[Sjofn]

Here come the Norse, bitches.

[Ingmar]

My bracket is strange. The 3rd bashiest team is... humans?

[avaia]

Llyse is likely bashier than I am... for now.

[lamaros]

I'm going to be busy for the next 24 hours, but after that we might be able to fit the game in Ulysses. Will be tricky with the timezone, and I'm not at home so hopefully my ports wont stop things happening properly.

[Llyse]

Llyse is likely bashier than I am... for now.

I thought Bann would be 2nd and me or you 3rd Avaia 

[lamaros]

Umm, are you guys all forgetting my Rat Ogre?

[avaia]

Hard to tell all those furry things apart.

[Ice Cream Emperor]

Bann,

My holiday availability is pretty crap, so I'm hoping you can play the game this Wednesday or Thursday evening. The 24th could also work, actually, but after that I am at Christmas and then out of town until the 29th -- with something booked for the 30th.

I am PST. I could also play during the day any of Tuesday - Thursday.

[Llyse]

Com, I'm ok to play Friday night but the weekend is up in the air.

I'll definitely be free I just don't know when though so maybe Wednesday night would be best?

[Comstar]

Catfud pm on steam whenever you see me and play. The two most experiences teams in the league go head to head. One win, one loss and one draw each, I predict a close game. However,. Alive not Dead has the clear skill advantage.

[Ingmar]

Beardstorm! 2 - Bleating 1 in OVERTIME. Fairly unremarkable game from a casualty point of view, I was lucky to be able to equalize in 3 turns in the first half, since it took me 12 turns to score in the 2nd.

Falc, the league is not created yet in BBL so I uploaded it as a day 8 match to the regular season, lest I lose the replay somehow before you have it set up.

Darn! Bloody Dwarves!

I can sack my Rat Ogre and get a Wizard. So very tempting.

[avaia]

I can't say I should've won this one, but I definitely shouldn't have given up the score at the end of the half.  Ingmar had some good rolls to pull that one out, and I facilitated it with overcommitting to one side of the pitch.  My block dice were quite good on the opening drive, and it's possibke I could've scored a turn later, but I'm fine with the pacing in the first half.  If I could've had better armor rolls in the first I would've pulled it out.

The second half found the dwarves doing what they do best, knocking people out.  In spite of this, I was able to pull off that famous nurgle dodge game and knock the ball lose and make a break for the goal with a warrior around turn 12/13/14 or so.  I attempted a double GFI to try and score (this after dodging out of two markers, knocking down the BC wizard had knocked down the BC before doing this, and picking up with a reroll on an AG 2 dude); the first GFI worked, the second, not so much.  Lots of dodges for me, I don't think I failed one until very late in the game, so more fortunate dice for me.

All injuries made their regen rolls, so things are all good on my side.  Fun match.  Next year, look the fuck out.

Here come the Norse, bitches.

The Ex-Presidents do not misunderestimate their opponents.  They have...

[Ulysees]

Don't know if our timezones will be in synch enough for a weeknight match Lamaros but will look for you on steam and if you are around we cna get out match in. Otherwise how is your availability christmas eve? I have some things to do in the morning but should be able to fit you in around 11am GMT if that is workable for you?

[Falconeer]

Falc, the league is not created yet in BBL so I uploaded it as a day 8 match to the regular season, lest I lose the replay somehow before you have it set up.

That's the right thing to do.

Day 8 for 1/8 finals, day 9 for 1/4, day 10 for 1/2 and day 11 for the Final match.

That'd be late evening here, which should be doable.

Hey, that actually works well for me. Im CST, and today is my last day of work. I'll be around all day Wednesday through Friday. Looking forward to it!

[drogg]

teleku! find me on steam!  should be around tonight after work (6ish PST).

the battle soon commences for the right to lose to the dark elves

[Strazos]

Andy, my availability will be pretty spotty as the job tends to keep me late most nights and I'm not up late too much these days. Also have I think 3 holiday events this weekend, so...

If you see me online give me a holler and we'll see how possible it is. I think I'm UTC+2 or some nonsense nowadays (probably whatever time Helm/Falconeer are).

[AndyDavo]

for the benifit of the tape...

we spoke on steam and agred to play "when we had time". IE TBC

[Teleku]

teleku! find me on steam!  should be around tonight after work (6ish PST).

Sounds good, I should be around as well.  Indeed, not looking forward to winning if I actually do.  I was hoping to draw the match up with Lamaros so I could spend the next few games playing speed/scoring duels.  But alas!

[Strazos]

Hey hey hey now, my injury dice could actually work properly. 

[Teleku]

The magic of African internet will invigorate your dice!  Just be sure to sacrifice a chicken before the game.

[drogg]

2-1 HHB over Teleku's brave elves in a real nailbiter made possible by a host of KOs and blinding sunlight.  whew.  at one point he had three elves left on the field and i decided to score early in the first overtime to give him a fighting chance...and both wardancers woke up and immediately put me back in panic mode.  thankfully his mega catcher failed a leap and knocked himself out in his last drive, or i would've been in trouble.

andy's next, the first time i'll have ever played him.  i better start training 

[Teleku]

I'll discuss the game later once my fists have healed.

Congratulations Drogg!!! Glad to see one of my last season competitors do well. 

Bad luck Teleku (especially to your computer monitor!), there's always next year... 

[Strazos]

Too bad African electricity is currently fouling my ability to play - got the new dsl line installed in the office, but once I moved the transformer and plugged in a power strip, I tripped all major circuits in the house. Turns out that it seems all outlets on the second floor are on the same circuit and ungrounded...so I will have to move my gear Back downstairs before trying to play. :(

[Bann]

Ice, You still out there? Steam says you havent been online for 2 days. I'm around all day/evening today and tomorrow, but then gone 24-31. Lets get it on!

[Comstar]

LLyse I'm home tonight- PM via steam so I can lose to you and go play Eve.

[Comstar]

Alive not Dead | 0 - 1 | F13 Catfighters

Both teams took strategic bonuses- I dropped a lineswomen and Llyse dropped a reroll and bought a assistant coach and cheerleader (who did nothing). The dropped player meant I could get a babe, as did Llyse with our cash. The babe helped me win the match.

The Amazons received the kick off and an early KO and an recovered injury to a Wright. However, Llyse equalled the damage and almost stopped me getting an early TD when he broke me too loose cage on the midway line. It took some fancy footwork to get out of the trap I had placed myself in and get a turn 6 TD. Strangely, Llyse seems to have given up trying for a 2 turn TD with his wolves and just damaged me some more instead. All my KO'ed players work up for the 2nd half thanks to the babe.

The 2nd half had Llyse controlling my game, with 5 KO'ed girls and 2 more badly hurt. However, i was able to trade some space for time, and on turn 14 his sheer mass of players going down the flank got in front of each other. Despite only 3 girls standing in the way of 8 undead, the undead overloaded themselves and their very numbers doomed them. Having sidestep on my defenders helped too. I was able to knock down the ball carrier and send it next to the sideline. A failed pickup inside a tacklezone sent it into the crowd and into the middle of the pitch, where one marked Amazon broke free and picked it up. A failed blitz to knock her down sealed the game 1-0. Only 4 Amazons were left standing at the end.

Llyse gets 2 consolation skill ups, and I get to face an entire team of tackling blocking guarding Dwarves. **** Dwarves.

[Strazos]

Andy, I'll try to look for you late tonight, or some point tomorrow - I'm back online. 

[Ingmar]

[mrburns] Excellent. <drums fingers> [/mrburns]

[Strazos]

Too many doubles rolls on level up.
