All games must be played by June 15th - normally the turnaround will be 9 days but I'm extending this first day by administrative fiat.

----------------------------------------------------------

Leagues have been created in BBManager - F13 Season 6 and F13 Season 6 Redux, passwords for both are fearchange. The winner is responsible for uploading the result after the match. Matches will not be validated until they have been uploaded. If you are having problems with BBManager then let me know, I might be able to upload it for you as it mostly works for me. If a match isn't uploaded by the deadline then I will flip a coin and award a random team a 2-0 victory.

Let's do this!

Haemish, I'm off to LA on Sunday so it would be really helpful if we could play our game on Friday night or Saturday if possible. Otherwise it will have to wait until I get back the following Sunday.

Just ping me on Steam whenever Luckton.

Falc, I have heaps of uni to do over the next week, so sometime after the 6th would be best for me.

Looks like we have a double header for this weekend Megrim  :grin:

Swiftblade is going to out to be an AndyDavo sockpuppet account.

I'll keep steam up this weekend and hopefully a Eurofaggy time can be arranged.

Bah, I was hoping our match would be last so that at least I'd have a better chance of surviving the season :-P.  Ah well, at least we're getting it done now.  I'll try and get with you tonight or tomorrow.

At least you're less likely to lose players with a bunch of spps, Luckton!

Bann, I'm around pretty much every afternoon.  I can utterly destroy you at your leisure.

Let's try Friday then. I'm CST (GMT-6). When is good for you?

I'm GMT+1 and I'll be back from work around 9-10 my time I suspect. After that should be ok.

Who is Brocktoon?

Modern Angel.

6 hours difference (it's actually GMT-5 for me - damn, daylight savings time!). Best time I could appear on Friday night is around 8 pm my time (2 AM yours). Saturday I'm probably all booked up. Will you be up that late?

Maybe. I'll try but I'm putting in 16 hour days at the moment so I'm not promising anything.

Ugh, I have 3 rat games IN A ROW after Luckton. Stupid random calendar.

Ya, we can do both at once. I'm thinking your Sat morning, my Sat evening might be the best way.

Lamaros, after the 6th is OK. I hope it won't be too bad to manage our timezone differences. Maybe the weekend would be good, although taking time away from the GW2 beta will cost me  :oh_i_see:

Message sent to Sir T, but it is first thing in the morning here (for me) so if it isn't received... just pretend I sent one and reply with details!  :awesome_for_real:

I won't be able to play for another 3-4 days, and maybe not then. I might miss the starting round. Depends on the amount of free wifi in Washington

Teleku!

It's been such a long time since I got an opportunity to play you in the Season's opening...  :awesome_for_real:

I think Friday night your time (Saturday morning my time), otherwise Satuday morning your time (Saturday night my time) is good.

I'm GMT +9 as usual. See you on steam!

Friday might be better, I need to play a non-important match to get grounded again, I haven't played in months.

I shall be endeavor to be on Steam whenever I am at the computer, so try to beep me when you can.

hit me up whenever avaia! i should be around most of this weekend; i'm PST and usually home by 6 on weekdays.

Ramas,

I have a day off work today, need to leave the house at 3:30pm (GMT).

After that will be home all day Tuesday. Ping me if you want to arrange a game.

Notable injuries:

For the Norse, we have a dead lineman (rerolled to a dead lineman - Fredek strikes again), a -1 agility lineman, a MNG berserker, and a couple badly hurts. For the dwarves, one of my matched set of strength 4 bookend linemen averted death via fireball with the help of an apothecary, but unfortunately the sawbones was only able to reduce it to a niggling injury.

EDIT: Just noticed, in the insult added to severe injury category, that Luckton's MVP was the dead guy.

Aye, what Ing said.  It wasn't a slaughter, but my chances of winning were slim to none, and slim left town the moment he saw the match schedule  :why_so_serious:

Dwarfes did what dwarfs do best; pack on the guard and steamroll to victory.  At least I got some pass/catch SPP farming in for a couple level ups.

Will look out for you Saturday morning my time then Megrim, looking forward to kicking off the new season with a few stakes to the heart!

This weekend is a bit nuts, but I will look for you in the evenings if I am around.

Modern Angel, can you play this weekend?

I learned last season Norse are not very fun versus dwarves if you like having your dudes non-mangled.

Well, unlike my Elfs, my Norse have already had a few beatings pumped into them prior to the season start.  I'm still at 11 players with the one dude dead (was going to fire him anyways  :why_so_serious:), and my Runner leveled up just tossing the ball around for one game.

BRING IT ON, RATS!   :drill:

I'm online tomorrow, but away on holiday till next saturday after that.

By GMT, assume you meant BST btw? It gets important when you up against anyone outside of NA or europe who generally don't do daylight saving.

Why must I be punished again so?

Insatiable 1 - The Minizilla's 2

And the lizards open the campaign with a bloody victory over the blood sucking undeadsquad of Megrims Insatiable. The Minizilla's won the toss and elected to kick giving the vampires the initiative. Megrim set himself up for a strong flank push down my left field and within 2 turns had got a receiver free and parked behind my defence and Megrim decided to try for a quick score throwing to the open vampire but with none of his players in support it would only work if I could not work a block, not a bad assumption since all my saurus' were engaged however my break tackle Saurus blitzed the open vamp and after a re-roll on the initial failed block blitzed down the open vamp spilling the pig bladder loose. I have a receiver in megrim's half but will need a layoff and run or possible pass to get there but my skink fu proved to be unreliable this game and though I made the pickup my hand off failed turning over but leaving the ball marked. Megrim hypnotic gazes one marker and clears off another, scoops up the ball and unnoticed by me he had run an unmarked thrall up the far side of the pitch but he fails a GFI burning a re-roll and then fumbles the pass. I blitz the vampire who attempted the pass and sucesfully pick up the ball, however I am not in a position to make it safe or hand off to get more yardage and with time running out I look for blocks to make and manage to roll a both down on my non block big guy ending the turn and leaving a rather exposed skink holding something the vampires are desperately keen to recover. Megrim once again uses hypnotic gaze to good effect clearing the tackle zones protecting my ball carrier and the susequent blitz not only works but scores the first injury of the match badly hurting my skink carrier, however megrim fails a dodge with his next move gicing me an easy chance to snatch theball and finally make some yardage if only i can pick up the ball. My star blitzer evens up the injury count breaking a vampires jaw and all my other blocks work but I burn a re-roll attempting the pick up which also fails Megrim clears one marker and once again uses hypnotic gaze to clear the tackle zone off the ball, waltzes a thrall in to make the pickup and subsequent hand off to open the scoring on turn 5.

I set myself up to psuh down a sideline but my opening blitz only scores a push so I change my mind and form a standard cage then start my normal blocks, perhaps unwisely beginning with my krox who scores attacker down both down and then eats my final re-roll for no gain as he fails the loner roll. Fortune favours me on the next turn as megrim gazes my cage and tries to blitz the carrier but fails the GFI and blows his final re-roll to no effect as that also fails. I take advantage of this gift by now pushing my sideline cage but again with great use of hypnotic gaze Megrim blitzes the ball carrier which comes up with both down and with no re-rolls causes the quick turnover, luckily for me the scatter doesn't take the ball out of play and on my next turn I am able to setup once more in a sideline cage but this time I am in score range on my last turn as long as Megrim cannot sack my ball carrier. With held breath I watch as megrim sets himself up and when the moment of truth arrives Mergrim needs to make 2 dodges before he can hit my skink, hemakes the first but fails the second and I run in the equaliser on my last turn of the half.

Second half kicks off and Megrim's KO'd thrall doesn't wake up so it is 10 v 11 in my favour and I setup again for a sideline push and again only score a push on the blitz so revert to a standard cage. Ordinarily this would be a safe strategy since mostly it takes 2 turns to break a proper cage that doesn't have any already established contact but not with vamp's and their damn hypnotic gaze and megrim gazes 2 corners before succesfully blitzing my carrier  though he is not able to pick up the loose ball which drives my decision to not try and stall out the half and score late but to score as fast as I can and try and defend the lead. I clear the thralls that are in amongst my cage, injuring one and then work a 2 die block on a vampire marking a cage corner and once again score another injury but have no room for more manouver so the turn ends. Megrim takes down one of my cage corners and moves a vamp to mark my ball carrier but now his cover is a bit thin and I succesfully blitz the marking vamp away and clear a path to do a handoff and score on turn 11.

It is now 11 players v 7 in my favour and Megrim tries a strong sideline push himself now but gets bogged down and I manage to get a saurus and a dive tackling skink to mark his thrall ball carrier, however he has worked a vampire receiver in score range behind my defence line and though he is marked with a skink it proves to be an ineffective move as megrim Hypnotic gazes one marker and dodges the thrall away before scoring a perfect launch mid pass, my interception fails and it looks like an equaliser on turn 13, however that doesn't account for blood lust which the vampire now fails forcing a move back up the field to feed on a thrall rather than scoring the tying touchdown. To add insult to injury he has to end his turn next to my killer saurus who obliges by taking him out of the game with an injury causing block popping the ball free, however the drama doesn't quite end there as I fail the pickup and Megrim blitzes my skink marking the ball but then fails his own sure hands pickup, I blitz that thrall down and this time safely pick the ball up and then secure the ball inside a cage and with only 5 players left on the pitch for the last 2 turns of the match there is not much more that Megrim can do other than try and earn some SPP with blocks on skinks which doesn't cause me any harm and the match ended 2 - 1 to the lizards.

Really good to get the season off to a winning start and Megrim perhaps didn't deserve the loss being let down with critical rolls at critical times but I'll take what Nuffle dishes out, I am sure I will be getting my own doses of Nufflitis in due course.

Match is uploaded to BBmanager.

I've validated both of the games so far but I'll be out of town until next Sunday. I'll have a laptop with me but it's a Mac so no Bloodbowl for me.

Boot camp, bro, boot camp  :grin:

My Nifty helmets lose to ezrast's 7 Deadlies, 2-1.

The 7 put two points on the scoreboard by the end of the first half, and the Helmets were able to get one point in the second half they didn't successfully steal for the equalization.
In a game without any real injuries (a few badly hurts only) both teams leveled two players, so the TV continues to climb...

Yikes, I didn't realize my TV was so high. Mid-1700s after these levels... still feel like a 1500s team.

Anyway, in a nice match to start the season with, Gruntle and I were both dusting off our season 4 teams and had almost even TV (thanks to my star Skink still recovering from a 9.5-month-old injury somehow). UI troubles and being Chaos meant that the Nifty Helmets couldn't do much about my scampering Skinks, who scored two TDs in the first half, and thankfully the injury dice were kind to me - my lizards got barreled over in the beginning of the second half, and if I were at any sort of numerical disadvantage that could have turned very sour very quickly. Fortunately they held onto the ball long enough afterwards to keep the score at 2-1.

Had a great match going with Bann; was up by one with the ball in the second half with a pretty good little cage brewing, but got a network sync error and we had to abandon the match.  Need a reset.  Fuck Cyanide.

Our match pooped out early second half. We were both getting network synch errors after each attempted action. I would click yes twice and it would take my moves, but Ruvaldt would not get anything happening at all for his guys. Can we please get a match reset?

3 Wrestlers - The Pimpernels 0

Going into this game I was thinking that at least one of us will get a win this season.
Nuffle sneezed in my favour  :awesome_for_real:

I didn't do anything that amazing but Sir T had a few things play out really badly.
His wizard only took out the only dwarf in the area.
He fumbled the ball in a few places that made it possible for me to score again.

It could easily have gone the other way if the dice were meaner to me.

Replay uploaded :)

I *just* got in from a beach vacation today. My schedule is more or less open for the whole week! So pick a time. I'm eastern US

I also am Eastern US. How about Tuesday at 7PM EDT?

Teleku was on a family trip on the weekend but we should get our game soon... Right Wood elf buddy? :D

Man, I better get a game in before to get rid of the rust...  :awesome_for_real:

Sounds boss. Just page me on Steam whenever you get square and I'll hop on.

Yeah, I'm back.  I'll just respond to you here rather than PM.  I leave my steam on all day, and am gloriously not working for another month and a half, so just message me any time you want on steam, and I can stop what ever I'm doing.  If you want a specific time (that isn't 3 AM for me), just post it and I'll make sure I'm available.

Also, how did this match up happen to me yet again?  Seriously.   :oh_i_see:

I'll just ping you since my time after work should be your happy mornings...

But you've got a faster, better, elfier team now! It'll be different this time...  :why_so_serious:

Because I got the *other* wood elves. (Eventually.)

Modern Angel won our game 1-0. The difference maker? He took a chance to break loose late in the second half unprotected, and I tried to break one of my blitzers out of dodge range by smacking a black orc with my Mino. 3 dice roll came up Skull Skull Both Down, Loner failed the reroll, game over. It was a dumb error on my part that sort screwed up an otherwise decently played game after 6 months off.

I did injure something of his, got 60k on my loss money, and leveled up a Chaos warrior. So, it's a pretty solid slogfest moral victory for me.

Incredibly evenly matched game. Like most of those, it turned on a fluke, in this case the minotaur flub.

Yep we both took risks. I tried a late half pass I knew would have pretty much no downside since I was bottled. And it didn't work. You took a sideline GFI race unprotected and it did work. I prefer those type of games turning on tactical risks rather than just playing to a tie.

I hate ties.

Wherefor is my opponent ?

I am utterly unsurprised to report that Comstar's Amazons are victorious over my fresh humans, 2-1.  I am surprised to report that it was not a total blowout and no one died.

The Whalers took the entire suite of inducements: Griff the "Star Player" (who was totally not earning his money), a wizard (which I used in a cheap shot to try and score a cheap TD but the amazon both [a.] just fell over and [b.] picked the ball up successfully afterwards), a reroll (which I did end up using in one half), and two bloodweiser babes.

Whalers scored first, then the Amazons drove it back in the first half.   The Catfighters received in the second half and leisurely scored.  Nothing too exciting in the actual game, other than that trying to find an amazon to block without a +1 ST or Guard Amazon in the mix is a pain in the ass.  

Near the end of the game Pip the random lineman was KILLED, but the apothecary dusted himself off and fixed him, mostly.  He has a niggling injury.  Nobody else was hurt so I guess that was worth it.

It's uploaded to the thinger.

I made a number of mistakes that Proudft took advantage of -the big one being I forgot that any non-elf team can actually pass the ball over my head.  My Sneaky Git lineswomen finally got her 1 skill point she needed for the entire season, meaning she's now going to foul now that she will have dirty player too. A level 5 catcher is now level 6 and another lineswomen with wrestle will probably take tackle. No injuries on my side, so my team EV should now be over 2000.

Hey Falc. If you're about the next few hours look for me on steam.

Ramas,

I'm about most of today, you going to be free?

Back and validated all the matches that needed it. The Bann v Ruvaldt match has been reset as requested.

Haemish ping me if you see me online and are able to play.

Ramas,

Still not heard from you or seen you on steam.

I'm about tonight, Monday night and Wednesday night then am on holiday for 8 days. We able to fix a game?

I can't seem to get you to respond on steam so message me here or on steam when you have time to play.

IainC and I just played our match and HOLY SHIT, WHAT A GAME.

Zellar DwellarZ 2 - Fianna Chulain 6

This game was much closer than the score would indicate and FULL of bullshit of both the elfy and furry variety. It started with a turn 2 long bomb by my thrower to a gutter runner in the end zone, followed by a 2-turn quick score from Iain's thrower. That became a theme for the game. Me thinking his thrower (with strong arm and AGI 5) was out of range for a possible throw and his thrower making it anyway. Apparently, he can never need more than a 3+ roll. With a catcher that had AGI 5, 9 MA and a few other skills, he only needed one opening to make shit happen. By the half, we had a close contest at 2-2.

He started the 2nd half with the ball and managed a quick score to make it 3-2. I received and got the ball in the hands of my thrower, with a gutter runner flanked by 2 elves down the sidelines. The gutter runner bolted to the end zone, the thrower went down the sidelines to get a throw off, and needing a 5+, I made a scatter launch, which sent the ball out of the endzone and back on the pitch in a place not advantageous to me. Next turn, his thrower picks up the ball, finds his catcher halfway down my end of the pitch and the game was over from there. My dice went to shit and his elves romped.

I make that one throw, it's a whole different game. One of the most exciting games I've played, and worth a look at on replay.

Well, got thrashed in my first game. 5-1, though at times it was much closer than that.

I got the ball first, despite a blitz (one of the two he got) I smashed through his lines and got my cage to his TD line. I hate being a dick, so I scored instead of caging up until turn 8.

Then he got one of his 2 one-turn TDs with sprinting mover 10 gutter runners... Holy crap, still not sure how to stop those.

Once I was 4-1 down, with limited time I made a crazy passing play, ended up being 5-1 down...

Killed a rat, injured another. Though managed to get 2 injuries in return (gobo, plus blitzer pushed into the crowd).

Good game, was totally out skilled, but enjoyed it.

1 - Camp-Town Orc Boyz
5 - Ermine Vermin

First half started very tight, the Orcs received and started beating up rats while moving down the pitch. Injured and KOd a couple - but no critical rats went down. Things really kicked off on turn 6, the Orcs finally scored, kicked back to the Vermin, a pick up in the back field and pass to Cheddar Persille later, the rats were level by the end of turn 6. The Orcs received once again, but this time were unable to gain control in their own back field, the Vermin swarmed the ball and scored a second on turn 8.

Second half, Camp-town kick off again, shorter this time, simple hand off to Cheddar Persille who scores his second, the Rats third. Orcs receive, and begin to establish control in centre. However, Camp town overstretch and push the carrier downfield with just 2 screening orcs, they get swarmed, and after a brief melee the rats emerge with the ball, then quickly outrun the orcs to make it 4-1, though in the process Crunchy Joe (level 1 stormvermin) is killed. Rats kick off, and blitz the orc backfield, bringing the score to 5-1 on turn 15.

Another level for Cheddar Persille and Neville the Nose (2TDs each to reach level 6 and 5 respectively).

Will be a couple of days before the match hits BBManager because  I need to work out how the fuck to download it again.

Yeah, that over stretch was a mistake. Was too keen on trying to even the score a little rather than sensible play... Hopefully lesson learnt.

Zellar DwellerZ vs Fianna Chulain - Battle of the Bullshit!

The first half was exactly the kind of tense, end-to-end match you'd expect to see from two very fast teams with no defence to speak of. By the time the whistle blew for half-time the score was 2-2 with both sides having scored all but unstoppable touchdowns in a rapid-fire succession of precision passing and running. There had been a couple of KOs but nothing more serious and everyone recovered in time for their oranges ad tea.

Then the second half happened.

It started off badly for the Skaven when the Elves who were receiving scored a one turn TD thanks to a Quick Snap, then it got worse. A Skaven pass went wide and was scooped by the Elves who inevitably turned it into a fourth TD within seconds. Next kick off, the Elves took the ball away from the unsupported thrower but lost it again when they were unable to get their catcher out of danger. The Skaven floored all the Elves within range and held their thrower back while Gutter Runners sprinted down the pitch. Unfortunately one of the Elves in the Skaven half was a Wardancer with Jump Up who vaulted over the heads of the two Skaven who'd just finished mugging her, blitzed the thrower down and then coolly plucked the ball from the astro-granite before walking it over the line to make it 5-2. There were about 3 turns left each and it was vanishingly unlikely that the Skaven could equalise without a very specific set of kick off events but they gamely set up to try anyway. A failed hand-off put the odds of a consolation TD in the second half in dire jeopardy and it looked like it was all over when I got a clear run with my thrower to the ball with a 2+ pass to a Wardancer in the Skaven end-zone. The ratmen were given a sliver of hope when she dropped the catch but it stayed on the pitch in the endzone. The Skaven dashed in to grab it but botched the pickup and they had already burnt a reroll on their Rat Ogre that turn. Once more the ball stayed on the pitch, bouncing to the other side of the rat who had fumbled it. The elves blitzed him off the pitch before the Wardancer leisurely strolled across and lifted it high in the air for the sixth and final Elven touchdown. There was one Skaven turn left to play so I put all my positional players as far back as possible and Haemish kicked the disposable line-elves around to no great effect.

Final score 6-2 Fianna Chulain. The rats scored one injury in the game (which I apothecaried to badly hurt) and suffered a MNG on one of their Gutter Runners. No Elven level-ups but a Stormvermin hit level 4 and rolled doubles so it wasn't a complete wash for the rats.

Got spanked by Ruvaldt 3-0. It probably would have gotten bigger than that, but I conceded on turn 8. Had 3 injuries and 1 knocked out, and he had a full field. I was going to be bringing in some goblins and I wanted to stop before my team got completely shredded. I think I have 1 or 2 missing next game. My strategy going in was to hope to get lucky with some injuries/fouls as the beastman dont really have a bench, but it did not end up working out way. Well played to the ex-presidents!

I was so tempted to take claw or some other mutation for the Stormvermin since he rolled a double 1 (so didn't get a GOOD doubles roll that could have added MV or STR or AGI). But I ended up taking tackle based on some sage Iainc advice.

I had gotten kind of burned out on Blood Bowl with the teams I'd been playing in the offseason stuff - I didn't like the way any of them shaped up. I really had been missing my Skaven.

EDIT: Shit, just looked at the schedule. Seriously? I play IainC's elves, Ulysses's Lizards and Ingmar's fucking Dwarves my first 3 games? Holy fuckballs.

The Ex-Presidents of Doom 3 - 0 The Explorers Club!

I got lucky by getting a chance to give Abe, my +1 STR blodging chaos warrior, the ball from the start and outflanked the orcs while my line-warriors kept the orcs' big guns tied up at midfield.  I could've scored on round three, but some of Bann's orcs are really scary; especially the blitzers, so I hung onto the ball and started clawing up as many of them as I could.  I dodged some bullets aimed at Millard Fillmore, and got a vision of things to come, but he hung onto consciousness and I scored on my seventh turn.  Bann conceded at that point, down several orcs, and I couldn't blame him at all. 

It was a tough match-up for an orc team at the beginning of the season.  The main thing they have going for them is high armor and strength, but a developed chaos team is a perfect match for that.  Bann played well and I'm sure he'll come back from the loss and meet his next team with more luck.

Comstar, Teleku, Carnifex, ICE, Ingmar, Luckton and Lamaros if you reading this but not the other thread, post in the masters thread so we know if you want to do that.

Teleku sorry I missed twice on the weekend!

How does late tonight GMT +9 11pm so your Monday morning sound?

Hmm, so 7 AM my time then?  I'll set my alarm, but not going to guarantee I'll wake up exactly on time, heh.  I'm blessidly in between jobs right now, so I haven't been waking up early for awhile.   :awesome_for_real:

Falc, when is good for you?

How about later on my Tuesday night (midnight) and your Tuesday morning 8am?

Just done some team management. Leveled up a Blitzer, gave him Guard. Oh and I bought a Deathroller.

Aha, You messaged me during Elena's recital.  That was a day long thing.  Fret not, we'll get it arranged ! 

Next time just go with claw.  :awesome_for_real:

I would've advised claw...but that's my answer to everything.

Lamaros, best time for me would be wednesday. I am going to be availble pretty much all day (Greenwich +1 kind of day). What do you think?

avaia show thyself  :tinfoil:

I'll be around tonight.

cool dude!  i'll be around in ~30 minutes.

aaand HHB triumphant 3-0  :grin:  a lot closer than that score would indicate, at least it felt that way to the victor - twice avaia was in spitting distance of scoring and was thwarted by an unlucky roll or two.  my last score was entirely bullshit, as avaia obligingly blitzed my line and KOed himself, letting a skink sneak in and GFI a whole bunch of times with seconds on the clock.  inexplicably no injuries, though lots of KOs.  i had like ten people show up and made out with 20k.  HHB's fans must be as rusty as their coach.  alternately, the last andydavo blowout really did a number on franchise morale.  hopefully this rights things a bit.

match is uploaded to redux.

That's either late Wednesday for me / early wed for you, or early thursday for me, late wed for you. Which would you prefer?

Hey, sorry man.  That would have been fine, but a family issue just came up.  I'm watching my 4 year old nephew tonight and tomorrow morning, and don't think I can take the time away for a BB game in that time frame (need to figure out what and how to feed him....).

I should be clear Wednesday on out though (unless more shit goes terribly wrong).

No worries Teleku,

Your Wednesday morning my late Wednesday night !

Late wed for me is OK, but can't be later than 11pmGMT. Let's say that my window is 8pm-11pm GMT on Wednesday (which should be early Thursday for you), what do you think? Possible?

That would be around 4-7am for me, which is pretty much impossible unfortunately.

Better would be 10pm-2am my time, which would be 2pm-6pm your time. Can you do that?

I can do it 3pm my time, on my Wednesday. Would that be OK with you?

Should be great. See you then.

Whoo stats.

Ouch  :ye_gods:, although couple of injuries there for the Skaven team  :awesome_for_real:

Some, uh, serious blowout scores coming up this season. Between the rats, and people feeding concessions to clawpomb, lets hope the season tightens up after a bit.

Goblins!!!!!!

I am super tired, but ready to rock some amazon socks and jump on them when they are down.

Will I play even better when mentally and physically exhausted? YES.

Goblins.

Finals bound.

Foul every turn.

Two days to go and three matches to play, how are those coming along?

I noticed before me game that I had 400k gold, which is against the rules. Now I have 0 gold!

Just thought I'd remind others of this incase they also forgot about it.

Poor, poor Goblins!

TRAVESTY!

GUARDS!

Bugs, booo!

Game ending bug in the second half. I am paused, though Falc says his game has lost connection with me. 1-0 to Falc, but I have the ball and I'm 10 men to 7 on the pitch.

Bloody annoying. We are unlikely to find another time to replay the game, especially not in the next two days.

Waiting for Mr Teleku!

Lamaros and Falc, If I reset your game, what are the odds that you'll get to replay it before Sunday evening?

By a cyanide twist of fate we actually managed to replay it, as it didn't recognise after all the timeouts and whatnot.

In the second half now. Not going as well for me.

THREE DOUBLE ONES! NO! NO! NO!!!

Where are we uploading the replays? Name of the League? Sorry if it has been posted before. And what's the password?

A thoroughly unsatisfying game.

It began early, when my bold attempt to take out Wolstencraft, who has decided to doddle her 6 AV behind up to the line when I was recieving, failed as she somehow evaded the chainsaw. A both down option with my Troll then ended up with him concussed and ended my first turn. On the second it didn't get better, with Looney paying the price for his poor work in the first and leaving the pitch badly hurt. There was a bit of back and forth after that, with the ball in dispute a few times, but failed throws, pickups and dodges on both sides made us all look like amateurs. In the end the ball spilled to my goblin bodybuilder and he made a dash for the line, only to fail on a GFI. Falc then dodged about, picked the ball up in a few TZs, and made a long throw that I was unable to stop. It ended 1-0 down at the half.

I came out in the second with some renewed optimism, but I overextended myself down the right and Falc slipped behind. He then tried to stall, but I got the casulties mounting and he was forced to put the ball in the endzone on his 15th turn.

This gave me four turns left, and I had whittled him down to 6-7 on the pitch, so the Goblins sniffed a DRAW! in the offing. Sadly it was not to be, though I ran him mighty close. With four turns to go I rushed him, and I got one back in two turns. Then I placed a knife edge kick just over the half, in front of my star Troll, only to see a poor bounce in to my half granting him free possession of the ball in the back field. I kept my chin up and swarmed into his half, and it turned out that on the 18th turn I had a chance at scoring if I could make a block, pick up the spill and then run and pass with a GFI. Sadly the block dice didn't come up, as you might expect when you don't have a single player with the Block skill, and I lost the game.

Goblins did good, though. I feel that a bright future awaits.

Still waiting for our Wood Elf star to turn up  :heartbreak:

F13 Season 6 for 40k and Tamurkhan divisions, F13 Season 6 - Redux for Hordes Division. Password is fearchange.

Going to bed, will try to find you in 4 hours

Think I just got confused by this and uploaded it to both. Not sure why we have two on bbmanager anyway.

Hey Llyse!  Jumped on this morning, didn't see you online.  Had to go out around 2 PM my time for an appointment.  Just got back, see you messaged.  Not getting a response from you.  I'm free from now on for the rest of the day.  We'll get this bitch done somehow!

Yep!

Will be at work for another 9 hours I not sure where that puts you, otherwise I'll go to bed super early today and catch you in your the middle of the day...

It'd be GMT +9 6:30pm Thursday

or

GMT +9 4am Friday

Broken Neck.

OUCH

0-5 defeat against Ironwood's rats  :ye_gods:

My only defense for my poor playing is that I had terrible luck (ai. Ironwood got 3 blitzes and 2 perfect defenses in kickoffs...). First few turns when Ironwood was receiving and had some bad luck I did manage to get my gutter runner 1 go-for-it short of scoring but it was downhill from there and when the game was over the 6 players I still had on the field had no excuses except poor playing (on my part) to blame.

In fairness, that's a harsh judgement of a game that was pretty much akin to putting 18 rats in a blender and pressing the button.

Luck was not on Satael's side, but he put in some quite powerful Skaven play for an unrated team and has managed to totally fuck over two of my star players for their forseeable lives.  So that's a moral victory right there.

It was a good game, well played and fun.  If I was to give any advice it's that Bloodbowl punishes those who take chances, so sometimes it's best to be conservative with what you attempt.

Replay is up.  Just.......watch the replay.  It was like a contest to see who could have the dice explode in their face the most.  I failed, and then failed the reroll on almost every single GFI.  Failed pick-ups and throws at the worst points.  Llyse couldn't pick up the ball to save his life (seriously, it was like he was playing Khemri) and had several spectacularly bad rolls of the dice to make him drop the ball.  I would then pounce on it, getting some great rolls to get there and/or knock the ball out an exposed carriers hands, only to get dice fucked as well at the last moment.  We did this back and forth the whole game.

Thinking back I actually got lucky on injuries.  Due to constantly getting turn overs before I was ready, and his aggressive play, most of my elves were left exposed and constantly being hit by his team, and constantly getting stars rolled against them.  However, I only had one injury the whole match, near the end, and it was only Badly Injured.  

Thanks to Llyse for staying up late (was 2 AM when we started) to finally get this done.

That match... Holy crap. I don't understand though on the very last Undead turn of the game, you had the Wardancer marking the ball and you ran the werewolf to the endzone, picked up the ball with the Wight and then tried handing it off. Why not just blitz the wardancer with the Wight and then pick the ball up with the Werewolf and walk it over? It's safer than the pickup and handoff and you had your blitz in hand at that point.


Anyhow, that's all the games played, just need Ironwood to upload the replay for his game and we're all set for day 2. I killed the extra league in BBManager so everyone should now just upload to the f13 Season 6 league regardless of their division. All the games that had already been uploaded to the other league have been moved to the main league.

Sturdybranch hit a zombie and injured it in that game, giving him the SPP to level.  Rolled doubles, and he now has block!   :drill:

The Wardancer has sidestep but that wasn't one of my best games.

Uhhhh, ok.  Drop me a PM to remind me how to do that, yeah ?  I'll attempt it after work.

 :ye_gods:

I haz uploaded.  I think.

Hopefully we'll be able to tend to our injured and levelled up chaps shortly.

You have.

All games validated. Day two thread going up imminently.

My gutter runners are developing a habit of great level up rolls in inconvienient combinations.

First my wrestle dudes get +1MV when it would be better on the block guys,  now dauntless guy gets +1STR.

You're lucky.  My rolls were utter shit.

I literally didn't want to take any of the skills on offer.
