Pre-Season 5 Drilling and Manliness - ULTIMATE DECIDER

 


Emperors of the Pitch

~vs~

Going Forth by Day



 

Shit continues to overrun, but we have two teams on 5 who can't be caught by others but who have both utterly failed to win the tournament in normal time. As such, they get one final match to demonstrate that they are real men.

If both teams fail to win this final match then the tournament ends and EVERYBODY LOSES.

Round 6 is still going on btw and will all contribute to final rankings, so play your matches tia.

The man's name is Maximinus Thrax, for God's sake.  He deserves a trophy for manliness and drilling based upon name alone.

In the eternal struggle of man versus mummy, man will win!

WE MUST SCORE TOUCHDOWNS

[Ingmar]

And we did.

Going Forth By Day wins 1-0, ending in a pre-season championship that my earlier record with Khemri would not have indicated was possible.

Ruvaldt had some Nuffle </3 on dodge rolls, but I like to think I at least enabled them by standing in the right place. 

[Ruvaldt]

My catchers are about to get fired.

That is all.

That and a hearty congratulations to Ingmar for a great two games against his Khemri, who turned out to be awesome opponents.  I really wanted to win this one, but that's just how it goes.  I'm glad the trophy went to Ingmar though, he deserves it.

Human Catchers are jinxed. My first one had an amazing streak of getting injured or KO'd in about 5 games before finally getting put out of his misery. I currently have Useless Pile and Festering BODS (Bowl of Dog Snot) filling out my receiving corps. Whenever I need someone to fail a GFI or blow a simple dodge and manage to hurt themselves, they always deliver.

*edit*

whoops, doublepost.

[Ruvaldt]

Yeah, it's terribly depressing when one fails a simple dodge.  Mine failed two last night and both fell down injured afterwards.  One would have scored a TD and the other would have been two squares away with only a few marked skeletons to catch him.  One of them is the leading scorer in the Feeder League, I think, and is awesome on his best days, but last night wasn't one of them.

I have a new found respect for Human teams though, and properly built they're an excellent squad.  You got lucky on a +STR thrower like I did, Bann; not looking forward to squaring off against him during the regular season.

I'm hoping for another pre-season later so that the Emperors can make another run for the title.

[Ingmar]

That +str/block/dodge thrower was really irritating, given your other luck I feel pretty safe in saying he was the only thing standing between you and a much worse loss*, he slowed me down tremendously.

*Which in khemri terms means 2-0 probably, so maybe not MUCH worse.
