Mother fu....   

Let's do this 

[Sir T]

Who is Ben.Skelly, my lucky opponent?

[Ingmar]

I'm on California time, Comstar, so let me know when you want your hugs.

[avaia]

Fuck.  Yes.

[Teleku]

Hmm, Goblin team for my first game.  This will probably end very badly for one of us, and I honestly can't say which.

[Sjofn]

CELER

MAKE YOUR TIME





Also we should probably play our D&M game at some point.

[Llyse]

There are a lot of replays I'll be watching for Day 1...

I'm up for assassinating some Presidents as my welcome back... 

I'm GMT +9 Ruvaldt, How does my Saturday morning, your Friday night sound?

[Sjofn]

Forgot a picture, how silly of me!

[lamaros]

I'll be around this weekend if you want to play then Haem.

[Paelos]

[Modern Angel]

Teleku and I drew 1-1. The Goblin Team nearly won it. They are mighty.

No f13 Season 5 in the League quite yet for some reason. I think it takes a day or so to cycle. Now approve my game so I can level up my dudes.

[Bann]

The Goblin Team 1 - The Dandies 1

Pouring rain the entire match, but it didnt have as big an effect as I feared it might. As expected, some casualties in this match, I killed his ball and chain guy, but saw a lineman lose 1 str and a catcher lose 1 mobility. Ill probably spend some of that cash I've been banking and bring in some new recruits.

Falc, Neither of us saw a f13 season 5 in BBM, so I went ahead and uploaded our match to season 4 as matchday 10. Ill reupload once season 5 starts showing up on BBM.

[Modern Angel]

I don't list casualties because we're fucking GOBLINS and we don't care. Corpseflesh is merely a snack before we dine on the children of men. It whets the appetite.

I also had an outside shot at a win but I goofed on turn tracking. It was a bit of a pickle as far as picking up the ball and dodging but it was there. This entire thing is basically the same thing as a win for goblins.

[HaemishM]

I'll be around this weekend if you want to play then Haem.

I'll check Steam nightly from now til we play.

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Ulysseeesss,

I am PST and should be available for the remaining weeknights (tomorrow, Friday) and plausibly sometime afternoonish on either weekend day. If you want to set a particular time, just let me know, if not I will keep an eye peeled and try to stay logged in to Steam when I am around.
 

[Cancklebiter]

Who is Ben.Skelly, my lucky opponent?

That be me.

[IainC]

Elves vs Tomb Guardians? That sounds like a good combination.

I'm ready to flap ineffectually at you Proudft!

Man, I must have been really drunk last night to have played a game, against the wrong opponent no less, and not even remember!

 

[Scadente]

Ginaz: Added you on Steam (username: LoveTruncheon). Best times for me are on Sunday or Monday; I live in London, so GMT.

[luckton]

Falc, not sure if you're getting my PMs here, but I friended you on Steam.  I'm available after 7PM EST every night.  Let's get this Halfling beat-down over with already 

[Modern Angel]

Man, I must have been really drunk last night to have played a game, against the wrong opponent no less, and not even remember!

 

AUGH! I meant Bann

[Ingmar]

Comstar: my regular PC is dying (again) so we might get stuck playing on my laptop which could have some performance issues. I'll see what I can do about fixing the PC tonight.

[Ginaz]

Ginaz: Added you on Steam (username: LoveTruncheon). Best times for me are on Sunday or Monday; I live in London, so GMT.

PM sent and I'll add you on Steam when I get home from work today.

[Sir T]

Cancklebiter and I tried to plat tonight but we ran into that "Port forwarding" thing again. I've recently rebuilt my gaming rig so it could easilly be me. I'm going to bed now, but I should be able to fix it tomorrow and we hope to get the game in then.

[Ulysees]

Ice and I are scheduled to play 12pm his time 8pm my time on Saturday. Wonder if Lizards have invented fire yet? Need to do something about that tree man, the rest of his team are just SPP waiting to be farmed!

[proudft]

Burrowing Beetles tie Fnurianah Cianthyralyeh Elven Bullshit 2-2.   An utter Khemri mismanaging of the first half (playing goblins too much lately, ok?) was saved by some desperation thro-ra passes in the last turns of the half to make it 1-2 and set up a low-expectations tie for the second half. 

Fortunately the cowardly elves decided to, once knocked out, stay out, and the wood elf brigade got pretty thin near the end of the game, and the 2-2 tie came to pass.  Nobody died on either side.

[IainC]

Elven Bullshit was doing well until it started having to make KO rolls.

The Khemrians kicked and I scored a standard 2 turn TD to start things off despite the rain. I kicked back and the ball landed safely in the hands of a Thro-Ra so I Wardancered him and the ball went loose. The Undead try to pick the ball up again but fail thanks to the rain so my catcher dodges in, grabs the ball and gets away. Unfortunately he can't get far enough away and he gets blitzed down in turn. Luckily his armour holds so a Wardancer pushes away one of his markers allowing him to spring to his feet grab the ball from under the noses of the Undead and trot it over the line for a second TD on turn five.

For the third drive of the half however, I have two KOd players and they both fail their rolls so I'm down to 9 Elves on the pitch. Once again the rain thwarts the Undead attempt to collect the ball and I push my team forwards to capitalise on this. The sight of angry fairies bearing down on the ball focuses the Undead and they manage to pick the ball up and throw it but the throw is wide and it lands in the middle of my half. My thrower Caractacus grabs the ball and manages to fumble the throw as well (Agi 5, Pass). The Undead get the ball again and throw it down the pitch, Caractacus is in position to intercept but fails to do so and again it's a bad pass. Caractacus goes to grab the ball but fails a GfI to reach the square that the ball is in, the Agi 2 Blitz-Ra successfully picks the ball up despite the tackle zone on it and then walks it in to make it 2-1 on the whistle.

At the second half I have four KOd Elves and two make their roll so I'm now down to 8 players as I have a Badly Hurt Line-Elf too. After the excitement of the first half, the second half is fairly dull. The Undead cage up and grind very slowly down the pitch while I try a series of increasingly desperate blocks to try and stop them. Eventually it becomes clear that while I can't stop them from scoring I have stopped them from winning as there's no way that the Undead will score early enough to leave time for another TD afterwards. If they did then they'd likely hand me a victory as I'd be much more likely to snap out a fast score than they would. They batter as many Elves as they can reach and finally score their second in their last turn of the match. I have one turn left and, there's a mathematical chance that I can get a 1 turn TD with a Quick Snap or a regular 2 turn TD if there's a riot. Sadly neither of these things happen and the match ends with a pointless pass for SPP farming. For my last turn I have six KO rolls and only one is successful. In  total I made 3 out of 12 KO rolls in the match.

My catcher levelled and a Thro-Ra levelled so ew'll see what they get when the match is validated. I rolled a 1 for my winnings which bodes poorly for my Apothecary and rerolls fund. At least I have no players out of action for the next game.

[Strazos]

Ramas/Ezrast/whatever, let me know when you're available.

[Ruvaldt]

There are a lot of replays I'll be watching for Day 1...

I'm up for assassinating some Presidents as my welcome back... 

I'm GMT +9 Ruvaldt, How does my Saturday morning, your Friday night sound?

Sounds good to me as long as the fiancee doesn't object between now and then.  If that happens I'll let you know, or try to.

The Minizilla's 1 - Cloudpunks 1

Forget Elven bullshit when you get Nuffle bullshit it is 10 times worse. My first 2 blocks hurt Ice's WD and then KO'd his catcher and things were looking quite rosy, after a bit of manouvering i finally trap Ice's thrower deep in my half and he fails a dodge away from my Krox which spills the ball and with a number of elves on the sidelines Ice is badly out of position if only my skink can pick up the ball and then scurry to the safety of the sideline where I can get him covered to run in the score on Ice's offence which I think will put me in good stead to receive in the second half so with a prayer to nuffle and a reroll in hand I move to pick up the ball which fails, as does the re-roll and the ball scatters out of bounds and the resulting toss in couldn't have been kinder because I failed to do the hitting before the picking! the toss in lands on the far side of the pitch next to a group of previously out of position elves who tip their hat to father nuffle and run in the opening touchdown with 3 turns left of the half.

I receive the kick off and prepare a 2 turn score but Ice easily snuffs that out so I advance a standard cage in 2 turns which Ice's WD failed in his leap attempt to crack and with a grin and a wave I prepare my final push of the half. Clear a few elves, make a single GFI and I am all tied going into the second half. First 2 blocks work a charm then the key one that releases the skink comes up with both down and defender down on a non block saurus - no re-rolls means a turnover and the half ends.

Second half I receive and this time advance a standard cage with the aim of just bashing as much as I can to try and get some SPP on the saurus' which works quite well, though I don't score any further injuries I do manage to score a total of 4 KO's, Ice once again managed to break the cage but was unable to recover the ball and a bad bounce put it in a nice tight group of my big hitters who once again pummeled some elven faces and this time I manage to pick up the ball succusfully and scurry into a corner with a couple of guards to make it tough for Ice to get the ball off me and run the clock down to score on my last turn of the match to secure the draw.

A hard earned draw but I think it was a fair result. I had the luck with my opening blocks taking his key players out for the first drive and but for that failed pick up and very kind toss in would have gone into the half either 1 up or at least still 0-0 but even with only 1 wardancer and 1 re-roll ice made me work hard for the draw and I can see Ice having a lot of joy with this team if he manages to keep his rosta together after he has faced the other lizard team and the murder squads that are Strazos and Eldaecs Norse.
