Comstar, who are you on steam and when can you play?

fyi, http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=21618.0

So if we're in the other division we do nothing until the 21st, yes?

You bug your guys to play their matches then play yours when you roll over probably some time before the 21st.

Comstr. GMT+10 but I work nights weekdays so I'm awake US prime.  And I need to ask the same thing of you.

I'm swiftblade, I'm in the f13 channel and I've just seen that you are. I'm BST (GMT+1), so I guess my mornings/your evening for a game? How does sunday suit you?

All divisions have now been advanced to day 4. The opening post has been edited with the rankings, schedules and results.

No Halflings to pick on this time, Megrim.  We're doing this for realz!   :drill:

Although more than likely you will still kick my ass :-P

Busy this weekend but will hit you up during the week Lamaros!

Reborne, you around this weekend? I'm on steam periodically making my wallet scream for mercy.

Ironwood, weekends are probably the only time we'll get a chance to play. I'm likely going to be out of pocket on Saturday but Sunday might work out. I'm GMT -5.

To be honest, I see you on fairly often, so it might not be that bad.

We'll see if we can get it the fuck outta the way ASAP.  This league is fucking with my head.

Lost 2-0 to comstar, will let him upload and post stats.

Having started with nearly 1,000,000 of inducements I knew it'd be a tough game. With him having nearly as many strength 4 players as I did, and many of his players being level 5 or 6 with block/guard and other skills on pretty much every player I was just utterly out classed with my starting skill-less team. I was being out bashed by a throwing team, that's never a good thing... Don't think I stood much of a chance, but the better team with good coaching got the win.

I can't find my password for BB manager and there's no way to retrieve it :(

I've uploaded the game. Not a massive fan of throwing goblins, but yeah, think you're right when it was turn 6 I probably should've.

I'm on California time, Satael, don't know your schedule, but I'm pretty busy on weekends and usually not busy on weeknights.

Alright, Falc. Peel yourself away from TSW to get your beating.

where's ezrast?! DROGG WILL KRUSH YOU

I'm UTC+02:00 (Helsinki) which means it will be very hard to find a time that will work for both of us

The Minizilla's 2 - Fianna Chulain 1

The match started and Iain lost the toss so I elected to receive and set myself up for a standard cage and centre push. Within the first 3 turns I had removed both wardancers and his agi 5 super catcher meaning the chances of Iain breaking my cage were slim to non and I worked on reducing the elves as bloodily as possible scoring 3 injuries (one wardancer badly hurt which Iain apoth'd to death and I was a little miffed he didn't allows the pointy eared bugger to pop her mortal coil) and 2 KO's were the end result before walking in the opening touchdown. Iain received but as he didn't get a blitz or a quick snap there was no opportuinity for a 1 turn score so with no return injuries scored the second half began.

This time it was a different story, I kicked to Iain and he blitzed with a wardancer to make space and then leapt and dodged her into my backfield, however the very next move was a failed pickup by the agi 5 thrower so sensing my opportunity for a steal I blitz an elf out of the way to make room and move a marking skink up to mark the ball and as I bring another up I fail the second GFI and re-roll KO'ing my skink in the process. Iain blitz's the skink marking the ball scoring a badly hurt scoops it up with his thrower who lobs it down the field with no problems to the waiting wardancer who runs the ball over the line for a standard 2 turn score.

I received and was not too concerned to be honest seeing how I had totally decimated his team in the first half surely it would only be a case of surviving the odd blitz and marching up the field to score a last turn winner, however now my injury dice decided to desert me (though I did score another 3 injuries throughout the course of the half) I couldn't get rid of his damn wardancers, even starting the drive off with a wizard lightning bolt on Iains dauntless wardancer that scored a hit but failed to break armour. Iain leap blitzed my carrying skink around 4 times in the remaining 6 turns, scoring a pow every time to pop the ball loose but nuffle was not smiling on the elves tonight as the ball refused to pop out somewhere nice for a quick steal for the plucky woodelves and eventually the sheer number of blocks I was being allowed to throw against the woodelves began to tell and I finally managed to work myself clear of markers and break up the pitch.

I gave myself a scare at one point, thinking it was the last turn and I had moved my skink in scoring range back as a cage corner, thereby blowing my chance of winning but it turned out I had counted right and through Iain managed to blitz a skink corner and put a marker on my carrier I easily pushed the marker away and ran in a last turn touchdown to make the final score 2 - 1.

Another fun game and at last my luck versus woodelves changes, though it could easily have been another story if nuffle had been a little kinder to Iain in the second half. I had 4 level ups at the end of the match so now have a plethora of side stepping skinks, all saurus' have block and my superstar +agi, safe hands skink now has block. Please Nuffle don't let my next opponent kill him in his next match, that would make me a very sad panda!

Met the Minizillas tonight and it was a very tense and dramatic match that could easily have swung the other way.

I kicked to the Lizards and right away they formed a strong cage around their ball carrying Skink. The Elves jumped in and out trying to pop it free but suffered a self inflicted KO on one Wardancer following a botched dodge on their first turn and then an injury on the other Wardancer during the Lizard's second turn. The Apothecary wanted to end her life but the Elven fans dragged him away before he could finish his grisly work and the Wardancer was escorted to the sidelines for a bit of a sit down. With no Wardancers left and Elves leaving the pitch at a steady rate, I decided that contesting the ball was a fool's errand and concentrated on Skink genocide instead. This was partially successful as I badly hurt one of the little diving tackle fuckers but I didn't manage much more than that. I also chain fouled the Krox for three turns in a row with a bunch of players but didn't manage to do more than keep him stunned until halftime. The Lizards walked the ball over on their last turn of the half and that was that.

The second half started with the fans beaning one of my line-elves with a rock and then my Agi 5 Sure Hands catcher failing to pick the ball up. The Lizards got a coupel of Skinks down to mark the ball but the second failed a GfI and a Wardancer was able to blitz the first out of the way. That left the catcher clear to pick the ball up, trot up the pitch with it and throw it to the second Wardancer who had blitzed her way into the 'Zilla's half in the previous turn. She caught it and skipped over the line to even the score on turn 10.

The Elves kicked off again and Ulysees decided that he really didn't like Dauntless, Strip ball, Jump Up Wardancers so he lightning bolted her which took her down but failed to injure her. There then followed a very tense if frustrating series of turns where I was able to leap into the Lizard cage and knock the ball carrier down but every time the ball bounced to a bad spot and I was unable to get a hand to it. Four times in a row I took the ball carrier down but couldn't get the ball away. Eventually the weight of Elvish injuries and the solidity of the Lizards started to tell and they pushed the cage down the field far enough to get the Skink into scoring range on their penultimate turn. I made a critical mistake in not standing up my wardancer (who would have been able to get a blitz on the ball carrier if she'd stood up and moved) because I thought she was stunned and that meant I only got a blitz on an escortign skink instead, The Lizards easily pushed my marker away and ran in the winner on the last turn of the game.

Was a good game that I thought I could win right up until the very end. I got two level ups and Ulysees got four, I also have a line-elf missing the next game.

Satael's rookie rats held me to a 1-0 win with some very sharply played defense, and some help from Morg'n'Thorg (first time I've seen him this season, in something of an upset.) Luckily he also hired Headsplitter, who decided to take a dive and roll timely double skulls a few times, eventually hurting himself and being carried off the pitch. Rumors that he was bribed with dwarven ale and gold are just RECKLESS SPECULATION.

2 rat deaths were saved by the rat apothecaries (nimble little fingers I guess) and one unskilled linerat took a -1 to agility.

The 1-0 score just reflects how the dwarves had too much fun bashing the rats into pieces to bother with silly things like scoring.
My "brilliant" plan was foiled when one of the dwarves actually bothered to score when there weren't enough rats left on field standing for the dwarves to bash  :why_so_serious:

I feel your pain Brah

I'm serious, Falc. I know you're scared. It's okay.

I mailed out my pc last Tuesday, and they said it should get here Wednesday.  Provided that ups didn't kick the box all the way from California to DC, and it still works, I should be available by then.  Also, can who ever has the power please change my time zone to east coast time instead of west coast in the info thread?

Online all day today if Ruvaldt is ready for his beating.

Also any of my masters league opponents, live on steam right now.

For that matter, anyone who just wants a feeder league game, ping me.

Today is a good day for blood bowl.

I think you need to ping a mod about that - or Bann as he made the thread so should be able to edit it.

Still hunting down Reborne

Your playing me, so if it doesn't get there in time I'll just concede and save myself the anguish.

AND I'M OFF THE SCHNIDE!

Zellar Dwellarz 4 - Ironwood's Itchers 0

Rat on rat action, with lots of knockdowns, dodges and a pair of useless tits with the arrogance to call themselves rat ogres. I think they might have had 4 turns of not being on their asses or wild animals the entire game combined. It was almost all Zellar Dwellarz. I think Ironwood had a few "Cyanide has a shite UI" moments, including a foul that got a player sent off and ended a turn when he didn't need it. I inflicted more KO's and more knockdowns (but not by much) and he inflicted 5 injuries. Luckily none were miss next game and only 1 was significant (a gutter runner with -1 AV). Ironwood rolled a SHITLOAD of 1's on the D6, but his block dice were awful. 42% to my 56%, and more turnovers because of it. With my passing game actually working this time (only missed 1 pass and it was a long one with my level 1 thrower instead of the level 2) and gutter runners ran amok.

I think that makes me out to be more competant than I actually was, but fair enough.

The odd bit of the match was one of my rats running to the front and then fouling someone for no reason.

No idea what went on there.

Lamaros let's book our showdown this Wednesday night, I'm just an hour behind on GMT +9

Oh, your not getting off that easy!  Nuffle loooooves to fuck with me (and all elven players) at the worst time.   You can do it!  Though since I think I may have a busy schedule from here on, plan on next weekend being the best day to play, unless your available to play in the later parts of your evenings.

Plus, if Teleku's computer causes the fail he should be the conceder.  :grin:

I've been trying to contact Modern Angel every 15 minutes for 5 days in a row now. I even set an alarm to prevent me to fall asleep so I could make sure he gets his reminder every 15 minutes 24/7, but he never gets back to me. We'll play as soon as he finds the courage to write em back.

This is patently false. Your mendacity will get you a black eye on the pitch.

Llyse had 4 guys for most of the second half. When the sun shines, goblins have a party.

I don't think your play was that incompetent. Your block dice put you on the back foot more than enough times that recovery was hard. The foul that got your guy sent off was really bad - I just figured you misclicked the space with the guy on the ground due to Cyanide's shit UI. As someone whose dice often fuck him more than his stupidity (though that certainly happens on more often than not), I can say that you didn't play any worse than me. You just got no breaks on dice. Your Ogre being as worthless as mine didn't help at all.

Oooh, upset!

Haha, fair play to Lamaros he earned a solid win albeit with some good luck but overall he made sure there weren't going to be any last minute heroics.

I'm just thankful I didn't get any long term injuries, damn shifty goblins refusing to die!

What is the lowest rank to make the playoffs? Because I'm real danger of going to the failoffs  :why_so_serious: :drill:

Makes up for my bad luck in the first game against Falc I say!

My Nifty Helmet's met Bann's Explorer's Club! Orcs in a 1-1 draw.

He bashed us good -- we were only fielding 8 of our 13 players for the second half, and while we lucked out with only one real injury (niggle apoth'ed to niggle) our minotaur was badly hurt in the first turn and was then another expensive non-factor for the entire game...

HHB ekes out a victory over 7 Deadly 2-1.  My first stat up, Carnoslat, scores both TDs and gets MVP while Drogg boneheads four times and playfully slaps around a few skinks with no effect. 


first half started with a blitz and ezrast almost catching the ball he kicked off, then escaping my cage and almost running it in before i managed to shove his skink off pitch with a lucky frenzy.   once i had my claws back on the ball i was eventually able to get through ezrast's line thanks to guard and a few good hits before scoring on turn 8. second half kicked off with a touchback to ezrast,  whose s break tackle/block saurus effortlessly threw off a diving tackle skink and pummeled his way into the end zone for a early score.  it left me with enough time to recover and pound my way back into the end zone, where i almost lost the initiative with a trip (sure feet is worthless) but managed to recover it with a bit of luck and a good set of blocks.  final score on the 15th turn and we punched each other in a send off salute.

I think I deserve a new grief title here on the forum. Something like "GREEDY AS A NOOB".

You were right to hide behind The Secret World, Drew. You got crushed by the GREEN TIDE

Well my PC has arrived, and appears to work!  So I can once again play.  However, SirT, for week days the only viable time in the day for me to play a game starts at about 6 PM my time, which is 11 PM your time.  So if that works, we can try it the next few days.  If not, lets try and hit each other up Saturday or Sunday.

Reborne and I played. It was a 1-0 win in favor of me, although a lot of it had to do with Reborne catching a bad break late when he caught me in a mistake.

Whalers lose to Bleating 0-1, for a season record of 0-4 and lifetime 1-1-8.  Humans may have been a bad choice....

The first half was absolutely awful - injuries everywhere right off the bat and Griff the Star Player being fairly useless.  Then the Nurgles got greedy and tried to handoff the ball on the goal line and dropped it and failed to score.  So the second half started 0-0, and things actually started to turn around.  Griff got to be amazing twice, and if the humans had not been previously-thinned-to-eight they may have actually been able to pull it out (and avaia would regret that handoff for HIS LIFE).

But sadly outnumbered, the humans were finally scored on, and the game ended with another loss.  But at least the nurglebeast KOed himself on the last turn for some comic relief.

I was just trying to remedy the unskilled Warrior.  I figured if it failed, I still had another turn with +AG, extra arms dude and a reroll.  I probably should've known better...

I should be around to play this weekend (give or take a day). And I didn't exactly kick your butt last time - more that I had enough sense to get at least a couple of players away from the trees.

Well shit, we have a problem.  I'm in some very nice temporary housing/apartments, which give free internet.  However, that means I no longer have a personal router, or any control over ports.  So of course SirT and I just attempted to play, and when either of us tried to invite, we got the port blocked error.  Anybody else run into a situation like this and find a work around?  Strazos may have been put into these same apartments when he also joined the Foreign Service, so I'll message him to see if he knows anything.

I've just used my mobile as my Internet with some success for such times.

Yeah I have managed to play many BB games using tethered 3g from my phone.

Ruvaldt's presidents continue to elude me. Late tonight GMT, or early tomorrow could work, but I'll be unavailable tomorrow afternoon till Monday. What's your availability like Ruvaldt?

Sorry I haven't been available much, Eldaec.  50 hour weeks at work and the wife came in from out of town so I've had that going on.  I really lost track of time on this match.  Early tomorrow GMT would be late tonight for me, I think (-6 GMT).  I could conceivably sneak out of bed to play a Blood Bowl match, yeah.  How early is early tomorrow GMT?

Hmm, ok, I'll see if I can buy a mobile hotspot.  I imagine it could come in handy in my new line of work anyways.

I could set an alarm for 6am, so midnight with you.

Alternatively, could start a game as late as noon - so 6am for you.

Looks like Monday!  Or late Sunday for me.  I work from 7:00am to 6:00pmish, but if the game needs to be late at night that's fine.  I get up pretty early, actually, so if it was 5:00am for me that would be doable.

Ok, got my iPhone setup so it can be used as a mobile hotspot, though have to wait for verizon to enable the service.  Hopefully that means we can play Sunday sometime SirT.

Online now, but midnight UK time is about the latest I can do before collapsing. 5am would be 11am my time, something like that would be possible wednesday if we don't get it done beforehand.

I'll be home in two hours if you're still around.  Might be pretty late for you though, I think that's midnight or something similar.  Your mornings are possible for me also.  If we can't get together today that Wednesday noonish game is a good option.

Vampires schooled the Norse 0-2.  In other news, the sky is still blue  :why_so_serious:

Ymiron's G6 crew 0 - 2 Insatiable.

He did kill a Thrall though. Stupid Thrall.

Ermine Vermin 4
Ex-Presidents   1

Too late for a proper report.

But rolling 40% of my block dice as defender down helped.

EDIT : uploaded as day 1 because I suck at internets.

Woo! Always good to see the big guys go down especially against Skaven!  :heart:

Brutal match.  I've never been knocked down by Skaven like that.

Eldaec took me down a peg after an 11 game regular season winning streak.  I walk away from the match pretty happy though; I leveled some goats and got Calvin Coolidge several steps closer to his own pair of claws.  Every dark cloud has a silver lining and all that. 

Eldaec played the better game though, awesome block dice or no.  I hope to meet up with the Vermin again in the playoffs.

Needs more deaths!

I killed one of his linemen.  Does that count?

Dead Rats Do Not Count.

Sad but True.

That linerat had set up both my first half touchdowns with a blitz to make way for Cheddar Persille's trademark 13 MA sprints to the line.

He will be missed.

All games played so far have been validated and Hordes division has been advanced to Day 5. We are waiting for the Teleku v SirT match before the other divisions can be advanced. Going to give it as a 0-0 tie unless there's a firm commitment to get it played in the next day or so.

For the record I'm out camping this weekend with lots of Whisky so I'm out for Day 5 when Teleku and SirT is sorted

I will be available any time after 5:30'ish eastern time the next few days.  That's a bit late for SirT though, so not sure if it will work for him.  Also need to test out this hotspot stuff, so I'll post if there is any issues with that.

Sorry for the delay, I finally got my hotspot stuff setup (I purchased the stupid service from Verizon on the weekend, but then it took them several days to activate the damn thing).  Tested it with a random game in auld world league, and it worked fine.  So I'm good to go from here.

Not sure if we'll be able to get a game in before Friday evening though.  Looks like he may have logged off for the evening tonight.  I'm free in my evenings, but its around 10:30 PM SirT's time when I get home everyday.  I really don't want to force him to stay up late for a game, so might have to wait till Friday/Saturday if its inconvenient for him.  If that is a big issue, then you can go ahead and just tie us I guess.

 :facepalm:

I need to know today that it will be played by Saturday.

We shall hopefully play in about 15 minutes.

Welp.

Apparently they use different web code to connect players on private league games than they do with the public league games.  Still getting the same error with my connection when trying to play SirT, no matter who invites.  I'm out of ideas, so go ahead and award SirT the win, and advance the day.

For that matter, looks like I'll probably have to drop out of the league unless somebody has any final ideas.  I can't see any way for me to get access to a connection where I can do port forwarding, or port 16962 isn't apparently blocked (is it possible to port forward on the iPhone?  Google isn't helping after a quick glance).

So....yeah.

Only the host needs to forward their ports.  As long as you're able to play against people who can forward their ports and send you invites to the game from here on out you should be fine.  I played in the first two or three seasons from a graduate dorm and I had no control over port forwarding; everyone was just nice enough to forward their ports and send me challenges.

I don't forward ports, and I've hosted tons of games. There's something strange with their net code for sure.

I invited him and no dice.

Alright, I'm going to award it as a 0-0 draw as there was an effort to play from both sides.

Sounds fair.

Yeah, I had forwarded my ports at my old place.  Had no problems playing games.  I'm assuming SirT is still on the same setup hes been playing at the start of the season, and he hasn't had any problems.  Then I move and try to play a game, and keep getting the error that port 16962 is blocked and we cant connect.  So obviously its on my end.  But yeah, no idea how to handle it, as my only option for internet is provided for us at this facility.  You would think the iPhone would work because its not going through a router or anything, but it still gave me that error (though again, I tested it on a match in the public Auld World league, and it worked...).

Guess I can test it on who ever I play next, though I'm sure the same results will happen.  Hopefully I can think of some work arounds within the next game days time.

Or perhaps Cyanide could try to find somebody not French, retarded, or both, to code their game?

Hit me up at some point for feeder league games Teleku, maybe we can figure out what's going on there.

The problem I've had occaisionally is when my phone or some other device grabs the internal IP that my PC is usually on.

The incoming connection is set up pointing to an IP and I've had problems when that becomes the wrong IP.



Your issue might be completely different of course.

i think there's something up with Sir T's connection too, tho - i had the same problem when i went up against him a season or two ago and i can't remember if we managed to resolve it or not.  my guess is that whatever it is, its at the ISP level.

Yes, their net code sucks monkey balls dipped in hollendaise sauce.

*ignore this post like a dufus I posted the write up in the wrong day.
