Season 7 Day 7: It's the Final Countdown!

[HaemishM]

Anyone who played in the all-snotling league knows just how unfun that game would end up being.

SidestepSidestepSidestep

FUCK, I got to literally LOATHE the idea of playing those games. I had totally blocked that shit out.

[IainC]

The first ball in the Euromillions lottery was a 1 as can be seen here. Ezrast has chosen poorly...

This means that if R3dknight wins or draws in his game vs Ingmar, the Tamurkhan table will be as follows:

1: Lamaros
2: IainC
3: R3dknight
4: Proudft
---------------
5: Ezrast
6: Ingmar
7: Fildrigar
8: Satael

If Ingmar wins then the table is like this instead:

1: Lamaros
2: IainC
3: Ingmar
4: R3dknight
---------------
5: Proudft
6: Ezrast
7: Fildrigar
8: Satael

[Ingmar]

And the potential opponents for those 3/4 slots are Luckton, Llyse, and Teleku.

[Teleku]

Yeah.  So it seems that (assuming I don't take first in Hordes, which is most likely), I'm up against either Ingmar or RK47.  HMMMMMMMMMMMM.....

[lamaros]

I'm cheering for Carnifex and Falc! No lizards, please!!

[Megrim]

Isn't Carnifex Lizards?

[lamaros]

Isn't Carnifex Lizards?

Yeah but if he wins I'll play Celer in the playoffs :)

[carnifex27]

Carnifex checked my schedule and am going to be busy until Monday 29th or Tuesday 30th - I seem to recall that you work funny hours so evening UK time are actually viable for you to do so can you play either of those days next week? If not then given that it's my lack of availability that is the issue (damn being an outfit lead on PS2 and having so much shit going off this week) then I am prepared to foreit my match.

I actually just got promoted, so I have regular people times (7am-4pm workdays) now. If you can stay up late or wake up early we can probably figure something out. I get home around 5:30 pm, which is 1:30 am gmt. I'd be willing to stay up late if you waking up early is a better option.

[Ulysees]

Hmm, I have to walk the dog of a morning so could get up at 7am on Saturday and play around 8am GMT+1 unfortunately I have to leave early for work most days so staying up late or getting up extra early during the week is an issue so would my Saturday morning your friday night or same for my Sunday morning your Saturday night be possible?

[carnifex27]

Friday night works great for me. I'll see you then.

[eldaec]

I've just noticed I have a player who has survied 36 matches and not picked up a single SPP.

In that time he has sustained 1011 Casualties and 16 KOs.

[eldaec]

Ermine Vermin - 2
Bleating - 2

Bleating the drawmasters finish the season unbeaten, but fail to qualify.

Statzor:

Vermin

Blocks : 9/13
Dodge : 46/66
Pickup : 5/6
GFI : 4/7

Bleating

Blocks : 34/56
Dodge : 3/3
Pickup : 4/7
GFI : 11/13
Really Stupid : 7/11

Was a bit of a strange game - the Nurgle needed to hurry along because only a win would do - wheras the rats mostly wanted to stay alive.

The game did feature Cheddar Persille's first ever failed GFI for the line, but he scored a couple of turns later - so don't panic, he wasn't hurt or anything.

Final division table I think (last match can't change positions):

1)   Ermine Vermin
wtf?
2)   The First Ladies
"I won't do well this season", comes second, is Ruvaldt.
3)   Nifty Helemts -
Gruntle seems to have had a late season epithany with regard to scoring touchdowns, not just just kicking the other team
4)   Zellar DwellerZ -
Desperately trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory Haemish hangs on despite three straight losses.
5)   Understone Raiders
New coach, yet knocked out only on tiebreakers.
6)   Bleating
Unbeaten, unqualifed. idk
7)   Blitzburg Brewers
New team, new coach, but a strong finish at least.
8)   The Mutiny  

[HaemishM]

HAPPY RAT DANCE!!!!!

[Ruvaldt]

1)   Ermine Vermin
wtf?

Not a surprise to me.  I predicted exactly that in my Season 7 prediction post.  Congrats on the top seed, Eldaec.  Hell of a team you've got.  Shame I haven't killed more of them in the three matches I've played against them...

Edit: Oh, and congrats to Haemish on his first playoff berth, I think?

[HaemishM]

Yes, my first, thus the happy rat dance. When I didn't lose to you first game, I had a glimmer of hope that I might actually squeak in. I didn't expect to win as many as I did, however.

[avaia]

Tough season for me.  A couple of key deaths and too many draws.  Failoffs, ho!

Wishlist for next season:

1) Less than 3 skaven teams in my division.
2) Be in a division that Gruntle isn't in.
2.5) Be in a division Runvaldt isn't in.  Actually, I don't mind this, always a fun match.  But 2 items does not a wishlist make!

Edit: this is the first time Bleating didn't make the playoffs. 

[IainC]

All the playoff spots are now decided for all divisions except Tamurkhan. There can still be some changes to the final placements in the other divisions but as of now, we know who is going to the Playoffs and who is destined for the Failoffs.

Luckton, sorry about not catching you Monday/Tuesday on your days off but sadly I got home late from work both nights, Are you moderately free this weekend? Or do you have another weekend of worK?

[Reborne]

Wrestlers 2 - 2 Bring Back the Biff

This game was a lot of fun.
I believe this is the first time I've gotten a rating of 20/20

There were snotlings flying and Ogre on Ogre action.

Schpain came so close to having his first win when I managed to score on the last turn, thanks to Sid Vicious (my ball carrying ogre) who put in a grand effort all game.

Of course, MVP went to a snotling who I think may have spent the entire time on the bench.

Worth watching if you have the time 

[rk47]

Ingmar just look me up when you want to play the game.
Right now I'm at work 1000 - 1900
Usually at home around 2000 - 2300

[Ingmar]

We are scheduled for Saturday, so the playoff picture will be UNCLEAR for a few more days.

[IainC]

There are 6 games left to play before next Tuesday. Ingmar v RK47 and Carnifex v Ulysees are scheduled but how are the other four shaping up?

[luckton]

Getting lunch and having my beagle groomed.  Will be home in an hour to ping Catfud

Sjofn and I should wrap up our game this weekend.

[Gruntle]

Wishlist for next season:

1) Less than 3 skaven teams in my division.
2) Be in a division that Gruntle isn't in.

Edit: this is the first time Bleating didn't make the playoffs. 

Why, what did I do?!

(Actually over the three seasons where we've shared a division -- I skipped 5 and surprisingly we weren't lumped togethe in #3 -- our in-division record against each other is 1-1-1 and i think my win was against your previous team, the Necco Waivers)

[avaia]

Just that we're always in the same division, nothing else.

[eldaec]

I've had at least 3 gruntle match ups as well.

Draw hax!

[Llyse]

Getting lunch and having my beagle groomed.  Will be home in an hour to ping Catfud

Was passed out will be fighting beagle owners this weekend with Luckton not working

[proudft]

Lightfax v. Danica is submitted (by me because Lightfax is apparently afraid of .net or something), 2-0 chaos dorf victory.

[Ulysees]

Looks like I missed Carnifex by a few minutes though I don't blame him going to bed after a hard days work staying up until 1am and not knowing if your opponent is going to make it or not is not the greatest motivator for staying awake. Will see if I can catch you online tonight after my planetside 2 OP (should be around 3-5pm your time by my reckoning which is not great cos I suck at math).

[Ingmar]

The Banned claw their way into the playoffs with a bloody, rainy 3-1 win. Sorry proudft!



My injury dice were really, really good in this one - RK was playing with fewer guys on the field for most of the game, which negated his guard advantage, which was my main worry coming into the game. KO wakeup rolls were good for both sides - at one point RK had 4 guys all wake up on the same kickoff, without any Bloodweiser babe help. The rain caused some problems for both sides with pickup rolls.

Permanent injuries:

- my loser ghoul died on a failed dodge roll
- one of his catchers has a fractured skull (-AV)
- Fractured arm on a human lineman but I think that's just a MNG and not a niggle.

He also apothecaried to save a different catcher from -str.

[Ingmar]

Let's welcome our replacement ghoul:

[Teleku]

So does that mean its Ingmar vs. myself first round, unless Luckton beats the hell out of Llyse?

Also, that name would be more appropriate on a player with mutation access.  Specifically tenticles.   

[Ingmar]

If Llyse wins I play you and Llyse plays RK. If they tie, I play Llyse and you play RK. If Luckton wins, I play Luckton and you play RK. I think.

I missed you this time :( I got on at 3:30 my time and you were already off line.  I'll stay up late and check around 11 pm to midnight my time tonight.
