More Dave day 3

[IainC]

Gruntle and I just played our game for day 3 and it seems that I must have brutally murdered the family of the Cyanide RNG programmer in a previous life. Pretty much everything I tried to do failed. I couldn't knock down the Snottles and when I did they bounced, the only Snottle casualty was self inflicted from a failed GfI. The weather was bright sunshine throughout the whole match which made the already erratic Snotling passing game even more unreliable and I kept failing dodges and GfIs at inopportune moments. By contrast, Gruntle was having a grand old time throwing my guys around the pitch. By the end of the match I had 6 injured players and 4 more in the KO bin.

2-0 to Gruntle.

IainC and I played our day 3 match. Snottles beat da Skabby Skrappers 2-0.
It was a classic all snotling game; a lot of wacky stuff happened with no rhyme or reason to it at all.

According to BB Manager I had the lead in defenders down rolled (the only effective roll) with over half again more (and neither of us had the predicted 1/6th) so basically it was all praise to Nuffle.

We both leveled a player (IainC's may miss next game). Mine is getting block!

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Mine is getting block!

Only on a double.

[Gruntle]

Mine is getting block!

Only on a double.

My apologies. I meant to write, "He got a double! (and chose the block skill)"

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Curses. Well, thankfully I already played you!

Wait, when did we roll to Day 3?

[Strazos]

So Haemish and I just finished our Day 3 game. At this point, it's difficult to parse out specific details...

Haemish received first first half and eventually formed a partial cage. The first half was fairly comptetive, but I was finally able to wear him down, pop the ball out, and drag it in on turn 8.

After the half...things changed. Haemish started the second half at a significant disadvantage in snotpower, and from there...things just went downhill. In the process of scoring another 2 TDs in the second half, I managed to nearly clear Haemish's team clear off the pitch.

3-0 victory to The Little Snots. Final stats showed I think 20 armor breaks for 10 KOs and 10 CAS (+1 self-inflicted by Haemish). It was...rough, and I apologize for my crazed snots.

Little Snotlings 3 - Pile of Snotlings 0

Holy shit. I can't say much about this game other than the dice DESTROYED me. Strazos got 33 knock down rolls to my 8. He inflicted 20 armor breaks on me, 9 casualties including 1 death, and on the final turn, I had ONE FUCKING GUY on the pitch to his 11. Holy fucking shit.

[Strazos]

If it's any consolation, I just saw that I somehow took Diving CATCH on one of my snots, as if that's going to see a lot of use.

[Strazos]

Bumping this thread, in case folks forgot about their games or something - I need more Snot Carnage!

Mathematichy 1-0 over Out, Damned Snot!

Lots of beating in the first half including some intentionally-chosen both down roulette but my carrier managed to hang on to the ball for dear life and run it in on turn 8. I outbashed Ingmar a bit but also had a smaller roster (no idea how his TV is less than mine given that I also have no apoth) so I was only up one player in the second half. Ingmar came very close to tying it up in the second half after securing a numbers advantage but I improbably managed to knock down his ball carrier several times and the game ended after a crowd throw-in made scoring much less likely.

Ingmar got -1AV and a niggling injury but also a +ST. I received one MNG and also have three new diving tacklers.

Replay is uploaded but I marked it as day 4. Apparently more than one league is too much for me to handle.

Any word on ICE v Proudft ?

[proudft]

Are we the last ones?  Whoops!  He was out of town this weekend and I promptly forgot to re-nag him this week, sorry. 
 

[Ice Cream Emperor]

My usual Wednesday night sporting event has been cancelled this week, so if you are around later hopefully we can get the game played (since I'm busy tomorrow evening.)

[proudft]

I can start after 9 pm tonight, hopefully that's not too late. 

[proudft]

Another snotling game, another tie.  And all my snotlings are still level 1. 

[Ice Cream Emperor]

You were so close, too. A failed dodge in the final turn preserves the tie.

My team managed a single knockdown in the first 5 turns, despite throwing blocks everywhere. Combined with the blizzard this made the game feel verrrry slow indeed. Things got a bit better after that, and an overcommitment to a blitz to start the second half allowed me to grab my only TD.

Statswise, I had a 22% block success rate, despite an average of 2.31 dice per block (compare to 43% and 2.11 for proudft.) I rolled 12% defender downs, and proudft rolled 22%, including a 1d blitz on my ball carrier after a GFI in the snow.

On the other hand I dodged like crazy, and proudft's snotlings managed to fail dodges at all sorts of terrible moments -- though not to be outdone by my Block snotling, who after finally waking up from a first half KO on turn 13 managed to fail a dodge on the way to a 3d ball carrier blitz.
