Someone should gift me it because I just bought Armored Princess without looking at coming soon. Not because I'm a whore though.

I'm in for a league. I'll suck because I'm trying to play too many games right now with too little time, but hey, someone has to be the curvemeat.

Yeah Aez and Cadaverine, play that one. It would be nice to have a full Season done, but to make it simple if Aez gets a point out of Cadaverine then Helm match only serves to see who ends up second (Helm has 13 points, Modern Angel 12).
So, league?

Turns out I will be getting a copy, but not from one of you folks. Rather, I might have to BiiF it or something.

I know nothing about how to play this game at all, but depending on how quick I can get my financial problems worked out, I might be up for a league, if you need someone to populate the bottom rungs of the ladder.

The league takes you a match of 90 minutes every 10 days or something. If you have the game, you should consider joining now. Mid december the league will be probably in progress and the next one wouldn't be before february. So Falconeer Prospero Hoax Schild Megrim Llyse ? Kail ? Sidereal Interestingly, so far not a single one (but me) from the first f13 league is joining.

Great, so we already have 7 sure starters. Aez or Helm, whoever will end up winning the 1st league, will be FORCED to partecipate to the second one. No, seriously. That's make 8 of us, potentially 10 with the undecisive twos. Ironwood? You?
This time we would set a time limit for playing a game, a very loose one like 2 weeks. If a game can't be arranged in two weeks then we'll force a loss (or a tie) and move on to next week. It's a 90 minutes every two weeks thing. Can't be that committing. Come on guys.

So I fired it up this morning, and gave the Dark Elves a try. Got manhandled by Skaven. I can't imagine I'd have had a team left after facing Dwarves, Chaos, or Orcs.

Are we using fresh teams or can we continue with the teams from the first league/public leagues?

I'd say let's vote. I liked the idea of using the old teams. Some are better than they were but some are not, so it wouldn't be an absolute advantage. But it's cool to have a fresh start too.
Persistance is one of the coolest things about Blood Bowl, so starting with fresh teams is a bit of a letdown. At the same time, it's something that is cool only for the few that were in the old league, while the new guys would only feel penalised.
Vote! What do you think?

I'm game but I want to actually finish. I probably can't go more than one game a week every week. baby and all.

The idea is to force the limit for each match at two weeks. So definitely not more than one game a week. Probably less. And to finish, you just need to find Helm and force him to play that last one. That would be awesome.

I would only consider it with fixed playtime. More than 50% of my match have been hell to set up. Waiting on other was also boring. Is it possible to plan a agenda and you simply lose if you don't show up?

Once Steam unlocks this, I'll give the league a shot. Never played the table top version but this just looks badass.

I'm going to get the shit kicked out of me anyway, I wouldn't mind if you guys kept your teams. Also, someone should Radicalthon this. Is there a demo recording option in this game?

Yeah, sign me in anyway. For those interested in keeping their team, remember that mine is now a HUGE advantage.

I think we should start with fresh teams since that was always pretty much the plan. But if it gets us an extra coach I'm fine with reusing the teams from the last season. Either way.

I'd like to, but I'm not sure how doable it would be to set up games with US-based players given the time differences. I'd also prefer a fresh league.

If we've got 12+ we could do two divisions, a North America and EU timezone then do playoffs! Yessssss

It's mostly fine if people actually bother to communicate properly, and even if the weekdays are unworkable there is usually little issue with setting up a game over a weekend. Either way i'm in the same boat as you. On the topic of old teams versus new teams; i'm mostly ambivalent but given that you guys have only played a single tourney, the team ratings shouldn't be higher then the 1500s so if we decide to have a re-start i doubt that it will take overlong to re-develop the teams. Furthermore, our new players might not be aware of the interactions between different teams at different ratings so it might be more fair to start everyone on a blank slate (then again, it might not matter). Ultimately it's all good fun, so i don't think i'll mind whichever way we go.

Sorry, work/personal life make this a non-starter for me in 2009. But actually that's good because it will give me a chance to use the dark elves and (possible) suck less in the next league.

I completely forgot about this game when my email for a refreshed download-link was never answered.
Should I be able to get my hands on this game (and my account information) again, I'll glady fight that last match.
I'd also like to sign up for the new league, I vote for fresh teams, since I knew nothing about the game when I rolled those lizzards.

And you almost won the League! Play tha last game, Helm, so we can move on. I'm sure Modern Angel is up for it.
That said, I installed the game on my new computer and the fucking thing says I'm out of "installations", did it on too many machines. Gives links to solutions, non of them works. Sends me to an official "manual unlocker" tool, no go. Had to write a pissed off email, and 24 hours later I got the code unlocked for a new installation.
What about newer installations in the future, a few years from now? Never felt angrier about a game and copy protection.
