Last night I tried to add another apothecary to my team (had exactly the 50 gold required), but the + option was grayed out. I could buy other things like cheerleaders though. Are apothecaries capped at 1 or something?

Most of this is approximate word shape, I GUARANTEE THIS IS WRONG. That photo is a bit rubbish.
I need one of those magic 'make everything clear' filters.
EDIT : As predicted, this is wrong - watch the video below.

EDIT: Also you don't need to be below 1000 to use inducements, just lower value than your opponent (or you can put in petty cash, but that's generally not a great idea.) |

I know, I was subtly psyching Teleku out regarding his elfs' tendancies to physically snap in half every time a dice gets rolled in a match, and the resulting impact it has had on his TV.

Considering I played an entire season and am now entering this one with a TV lower than 1000, yeah.  |

VIDEO IS HERE.And so are the groupings. They will be posted here and updated in-game soon, but you can have some fun with the real-time tension of the video. Mind, it's 15 minutes long, filled with bad pronunciation and a terrible accent. Obnoxious. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahxKGCUnmzM

I laughed, I cried. I wish I was in the Twilight 2000 division though. I cannot grow a fabulous enough mustache for the Orient Express division. |

Very nice.
Battletech Group is a tough one - full of serious business beat you up and take your lunch money a TV1000 races. Pretty happy with Stormbringer Group, nice mix of games.

Crocodile Dundee hat was the highlight for me.  As an ex-Twilight 2000 player, I embrace my randomly chosen division! Perhaps I can get some revenge against Falconeer for his tie against my Orcs last season as well. Excellent job on the video, commissioner. |

There was so much more off (and unwanted) humour but it all had to be cut off, including fake sports commentary about the matchups, the players and all. Maybe next time.
I had no idea it all took so long.

I think what I liked that most is I got put in the division I wanted, Twilight 2000!

I was put in the proper division, that of Stormbringer, destroyer of worlds and drinker of souls. For you, my lord Arioch!

Upon closer inspection, Twilight: 2000 division appears fairly bashy:
Norse
Amazon
Necromantic
Skaven
Human
Nurgle
Orc
Undead
Or maybe it just looks that way from the point of view of someone playing Skaven. A nice spread though, and at least we don't have any Dwarves. Norse are looking like a pretty strong standout as long as they stay healthy. Nurgles are going to be a damned pain.

Here are the groups! The League is ON!While you are all supposed to wait until the 13th to play your games, I can't see any reason not to sttart organizing, and should you be able to play tomorrow, by all means do so. Here are the groups: Battletech Division Cthulhu Division Stormbringer Division Twilight 2000 Division ** All relevant info updated in the OP. You can always find up to date Scores and Standings there **

My relatively dodgy lizards are in with two undead, two necromantic, a wood elf, a dwarf, and a skaven. Of the other two vets in my pool, Llyse commands the infamous Calvin and Hobbes, while Teleku handed me my most humiliating loss of the whole second season. Hopefully the new 7 Deadly will fare better against them than my old 6 Pools did.
Shame we can't talk about this in a subforum.

Falc, if you have all email addresses can we get a new all send email out to everyone with contact information? I know I, at least, was using email way more than PMs to set up my games.

I don't feel so bad about Cthulhu group. Orc, Undead and Khemri may be a problem, but I can actually block against the other teams. I look forward to having these words slammed back down my purty High Elf mouth. |

My reactions, I'll try to keep them in order.
Stormbringer division I was first team chosen so at least I could watch knowing what was happening. Dwarves to Battletech horray, fuck those stumpy fucks! Neither Skaven team in my group here's hoping Lameros gets matched against Dwarves first game so they can eat his GR's and we can all laugh! Getting an extra newb team was a highlight, not that I think I can crush Kail for free or anything *whistles*. Was sorry to miss out on the Teleku lottery if only we had gotten his wood elves instead of scary Silver Horde Norse. I was sure we were getting a Necro team as our elite team but then we got Megrim's Vamps this whole time I hadn't known they were in the playoffs somehow. I thought it was the two Necro teams Strazos and Comstar.
Looking at my schedule in-game I get first crack at killing the maximum amount of snotlings I can get my hands on and then I get the Lizardmen hopefully after they've been tenderized by the veteran Vampires. Feel free to murder his Krox Megrim you know you want to.
Also I'd like to advance a motion to call the Cthulhu the Oriental Division from now on.

The more I think of it, the more the lack of a subforum feels like a cockblock to (more) fun. I have to make forum acrobatics to keep relevant infos accessible, and significant posts will be lost anyway. Aren't we being obnoxious enough for everyone who is not into Blood Bowl by keeping this thread constantly on top, and possibly forever, that we would do less harm in our own nerdy corner? Can't we do a strike of some sort to fight the power around here? I mean, at this point after being banned from the USA and Facebook, only thing I miss is an f13 ban. Seriously, class action dammit!

Nice video. I like the impartial feline observer, but I admit I skipped to the thread eventually. Needed more swooshy graphics & sound effects and of course lots of dramatically walking around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusyO7J2inM&feature=related (just substitute 'blood bowl' for 'football'.) As for my draw, I had a bad feeling I'd end up with one of the veteran Necro sides -- but at least I get to start the season off chewing on some delicious rats! |

So.... do we have to wait until the 13th to start playing, or can we get right to it?
