*Season 4* - In-game join now. Intructions, and other messy stuff.

[Strazos]

Either someone is going to throttle Comstar with bashings, or he's simply going to dice hack dance and dodge his way to a perfect regular-season record.

[Sir T]

Oh lord, Stormbringer is going to be bashorama. Pure and utter carnage.

I'd better stock up on Apothecaries and rerolls... Oh yeah 

[HaemishM]

Cthulu 4 LIFE, DOG!

I was in this division last year. I'm good with that. I look forward to being able to block against a few of the teams in this division, including another High Elf team.

Love the videos, Falc. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this.

[Sky]

It's hard for me to imagine much in the way of bad divisions as long as I'm not up against 'that wolf', Ingmar's beardbash, or those horrid, horrid bitches of Comstar's. I was hoping to draw Iain to allow him to punch me into oblivion for sticking out my foot as he ran for the playoffs last season and Andy for obvious reasons...but since I would've lost both of those games, it's probably for the best.

Game I'm sweating most (and no offense meant to the other T2000 coaches): Bashtards vs Snoosnoo. Don't hurt me, Freight Train Joe. Or at least sign my jersey as you roll on over the poor bashtards!

I should be pretty easy pickings, I have only played official f13 league games. I need to practice more.

[Ice Cream Emperor]

2 lizards, 2 chaos, 2 necromantics, and some other chumps.

Really it's all about whether I have enough games to get tackle on somebody before I play Comstar. I swear that two thirds of my team's SPP is on zombies.

[Ruvaldt]

Stormbringer is going to be awesome!  Hail to the chiefs!   

[Sir T]

Stormbringer is going to be awesome!  Hail to the chiefs!   

[Sjofn]

I'm going to be all about random replacement loner dudes getting MVP this season, aren't I. 

[proudft]

The best part about free replacement guys is it makes it easy to figure out who to put on the line. 

[Ingmar]

You should just put your Thro-Ras up there to get the inevitable out of the way.

[eldaec]

Bastards vs Snoosnoo

The thing to remember about Snoosnoo is that they are not, actually, Orcs.

MA has built some bizarre fake elf passing team with developed throwers and catchers but nothing on the front line guys.

Just remember you are playing against particularly ugly elfs and keep punching them in the face until they go away. You'll be fine.

[Ulysees]

It's amazing how much more fun that video is when you're actually one of the teams taking part this year, awsome job as usual Falc. Can't wait for the slaughter to start - viva la bloodbowl!

[Sjofn]

Haha, I noticed that too. I was all WOO THERE'S MY NAME. And then I was all OH SHIT THIS ENTIRE DIVISION IS GOING TO KICK THE SHIT OUT OF ME.


But I need to think positive! Raar!

[Ironwood]

Tier Noob.

Fair enough....

[Reborne]

Wow.
I wasn't expecting so bashy *without* any lizards.

I wonder if someone will manage to wipe the field of snotlings this season 

Thanks to Falc for all the effort.

This is going to be fun.

[lamaros]

Great video again falc. Thanks for all the work you do to make this happen. Got a few tatts?

[Falconeer]

Great video again falc. Thanks for all the work you do to make this happen. Got a few tatts?

Hah. Just a few 

You are all welcome. Sometimes I feel the pressure of all the stuff I created, but most of the times I have a great time doing it and actually I'm the one who should be thankful, as I would have never played a real Blood Bowl League without the enthusiasm of you all.

[Paelos]

So is it game 1 time now?

[Modern Angel]

I checked this morning and the divisions weren't organized quite yet. I imagine by the end of the day it will be.

[Falconeer]

At work now. Let me get home and I'll turn the goddamn switch on.

[Modern Angel]

Uh, are the divisions right? They weren't a couple hours ago. It'd be Very Bad if it got turned on but they were set up incorrectly.

[Falconeer]

No they are not right at the moment. I have to get home, launch the game, fix the divisions, and then start Game Day #1.

Bastards vs Snoosnoo

The thing to remember about Snoosnoo is that they are not, actually, Orcs.

MA has built some bizarre fake elf passing team with developed throwers and catchers but nothing on the front line guys.

Just remember you are playing against particularly ugly elfs and keep punching them in the face until they go away. You'll be fine.

Firstly, how dare you slander the name of my fine young green orcs. They love their mothers and their fathers beat them daily, like any good orc family.

Secondly, the Bashtards spent most of last season emulating Snoosnoo  Jerkface (Snoo) was the 2nd best thrower in the league, 3rd in passing yards. Chuck (Bash) was the 5th best thrower, 6th for yards. I had some real comedic moments, but due to the amount of throwing I did, and some lucky dodging in a couple games, well, most of the teams that played me except for my last two games (where I was practicing ground&pound) would call them ugly elves.

Going to be difficult to get my high ranking in the killer category this season, going to have to decimate some skinks and rats, along with the usual elf-punching. Actually I think there needs to be wagering of which of the three real teams (the tards, the snoos and the dips) in T2000 is going to punch the most faces into the pitch.

[eldaec]

Immortal Jenkins is ranked 8th for passing yards despite never having thrown a ball in his career. The hall of fame has some interesting loopholes.

[avaia]

In-game stats are deeply flawed, and never reset over seasons.  I have a better way, with more stats, and it is ready for season 4.

[Strazos]

Well, please, do tell.

[IainC]

I bet it involves chickens.

[Falconeer]

Season #4 is ON! You can play your Game Day #1!



Please remember that YOU HAVE TO POST YOUR REPLAY ON BB MANAGER ON YOUR OWN, or your game won't be validated, and you will be awarded a loss.

Also, important NEW RULE:


- To make sure that the winner of the game instantly uploads his/her replay to BBManager, or in case of a tie you agree on who's gonna do it. When in doubt, you both upload it. This will save me a lot of work, and will take you only a few seconds.

This is very important. And I'll go as far as using the rule which is in effect in the Orca Cola and some other major BB competition. >>> It's the winner of a match responsibility to upload the replay. If, by the end of the Game Week the winner hasn't uploaded his/her replay, the win will go to the other player. In case of a draw, coaches are supposed to agree on who is gonna upload. When in doubt, just upload (removing a duplicate is very easy). <<<

Just remember, uploading a replay to BB Manager takes 5 seconds, right after the end of the game.

[Ulysees]

On page one of the resources and questions is where th BB manager instruction are - will just check with my opponent to make sure I do it right the first time.

[proudft]

1. Run the BB Manager program.   It takes 6 years to start.
2. Enter your name and password.  (If you don't have one yet, Create Account).  Hit OK.
3. Wait 4 more minutes for it to finish loading.
4. When you see the page of news, it is finally ready. There is a button "Submit Match" in the upper-leftish part of the window.  Has a disk icon next to it. Push this button.  Wait some more.
5. It pops up the last match played by default.  This is why if you run it right after the match, it is easy.  It fills in everything automagically EXCEPT Game Day (set this to whatever it is, well, except on day 1) and Password (which is the same as the league password).  (And maybe league name, I can't remember. That would be f13 season 4, of course.) Fill these out.
6. Push Submit, all done!


EDIT: Too bad, you get instructions anyway!

[Ingmar]

2a: If you have ever had multiple versions of BB on the same machine make sure it is set to "Legendary Edition" on the login screen.
5a: I find that a lot of the time I have to set the coach names myself also.

[Ulysees]

Top job - Thanks for the guide Proudft - one last question - do I have to have BB manager running at the same time as playing a game?

[proudft]

Nope.

[ezrast]

If you do it'll automatically detect games played and ask you if you want to upload them. Plus I think Falconeer said doing it this way helps avoid issues with corrupted replay files.

[proudft]

Oh, interesting.   I haven't seen any corrupted replays myself - maybe cause I usually only play one game per firing up of Blood Bowl?    But yeah it doesn't hurt anything to have it running at the same time and saves you a lot of waiting on starting BB Manager.
