32 coaches entered and only one will leave the Thunderdome of the finals. RK47 came in with a new team and has fought his way to the very last game of the season. His opponent Ramas by contrast has a team that are veterans of several seasons but despite that the two teams have almost identical TVs. In any case it all comes down to 16 turns of Nuffle's fickle affections.
Knights of Codexia vs Ermine Vermin Let's get this done. Please play at your earliest convenience. I'm not going to set a timelimit on this game but try and figure it out as soon as you can so that we can close this puppy up and go home. I'm going to be out indefinitely from Thursday night as I'm moving to Madrid and I need to find an apartment and get internet service there before I will have BloodBowl access again. It's possible that I'll be able to log in from my office but it's not guaranteed. Ingmar is able to validate games and close out the league if required however. |

Wow, the rookie gets to the final? This is what happens when you keep the AndyDavo out.

Also I doubt someone who wiped out Llyse, Ruvaldt, and Megrim, getting to the final with literally the hardest possible draw, is a blood bowl rookie.  |

Yeah, all of those coaches have made it to a Final, at the very least. Hell, two of the teams as well. It was quite a feat, and well played.

Fuck one turn touchdown rats. I went to sleep last night and had bouts of flu-induced migraine. I kept seeing those TDs over and over as I continue to toss and turn around in bed, humping Mrs. Bolster, praying for a GFI failure.  No we did not play the game yet, I've only seen the semi final replay. Fuck fuck fuck. FUUUUCKKK. |

Possession stats work out at one touchdown for every 1.25% of the game that my rats were holding the ball. |

Ah, good to see Nimrond making it to the top ranks. He's my new QB.
Alas, before playing Ingmar in the first round of playoffs, I finally retired Nealtor, champion Star QB of the last few seasons. After having BOTH of his ankles broken (reducing his speed to something like a Dwarfs!), and not being skilled up optimally anyways due to some crisis's when my team was young, he's finally turned in his Jersey. ALIVE, despite the best efforts of every one of you fuckers over the last 5 seasons.
He will be taking over on the sidelines as an assistant coach, helping to mold young Nimrond into being an even greater QB (and he's well on his way skill wise). Also easier access to the blood wiser babes and wood elf cheerleaders.

Rk47 tried really hard. Inducements on bribes and a more dedicated strategy of kicking the shit out my guys than anyone else.
I scored on turns 1 and 3, but after that on his drives I spent most of the time just running away from his guys.
BTW, cheddar finally made it to level 7 on turn 15.

It's a normal roll but haven't picked yet.
He currently has Dodge, Wrestle, Sprint, Surefeet, Leap, +1MV. (stats are 10/2/4/7)
I can see arguments for...
Dauntless
Catch
Fend
Sidestep
Sure hands
Strip Ball
Catch is best purely for the one turn process. Fend for survivability with sidestep not far behind. Strip Ball and Dauntless are great for opponent drives, but you really want both.

Yeah, I'd find it very hard to look past fend or sidestep.
