Title: Season 8 Day 1. Let's Get It On!
Post by: IainC on November 30, 2013, 02:24:47 PM
And by 'it' I obviously mean Blood Bowl!

Here are the fixtures for Day 1. The seeding video is available here (http://youtu.be/e0AAsXkys5I) for those of you who want to watch me mumble into a webcam for ten minutes or so..

The deadline for these games is Monday 9th December. Please make sure that you have played your game by that date.

Remember that the winner must upload the game to BBManager after the match before it will be validated. I've created an f13 Season 8 league in there with the same password as the ingame league (fearchange)

Good luck all!

We'll get this season going with some blood, as Rebourne and I try to paint the field red.
Akin to a sacrifice for a bountiful harvest, we may hope to offer at least a death on each
side for a rich and rewarding season to come.

 :oh_i_see:




Stabby, I live in Poland with Polen ball currently.  Where do you live?  Since chances are that our time zones are very different, we should probably try to play Sunday, or else we will have to wait till next weekend.  Granted, I'm posting this at 4 AM Sunday polish time after spending the evening in a club built in the catacombs beneath the Warsaw opera house, so it may have to be later in the day for me.....

Hey guys! The league's up and running now, oh goody! Let's take a quick peek at where I am and - :ye_gods:

... aww cwaaap.


Oh, hi Teleku. Currently in the more eastern side of Canada (should be 11pm-ish for me as I hit 'Post'), and unfortunately tomorrow won't be good as I've just been informed that I shall be entertaining company (always the last to know somewhow), and there's no way I could spare the time for a game.

Bright side though, so far I've got a 50/50 chance of getting this Friday off from class, so that should give some ease in scheduling a game.

0-3 defeat for theorists. The game started with the humans taking out a beastman (niggling injury) on the first roll of the game followed by a chaos warrior being ko'd (until turn 15) with the second roll.  :oh_i_see:
Other highlights for the chaos team included a failed GFI (with a reroll used) leading to the death of a level 2 beastman (apo didn't help).
While the score wasn't terrible when the first half ended I was down 6 players when the second half started.  :why_so_serious:

Eastern time is actually good, stabby.  I'm 5 hours ahead, which means I should be able to catch you for a game at around 11 pm my time (6 pm your time) before I got to bed, any night of the week.  Assuming you work a 9 to 5 type job.

If so, just message me with a night you'll be open, and we can go from there.  Think I'm mostly free this week.

Well for our part, it'll be a poor harvest this season; no deaths. 6 injuries on the Wrestler side (5 snotlings and 1 ogre, all badly hurt) and 2 for the Helmets (chaos warrior and a beastman, also only badly hurt). There were red splotches on a lot of the field but nothing more serious. We both got to level someone.

The match score was 1-2 with the Helmets taking the lead in the first half on a failed 1-turn score snotling toss attempt which Reborne perfected in the last turn putting up his solitary point with a perfect balled up snotling toss (well, last turn but for the riot that added a turn to the clock).

I am still at work until after midnight your time on weekdays, so I think it will have to be Saturday. Pretty much free all day, so maybe around noon my time which is 8 or 9 your time? Alternately late Saturday evening my time would be your Sunday morning.

The First Ladies 2 - 0 Effing Elves

Strazos wisely chose an apothecary and some Bloodweiser Babes with his 190k inducements.  I lost the coin toss and Strazos elected to receive.  I actually remembered to use my kicker this time and I got a nice bounce close to the LOS along with a Perfect Defense.  I didn't calculate Strazos' guard properly though and I actually set him up with some pretty juicy dwarven targets.  In his first turn he picked up the ball, formed a nice cage, and knocked down a lot of my dwarves.  I was able to recover, knock around some elves, and blitz with my star centaur in my first turn.  After that it all got a little crazy.

Strazos made a tidy hole in my defenses while badly injuring my +STR centaur ball-handler, and put his Witch ball-holder close the sidelines on my side of the field.  I managed to surround him a bit, and after two turns I surfed a blitzer and knocked down the witch, but the ball was tossed back in deep into my territory with nary a dwarf in sight.  Strazos nearly got an elf on the ball, but failed his GFI while taking the last step and I was able to pick it up with my other centaur.  Over the next four turns I ran upfield, screening with my dwarves who were already midfield.

Over the first half I inflicted two injuries and a death, though one of the injuries was called back and the death was turned into a wounded knee.  I also KO'd three, including the Witch.  Going into the second half things looked pretty grim for Strazos.

I received the ball and a riot ensued.  I went through my turn, picking up the ball, and on Strazos' 10th turn he forfeited the match.  Can't say I blame him.  I had KOd or injured a lot of his blitzers and what was left were very vulnerable linemen that I was planning to gobble up for SPPs.  It was a valiant effort on Strazos' part, but I think there might be a little rust left from his African safari.  I'm sure he'll return to form soon, and he didn't sustain any terrible long-term injuries other than the wounded knee.

Bleating defeats Burrowing Beetles 1-0.

I am rusty, missing a blitz-ra and thro-ra and kicker, and was down by a few or more players for much of the game (and two tomb guardians for a lot of my offensive "drive"), but the game was not nearly as bad as I had feared.   The Khemri are like a pair of old musty comfortable shoes.  I missed these slow bastards.  

Nobody died, thanks to a 100% regeneration roll success rate.

The Beast was incredibly stupid, that helped.  When avaia uploads it, I look forward to seeing just how many Stupid rolls it missed.

Beast was 8/14 on stupid rolls, and always had a friend with the exception of two rolls, on which he went 1/2.  5 1s of the other 12, it happens...

I killed two in the first two turns, but they both made the regen rolls.  Everybody made their regen rolls all game long, and everyone made their KO rolls.

I got a goat to level 6, hooray?

Aw crap, my bad. Must have missed in the rush! You need an avatar!

East coast us is hmm NY is 8 hours ahead of me, a day behind (16 hours behind). So I'd say the best bet is early my Sunday which would be your Saturday arvo. Anything from 9am-1pm my time / 5-9pm your time works for me. Possibly we could also try the same on my sat / your Friday night.

Otherwise we'd be looking at late evening. For me super early for you: 11pm / 7am.

Fursecution 1 - 2 Family of Twitch

Very close game with the usual end-to-end Skaven craziness. Most turns one side or the other was threatening a breakout TD. Jaedar opted to receive and got a bunch of rats behind my line. We both pushed each other around to limited effect and then he made his play, moving to a sideline to throw to an unmarked receiver. The thrower fluffed the catch and I came in mob handed to clear it up. Surfed the thrower off the pitch and formed a partial cage to protect my thrower against the sideline. I pushed forwards and got the ball out to a linerat who could score, stalled for a turn to try and head off an equaliser and scored on turn 5.

We set up again and this time he left his thrower open with the ball to an extreme range Gutter Runner blitz, I only got a push though and he easily dodged away to a clear space where he could pass it to an open rat in my backfield. Once again though Jaedar's thrower fluffed the throw. This time I wasn't able to cover it so well but I was able to bring the two Gutter Runners who'd been marking him before to blitz again and surf him off the pitch. That plan worked perfectly right up to the point where I rolled block dice, double skulls and no reroll gave the initiative back to Jaedar. There was a bit of a scuffle as Jaedar failed a pick up in his next turn and I made a rather pointless play to swoop in and grab the ball. I hadn't realised that it was the last turn so I went to set up for a score on my next turn rather than beating up his team.

The second half was just as exciting. I set up for a standard run/throw play and got a bunch of rats in his backfield. Jaedar covered them all but I felt good about the pass anyway, threw to a marked rat and his marker made the interception. From there he snapped it back and carried it over my line to even the score quickly. Still plenty of time to play however so I set up again and held back for a bit longer to avoid the possibility of another interception. My thrower had a couple of guys on him but I cleared those away, then cleared the markers on my chosen receiver. I wasn't paying attention to the clock however and while I was trying to figure out the best spot to move and throw to, I ran out of time giving Jaedar a gold-plated opportunity to mug my catcher and take the ball within a few squares of my line. He took it of course and scored again after holding out for a turn or two.

Last drive and I had two turns to make it a tie - definitely possible but I needed Nuffle to smile on me. Got my receivers clear, moved the thrower into place for a 4+ pass (with Pass) to a catcher with Catch but he fumbled the pass and that was the game.

Could have turned out very differently due to a lot of critically failed rolls on both sides and a stupid mistake from me.

We both got a level up out of it and no serious injuries on either side.

Interesting... well, just messaged you on Steam, but on the offchance you're currently passed out and drooling on your keyboard I'll just mention that I've got a day off tomorrow and am completely free if you're up for an afternoon game (your time of course). Right now my brain is fried at the moment (well, more so that is) from exams, and a burnt piece of toast could probably beat me at BB, so we're on equal footing if you do want to play today.

Also, do pardon the quiet from me yesterday, 'twas a bad day in stabby-land. I'll spare everyone the details and proceed to directly say it's probably RK's fault, though he probably doesn't know what I'm going about.

A game was played.  Elven master race wins again, of course.

(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=262812&lang=en)

Stabby played well, only making a few newbie mistakes.  The biggest being attempting to foul one of my wardancers with a werewolf at the start of the game, which fouled said wolf out for the remainder of it.  He also had some bad dice rolls (2 double skulls to my 1, ect), being unable to knock my guys down or injure them to much.  On the flip side, he wisely chose a halfing master chef with his 900'ish god damned indictments, who promptly stole half of my re-rolls each round.  This prevented me from doing to much elven bullshit even when I had the opportunity, keeping the score a modest 2-0.  If he can get those wolves leveled, he should be a serious threat to even veteran players.

Woah minute mon oncle Tom, let's get our facts straight here. It was a zombie who was kicked out from foulin' your 'dancer, and that was on turn 5 or so.

Oh my dear lord, you are correct!  Your vital werewolf was indeed fouled out of the game on the first turn for attempting to foul my AV 10 Treeman.  I deeply apologize for the smear on your honor.

Don't mind me, just not one to back away and cover up my own quirks & quibbles.

Oh, and as I didn't noticed this at the time (in hindsight, naming everyone 'Stan Bush' does make it a little hard to keep track of who's who), it seems that Nuffle appreciates ambition, restless enthusiasm, and a good ol' Can Do! attitude, as guess which one of my little doggies ended up getting MVP?  :facepalm:

Me and willisterman played our game, the BridgeBurners won 2-1 against his Keep Rolling!, mostly due to some very lucky werewelf bs. One of my zombies got an MNG, one got BH and two of his dwarves got BH as well.

I got a blitz on the kick off which I turned into a very lucky turn 2 TD to get his deathroller off the pitch. My second touchdown came on turn 8 and involved two dodges, one of them into a tackle zone and a pick up that I had to reroll. Willisterman was a good sport about it, but it seemed like whenever I really needed a good roll I got it. he played a good, solid game, but I outlucked him.

The Minizilla's 4 - The Banned 1

I got a very nufflicious re-introduction to bloodbowl tonight with the blood bowl god smiling on me and not making me pull my hair out in frustration as I only failed 1 roll all match and that was a non critical turn over and my skinks handling and dodging was top notch making multiple 3 tile dodges when they needed to. Ingmar had 400k inducements and went for the star Vampire and some Budweiser babes, of which the babes probably earned their corn more than the star player unfortunately for Ingmar.

I won the toss and elected to kick first and hit a deep kick-off that Ingmars sure hands ghoul managed to fumble on the pick up allowing me to swarm skinks up the pitch with the hope of putting pressure on the carrier in the next turn. I duly got my wish and things got even better as I got a couple of Saurus to join the pressure and though Ingmar tried to make his carrier safe he didn't manage to get out of his own half, finally failing a dodge to my Krox's prehensile tail and I swooped a skink in for the opening score on turn 5.

Ingmar received the kick again and went for a strong left side push, helped out by a disgruntled fan hurling a rock at one of my Saurus on that side of the pitch making the chances of punching a hole through with his MA8 werewolves quite likely on the next turn. Unfortunately for Ingmar my break tackle Saurus made his dodge then 2 GFI's and scored the required POW to spill the ball, which then allowed me to use a skink with GFI's to make a cage behind Ingmar's main line. Next turn there was not a whole lot to do for The Banned as there was no hope of getting his players behind me to make a proper defence so after marking my cage corners Ingmar attempted a dodge into the cage to sack the carrier that failed and let me run in a turn 7 score for a 2 - 0 lead going into half time.

In the second half I set myself up for my standard 2 turn score play and though Ingmar hit a very nice close kick the pickups and hand offs all work so I am now in a sideline cage in score range with a lot of Saurus's free to beat up on the rest of The Banned. I didn't figure on the star Vamp who finally started to earn some of his pay by Hypno gazing a cage corner and allowing a blitz on the carrier, unfortunately Ingmar didn't realise he needed a pow so chose not to re-roll a defender stumbles and seeing as this setup wasn't as safe as I though with that damn Vamp on the pitch I ran in a third score on turn 9.

Turn 10 see's Ingmar KO my main threat Saurus Xhoqtl, the mighty blow, frenzy stand firm tackle monster who so far had actually done very little and would take no further part in the match. I patch a makeshift defence up and get markers on the ball carrier twice and though I do get 1 opportunity to blitz the ghoul dodge saves him and on turn 13 Ingmar scores his first of the match. I setup again for a quick score and the play works fine for a 4-1 lead. it almost didn't as Nuffle gifted a Blitz to Ingmar, but luckily for me he hit a long kick rather than a short one, if he had got the ball I would have struggled to get it back since I had loaded one side of the pitch with Saurus and had only skinks on the side the ball landed, fortunately for me I blitzed a covering werewolf and made the pick ups and hand offs to skuttle up the pitch for a turn 15 score.

With only 1 turn left I leave the mandatory 3 on the LOS and put every other player by the touchline and then the ref decides to move the clock back a turn which gives Ingmar a second opportunity to claw up a LOS saurus and my Krox, luckily no harm is done and the match ends with an opening day victory for the Lizardmen.

Ingmar played a solid game as usual but his star player let him down in the first half by not really accomplishing much and failing a couple of key hypnotic gazes and he wasn't helped by the fact that nuffle smiled on me tonight with all my critical rolls working every time so the difference in TV's told over the course of the match. I had 1 badly hurt Skink and Ingmar lost both Flesh Golems, one to a MNG and also a zombie kicker to MNG. Match is submitted on BBmanager.

Yep, just confirming that I did get the win for this. A pity to end like that, but I can't complain about the spp and cash. I'm sure Nuffle will slap me in the head later.

Surprisingly tense match. With only one point on the board for the entire game, every time the flings got the ball in amongst the trees, I was sweating over how I was going to get the ball back. Luckily for me, one of the trees managed to get separated somewhat, and wasn't able to fully rejoin the melee. Good luck to the Halflings in their next game!

Game went from the ball in my goblin's hand three squares from the endzone, two turns to go 1-1 on the board, to a bull centaur picking up the ball and making 5 GFIs over two turns to run out and score with the last action. Thrilling, tense and ultimately very very frustrating!

A match rather determined by the Sweltering Heat we rolled early on and which never dissipated. Wide open match with lots of bashes, missed rolls, and general mayhem on both sides. Chaos Dwarves won it on a last turn TD which easily could have gone to the Underworld with some not shit dodges at the end.

Post by: lamaros on December 07, 2013, 05:58:31 PM

The game was an interesting one, with neither side really getting a stronger presence on the pitch despite some strong bashing efforts at various points. Claw didn't do a whole lot, but then the dwarves found the goblins and rats harder to bash through than expected also, with the Troll playing a smart game and causing a bit of damage.

I was perhaps a little unlucky not to score in the first half, with a failed catch proving key, while MA picked up a few extra re-rolls on the kickoffs and snuck a slight advantage with the sweltering heat rolls (mostly in that my star blitzer was pushed to the sidelines). But in the second I got a better run, and after sneaking in a score on turn 12 looked to be back in the game.

MA was down to 0 re-rolls this time around and two failed pickups let me in. My big-hand two-heads goblin popped up through three TZs, running in and snatching the ball. Then he tried a GFI and fell down. However next turn he got up to repeat the feat and looked good to score. Then a heroic dodge from a dwarf and a hard hit put him on his ass again and out of the game.

From there MA managed to get a pickup right. A successful pass down field was dropped by the centaur, but it put the ball back into the right spot for the slow moving chaos dwarf side. When my goblin pickup failed to retrieve it once more the scene was set for a thrilling end, duly provided by the centaur, who picked up the ball and then ran straight down to the other end of the pitch. A poorly constructed defensive effort, which saw a skaven thrower marking the centaur and a troll attempting to make a dodge blitz (really, why didn't I blitz with the thrower? 2d against is still decent if I have block and he doesn't...), was bashed through and the centaur then scored.

Kicking myself for a few stupid plays at various points, but MA held in when the luck was against him and took the points in a pretty even match.

This sets up a very difficult season for me, with this being one of the few games where I actually had a TV advantage to work with. I can only hope the second troll gives me enough to find a way through the real heavy hitters in this division.

Post by: swiftblade on December 08, 2013, 05:47:28 AM
So, fun match (for me) ending 2-0. I think it would've been different had it been teams of equal TV, but Morg played his part and my troll did practically nothing.

Little annoyed in the second half when it wouldn't let me replace a Lineman with a Goblin, but with all the skills I had versus a new Chaos team it was unlikely to go any other way, though Wolven gave it his best shot.

In fairness he was lucky that his 3 injuries where just badly injured, nothing permanent and no-one misses the next match.

Megrim/Eldaec can you confirm that you want that match to be validated? As it stands I think Megrim gets the default win which means he gets two sets of MVP awards, two sets of winnings and Eldaec gets nothing. Also any SPPs earned during the match for any reason on either team won't be taken into account. If you want me to reset it and play the game again then let me know ASAP. Note that the deadline is tomorrow however, so if you do that you'll need to be able to schedule a game by Wednesday and post the schedule by tomorrow evening.

Drogg/R3dknight, if you can post a scheduled time for your game that is on or before Wednesday (Euro time) then I'll give you an extension. If there isn't a scheduled time by Tuesday afternoon then I'll give it as a draw and move the league on.

Well, ideally I'm good to play whenever you're struggling to stay conscious, but since I'm looking at more funtime with exams this week I guess I can swing a weekend game. This is also good since I'm getting another money-bin full of inducements it seems, and that's going to need some plannin' (as well as brushing up on my Foulin'-Fu to prevent the repeat of certain gaffes).
