Title: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: IainC on April 19, 2013, 07:09:15 PM Alrighty. last day of the regular season, after this we go into the high-octane drama that is the Playoffs and the Failoffs.
To remind youall how this works, the top four in each division go through to a Playoff tournament and the bottom four go into the Failoffs. These will be separate leagues so once the league is over, you will need to quit Season 7 and then join one of the two new leagues. These are both 16 team knockout events so you will play one, two or three matches depending on your progress. I will try and set them up using Falc's template. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3584773/Playoff%20picture%20season%20X%20final.jpg) Battletech = 40k Cthulhu = Hail Caesar Stormbringer = Hordes Twilight 2000 = Tamurkhan This structure works for both the Playoffs and the Failoffs. Ties are handled as follows: Head to head results (in the case of a 3 or more way tie, all points from matches between the involved coaches are counted) TD Difference TDs against The caring hand of Nuffle (I will randomise based on some verifiable future event). Here are your day 6 results: (http://i.imgur.com/hU1p06m.jpg) And the day 7 fixtures: (http://i.imgur.com/VKUTBO8.jpg) The deadline for these games is Tuesday 30th April. Please do your best to get them done in time. Rankings: 40k (http://i.imgur.com/6PO4W7i.jpg) Playoff spots are locked in, Ulysees can go for a perfect score but there's nothing else but pride to play for in this division. Hail Caesar (http://i.imgur.com/Yw5VfbQ.jpg) Ramas and Ruvaldt are safe but the last two playoff spots are still up for grabs. Avaia and Haemish can book their places with a win regardless of the other results. Beyond that it gets murky with a potential three way tie if Gruntle beats Haemish and Jasper beats Gort. If that happened then Gruntle (4 points) would win, Haemish (3 points) would be second and Jasper (1 point) would come third. Jasper can still make it if he wins vs Gort and either Haemish or Ramas win their games though. If Avaia loses he can be out of the playoffs if Gruntle and Jasper both score wins, plus there's another potential three way tie if both of those coaches draw their games. Hordes (http://i.imgur.com/jdVWIu3.jpg) Nothing to see here. Playoffs are already decided, only the order can change. Tamurkhan (http://i.imgur.com/4BK8Far.jpg) Lamaros and I are through, the last two spots have 4 teams chasing them though. All four coaches are playing each other too which makes the last day particularly interesting. The winners of Proudft v Ezrast and Ingmar v R3dknight will go through. If there are any draws though it gets a bit more complex. If R3dknight draws he is through, Ingmar needs to beat him to take a playoff spot. If R3dknight loses and the Proudft v Ezrast game is a draw then there is a 3 way tie for fourth which R3dknight would win with 4 points over Proudft (2 points) and Ezrast (1 point). If the Proudft v Ezrast match ends in a draw then we will in fact have to resort to the randomiser as both teams have the same TD difference and the same number of TDs against.

Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: willisterman on April 20, 2013, 12:02:01 AM Drogg, I think currently you are 9 hours earlier than me. That means either an early morning game for me, 6-7AM being 9-10PM for you, or an evening game for me, morning game for you. 5-9PM BST, 8am-12noon GMT -8. The latter is easier for me, and as it's the weekend, hopefully that'll be good for you too?

Post by: satael on April 20, 2013, 02:13:04 AM Fildigar, since I'm gmt+2 and I assume you are pst (or est) it will probably have to be during this weekend or some (late) night for you (and early wake for me which means I need a day or two time to schedule it but it's doable on any day except Monday morning for me). If I'm on steam (and not set to busy) then I'm available to play.

When can the Ermine ones come out and play? Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: satael on April 20, 2013, 09:04:01 AM 2-0 loss for me to end a painful season. You know it's gonna be a fun game when it starts with a blitz that let's your opponent get a player under the ball and when a player dies on turn 2 (apo'ed to mng). The highlight of the second half was that Fildrigar actually had 12 players on the field...

Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: IainC on April 20, 2013, 09:23:56 AM Do you have BBManager installed (you should)?
Edit, I see it has been uploaded. Double click on your game and you'll get the details in a separate window. Edit edit: For the 12 player bug, the usual thing if you notice it before kickoff is to move one of your players to a corner and leave him there for the rest of the drive.

Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: lamaros on April 20, 2013, 06:10:59 PM The Skaven and Underworld work out the cobwebs before the finals, neither side sustaining any injuries that will harm their cause. Fit rosters are ready to go!
Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: IainC on April 20, 2013, 06:50:13 PM What a game! I was alternately about to FLIP ALL THE TABLES and then had my heart in my mouth while my team pulled off perfectly choreographed bullshit.
I won the toss and made Lamaros receive first. He got the ball, held it back and started bashing to no particular effect. I put a bit of pressure on the ball by moving a couple of Gutter Runners around into his half, then pushed back without achieving much. This continued for a bit but the Underworld team were the only side with Block and this started to make a difference with several Rats including Secretly A Unicorn being knocked out in the first few turns. Best formed a proper cage and started to fight their way down towards the touchline. Eventually they made it to the end and castled up until their last turn when they walked it over to start the scoreboard ticking. We set back up for my last turn and Lamaros had a panic when the ref added a turn due to a riot. I moved some Rats forwards to act as receivers, grabbed the ball and prepared for a Wood Elf play in my next turn. The Underworld marked everyone up and waited to see if I could make a bunch of D6 rolls. I blitzed a dodge path for a Gutter Runner - he was still marked but at Agi 5 and with Catch I was reasonably happy about him making a catch under pressure - then I moved my thrower up. At the limit of his regular move he had a 4+ pass but if I made a GfI that went to a 3+ and naturally he had pass so a 75% chance of completion went to 87%. I not only failed the GfI but also injured the thrower in the process. That was the end of the first half. For the second half, I was down to 9 players versus a full 11 Underworlders although Secretly A Unicorn took one out immediately. I was holding the ball back to get a good hand-off and run play going as I couldn't realistically hold a cage together with the unskilled Linerats and Str 2 Gutter Runners that I had available to me. Next turn I had a clear Gutter Runner within range so I moved Let Me Show You My Fursuit up next to a Linerat for cover in case I fumbled the 3+ pass with an AGI5 Gutter Runner and then fumbled the pass, burnt a reroll and fumbled it all over again. The Underworld mobbed the ball and pushed the rats away but couldn't pick it up themselves. I pushed a Goblin onto the ball to knock it out of the press of Underworlders, dodged a Rat away and then fluffed the pickup. This time the Underworld took no chances, flattening all the Rats in range before picking the ball up and running it down to hand it off to a Goblin. Despite the best efforts of the Underworld I did manage to get a Gutter Runner blitz on the ball but only managed a push. Next turn the Underworld rescued their ball carrier and took it over the line to go 2-0 up with four turns to go. This time both teams were short of players although I still had the worse end of it with 8 players on the pitch to the Underworld's 10. Again though I managed to injure another one in my first turn to even the numbers a bit. I had nothing to do except push guys forwards and hope that there was someone worth passing to on my next turn. The Underworld did what they could, but after a strategic block, I had a handoff to a marked Gutter Runner who then needed to make a dodge and a GfI to score. Much to my surprise that worked and I was now back in reach of a draw at least. The fourth drive started with only two turns each on the clock. Secretly a Unicorn was injured by the Troll who managed to KO himself in the process. After a bit of deliberation I decided to use my Apothecary to keep the Rat Ogre in the game which turned out to be pointless in the end. The Underworld then went for a pass to put the game out of reach but fluffed the catch deep in my half and on my very last turn I was able to just about get my Sure Hands Gutter Runner to the ball, pick it up, throw it past a couple of Underworlders and catch it with a marked Gutter Runner who then dodged away and scored to tie the game at the bitter end. There was one more Underworld turn to play but without their Troll they had no 1 turn TD to play for so they contented themselves with beating the crap out of the sacrificial Line Rats and that was the match.

Game played! Tough match. Draw with no permanent injuries. Just couldn't quite overcome his bashyness. He also had over ONE MILLION GOLD (/DrEvil) in inducements, which hurt a bit. But on the plus side, I got 3 phone numbers from cute girls, including the number of a polish college student (philosophy major) whom some Texan douche bag English teacher brought with him to the bar. He sat next to me, and proceeded to go off on California, AND my accent, for awhile. Though he kept getting a bitter look on his face when the polish girl kept mentioning how nice California sounded. Then he went to go stand in line for the bathroom. During the time it took him, I managed to get his cute polish girls number and promise to meet up for drinks and dinner later this week. So I really don't care about the results of this match anyways! :why_so_serious: (http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=227655&lang=enp) Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Modern Angel on April 21, 2013, 02:05:48 PM Teleku has a gameplan and, by god, he sticks to it. With the SPP differential, it really was going to take some luck on my side to actually pull it out, preferably in the form of failed dodges as he set up his away from the ball marking. I started slowly getting those in the second half, but the first half was a story of just not being able to break through because the elf dodging was SO GOOD.
Even then, I very nearly scored. In fact, I would have scored on turn 8 if I'd handed the ball off to Morg instead of a dwarf; the dwarf promptly failed his GFI roll in the endzone, of course. I mean, I wanted the SPP, but I really should have wanted the win more. Really kicking myself. I'm happy with a draw, though. Teleku is an extremely disciplined player. Hard to break down.

This game was lost as much because of how badly my team got hurt in that game with Ruvaldt as with anything else. Even 2 games ago, the losses I took there were pretty major. One less high level gutter runner would have made a difference because Gruntle definitely targeted the runners on the field and as a result they spent most of the game down, KO'ed or injured. Though I did give him 2 injuries (1 lingering injury on someone), he gave me 3 and by the 2nd half, I had 3 rats on the pitch. When he scored his final TD, it was after 2 turns of us both just ending the turn with no actions because I had nothing I could do without risking injuring another rat. Skaven bullshit was constantly shortcut by brute force as I feared. Well-played game on his part that I just could never get a good foothold in after my first score. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Jasper on April 21, 2013, 03:16:28 PM How about Monday at 6pm PST, 9pm EST?

On the other hand they're much less likely to bash a rat's face in, so I'm just fine with you switching to an all Goblin line! Well, provided it doesn't come with a Chainsaw and another Troll.

A crazy match. The Brewers received and swiftly took 6 players off the field, but lost the ball after a breakthrough dash by their Thrower, leaving the raiders an outside chance to run the length of the field for a score. That failed though, and in the ensuing scramble Raiders were /just/ barely able to prevent a Brewer score in the first half. In the second half the Raiders started with 6 vs. 11, facing a perfect defense, a failed pickup on a deep kick, and soon were without any Runners on the field. Somehow, miracously, with the aid of a few bad Blitzburg rolls and some lateral movement and despite a failed hand off they managed to break away for the endzone and stall for a turn 16 TD with just one rat standing. The clock was then setback with the Raiders only fielding 5 players, but the Brewers were unable to convert on a Troll Toss. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: IainC on April 22, 2013, 07:43:39 PM So even I lose, I make the play-off or something? :awesome_for_real: Yes. If you win or draw you come third, if you lose you come fourth as you beat both Proudft and Ezrast in the triple tie-break.Ingmar, we can try in 10 hours or maybe weekend. I'm GMT+8 Ezrast and Proudft, your tie break will be as follows. The next one of you to post below may call Odd or Even. If neither of you post in time then I'll arbitrarily give Ezrast odd and Proudft even. Tonight (Tuesday 23rd April) the first ball listed in the Euromillions lottery draw will determine who wins the tie. The result will be shown here (http://www.euro-millions.com/results.asp) once the draw is made. To be clear, the 'first ball' means the first listed on that page (in numerical order) and not the first one out of the machine. Note that if R3dknight loses against Ingmar then the tiebreak changes because it is now a three way tie. R3dknight has 4 points (beat Ezrast, drew with Proudft), Proudft has 2 points (drew with both R3dknight and Ezrast) and Ezrast has 1 point (drew with Proudft, lost to R3dknight) so in that case, R3dknight comes fourth in the division, Proudft comes 5th and Ezrast comes in at 6th.

I hired Bomber Dribblesnot and when he cooperated he was a gamebreaker. When he didn't cooperate he was, again, a gamebreaker!! Early in his reign he wiped out a bunch of Ratlings, then I relied on him too much and he bombed one of my Black Orcs and then himself! Nuffle sure finds a way to even out. Early in the game I was up at least 2 players to 1, but late in the game I rolled countless straight 1s in an stream of epic failures that Jasper capitalized on and scored in 2 turns, with ... 2 rats? Maybe 4 but most were on the turf! Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

Post by: Ingmar on April 22, 2013, 10:22:59 PM At this point I have no idea; I had high expectations of playing a bunch of matches getting to use inducements to make up for my relative inexperience with Necromantic teams and my undeveloped players, so basically nothing at all has gone as expected this season!
My plan is to win though, yes, and now that RK is automatically in the playoffs maybe he'll play super defensively to protect himself from the power of SINIJ. :why_so_serious: EDIT: If it comes down to it I could possibly do an alarm clock game; I don't think a forfeit would be good since it has a direct effect on the playoff picture and it isn't your fault you live in a cave on the Kamchatka Peninsula with bears and stuff. Or whatever that time zone is. If I have to play at 4-5 am though I am probably going to have a harder time playing well. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

Schpain came so close to having his first win when I managed to score on the last turn, thanks to Sid Vicious (my ball carrying ogre) who put in a grand effort all game.

(http://i.imgur.com/aI6lgoX.png) My injury dice were really, really good in this one - RK was playing with fewer guys on the field for most of the game, which negated his guard advantage, which was my main worry coming into the game. KO wakeup rolls were good for both sides - at one point RK had 4 guys all wake up on the same kickoff, without any Bloodweiser babe help. The rain caused some problems for both sides with pickup rolls. Permanent injuries: - my loser ghoul died on a failed dodge roll - one of his catchers has a fractured skull (-AV) - Fractured arm on a human lineman but I think that's just a MNG and not a niggle. He also apothecaried to save a different catcher from -str. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Ingmar on April 27, 2013, 10:45:54 AM Let's welcome our replacement ghoul:

Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Celer on April 28, 2013, 07:45:07 AM The Chemical Elvers and The Bell Jar Utd. fought to a 2-2 draw that (most importantly) did not cause any lasting injuries to the playoff-bound elves. It was supposed to be a game of keep-away, but they ended up really working for that tie though, and got some great elf BS in.
The +ST/+AG elf was MNG for this one, and as the elves kicked off a stray rock BH a Thrower. The second Thrower was BH a couple turns later as the Amazons did a nice job pushing down the field. They split the elves up, got the ball in a tight little cage, and pushed in for the early lead. The elves got some good block dice on their possession and were able to immediately burst through the lady-line and get a few receivers in range for what became a 2-turn TD just before halftime (despite the lack of a proper thrower). The second-half elven offensive was spoiled by a Perfect Defense that was... well perfect for the Amazons. The elves were stymied at the line as the ball sat on their own goal line for a couple turns. Some pressure was applied and it caused a mistake, as the elves left the ball uncovered, and a Dodge/pick-up/GFI later they'd given up a defensive TD. The next kickoff started with the girls remaining on their feet and pressing forward toward the ball (this time leaving the receivers uncovered). One made an incredible Dodge/GFI/GFI 1D Blitz against a Blodger with the ball that put the elf ball-carrier on the ground, and things looked grim. But that elf WOULD NOT BE DENIED, as he picked himself up, had a Dodge/GFI/GFI of his own (with a pick-up in the middle), and was able to hand the ball off to another make-shift passer. The last-ditch interception failed, and the elves equalized to end the game. I meant to play this very conservatively, but you know how it is once you get in-game. If one of those silly GFIs had broken someones neck I would have cried... but as it stands, all elf players are ready for Round 1 of the playoffs, and 2 of them will have shiny new skills!

Post by: luckton on April 28, 2013, 09:04:54 AM At the very least, I had the funds to replace my dead, and Zerker's start off with a strong skill set. He was bound to die eventually with the -AV injury that he carried for the longest time. Also, my pet yhetee picked up Mighty Blow.
Guard is OP, rabble, rabble, rabble. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: luckton on April 28, 2013, 09:17:56 AM I'm just saying it should work like Tackle; regardless of how many Guards are around, only one gets to contribute to the Block attempt per side.

I was like "Well...yeah, but... :heartbreak: Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

Play off spot with 1900+ TV necro that is fully loaded with an array of Blodge, Tackle, Strip Ball, Sure Hands, Guard Golems with Block. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

Not sure why no Tackle yet. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Ingmar on April 28, 2013, 09:34:52 PM Had to get everyone block first, almost none of them started with it (in retrospect I kind of wish I'd given a couple zombies wrestle instead though.) I'd have tackle on Sinij if he hadn't rolled doubles.

Post by: Ulysees on April 29, 2013, 03:23:51 AM Apologies to my opponent Carnifex but I am going to have to forfeit my match as I won't be able to play during the week and next weekend I am away visiting family so the joys of a transatlantic competition mean that for the first time I am most definately not going to be able to schedule my match within the time limit or indeed even if given a weeks extension (since it doesn't affect the playoffs in my division I don't see the point of asking for a 2 week extension which delays the start of the main event).
So if IainC is ok with it then I forfeit my match for this round. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Llyse on April 29, 2013, 08:13:11 AM I DEMAND both Lizard teams bash each other to PULP
Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Teleku on April 29, 2013, 10:00:34 AM Oh yeah, FYI, I'm leaving for my trip to Vienna and Prague tommorrow. I won't be back till Sunday night. So, no games for me till then.

There can be only one. /highlander Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: IainC on April 29, 2013, 10:34:30 AM I'm fine with a forfeit, it does change the rankings for the playoffs however but not in a way that affects who is going or staying.
With the forfeit, Carnifex goes to 2nd in the division as he beats Megrim in a tie (the head to head was a tie but Carnifex has a TD difference of +9 while Megrim has +5). For comparison's sake, if the game had been played and Carnifex lost he would have been 4th as Celer beat him in the head to head, if the game was a tie then Carnifex would be 3rd.

We also have a major dirty-minded Brit shortage? Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: lamaros on April 29, 2013, 03:42:59 PM Unfortunately I have a major tackle shortage. How did this go unremarked? I thought it was deliberate and you don't reward those who set themselves up thusly. As stated earlier, I am just fine with playing Celer instead of Carnifex, so forfeit away!! (also it seems like there is no viable other option). Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Sjofn on April 29, 2013, 04:06:05 PM Ruvaldt and I tied, 0-0. BEST GAME OF THE SEASON WOOOOOOOOO
Only one real injury, my level 3 lineman, Buff Drinklots, broke his hip. He also hogged the MVP, because it's not like I wanted that on my shitty werewolf or anything (to be fair, his lack of block only caused one turnover today, and it was one that didn't hurt me). Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Ruvaldt on April 29, 2013, 04:09:58 PM The First Ladies 0 - 0 The Mutiny
A pretty unremarkable game in which I just couldn't get anything going. It seemed like all I could do was push the brawny norsemen around the pitch all match. There was a brief moment at the end of the second half in which I thought I had her when I finally used my wizard, but it was for naught. Even Eleanor couldn't gallop fast enough to score in the end. Highlights of the game include my mino getting knocked down by three of his own blitzes on both down/both down or skull. He ended up just getting injured on round 9, and that was probably for the best. At least he couldn't embarrass himself anymore. It was a good game, and I hope Sjofn goes into the Failoffs feeling a bit refreshed after a game in which Nuffle didn't kick her while she was down. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Sjofn on April 29, 2013, 04:19:53 PM Even when you could knock me over, you weren't getting anything meaner than a stun for the most part. That +str centaur is a pain in the butt, I'm glad I managed to throw enough bodies in the way to slow her down in the first half. :P
Actually looking forward to the failoffs now, now that I have remembered that sometimes the dice are kind. I'm like a fucking battered housewife. Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Ingmar on April 29, 2013, 04:20:29 PM And now you're going to beat up on Falc's feminists! That just ain't right.

:-o Title: Re: Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown! Post by: Ingmar on April 29, 2013, 05:22:14 PM Exactly like the playoffs, except using the 5-8 seeds as the 1-4 seeds for the matchups. Single elimination.
