* f13 MatchMaking Feeder League *

[Sjofn]

Speaking of feeders, approve my poor elves! They long to mince!

[Ulysees]

Falc I have applied to the feeder league with a woodelf team called Aery Faery's if you can approve it when you have the time please. Maybe then I can say yes to the random game requests that sometimes head my way :)

[Ulysees]

I have a wood elf team now in the league (Aery Faery's) so if anyone wants a match hit me up on steam and I'll hopefully oblige.

[Falconeer]

Approvedes! (It's Itanglish of some sort)

[Strazos]

Ils sont approuvé! (If you want to go French-style for some reason)

Speaking of which, totally off-topic, but any idea why BBM and some other things related to Bloowbowl seem to have such strong French influences?

[Falconeer]

France and Germany have a huge huge huge boardgaming tradition. That would be the only explanation, I think.

[Modern Angel]

You know, I'm realizing how punitive this is on little guy teams. The 11 man limit is basically impossible to recover from if I take my goblins next season, as I'm anticipating doing. I also think TV takes care of that issue nicely.

Can I put in that we reconsider the 11 person limit on main league eligibility?

[Ingmar]

I think the 11 person thing is a floor, not an exact thing.

[Modern Angel]

Yeah, I reread. I thought it was a ceiling, too. Disregard.

I need to get playing some feeder games. Last couple nights I played some campaign (I think, the single player is odd) games with my SP Bashers team. Got two blitzers with Mighty Blow (one with tackle and a hate for elves after a BH) and one is now a Blodger. But it's so pointless, I would LOVE to have a blodging blitzer in the f13 league!

[Strazos]

I have a blodging MB Beserker in my SP campaign...

Try to hit me up whenever for Feeder games...I'll try to accommodate if I'm not too busy.

Got two blitzers with Mighty Blow (one with tackle and a hate for elves after a BH) and one is now a Blodger.

The blodger just rolled doubles again and is now an orc blitzer with blodge and side step! And a black orc also nabbed jump up. Whee, damn single player.

Also, I'm still going with my theory that single player cheats dice. I hardly ever roll double skulls and I've been pounding the crap out of the other teams, KO/injury-wise. 4 level-ups playing a game against chaos with my orcs, all from bashing except my blodgy blitzer (a couple TDs and some bashing).

[Strazos]

Maybe it depends on difficulty level settings?

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Double skulls are pretty rare (3%). The AI is just terrible -- which doesn't affect your rolls directly of course, but does mean that you basically get two turns for every one AI turn in most cases, because it will turn over so frequently and make such bizarre choices (like not rerolling things it should.)

I went on a SP streak awhile back and got a Skaven team up to 2800+ TV. Since it adjusts your opponents' TV based on your own, I get to see the wonder of 6-8 reroll AI teams that don't even spend a reroll to avoid a 1d block turnover result. Even when they have 5 rerolls and it's turn 14.

Of course now I am used to playing the game at double speed, so all the animations in regular multiplayer games seem reaaalllly sllloowwww.

[Ulysees]

The good thing about the single player is that it shows you what you can turn your team into, though it will be a lot slower going since the teams that a bashy player will get SPP off when managed by a human are a lot less likely to give you the opportunity to beat them into a bloody pulp hence earning the SPP to level your bashy players.

Really not looking forward to the last few matches in my group since only Strazos is going to play to my own teams strengths and his team is full of skills so turnover chances for me are really high and I can't see the Elf teams just bending over and letting me sock it too 'em either, roll on season 8, might be able to deal with all comers by then :)

[carnifex27]

If anyone is up for a game in the next 30-45 mions please lemme know.  I am mildly intoxicated and well probably not play up to my full potential

[Sky]

I'd be up for a quick one. edit - guess I was too late!

[Ulysees]

If anyone wants to bash on some wood elves within the next 3 hours hit me up on steam for a match.

[Sky]

Played my first feeder game with my necro team vs ruvaldt's lizards. Won 2-1 in a bloody, bloody match. Whittled him down and without a bench there wasn't much he could do as I turtled at his goal line (yay orc training). My first non-orc game, too.

Scored the first goal with a wolf...who got killed in the last turn. The other wolf had the ball and it was an easy score, I set up the single marking skink with a bunch of TZs and blitzed with Frankenshteen...3 dice...skull/skull/both down (no reroll). So no score as it was my last turn, and had I scored that wolf would've gotten 3spp and the other wolf wouldn't have been in prime bashing zone between Krox and a saurus. Really awful dice. In fact, early in the game I had set Frank up for another 3-dice block and got the same skull/skull/both down. That first time I had a reroll...FOR THE SAME RESULT SKULL/SKULL/BOTH DOWN.

That's right, gentle reader. I had 3 3-dice block rolls in that game, and they were all skull/skull/both down (no block on either player).

MVP went to a zombie, no level-ups and the wolf that would've leveled died in the last turn. Not enough cash to replace him and only 2 rerolls anyway. Thinking of rolling another team, heh.

[Ruvaldt]

It was a pyrrhic victory for you if ever there was one. 

My crappy armor rolls and lack of a bench doomed me, and my being down one saurus didn't help either.  In the end, however, my Krox leveled, and they are notoriously slow levelers, so I consider it a pretty good loss.

I had tons of fun.  Hopefully we can do it again.

[Ulysees]

Jobs done for the day so if anyone wants some feeder games hit me up on steam.

[Sky]

Should have some time this evening for feeder game (EDT, UTC-4).

[HaemishM]

Just applied with a Khemri team named Howls and Bones.

[Ginaz]

Can I get my dwarf and wood elf teams approved?

[Sjofn]

Silly, you're supposed to nag in the ATTENTION FALCONEER thread!

[Sky]

Meant to post a quick apology here to whomever steam pm'd me for a game last weekend. I was in the middle of a pretty dismal conversation with my fiancee about her mom's health.

Also, I'm now on an ITALIAN HOLIDAY (ie playing Rift), so probably not a bunch of feeders for a month. 

[HaemishM]

If you see me on Steam at night, hit me up for a Feeder league game. I have a Necro and a Skaven team that I'm leveling up for possible inclusion into next season's F13 league - or I may stick with my 1220 Chaos team. We'll see what kind of level ups I can get.

[Modern Angel]

Hilarity is me and Catfud as Goblins versus Ogres. The carnage was great.

[lamaros]

I would love a feeder game if anyone is about. Hit me up on steam.

[IainC]

Just got owned by Catfud's Skaven 4-1. He scored two before half time from the kind of bullshit plays that Skaven do so well and then two more early in the second half to equally outrageous manoeuvres. For the final drive with two turns left, he kicked the ball out of bounds so I gave it to a Saurus just behind the LoS, punched a hole in the line and ran it through to score a consolation TD in my last turn.

I did a few things wrong, I'm still bad at forming cages and I tend to try and play my Lizards as if the Skinks are Elves and the Sauri are Dwarfs but playing different matches which is a problem. Llyse got away with some hugely jammy plays and was also lucky with his armour rolls - I had trouble dropping his players at all and when I did, they largely just bounced right back up. No injuries at all on either side despite a deliberate campaign of genocide against Gutter Runners.

Match is uploaded to BBManager if anyone is curious.

I was also playing a war of skink genocide with no results but the scoreline just shows how quickly skaven can score with a few bad rolls 

[HaemishM]

If you don't get armor breaks against a Skaven team and start whittling him down early, a half-braindead opponent can slice you to pieces.

[Ingmar]

Half-brained sounds about right for Llyse.

(Is it too early to start playoff trash-talking?)

It's never too early for trash talk 

Just make sure you kill off some contenders before we meet again
