Burrowing Beetles is victorious 1-0 over North by Northwest.
Inducements for the Beetles were plentiful: 2 free skeletons, a mercenary Thro-Ra, a star player (the mummy who is not Ramtut, N-something, and he got knocked out for the entire second half, boo), and an Igor.
First half the Beetles kicked, and they eventually knocked the ball loose and scored late in the half. This was a good sign, since they were receiving in the second half, so the stars were aligned for a 2-0 or 2-1 victory.
The highlights of the second half included a Beetle offense best described as... glacial. The ball would often only move 1 or 2 squares per turn, right up the center of the field. There were many scuffles. The Blitz Ra got his shoulder broken at some point, not sure who else got injured. Also I didn't get an Igor prompt on this, so not sure if he regenerated or what.
Actually, the real highlight of the second half was two Tomb Guardians picking up the ball at different times despite their Agility 1. As the Beetles slowly made their way into the Norse half of the field, there was a glimmer of hope for the Norse as the ball was knocked loose and careened back over the half and towards the sideline, right next to a werewolf . Sadly, the werewolf was pretty lonely out there and he got surrounded and knocked down, and with two turns left, careful square counting revealed there was no way for the Beetles to score with the time remaining so they just hunkered down and held onto the ball for the rest of the game.
I think I successfully submitted the replay to the BBLeague thingie.
Edit: Aha, study of the game log in BBLeague reveals that my Blitz-Ra did make his regeneration roll, huzzah. It also shows that one of the Norse werewolves took a -1 Str injury. Yowch!

Ice Cream Emperor and I got half way through our game tonight until it crashed. From the get go it was a pretty brutal game both of us sending 2 people off unconscious within the first 4-5 turns. From there it only got worse. He says I was brutalizing him, but I'd say it was fairly even.
We'll see how Day 2 of our Day 2 game goes.

Sooo, they moved the blood bowl stuff into the old Metaplace graveyard forum?
I'm still trying to figure out why the mods/schild seem to hate blood bowl so much, haha.

He says I was brutalizing him, but I'd say it was fairly even. We'll see how Day 2 of our Day 2 game goes. Well it's a little fuzzy by now but at the very least you had managed to injure one my werewolves, scoring a sweet -1 STR -- you were definitely up a few other KOs going into the second half, but I definitely still had a chance. However, given my play and general level of mental fitness at the time, I must admit to at least some relief mixed in with the frustration of the crash. Of course I am confident Nuffle has spared my werewolf this long only so that he can be 'forcibly retired' even harder tomorrow.

Wait there has been a game crush?
I can reset the game so you can play again, but ONLY if you two both agree that it requires a rematch. We are all gentleman, gentlewoman and gentlequeers here but in induced crash to have the game replayed would be shitty.
So if I got a word from both NiX and Ice Cream asking for a rematch, I'll not reset it and you can replay. Otherwise, if one disagrees, as in other League, result should stand. Let me know as soon as possible.
And SUBFORUM?! OH MY!
P.S: Does it mean Raph is gonna be in Season #4?

Let me know as soon as possible. Well the result in question was 0-0 at the half -- it crashed during a touchback on the kick-off. I'm not sure the game actually registered anywhere (it's not in my match records online, etc.) so I'm not sure how that would work. I'll defer to Nix if he wants to keep the result (since I had the only injury(ies), and therefore he had the only SPP) but based on our conversation afterwards the plan is to replay it tomorrow (Friday.) If this needs any kind of manual resetting, please do.

The game shows as unplayed in the League Manager menu, so there's no score I can validate. Seems like you will have to play again. I can only asume it has been a server crash at this point. I am sorry for your wasted time, and for NiX ghost SPPs. Let me know how it goes.

Funny thing is last time I checked Schild loved Blood Bowl, he wanted so much to participate in S#1 and S#2 but didn't have money for the game, and Trippy even got a copy but never showed interest in the League. No idea why they were against a subforum. Anyway, we now have a subforum and I personally want to thank whoever made it happen. Be it NiX, Schild, Trippy or the fucking tooth fairy. Let's now start a thousand new threads just to make a point.

Touchdowns Scored
Rebourne's Wrestlers 0 - 4 Silver Horde
Casualties Inflicted
Reboure's Wrestlers 4 - 5 Silver Horde
Match was dominated by the Injury dice, and turned into a win for Silver Horde from the subs bench.
The first half Silver Horde kick off, and the Wresters cage up, but only with snotlings as the Ogres are stuck on the LoS, Horde blitz the ball and take it relatively easily. The Horde are quickly able to cage near the goalline, and Rebourne Wrestler's can't reach the cage because his Ogres can't get mobile. Meanwhile snotlings and linemen were steadily trickling into the injury box. Silver Horde score on turn 7. The Wrestlers get one turn to beat up the horde LoS, but The Undertaker rolls skull and skull/pow on 6 block dice, injuring himself to end the half.
Going into the second half Horde lean on the subs bench to get up to 10 players on the pitch, but the Wrestlers only have a single spare snotling, taking them to 3 Ogres. Morg, and 3 Snotlings. Horde are able to use numbers to outflank the Wrestlers, and Immortal Jenkins runs in second TD, with Detritus the Yhetee taking out The Big Show in the Process. The Wrestlers only field 2 Ogres, Morg, and 1 Snotling for the final two drives, which also lead to Horde TDs from Boy Willie and Nijel the Destroyer.

More like all of Gaf. Either way, you got your sub forum. It's not a nice new Lexus, but how can you complain about a barely used Honda that works just as well? Plus, this baby has like 5 miles on it. Falc - If you want to throw some of the basic info (BBManager!) into a thread I can sticky it.

I think it means we're putting crafting and player housing into BB. The BB infos and links thread should probably make it down here with a sticky.

Serious question : can the red names even see the graveyard?
I know they (used to?) get locked out of the den.
Could be a pita for Iain if not.

I can see the graveyard but not the den.
I guess my delicate sensibilities might be offended if I read something mean about a game I worked on or something.

I am shamed. The dead Krox was saved by an apoth and I did nothing else to be proud of for the entire game. A lackluster performance to be sure in a 1-1 tie versus the Lizards meaning Snoosnoo will sit unopposed at the top of Stormbringer at the end of the week two and we could as many as four teams just behind on four points depending on the results in the two remaining matches.
things started so well for me too! my krox beat the stuffing out of hoax's lineman and sent two out, then i boxed off the blitzers and black orcs and just danced around in his end zone dodging blocks merrily left and right. second half nuffle caught on, though, and i started tripping on GFIs and stunty dodges, and hoax's fans took out one of my sauruses and left me without enough cold bodies to stop the orcs from tying things up. buying an apoth after the first match was the best thing i've ever done for myself, ever.

I only made 20k the first game (with 10k in the vault). Kinda threw off my plan to pick up the doc before the second game. So lucky I drew the nancy boys and didn't need him. First thing I did yesterday when I got home, level up the lineman who had an amazing game and hire a doc.

Didn't it? Swore I moved it first. Link me to anything that didn't make it and I'll move it over.

So far I've mostly seen nubs taking star players, bribes, and rerolls when they play teams with higher TV. Has anyone busted out the chef yet?

Also, not a good season to be a Trois-Quart. Considering how fragile those motherfuckers are, calling them something that sounds like a dainty French pastry is perfectly appropriate.

Not exactly germane, but that's probably how Comstar beat me in the playoffs last season - had to make, I think, 5 KO rolls on turn 15. Fuck those chefs.

Hmm I am totally torn on what to spend my cash money on prior to next Gameday's matchup with ezrast's Lizards. I can afford to buy my second Flesh Golem (my original plan), but due to some very luck winnings rolls I could alternately buy not one but two Ghouls.
So speed and fragility vs. strength and durability. This is particularly difficult to decide because, of course, Lizard teams are both very fast (Skinks) and very strong (Sauruses). While I do already have some speedy werewolves, and have been noticing the lack of bashiness, I feel increasingly like Flesh Golems are only useful as punching bags; especially this early in development, where nobody on my team has Guard. It's nice to have something to put in the melee that can take (a lot of) hits, but it's hard to tell if another Golem is actually going to help me win games -- whereas it's obvious that a couple of scurrying, dodging, ball-carrying ghouls will definitely do that. Especially since it frees up my werewolves to go claw some Sauruses in the face.
Any thoughts from the gallery? I really don't know anything about how Lizards play, and what weaknesses if any they possess. If I buy a Ghoul I'll get a Golem next game and vice versa, so it really just comes down to what I want for the Lizard game.

I just put together a Goblin team and... I picked the wrong side for the league. Golly this is fun!
Also I'd get the Ghoul v Lizards.

You are optimist, young boy. Bad things can happen to your "consolidated" roster in 16 turns...
