Dumb question: How did Aez's Skaven get such a high team value?  Even the Estalia Crushers, who are also 2-0, only have a TV of 1070?

Helm disconnect in my first game.  It gave me 100% of the game money + the two 5ssp(xp point) awarded  to the player of the game (MVP).
None of my players are injured or dead and I have three lvl 2 players.

Cadaverine vs. Scadente: 0 - 3.

I got slaughtered by the forces of Chaos.  The dwarves either had too much Bugmans, or not enough, as they couldn't tackle squat.  Clearly the Chaos team was in Tzeentch's favor tonight with 3 extra turns on the kick off, and me not able to tackle a damn thing.  I have, however, got a lock on the "Attacker Down" LVP trophy.   awesome, for real

Yeah.  I'd like to meet the cat that wrote the dwarf blurb, and crack his jaw.   awesome, for real

They're incredibly top heavy, it would seem, despite the tackle, block, and all.  And having foot long legs, that makes sure they do fall down a lot.

Edit: My runner did level up this time, and got Dodge, so I'm now slightly dangerous on the running game.

Wow, Scadente can play! Are you in the Steam group, by the way, Scad? Which name? And dammit. Money on Aez, Scad and MA at this point!

Scadente is LoveTruncheon on Steam, fyi.  And, yeah, he can play.  Even taking my crap rolls into account, it still would have been 1 - 2, or 2 - 3 in his favor.

This was probably karma for going after IainC's skinks with a vengeance last match.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Edit:  And if you haven't gotten the game yet, what the hell are you waiting for?  It's more fun than a barrel full of goths with razor blades.  Hell, even if they don't let me link it too steam, I'd buy it twice, just out of support for a good game.  Same thing I did with Steam, and Dawn of War, actually.

In the single player campaign if the match in the last round is a draw, the game adds 4 turns of extra time on. If it's still a draw after that it just keeps adding four turns at a time until one side wins. Yesterday I was 3-3 against a Chaos team at full time, after nine consecutive failures for my Skink with Agility 4, and Sure hands to pick up a ball in the open I finally scored the winner on turn 32. Luckily the Chaos team was mostly busy getting a Lustrian Massage so they weren't able to get close to the ball themselves but I was getting pretty pissed off by the end.

You get two keys:
Activation key = needed to INSTALL the game. It checks onilne every time you install.
Account key = needed to create a unique online account, as per your average MMORPG (doesn't require monthly sub though)

My three installations work perfectly on all the three computers. Everytime I installed them it asked me for the "activation" key, which made an online check. I can imagine there's a number of given checks/installs you can do with a single key (until the promised free Steam upgrade) but I don't know that number and so far 3 worked without a flaw.

Are internet league teams stored locally or on a central server? I'm going to the US for three weeks on Thursday and I can take the game install files with me on my phone so that I can finish the league. Just wondering if I need to export my team or whether I can access it from anywhere.

10 in the morning? That's pretty much perfect for me.

Or did you mean 10 in the evening? Cause by then it's 03:00 (am) here in GMT land (which I can do in a pinch, but something slightly earlier would be prefferential!)

I stopped Aez!

In a bloody battle, Falconeer's Bat Country managed to snag a draw against the mighty Aez's skavens Fraggers, which are now 2-1-0

Falconeer 1 - Aez 1

First draw of the league. More on it tomorrow. 3am now, I need sleep.

You gents think the game'll retain your interest for more than a couple of months? Pondering buying it, but man, 20 bucks is a lot of cash.

I have no idea. Nothing ever retained my interest for more than two months straight other than Love & Rockets. Since there's no sub though, and you can make the League as flexible as you want with games occurring whenever you feel like, there's a chance whoever bought it will stick with it for a while. Even if only for the weekly League match.

Me, as the self-appointed Leagues organizer, barring August cause I'll be abroad for 20 days, I'll stick around until everyone here tells me to shutup and die.
And for the September f13 League (Season 2) I am planning to offer a 50$ prize, anything you like up to 50$ on Steam. Don't think anyone will buy the game for the prize anyway. Just showing off how serious I am about this whole Blood Bowl thing...

20 bucks is a lot of cash.

I don't know how can you pay just 20 for it, but lots of cash? Not this time, man, not this time. For that money it's a deal, it's a steal. It's the sale of the fucking century.

There's a really iffy website selling Asian keys for 20 bucks somehow. Cyanide is looking into blacklisting those keys. Probably a keygen.

I heard it's game boxes sold in countries where they are very cheap. This happened before with many other games, they can't blacklist those keys as they are legit.

They say this is from Singapore


Of course, it's a risky bet.

Demon's Souls was 60$ and was still a steal!
This, at 20$ would be incredible bang for your bucks.

Games, day #3
MA and Scadente are playing as we speak.

Still need:

IainC vs Typhon

Broke down and bought this. Obviously too late for this league but trying it out in single player. I've not played Blood Bowl before and know nothing about handegg and am very much getting my ass handed to me in single player (on easy ACK!) including having 3 players hospitalised in a match against Skaven (I picked Wood Elves since having a mobile game sounded good). That match finished 1-0 with me having a player with the ball on my turn 3 squares from the end zone which was annoying. It's good fun but I don't know if I'll actually be able to get good enough to bother with online play.

Poke me on Steam if you want a gentle game with some tuition involved. I don't claim to be an uber player (as my performance in the f13 league should attest) but I can explain why things happen and what you should be doing about them. It's a deceptively simple game but very much non-intuitive if you've not played the boardgame (the Franglais in the manual is pretty bad at explaining the core systems).
