S#5 - Game Day #4

[proudft]

Validated some more games, but there are a couple that aren't uploaded on BBManager so I am not gonna validate that yet. You know who you are. Fix the issue, please.

So... what was the problem with my and eldaec's game, then?  

I need mah moneys!

I see me & Celer up there too!   Rabble rabble rabble!

Feminists beat Ogre brutes chauvinists 3 - 0

Virginia Woolf levels up, achieves level 4 AND loses 1 point in STR.

Now, take a look at her. Believe it or not, I am tempted to keep her.

Awww, she's like a really slow GR, with bad armor and poor agility! Goblin who has only rolled doubles.

[Strazos]

Wish she was in my division.

[Sjofn]

For real, I want her on Comstar's team.

[Megrim]

Insatiable 0 - 1 Bleating


Failed to score at the end of the first half on a failed hand-off (with a rr to spare), and then choked the Lightning Bolt in the second to knock down the ball Goat.

Oh and 10k for winnings.

fffffff

[Ingmar]

Woo, I lost fan factor on the tie!

[lamaros]

Darn Megrim, that puts the cat among the pigeons.

[Megrim]

It is my pleasure to make things interesting for other people. If I was looking for consistent results, I wouldn't be playing Vampires.

[Strazos]

So then...who is left? Would be sweet to get 1 more game in Tonight or tomorrow before. I might be able to play Friday or Saturday, but I'll have to use a buddy's PC for that.

Cancklebiter vs Drogg

[HaemishM]

Did the skillups on my two players that leveled this last game. One is a linerat that will miss the next game, but he rolled double 4's. I was SO tempted to take Foul Appearance (the one that makes you roll a 2+ to block him) but took guard instead. I've just found that to be too useful for front line troops. My other level was a gutter runner who is now level 4 with block, jump up and wrestle.

Block and wrestle is an odd combo to get, especially in the first few skills. Sidestep is great with block, diving tackle is great with jump up, dauntless and strip ball and tackle are great with wrestle.

I like being able to choose wrestle (if I'm facing a guy who has block) or the choice to knock down someone without block. Plus with blodging, my chances of turnovers/knockdowns are really low.

EDIT: And holy shit, with Megrim's loss that means a 3 teams with 6 points in Cthulu, with my games against those 2 still to be played.

[avaia]

Yarr,  motherfucker!

[Falconeer]

And losing by Megrim in the next game will suck me back in that meatgrinder.

[HaemishM]

Yarr,  motherfucker!

Skitter, skitter, stab, bitchcakes!

[Strazos]

Looks like only Drogg and Cancklebiter left - any update on that match? I saw from an earlier posting that there were connection issues.

Would be super awesome to resolve that tonight, as I'm available on my own PC tomorrow evening (or even late tonight). May be able to use a friend's friday/saturday night, but no idea when...after that will be no-go for me. 

[Cancklebiter]

We're going to try again tonight.

[Strazos]

Not to be a nag, but...

Are we there yet?

[Reborne]

Does saying "bah" after rolling triple skulls versus a snotling count?

I had lots of fun in our match and that you remember this is 

I can't remember you complaining, whinging or otherwise, about anything in our match.

[Sjofn]

I believe I complained your +agi ogre was a bastard. 

That game was a fun one, even though my stupid wizard fizzled. NEVER FORGET.

[drogg]

i didn't see canckle online today    his situation is that he can only play on his work computer, so he can't install hamachi or try another network; he was going to try and use iain's computer but iain was out of town, i believe.  i'm still in the same black hole i was in against sir T.  apparently canckle was able to play sir T, though, so maybe i'm the odd one out?  i don't want to keep being the problem child here if i can at all help it..

edit: canckle and i have only tried the once.  maybe our second attempt will go better? i have friday, so maybe that'll collude with his wacky euro time zone.

[Strazos]

Sorry, I know I'm nagging. Not really anyone else's fault that I'm moving overseas to a place where internet at home is fairly rare.

I don't take insults to my team as complaining, more as validation that I've coached them into something memorable 

In other news, sorry to everyone for a lack of game write up, I played before going to work and haven't really spent time at home since.
With the release of Skyrim, there is a good chance that my girlfriend is going to be all over my computer for the next <insert time period>

No one is watching at work right now though so...

Wrestlers 0 - 3 Femenists

My memory is a little vague, I remember an odd lack of boneheads, like one every now and then rather than the crippling that happens a lot of the time.

There was a nice piece of Amazon bullshit where someone ducked in between 4 Ogres, picked up the ball then passed it down the field (while still between 4 Ogres and Sid failed to intercept :(  )

My Ogres are still not big on actually hurting their opponents, other than a few accidents which lead to the one downed girl who was almost killed by the apothacary and now is on show in this thread.

The really amazing thing for me was that I got inducements!
only 10,000 but it was still a shock.

I won 0gp from this game (+10,000 winnings, -10,000 due to high TV)

I remember thinking that the game was fun but mostly unremarkable.

Also, more people in my division need to learn the joy of chatting while you play :P

[lamaros]

We can chat away while you pound my rats to mush. I will be so garrulous you'll wish you never said that!

[Falconeer]

Sorry for not being chattier, Reborne. As I said I had someone in the room with me and she was patiently enduring my scheduled game while totally around for different reasons.

About the bullshit, the pass wasn't that weird, my thrower has 4 Agi and Nerves of Steel, meaning the marking didn't affect her throw. The pickup though, and entering the marked zone totally was, and that happened due to a double 6 (with Dodge), I am pretty sure, unless Nerves of Steel affect pickups too which I don't believe is the case. So yeah, still bullshit, but it was Turn 7 I think so it had to be tried.

I was supposed to be out of town but then I scrapped that plan so if you aren't able to connect on Friday then Cancklebiter can wander round here (I live about 500 metres from our office) and try.

[drogg]

thanks iain!  i'll take a break from skyrim to give it a shot whenever you guys have time.

No problems Falc, just the 3rd quiet match I've had in a row :)
I enjoy playing with everyone here and talking to people while you're play really does enhance the game.
I hope your friend was understanding.

I should have put "Amazon bullshit" in quotes as that is what you called it just after you scored :P

Lamaros, I look forward to it but I highly doubt you have much to worry about, my Ogres are all for show.
It's only on occasion that mistakes are made and the kill someone. 

[Strazos]

Still have a chance to get in a game Tonight or Tomorrow if we can advance the day. MAYBE Sunday as well, but that would require a bit of acrobatics.

Could also play Monday night, if I had a PC to use in NYC. 

[drogg]

second try worked, 2-1 HHB over the skeletons.  canckle's uploading the match now.

edit: to be more verbose, canckle took ramtut and proceeded to smack my line around like they were red headed stepchildren, including one point where he blitzed a lone skill-less skeleton into my kroxigor and stunned him.  my morale was fading quickly, but i managed to eke out an early score from some skink happy feet, though canckle scored and the end of my receiving half just to keep me anxious.  second half i started with a blitz on the amassed undead and managed to disorient his ballcarriers enough to let the ball get trapped in another scrum, which after a turn of great rolls on my half ended up giving me a clear break to the end zone with a saurus.  canckle tried to blitz at the last minute with a ghoul but diving tackle saved the day.
