The *Season #4* thread.

[Modern Angel]

Make it 36 people, that's it. #36 decides by the end of the day or it's a dummy team.

 Funnel extras over to More Eddie Season 2.

Unsure about structure. I'm assuming that 36 would work since it's divisible by 4.

[IainC]

God, I really shouldn't. Because I will be terrible. Can I have a week of practice before I decide? :P

The worst that can happen is that you play a few games of Bloodbowl against folks from F13 and maybe decide you don't like it after all. There were plenty of people in the last league who had never played before and most of them had fun.


Actually I guess the absolute worst that can happen is that your fragile psyche snaps from the crushing humiliation of seeing your only rank 2 player murdered by a cheeky 1 dice block from a Skink and you go on an amphetamine-fuelled rampage of blood and shotgun shells that ends up with you firing indiscriminately into a crowd while taking alternate swigs from a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 and a family-sized container of nail polish remover. That would be pretty bad I'd imagine.

[lamaros]

Can we just now make it 36 players? Open today, and then give the 36th the nest week and a bit to decide?

Because we don't have to have it closed and ready to go by tomorrow so Eldaec can sign up. We just have to have it open, right?

So fix on 36. Open signups. Everyone can get in and if it turns out we're still one short we can spend the next week harassing that person, get them in in time and be ready to go in may?

Or am I misunderstanding the process?

[Falconeer]

36 it is.

Or worse...from a failed GFI! That's how I lost my single player to injury last season, iirc. Broke his ankle on a GFI.

Someone needs to get Hartsman to ban Falcon from Rift

And Ingmar would be RIGHT THERE to take the brunt of it!  



Gawd, if I play, I have to think of a team name and everything. So stressful. :(

[Paelos]

God, I really shouldn't. Because I will be terrible. Can I have a week of practice before I decide? :P

Trust, me I've been playing for a week now, the game is no complicated. If you start a beginner campaign with humans, you will get the subtle parts of the game really fast.

[Sjofn]

The things I need more practice on are placement, order to do shit in, and thinking faster. Easy, rite?

[HaemishM]

God, I really shouldn't. Because I will be terrible. Can I have a week of practice before I decide? :P

Sucking is no excuse. I didn't score a touchdown until my 5th game I think and didn't win until my last game of the season. Sucking is part of the Blood Bowl fun. *YMMV*

[Kalle]

I'm sorry to say that I'll have to withdraw my application. I have other commitments that are eating up my time and I've come to the conclusion that I just can't do another blood bowl league as well. Maybe I'll come back for season five. Hope this doesn't cause any problems

[Falconeer]

So basically we have 32 for sure, 33 with Helm... 34 with Kail (who was unsure, so we could write him off. BUT, if we incllude him.... he could bail) and 35 with Sjofn. Terrible numbers.

And I have to create a League structure within a few hours so Eldaec can join before he leaves.

Damn.

[Paelos]

Just kick out the last man to sign up, or the worst team overall.

Or kick out the ringer who won last year. He got his already! 

[HaemishM]

Why you hating on my elves? 

[Falconeer]

Last man to sign up is Helm. That would suck, though.  

[Sky]

My own feelings aside, I think that f13 members should get preference over outsiders, especially those who don't really participate in the site.

[eldaec]

And to add to that, as far as I'm concerned, Helm signed up with his mysterious "chaos will reign" post during S3. So he was first not last.

[eldaec]

In other news, Falconeer check your pms, also any format that doesn't include Sjofn is wrong.

[Strazos]

Just tell me where to sign up and when, please.

[Sjofn]

In other news, Falconeer check your pms, also any format that doesn't include Sjofn is wrong.

Aw, you're a peach. Who knew people wanted to faceroll to victory against me so bad? 

[dusematic]

Ok, I'm in if you still need another guy.  Let me know.  I didn't want to be the one asswipe who sucked balls and that people yelled at for being a newb. 

[Strazos]

If anything, people love newbs because they look like easy points.

Just being honest. But perhaps more to the truth, it means more people playing, which is always good.

[HaemishM]

As much of a bag of douche f13ers are on the boards, we tend to be pretty fun to game with. Very few of us would yell at someone for being a n00b. Those in the BB league have been apt to give you advice than call you a n00b.

[Sky]

I yell at myself for being a newb. Hell, my only injury last season was because I mis-clicked an apothecary roll.

[Ironwood]

I'm going to be totally easy points.  I just lost 3 of my best Skaven to Ogres, for fucks sake.

Ogres.

Pretty much this.

It's always better to play people in f13 because everyone who's played in earlier season's would give you tips after if not during.

Ogres.

You let tehm OGRES BLOCK AGAINST YOUR RATS ? 

 

 

[Kail]

So basically we have 32 for sure, 33 with Helm... 34 with Kail (who was unsure, so we could write him off. BUT, if we incllude him.... he could bail) and 35 with Sjofn.

I'm still here if you need me to fill a hole to make the league work, but I'd rather not take a slot away from a real player.
