-04
And then comes: Thorleifa, Sara, Surfin, Haney, andreas.carlsson, Samson, Kru, goran34,
Dubbel-H


 
How did you get people to join shockplay from the start?


We have done very little marketing, a few tests with affiliate networks that did not
work so well, but,, a few players found it, and then it was spread "word of mouth".


 
How many active members are there as of today? And are double accounts counted for? :P


Around 1000 accounts are active today.


 
About the double accounts, is that a problem that you try to keep track of or don't you
see it as a problem?


Sometimes it can be a problem. We do not allow 2 players that use the same IP to play
in the same group in the league.
 

Ok this is getting too serious hehe
Lets see whom your favourite member(s) is/are? ;)


oh, I have so many good friends there...let's see...torkelsnorkel, Joe Killer, Chris,
Vicky, Redhead, Mayhem.
 

I have a question I have been wondering about, maybe there are more who did.
You are Rocketman, but then there is Rocketkid, Rocketgirl, and RocketDJ. And these are
people that have had more or less responsobility on shockplay. Who are they? And did they
choose names themselves or did you give them those names?


We created the users Rocketkid and RocketGirl with some special features for recruiting
new members.
A member (chris) who is a DJ used to send a shockplay web radio, and that is why he got
this user, RocketDJ.
 

Alright here is a nutcracker for you, someone needs to sort this out and be honest about
this. Who is really the best female player on shock all times, in your opinion?


Oh, I think Katjziska is the best female couronne player, and Wickey27 is the best
"female" tabletennis player.
In backgammon there are several good female players.


Eh what the heck, male aswell, who is the best?


I'd say Hektor.
But once in a time, it was me! Before we launched Shockplay 2.0 with couronne,
I bug-tested the game a lot, and when we launched it in december 2002, I was the best
player :) I even felt bad dominating the game that newcomers tried to so hard to master...
I even played with my left hand just to give them a chance to win a set once in a while...
It took 2 months before a member got good enough to beat me. But soon after that I have
fell way behind the top players.


Alright, there we had som bragging aswell :)


About the couronne game!
In my opinion: Müller was very close to perfection when it came to the tactical game
in league and I'd say that GodisGuden, Zimond and maybe Hektor are two steps infront of
others when it comes to "skillplaying" sweeping and finding ways to like I call it
"refurnish", do you think we are getting close to the end when it comes to
the development in the game, has the top skill level been reached?


I have constantly been amazed of the new discoveries that members have come up with, e.g.
the different kind of trick shots. And back in 2003 there was a fight between those that
did not accept pushing, and those that did. There was a group that called themself NCP
(no chicken play) that swore to never play chicken (no pushing) and then the opposite
group, CPFL (Chicken-play for life) that used pushing as much as possible. I was myself
a member of NCP. And there was a lot of speculation if NCP was doomed to fail. Later,
players like inqy and Hektor proved that it is possible to play offensive and handle most
pushers quite well. So the game has evolved and is still evolving, but in smaller steps.
So I do not think the "top skill level" has been reached, although I have no idea how
the skill level can become even better.



There are glitches in couronne, for example, rings get stuck on eachother once in a while
and the yellow goes in the hole if you put it o close, even though you hit it forward
(I call it reverse physics ^^) is this something that will be looked at?


Yes, actually I spent a week trying to fix this glitch, and I managed to fix it, but,
as a side effect, the physics of the game was a little bit different, so that is why I
never launch that version. Lots of players would complain, even though I just change a
microscopic detail of the physics.
 

Ok I think questions about the game are gonna show up again real soon.
Reason for this is that, (as probaly everyone knows by now) a new version of shockplay
is to come in the near future, isn't that right?


Yes, we are working on Shockplay 3.0.
 


Can you please tell us all something about the new version that we don't know?


Sorry. we want the new features Shockplay 3.0 to be a surprise.
 


What is the purpose of this update? What do you want to achieve with it?


Several reasons:
- Today we have the resources we need to update shockplay.
- We want to do some marketing to try to get more players to join Shockplay, but before
we do that, we need to update our servers and software so we can handle more players.
- Lots of players want to help us administrating leagues, tournaments, and stuff, but
we lack the admin functions for them to do so.
- When we built Shockplay, many players had slow modem connections. Nowadays almost
eveyone has cable modem or better. So we have now better possibilities to make better
features and games.
- The current version is a bit old fashioned. We want to update the user interface
the code behind it too.


 
Ok enough about that, we will be back with more questions when the actual update is done.
But when can we count on that the update will be finished and made?


We have not gone public with the date yet.
 

Up for some personal questions :) ?
 
Starting with a shockplay question haha.
What do you like best about being a member at shockplay?


Getting friends from all around the world. And I love to play chess.
 

What do you do in your spare time?

At the moment i'm trying my best to get in a good shape for a bicycle race (vätternrundan).
I'm also like to practise juggling with clubs, balls and tourches.
 

Ok, that ought to be interesting if we will have a "shockplayparty" in the future.
We have entertainment folks :)


What would you do if you won a lot of money?


I would invest it in my company, and make it possible for us to work 10 months with only
shockplay and nothing else. But, I doubt I will win that kind of money, because I never
play on any lottery. I calculate the probability to win, and the odds are seldom to my
advantage :P


 
Or maybe you have loads of money ? :D Thanks to Shockplay :P


Unfortunately that is not the case.


 
Whats your favourite song, and group?


Rocketman by Red Elvises :)
You can listen to it here: http://redelvises.net/mp3/roketman.mp3


Awesome, thank you for sharing the song, might that be a reason for his shockplay nick? ;)


 A general question about shockplay.
There are a few couples that has met here am I right?

 

Which once do you know of?


Yes, it is wonderful that couples have met here. Im afraid I might be wrong about this,
but I think these players met through shockplay: Petrify and Marru, Katjziska and
Mr Daydreamer,  and Goodman1967 met someone, i forgot her name.


Thats 1 of 3, good work ^^

Was Katjziska that made friends with Petrify, and then one thing lead to another =) However, Marru and Petrify are no longer together.
And I give you a wrong answer for not knowing the name of the one Goodman met.



Maybe you can see shockplay as a matchmaking site :)?


That's a cool side-effect. I see Shockplay as a friendly community where you have fun
and meet lots of new friends. That some players meet their love of their life is a bonus :)
 

How about a trick one?
If a rooster sits high up in a tree facing the east, and then the rooster lays an egg.
Which direction will the egg drop?


Well that ought to be....... roosters don't lay eggs :)


Oh darn, you were not as easely fooled as woodchip :P


Ok last but not least, what is your shoe size?

43
 


Thank you very much Per for taking the time to answer these questions.
And it is not Pers fault that this program is delayed.
Coveridge from the local rugby championships is the reason.
Nothing we could do about it, I know it sucks!
We did try to pay them off though.
(no, my fault :/)

See you next week on "Spotlight" :D

Give away games or pure manipulation?!

Hey!

Here comes Dacas latest text from his blog translated into english!

Hope its translated well enough for ya ;)

//Marru



Give away games or pure manipulation?!

One of the subjects I get to deal much with as admin in the league is these games that are given away for different reasons.  In the beginning of the week the problem rarely shows up, its in the end of the week it does.

Therefore and for just that reason I am sure there in certain spread manipulation happens in the league.

It has of course happen on and off in periods since the league started for at the most 4 years ago.

Have also noticed the higher up in the league system you get more "give away games" are found.

This problem was tremendous for about 2 years ago when matches was given away a lot.

Now it is quite unusual, luckily (as I see it).


Some examples on what I mean:

Eliteweek, Thursday night, 2 persons got chance on the gold and all games except one are played.  One of the players wins gold if he wins the game, the other dont have anything to play for. There the bidding starts. If the 2 players are buddies the risk is overwhelming that a given game will happen "manipulation".


The same concerns if it is lowering for someone and it is the last game for that league week and 2 buddies plays- a given game happens, not always of course but this situation often  shows up.


If some player already decided to resign the league and doesnt play for lets say 3 days.. And then plays 3-4 games against buddies in the league and after that leave the league.

Daca goes in and resets the 4 games and its a total fuzz about it.

I can just as well say that I always reset all games in a division there someone resigned before Thursday morning. If the resign is done during Thursday or Friday I consider the situation...

If someone resign and regrets it , its faar away from sure that the person can get back to the league at the same place again, it really requires a solid explanation for that.

I 8 cases of 10 my answer is no..

If some old player wants to get back to the league after a long break and directly put in the higher division my answer in 10 cases of 10 is no. Everyone has to start from the beginning again..


Back to "the give away game subject"..

I consider that if you give away a game in a league/tour you are with to cause a obvious manipulation, thats just what a given game is all about. And with manipulate a league means that you affect a leagues outcome.

I dont write this to ?hang out' any players, you just got to ransack yourself and your sportmanship.


However , I will from now on I will be harsh in this matter.

Its hard to prove a obvious case of manipulation, but in some cases no direct proof is needed, it can speak for itself.. In addition if several of spectators see what is happening.. Or if the spectator function is shut off so no one can see the game, and suddenly, the game ended just in the way it was forced to end so a given game would get its proper function... Someone maybe got higher up in the league or avoided to drop down in the league.


From now on I will as admin deal with all the reports and look over them. If I consider it was a manipulation I will warn the concerned players (you are always at least 2 about it)... It can be seen as a yellow card if we compare with football...

If it happens again I will give out a red card and that player will exactly like in football,  be banished.


Then I will exclude that player from future league/tours for a longer time.. Minimum for 3 months depending on how broad it was and how many players were negatively affected by it.


To sum up it have to be a end to that we have a league which have to settle on given games/buddiegames/manipulation/someone refuses to play/take advantages with plus and so on...


So all affected and also you others.. Play fair and be a good sportsman/woman, it will pay of in the long run and we all get a nicer climate in the league and the most important of all, it will be settled in the right way!!

04-15 Dacas blogg

Som enbart kommer handla om shock,  vi lägger en länk till sidan.

Hej alla glada bloggare/läsare..
Jag tänkte att jag skulle skriva lite ner lite egna tankar jag haft under åren om shockplay.
Jag började spela couronne för 6 år sen och vart biten direkt!
Tävlingsmänniska som jag är så gick jag med i ligan och slog mig fram och upp i ligasystemet för att till slut tillhöra elitserien. På den tiden härskade Hektor ligan fullständigt, han var som en "couronnegud" för alla medlemmar. Han missade aldrig ett slag, hette det.
 
Det tog många elitserieveckor innan jag kunde räkna in mitt första guld till samlingen, en samling som numera har växt till 7 guld på 35 veckor i eliten. Men nu var det ju inte det jag skulle snacka om :)
 
Sweeps, har ju vart en ständig fråga,samtalsämne,orosmoment på shockplay. Vilka "sweepfuskar" eller inte?! Jag har spelat för sweeps förr om åren precis som så många andra har gjort, men jag menar bestämt att alla gör det av olika anledningar. Det finns dom som bara vill ha så mycket sweeps som möjligt för att glänsa sina stats, det finns dom som vill "träna på olika upplägg" som det så fint kallas, och så finns det den kategori som jag själv en gång i tiden tillhörde nämligen, dom som har tröttnat lite på lunken och vill ha en utmaning i spelet, att sweepa!, som inte bryr sig om stats eller annat.
Jaja, nog om det.
 
För ca 3 år sen var det många som hade tröttnat på couronne och dom gamla "stjärnorna" hade dragit sig tillbaka så kände tävlingsmänniskan DaCa sig tvungen att hitta på något som kunde ge gnistan tillbaka för så många som möjligt. Jag skulle helt enkelt arrangera VM i couronne både för 5-mannalag samt individuellt.
Vi började med lag-VM. jag valde ut 11 stycken spelare från 11 länder som fick representera lagkapten för respektive land. Dom fick till uppgift att ta ut det starkaste 5 mannalaget som gick.
2 veckor senare var allt klart och lottat. 11 länder på startlinjen som skulle kämpa mot varandra mot den stora finalen.
Jag skrev ut information om vilka matcher som pågick just då, i couronnenews. Vi hade en hemsida där alla resultat gick att finna. Efter många långa och hårda matcher så var det klart för VM-final mellan Sverige och England.
Varje match spelades i bäst över 3 stycken 3 setsmatcher. Sverige vann finalen med 4-1 i matcher.
 
Direkt efter finalen var klar så inleddes arbetet med det individuella VM där alla som ville fick anmäla sig.
230 personer kom till start. Det delades upp på ungefär samma sätt som masters.
VM-finalen spelades mellan matrix power och dunderolga där matrix vann en tät final med 4-3 i set. Publiksiffran skrevs till 35 personer.
Matrix power som för övrigt enligt mig är en av tidernas bästa spelare. Jag kan ju passa på att skriva ner min egna top 10 som har vart ett populärt inslag att göra i många olika forum =)
Jag struntar i att ranka mig själv eftersom jag hade bara satt mig själv som nummer ett, hehe :)
1. Müller, Den klart bästa allround spelaren..
2. Hektor , Ingen annan ligger till grund för så många olika stötar som han gör.
3. Godisguden , Sweepsens mästare, kan vara shockplays trevligaste medlem.
4. Matrix power , Stor i truten,  men han har fog för det ibland =)
5. Mbuto , Han kom, han var överlägsen, han segrade, han försvann, vem var han egentligen??
6. Puffe , Mycket allround OCH anledningen till att jag spelar couronne :)
7. Cyclone  , Lite seg spelstil men väldigt taktisk.
8. The Wolf , Också en rejäl grundare till många olika stötar.
9. Cronos , Ren skills i naturligaste form.
10.Sese , En blandning mellan godisguden och hektor (kanske för att dom lärt upp han, hehe)
 
Det var min genom tiderna top 10 lista, en elit mellan dom skulle vara mycket intressant.
Som ni kanske märkte finns knappt ingen av dagens spelare med och det beror till viss del att spelet har nått sin gräns i vissa avseenden.
Jag kan dra en jämförelse med boxningens historia, förr i tiden gick alla matcher utan handskar och dom "riktiga" hjältarna slogs för sitt land, sitt hjärta. Numera går matcherna med rejäla handskar som skydd, inget fel med det men enligt den gamla skolan ses dagens mästare inte som hjältar på samma sätt som förr..
Hur ska jag nu föra över detta till couronnen?, Jo..
Numera finns det alldeles för många märken runt couronne som nästan alla har lärt sig. Så att deffa eller spela taktiskt blir svårare, vilket innebär att taktiken egentligen uteblir, alla kan ta deffarna klockrent.
Så var det inte förr i tiden, då fanns inte märken som det nu, matcherna var mer "skillade" mer taktiska på ett vettigt sätt. Inget ont om dagens toppspelare, ni är grymma allihop MEN jag minns hellre couronnen som den en gång i tiden var.
 
Till version 3 har jag flera gånger snackat med rocketman hur vi ska ta bort alla märken som finns i couronne, allt för att få tillbaka den riktiga skillen.. Om du spelar biljar irl och har en svår stöt att göra, då blir det svårt att göra den stöten endast med hjälp av ett märke i bordskanten ELLER?! =)
 
Nu drar jag tillbaka klockan ca 3 år igen, då jag startade clubcouronne, en svensk liga med 4 divisioner där vi fick fram en officiell rankinglista på alla svenska spelare. 120 personer var med och spelade och clubcouronne blev ett populärt inslag. Ni som var med på den tiden kanske kan dra er till minnes? =)
 
Jag fick mitt första barn för 2.5 år sedan vilket innebar att min tid inte räckte till för varken clubcouronne eller shockplay så jag la couronnepinnen på hyllan och cc gick i graven, dock med flaggan i topp.. Vi hade lyft couronne ytterligare ett snäpp med 2 VM och en skitbra liga!!
 
För 2 år sen så satt jag och rocketman och talade om en del problem som fanns på shockplay och det ena ledde fram till det andra, jag blev admin för sidan med huvuduppgift att vara en sorts online support som man kunde vända sig till om man hade problem.
Efter hand blev jag dessutom admin för couronne och backgammonligan, gammonligan dock bara för några månader.
Ett ganska kul uppdrag men mycket mer jobb än vad som kan tyckas.
 
Ytterligare ett barn damp ner till DaCa´s familj och pinnen skulle upp på hyllan igen. Denna gång för evigt var tanken. Men efter ganska mycket påtryckningar och önskemål pga att shockplay hade blivit en enda stor röra(!) och mycket -tjat- :) från wolf så tog jag på mig rollen som admin igen, och det har var skitkul, verkligen.
 
Golden tour föddes för att få in lite spänning och mer tävling i spelet, jag vet ju själv att man tröttnar på monotoma ligamatcher/poängmatcher..
 
I höst så har förhoppningsvis version 3 släppts och beroende på exakt hur det kommer att se ut så kommer DaCa att anordna fler tävlingar. Närmast för couronne är iaf VM 2008 i höst.
 
Ni har tidigare i bloggen skrivit ner massor av förslag på vad ni vill ha infört på shockplay, jag har noterat ner alla förslag (som jag förövrigt tycker är skitbra) och dom ska jag ta upp med rocketman nästa gång jag styr kosan mot stockholm och raketspel.
 
Till sist vill jag passa på att tacka wolf och marru som har fått fart på denna blogg, vi behöver en sida som denna för att lufta våra tankar och idéer. Vi har även startat ett forum som ni gärna får regga er på, länk finns på shockplay.
 
Tack för ordet..//Jens..
 
Ps. Vem vinner golden?? Hmm??... Jag tror finalen kommer att stå mellan Zimond och Hektor.. Vem som drar det längsta strået där får framtiden utvisa men jag skulle nog satsa en slant på Hektor :)

Klumpen/The Lump

Klumpens sista tid på shock.
Klumpen tycker att han är mannen på shock och att då är det okej att leka king off the hill.
Kul grej är det för lilla  Klumpen att göra narr av folk,aaa fan typ hur kan du slå MIG, EGOT MIG Eller DEN han är ju BRA.


Men lilla Klumpen  man ska inte begära att alla förstår så svåra saker, Räcker att veta jag är king off the hill"LER"
Vad Klumpen inte hajar är att folk tycker det är konstigt och man reagerar på när han ger ut sina order om att lägg dig i den matchen nu så klarar han sig den eller den.


Empati så långt har Klumpen inte hunnit i skolboken..............
Så han tycker det är konstigt att nästan alla riktigt bra är trevliga och uppmuntrande...


Men det är kanon för lilla Klumpen, han slipper räkna får på på kvällarna.
Men det är bra så slipper lilla Klump att räkna får, det kan ju va riktigt jobbigt:) 51,52,53, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Klumpen laddar för nya äventyr och återkommer..


image21



The Lump's last time on shock.
The Lump thinks he's the man on shock and that its okey to play the king of the hill.
Its just a fun thing for little Lump to make fun of people, aaa damn like how can you beat ME, THE EGO ME or THAT ONE cause he is GOOD.


But little Lump, one cant ask that all understand so difficult things, Its enough to know that I am king of the hill *smiles*

What the Lump doesnt get is that people think its weird and react when he gives out his orders about to lay down in a game so the opponent makes it or another one.


Empathy, that faar hasnt the Lump get to read about in the schoolbooks........
So he thinks its weird that almost all good players are nice and encouraging...


But its great for the little Lump, he gets off counting sheeps at nights.
But its good så the little Lump gets off counting sheeps, it can be really tough :) 51,52,53, zzzzzzzzzzz
The Lump is loading for new adventures and returns...

Spotlight

Heyy!
Here comes a interview with one of Shockplays many members. Hopefully there will be more.
The interview is made of Mr Daydreamer.


Here is todays contribution of "Spotlight"!

Enjoy / Marru and Mats


image17

With me here today on "Spotlight" I have woodchip

Lets not hold on it, here comes the first question.


Whats your real name?
My name is Scott


Ok Scott, where do you live and with whom?

I live with my mum, dad and brother in Brisbane Australia


How old are you?
28 going on 29


Whats your favourite song, and group?
My favourite song is Fade to black by Metallica


You are as me one of the early members at shockplay, right?

Yes, I'v been member since august 2003


Ok, not that early then ^^
How'd you discover shockplay?

Well it's a funny story, I used to go to the fights with this bloke
and he showed me a site, I played table tennis and putt putt I joined
to play table tennis but got challenged in couronne from Hallstorp I
think it was, then played good players at start
Jaya The Cat was my teacher. RIP


Who was this bloke? Was he a member at shockplay?

No he just played the free games I tried the 3 day trial and been a member since


What do you like best about being a member at shockplay?

The challenge to try and sweep but like backshots aswell I think if
they push I have an extra shot to win, and the friends I make


From what I have heard, you like to play good players only? If so, why?

Well I get bored easy so I like to challenge myself cause I know I can
beat anyone on my day


I believe you've been in division 1 as best, whats the best leaguematch
you ever played, and against who?

well me and Mr Dayderamer had known we would play in league so I waited up till
2am waiting for him and I was only 1 to beat him that week in league, and only 1
to beat him all the way to elite according to him.


Omg, he must have done a bad game then hehe, you guys still friends? :)

I was simply to good for him, and yes we are best mates!


Lets look ahead here for a minute Scott, whats you visions, your plans?

Plans in what?

On shockplay, at the game?
To reach 1000 sweeps

Ok, how long will it take for you to reach 1000 sweeps? Your thought.
6 months lol


About the league? Do you have any particular goals of achievement?

Making elite so i get to play the best players.


Who is the best player up to date in your opinion?

I think Zimond, he sinks mostly red on break and has good backshots, I find him
the hardest to beat.


Ok after Zimond, are you able to make a top 10? In a 1-10 order? Which
players you think are the best here at shockplay.

1 Zimond
2 Puffe
3 Mr Daydreamer
4 Katjziska
5 Muve
6 GodisGuden
7 andreasaswardh
8 Hektor
9 Cronos
10 Päron


There are a lot of different people on shockplay, there are bullies and there
are funny people, can you name 3 people you think are bullies an 3 that are
hilarious?

ok, bullies are
Gibsonboy
-x-
and me prolly lol
Mr D Katjziska and Cheese make me laugh


Just a thought, you like to play good players right, and you live in Australia
not easy to find someone to play in the evenings? How do you solve that?

I play from 430 am till about 10 till 11 depends on how many online and
play a little bit at night

Wow, how do you get up that early?
Go to sleep early lol

Haha patronize me please! What I meant was what makes you go up that early?
Cause theres usually 100 people online


Ok besides shockplay, what do you do for fun?

I bet on horses

What would you do if you won a lot of money?
Buy a lot of shit, or burn it hehe


Whom in you life do you look up to the most?
My mum

How so? If I may ask?
We been through thick and thin and she stood by me all this time

That sound very good.

Now time to brag, what are you best at?
Backshots with no marks

Whats your secret?
I dont have one its just feel

Thats what I'm talking about, brag brag man

Ok last but not least. Who will win elite gold next week?
And who will win the golden tour?
Zimond


I will demand 1 back up, who will win golden if Zimond does not?

Me


Ok just keep that cocky though! Thats the spirit :)

Oh now you change your mind eh?
Lats word from Scott / woodchip was nah Mr Daydreamer

That ought to be a scandal for some, and would surly be a big surprise,
but I would not mind :P

Thank you Scott for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

We will be back soon with more coverige from "Spotlight"

Producer: Mr Daydreamer


04-07 Some have to begin

Vet att många har så mycke ideer om vad som skulle va kul....
Fram med dem så Rocketman får se vad ni alla vill och tycker är kul...............

Ett spel som var rätt stort men håller på  att dö ut är ju Backgammon, vet det är många som vill spela men tycker att vanliga liga lunken suger...

En sak som jag tror skulle höja intresset igen är att ta efter Blips swiss turneringar.
Man beräknar att det ska ta 4 timmar, man har 10 minuter mellan matcherna annars blir det  wo, körs som utslagsturnering med tex 8 :tondelfinal osv, kan även köras som lag tävling, och tex en liten vinst med fri speltid.
Även lägga in så man kan gå in och se på BG matcher.


Samma ide kan även köras på couronne vore ju askul med en sån tävling med lag tex 4 -5 st i varje lag.
Rankar 1-5, respektive 1:or mot varandra osv, självklart från olika divisioner så inte de 5 bästa kommer i samma, skulle med höja stämningen och bli lite laganda och va kul  om det är 3-4 st i samma lag inne och hejar på...

Av de spel vi har idag skulle vi tycka Bowling skulle va kul i ligaspel.
Sen får vi se vad Rocketman har för nya spel.

En stämningshöjare till är ju när zimond kommer igång med radio sändning..


/Marru & Mats



We know that many of you have many ideas about what would be fun....
Bring them up so Rocketman can see what everyone of you want and like....

A game that was quite big but is dying out is Backgammon, know that it is many that wants to play it but thinks the regular league sucks...

One thing we think would bring the interest up again would be to do like Blip does with Swiss tournaments.
They reckon it takes 4 hours, you got 10 minutes in between the games otherwise it will be WO.
Its runned like a elimination tournament with for a example 8 players in quarterfinals and so on, it can also be runned like a team competition.
We believe on this and the winner might get a win with free playtime.
And to put in that people can go and watch BG games which would be so much fun.


This same idea can also be run with couronne which would be so much fun too! With teams for an example with 4-5 players in every team.
Rank the players from 1-5 , respective 1 (number ones) against each other and so on with the rest. Of course from different divisions so not the 5 best end up in the same team. This would increase the mood and be a little team spirit and would be fun with 3-4 från same team watching the games to cheer on..

Of the games we got today we think Bowling would be fun to play in leaguegames.
And later we will see what new games Rocketman has.

Another mood raise is when Zimond gets radio tranmission started.

Heey folks!

I'm here to help Wolfy out with his blog :)
I want to get discussions started in english too so sometimes there will be contributions in

english only -so you swedish ppl, only comments in english to those please :)


Are there anything special you want me and Wolfy to write about?
All doesnt have to be about the Golden tour, it can be about the different leagues, tour games,

point games.. favorite players.. yea there are much that can be said, we can write about

anything you want.. Oh well not anything, but almost.. we arent impossible ;)



I can start I would like to know why you play at shockplay, for fun or do you have anything you

want to achieve?
Like sweeps, get a elite gold in some league, points..or so on :)


I've always played couronne for fun but now when Golden started I've started to practice my

'league tactics' a bit more.
And it has payed off, in some games at least :)



And I joined backgammon league again after being away two (whole) weeks ^^ Got up from div 2

right away so now im going to fight with you guys in div 1 to get back to elite ;)

The reason I joined again is that my sis Kat is taking so many elite golds now and I need to try

to catch up to her level! So wish me good luck =D


Okay.. come on now, dont keep me (us) hanging :)
Anything u want to write or us to write about is good.

04-01 Golden runda 2

 Grupp 1.  Nja Zimond bör väl ro hem en 100 poängare till!
          Web,Dandare, och Puffe ska väl normalt va med och
          vara med och bråka därbakom om alla får spela
          tillräckligt mycket PUFFE!!! #S#

Grupp 2.  Falun derby? Nu kan ju inte båda ta sina 100 pinnar
          igen men gädda,smekarN,hannes,bör va topp 3.


Grupp 3.  En av de bästa grupperna Better, Kat, Mathe, Mularn,
          Scandal,Siddan. 6 St att bråka med, vore kul att se , Mularn börja lira lite mer igen då blev det riktigt               jämnt.        

Grupp 4.  Oj, svårtippad grupp un1k, TrancemasterY,Bananen,           SINGER. Nån av dem som tar hem  
                  omgången?

Grupp 5.  Bör va en given MR D vinst? 90%, Mayhem, Nippeh, Rocketman,Zly en wolf i form kanske kan 
                 ställa till det för nån?    


Grupp 6.  Proud, MrCarl,Bravery, är väl enda hoten mot orebronx.

Grupp 7.  Njaooo Päron,System, Daca, Bratten, Roughedge också
          en bra grupp, börjar väl i ärligheten namn de flesta, grupper att bli när antalet minskades.

Grupp 8.  Cronos är du uppe i gammal form? Då får de nog jaga dig! kokkinos, krossaren, Route66.

Grupp 9.  Masterhand payback time? Jimpan,andreas,Zeedie.krok,
          varför inte Marru? Många om budet.

 Grupp 10. Dentist och Godis nån som förmår skaka om dem tveksam.

                 Gl allihop fega inte nu skriv vad ni tycker om golden           ja rubbet er chans att bli hörda ordentligt och 
                  och att påverka saker.

              
               Wolfy 

Golden round 2


Group 1.

Nah, Zimond should take home another 100 points.

Web, Dandare and Puffe should normally be along and fight back in the line if everyone gets to play the same amount of games PUFFE *L*


Group 2.

Falun  Derby? You cant both take 100 points again but gäddan, smekarN and hannes should be top 3.


Group 3.

One of the best groups, Better, Kat, Mathe, Mularn, Scandal, Siddan to fight with, would be fun to see.

Mularn started to play a little more again and then it was really even.


Group 4.

Oh, hard group to forecast, un1k, TrancemasterY, Bananen, SINGER. Is it someone of them who takes home this round?


Group 5.

Should be a given win to Mr D? 90%, Mayhem, Nippeh, Rocketman, Zly , a Wolf in shape might mess it up for someone?


Group 6.

Proud, MrCarl, Bravery are surely the only threats against orebronx.


Group 7.

Hmm, Päron, System, Daca, Bratten, Roughedge, a good group too, well the most are becoming to be since the amount of players reduced.


Group 8.

Cronos are you up in old shape? Then they probably will need to chase you!

Kokkinos, krossaren, Route66


Group 9.

Masterhand payback time? Jimpan, andreas, Zeedie, Krok, why not marru? Many fighting about it.


Group 10.

Dentist and Godis, someone who should shake them up? Doubt it.



Gl everyone dont chicken out now, write anything you think about golden.

Yes everything about golden that comes up in your mind, this is your chance to get heard and affect things.


04-01 Golden:/

Synd med Golden:/
Men man får alltid försöka vara positiv  och tycka det är kul för er 12 som vann grupperna.
12 duktiga lirare som gör upp om golden trofen iaf.
Lycka till alla 12 !!!!
