Season 7 Signup Thread

[Ingmar]

The word I heard is the lore people at GW can't decide if they want to allow them or not For Real, so they're in limbo.

[proudft]

Yeah, I never played the game at the table but the roster looks interesting and I am a sucker for 'unusual' teams - I was sad they didn't get into Chaos Version.

[Sir T]

Question, do I have to buy the new edition or will the edition I have work?

[lamaros]

Edition you have will work.

[Sir T]

Ok thanks.

Still hmming about my team. The thought of having a full halfling team with all the trimmings at 1000 tv is attractive, but I know its probably better to go with the wood elves for elf bullshit.

[IainC]

If you go Halflings you don't want them to be 1000 TV, you want them to be 650 or so max. That way you are guaranteed to be fielding three treemen per match (your two plus the mercenary one) and probably Morg as well as a wizard and a chef.

Fire any Halflings who level up unless they get doubles or stat-ups. Just keep one with the Kick skill. Level 2 Halflings add the same TV as an Elf so they will bloat your roster massively.

[luckton]

Yeah, what IainC said.  'Flings aren't meant to be a powerhouse team.  Only settle for doubles, always ensure you can buy the Treeman Star Player and Halfling Chef, and never leave a 'fling in a tackle zone.

[Llyse]

Alive not Dead have applied 

[Falconeer]

f13 Ranking update coming in a few hours.

[eldaec]

If serious about halflings :

9x Halfling
2x Treeman
1x Reroll

Once your first match is set you can buy an extra halfling if you are playing a high TV team. You'll want to stick with 9 if paired against a 990tv or less side so you can still afford a chef and the tree star player.

You are basically playing as inducements so your TV has to stay below about 700.

You don't need an apothecary since you don't care about your players (maybe in a division of 1400+TV teams you can rethink this if you also have a level 3 treeman somehow). You don't need more than one reroll as you will always have the chef, again maybe you can take a second if your division is all high TV - but this season I think every division will start out with a couple of sub 1200 teams.

Stat ups : take Kick on one 'fling, and maybe you can justify Guard on a double, or +AGI. You should probably fire all other level 2 'flings, but if you get attached to one you could give him diving tackle or sidestep or something. On the Trees you can take break tackle I guess, or block on a double, fire any tree that doesn't have block by level 3 (HAHAHA your tree won't reach level 3). Don't take STR on 'flings (too expensive) or trees (wtf do you need STR 7 for?), don't take AGI or MV on a tree either.


Always buy a chef (100k), almost always buy Deeproot Strongbranch, most games you can also afford Morg or Zara.


Most of all, don't expect to win and play knowing that even a draw will be a mortifying embarrassment to whomever you are playing.

PS. Also, read the rules on throwing players.

[Ingmar]

PPS Don't play halflings. It is not going to make you hate the game less.

If I can go against the grain here for a minute, I really don't understand why you're playing again, SirT. It seems evident you've been miserable every season so far, I don't understand why you'd put yourself through it again.

[Falconeer]

Leave the grain alone!
Also, some people are artists and Misery is their muse. Sir T is really good at what he does.

And, the Ranking is updated.

Just not the thread? 

[Falconeer]

The thread too! (now)

[luckton]

The G6 Crew has officially applied to the Season 7 League. 

[Modern Angel]

Applied with Power Team Volcano

[rk47]

What's the deadline for the sign up?

[IainC]

What's the deadline for the sign up?

Sign up by Feb 10th so that I have time to do the seeding and pre-season video. That gives you till the weekend to get all your Feeder League farming done.

[rk47]

Perfect, flying off on 10th anyway.   

[Falconeer]

I confirm I'll be in Miami (  ) from 14th to 28th. Any "slight delay" on the start date would be appreciated.

[Celer]

I'm officially in with my high elves, last seen in the S5 failoffs.  I will try to get some feeder games in with my other teams so I remember how to play this game.

[HaemishM]

In with my vermin.

[z22]

I'd like to join if there is room.  I'm from Qt3 forums!   

[Sir T]

If you guys would like to let him in I can step out.

[lamaros]

Anyone who is playing goblins or underworld for the first time don't forget to check my guides above in the stickies!

[rk47]

The amount of bash in this league makes me feel regretful of taking AG3 team with middling AV n STR.
Ah well. Too late to switch to High Elf or Bashy.

[Megrim]

14 bash-ish teams (and that's if you include the Lizard players) I think, at a rough count. So about a 1/3, tipping slightly higher. Sounds about right if you take into account the bash/dash/mash break-up of teams in the game. It'll be curious to see how the whole thing pans out, what with all the new teams pouring in.

[Azira]

Is it too late to change my team? I would be exchanging the Norse for another race, but it would still be a brand new (unless I manage to get some feeder league matches going) team.
Only, in my first feeder league match I sustained two deaths (one was rerolled to -1MA for a blitzer) and two "misses next game", so I'm pretty gimped at the moment.
If it's not OK to switch races, I'll just re-purchase my Norse team as it was before the Massacre..

I think it'll be fine to switch teams up to the last minute as long as they meet the original requirements in the first post.

Your only problems is getting them into the Feeder league for those critical early games prior applying for Season 7.

So make more teams and apply for the Feeder League, gogogo! 

[lamaros]

Do you count underworld and goblins and chaos dwarves as bash? Because they all can be but aren't necessarily. Plus, like Norse, they also have a lot of fragile players too. So do lizards.

It's only when you're up against dwarves, chaos, etc without claw that you're really worried.

Atleast it wasn't the first game of the league season 

[Azira]

True dat. Well, now I've made an orc team instead. They should be less fragile, and while I'll probably still lose, I hope they survive better. I see the team has now been accepted into the feeder league. 

[Teleku]

Ok, my computer has arrived in Poland, and it somehow survived without having all the parts stolen or being shattered into little buts during transit.  Applied for the league with my trusty wood elves.

Since I'm a total newcomer and still quite hopeless at the game, I'm quite willing to cede my place in the tournament to more seasoned players, such as Teleku here. 

[Teleku]

Woops, I missed the post saying we hit the limit already.  While I only delayed applying this long because my PC was in transit for over 3 weeks, I really don't want to be a dick and knock somebody else out.
