[Comstar]

League is still on game day 1 boss. I was already ready for a game vs proudft which is my MUST WIN too :(

[Llyse]

Drogg, we meet again old foe.   

As usual I'm in the awesome GMT +9 timezone and probably won't be available until Saturday 6pm GMT +9 but otherwise should be fine...

Let me know if you have any earlier availability and I'll see if I can wake/sleep some strange times otherwise Weekend it is!

[Falconeer]

What? Sorry. Advancing now. What the hell, Falc. Still drunk on tear gas?

[Ulysees]

Hi Teleku I am looking forward to a rematch of our game from last season, be good to see if I have learned a little more about countering your damn tricksy Elves! Got an odd week this week as I am away next weekend which would normally be the best time to catch you for me so any chance you can be free thursday? I am working from home so would be easy enough for me to stay up late wednesday night or get up early thursday morning and get our game played. I am UK based so GMT+1.

[IainC]

Celer! Your time; make it!

Glad to see that your main thrower and your +1 str blodging Blitzer are both out for this game, looking at the lineup I'm feeling a bit better about my chances as most of the skills are defensive (Dodge, Wrestle, Guard) and I don't throw that many blocks as a rule.

[Celer]

Well I don't particularly have trouble scoring as it is, so I figure why both with offensive skills! 

Like the rest of the division I am in California (PDT, GMT-7) which I believe is 8 hours behind you.  I'm busy Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday-Friday I can start a game around 6-7am or 6-9pm my time.  Thursday I could be free all day with some advance notice.  If none of that works out, we'll have to work something out on the weekend.

[IainC]

Thursday looks to be a good option if you can play mid-dayish (say between 11am and 3pm or so).

I'll look out for you on Steam when I get home from work and if that doesn't happen then we'll try and organise something at the weekend.

[HaemishM]

Andy, it's likely going to be Friday night, Saturday or Sunday for our game, since you're on GMT and I'm GMT -6. What time is going to be good for you?

[Ginaz]

I'm not sure who Kailas is, but send me a PM when you're available to play our match.  I'm usually available weeknights after 6 p.m. and anytime on weekends (N.A. Mountain time, Calgary, Alberta).

[eldaec]

Who can tell me what Scandente/Krummi is called on steam?

[Ruvaldt]

He is LoveTruncheon on Steam.

[drogg]

Drogg, we meet again old foe.   

As usual I'm in the awesome GMT +9 timezone and probably won't be available until Saturday 6pm GMT +9 but otherwise should be fine...

Let me know if you have any earlier availability and I'll see if I can wake/sleep some strange times otherwise Weekend it is!

it looks like that's 2 AM Saturday my time    its possible i'll still be up (in which case i'll hop on steam) but if not, i'll try and track you down sometime your sunday!

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Strazos,

Not sure which continent you're on, but I am in the PST (GMT-7). I could play lateish tonight (Monday), or Wednesday or Friday out of the remaining weeknights, as well as most times on the weekend. I might also be able to play Thursday or Friday during the day, with enough advance notice. Let me know when works for you.

[AndyDavo]

Andy, it's likely going to be Friday night, Saturday or Sunday for our game, since you're on GMT and I'm GMT -6. What time is going to be good for you?

Hey, I will be available Friday night but i am off work on Wed and Thurs. What times are you actually free? Do you get home early from work any day? We could arrange 10pm my time on friday if you wish. Does that work?

[HaemishM]

As for weeknights, I'm available from about 8 pm CST (so 2 AM-ish for you?) until about 10 pm CST. 

[Strazos]

Ice, I'm EST, usually around most nights so if you see me on just ask, though I'm generally not going to start a game much past 11pm.

[proudft]

Catfighters defeat Beetles 0-2, but it was a moral Khemri victory, as the Amazons are pretty fucked up now and there was not a single undead injury.  

I had a major major major bonehead moment in the first half that (most probably) cost me a TD.  Handoff from thro-ra to skeleton, failed roll (no surprise) but it bounced into his hands anyway (or so I thought).  Off he goes, clear line to the goal, with a tomb guardian bodyguard to boot!  Yes, the half will be tied and I receive!  All signs point to victory!

Hey, why is the ball highlighter still on the thro-ra?  Oh, it bounced back onto him.  


GUYS WAIT UP GUYS

[lamaros]

Hey Falc, when is the best time for you?

I assume a weekend evening for me and a morning for you would work best, as otherwise we're looking at very early morning my time.

[Comstar]

Amazons 2 over Khemri 0 BB manager is still down, which is a pity, because this match was epic.

I ended the game with my star +1ST/Block/Dodge/Might Blow/Side Step/Tackle blitzer at -1MV. A star catcher and lines women out for next game and 2 badly hurt. My second thrower gained a skill. The Khermi team gained 3 skill upgrades out of mashing my team into the ground. I started the 2nd half with only 7 girls on the pitch and ended the game with 5 left.

An easy 3 turn TD by the Amazons was foiled by some good placement by proudft. The ball carrier was pinned on the sidelines for several turns but eventually a TD was scored late in the first half.

I thought the game was going to end in another loss by the second half, with only half a team on the pitch and the Khermi at full strength. After moving the ball down-field, the UI struck again when the ball was...misplaced and the ball carrier left wide open. However, a failed dodge meant the error wasn't a problem. With 3 turns to go, the ball carrier made a run for the TD line...only 3 squares away. But he was uncovered, and the only 3 standing girls were able to blitz him and grab the ball.

The undead swiftly (for them) moved to block this, and only a desperate throw over their heads freed the ball. Now only 3 Amazons on the other side of the pitch stood in the way of the entire Khermi team.

The ball carrier took off with 3 undead in pursuit. Leaving them behind, nothing seemed to be able to stop another Amazon TD.

...until Darth Vader with his lighting bolt came out of nowhere and zapped the ball carrier!

The last amazon in range of a TD took off and picked up the ball, but the 3 undead were right behind her. One brave girl stayed behind to try and slow them down, but a Blitz-ra dodged past here(!) and was right behind with both sides using every GFI they could.

Right on the score line, on the very last turn, a quick dodge, and a 2-0 score ended.

Proudft really deserved a draw, the amount of Amazon Bullshit that happened in the last 4 turns was too much.


With 3 players out for my next match, I can only hope that IainC's Wood Elves are as beat up as I am.

[Ginaz]

Is BB manager still down?  I can't get it to work.  I'd like to submit my frustrating 1-1 tie with goblins.   On the bright side I injured a metric fuck-tonne of goblins, including all of his secret weapon dudes.  Kailas will be seriously shorthanded for his next match.

[Ulysees]

Hazardous Hippies 2 - The Minizilla's 1

For the first time the 2 minutes turn bit me in the arse.

First half was a comedy of failed pickups and hand-offs leading to Teleku scoring in turn 5 on my drive, fortunately I took Teleku's advice for the remaining three turns and since his kick-off let me cage up in the centre I took advantage of that while setting up a sidelline cage for my next move which went ok but Teleku managed to get back a double bank of cover so I blitzed one elf away leaving my skink needing to dodge through three red squares to tie the half with no re-rolls left. I have to say I wasn't particulalry hopeful given my dice so far but the slippery bugger waltzed past Teleku's thrower to score the equaliser on half time.

Second half Teleku scores a typical 2 turn touchdown and I form a standard cage up the middle in reply on my own drive, again trying a feint I setup a skink in a sideline cage and Teleku puts a heavy defence in front of that leavng the centre pretty clear bar 2 elves, one of which is currently marked and just when I needed it most I couldn't buy a POW and break my own cage relying on taking one of them down. As the seconds tick by I keep on looking at my options but I can't make a safe cage and to my horror there are only 10 seconds of the turn left with my ball holding skink in easy reach of a wardancer so I promptlly scurry as far away as I can hoping to be safe, which proved a forlorn hope as in the next turn Teleku frees his wardancer and blitzed the skink knocking the ball loose.

I get some players back to mark but am backpeddling like crazy as the elves flood up the pitch cutting off my own support and with 2 turns left Teleku lepaps his wardancer away from the markers and runs into the far corner out of reach of any of my Saurus'. I hit a few elves and setup a 1die block with 2 skinks to stop the score and now the dice come through as I score a POW to pop the ball free and Teleku fails a dodge trying to mark the ball carrying skink leaving me 1 turn to score the equaliser with no re-rolls and a short pass going to be needed. I blitz the elf marking my skink in scoring range but not wanting to risk pushing the marker onto the skink I risk a GFI blitz which predictably fails to prevent an epic equaliser from materialising.

Was a very good match, though I don't know how I just don't seem to be able to manufacter hits against Teleku's woodelves and he got off very lightly, I don't think I scored a single injury on the block dice but I stil have goblins to come - here's hoping I can get a bit more block through the team after that match 

BBmanager is still down so hopefully one of us will get the replay uploaded when it comes back up.

[Kail]

Squigskins tie Slann the Man, 1-1.

Replay here until we can figure out BBManager

Lizards won the kickoff and elected to receive, driving up the side of the field.  I lost a lot of players early on, but throwing everyhing I had at the ball carrier in a slew of stupid decisions I somehow managed to land a bomb in the middle of his cage and slow down his advance.  It wasn't enough, unfortunately, and my bomber's promotion to "star player" was postponed when he bungled his next throw and landed the shot in the mouth of the looney standing right behind him, seriously injuring both of them.  With the lizards taking my team apart, I ran out of players, and the lizards ran the ball in on turn 8.  I tried a goblin toss on turn 8, but alas, it was not to be, and I had to burn a reroll to prevent my troll from eating the poor guy.

In the second half, goblins received, and spent the first few turns weaving around trying to find a hole, but the Lizards kept a solid formation.  Eventually, my chainsawer opened up a hole in the enemy line, and I tried to run the ball through, but Ginaz blitzed my pogoer down and got the ball free.  Fortunately, his skink missed the pickup roll (a recurring theme for Ginaz in this game) and the ball bounced to my linegoblin, who ducked out of the melee and ran it in.  

With four turns left, I was trying to prevent another score by the lizards, but was confounded when my chainsawer was struck upon the bonce by a raving dinosaur, seriously injuring him.  Fortunately, I managed to get underfoot enough to force Ginaz to burn through all his rerolls, and when I managed to dodge a goblin in and blitz his ball carrier, he spent the rest of the match trying to pick it up and failing.

Unfortunately, my team suffered seven casualties (would have been eight, he nearly killed my pogoer in the first drive) including my bomber, chainsawer, and looney, so I'll be a bit undermanned next game.  Only scored two casualties against the lizards (one skink and one saurus), both with minor injuries.  Many red skulls were rolled this game, I think both of us got hit with some bad Nuffle mojo (Ginaz poor skinks who could not pick up the ball no matter how hard they tried), but I consider it a lucky escape.

[Cancklebiter]

Looks like BB Manager is back up and running.

[Scadente]

Who can tell me what Scandente/Krummi is called on steam?

Hi yeah, I'm GMT, and weekend-ish is best for me. Although I am availible most days between 18:00 - 24:00 this week.

[eldaec]

I'm on gmt+2, so shouldn't be difficult to catch each other - will look out on steam.

[Celer]

Thursday looks to be a good option if you can play mid-dayish (say between 11am and 3pm or so).

I'll look out for you on Steam when I get home from work and if that doesn't happen then we'll try and organise something at the weekend.

Iaian: Change of plan, there are things going on Thursday that will prevent me from playing during my afternoon.  If mid-dayish Wednesday will work I can shuffle my work schedule, otherwise we'll shoot for the weekend.

[Teleku]

Uh, so BB Manager is messing up for me.  I'm able to log in now, but when I try to upload a match, no matter which one I select, it uploads it as my last game, which was a Norse/Amazon game I played against Comstar.  I submitted the correct one just to see, and even online its still showing the wrong stuff.  I deleted the save game and restarted BBManger, but it still detects that as the teams.  I cant figure out how to change it.

So can somebody tell me how to fix this, or could my opponents please upload the match's?  I haven't submitted my victory against Falc in the Feeder League tournament either.

[Ingmar]

You have to watch the replay of the one you want, then BBM will treat it as the last game. I think.

[proudft]

I submitted Catfighters v. Beetles, there is also some imaginary match up there between Comstar's Walker Blue Buoys and my My Little Pony Elves, and I dunno wtf that is or where it came from.  Maybe Comstar tried to submit ours and it made that thing instead?

Edit: oh that might be the Teleku submission.  But it's Norse v. Elf, so maybe not.  

[AndyDavo]

As for weeknights, I'm available from about 8 pm CST (so 2 AM-ish for you?) until about 10 pm CST. 

I'm about at 2am tonight my time, which is in about 6hrs time of this post. sorry 5 hrs time. see u  then

[eldaec]

Silver Horde	4
Gentlemens Club	1

Fast start as elves stream into the Horde's half, but not enough dudes are guarding the ball, the elf thrower is overwhelmed. And Horde score an early defensive touchdown, 1 - 0.

The Gentlemen quickly equalise with some straightforward bullshit 2 turn play, 1-1

But it leaves the horde 3 turns to score again, which is enough as the Pro Elf numbers are starting to think out. Eric Stronginthearm finishes the half with his first ever foul, despite having had Dirty Player for three seasons or something - Elf hypnotic gaze guy is hospitalised, but unfortunately Eric is sent off. 2-1 at half time, the Gentlemens Club are down to about 8 players, Horde down to 11.

The Silver Horde receive in the second half, score through a traditional rolling cage, with about quarter of the game left. 3-1

Final drive and we're really running out of elves, the Club get bogged down on their left, and the Horde quickly crush all resistance. 4-1



Looking at BBManager, Scadente suffered from an awful lot of dodging turnovers, lack of widespread dodge on his dudes, and a lot of 1 rolls pretty much did for him.

For the Silver Horde, it is a good day for upgrades, Caleb the Ripper (wolf) and Immortal Jenkins (STR4 thrower) reach level 4, Bruce the Hoon (zerker) makes it to level 2. Nobody is injured and with Old Vincent (kick dude) returning, they'll be at full strength next time out.

The Gentlemens Club suffered 2 fatalities, Adam Smith (linelf) and Lloyd Blankfein (blitzer) have shuffled off their respective mortal coils. 5 more elves were badly hurt, but no lasting damage. No new levels unfortunately.

Can do the same time Wednesday too. Let me know what time.

[Ingmar]

Paelos, tonight will be occupied with the setting up of new desktop  but I should be free basically any evening the rest of the week.
