Season 8 Failoffs Second Round!

[IainC]

Round 1 happened, 3 teams go home and four continue on for the dubious honour of being least rubbish.



Play these games by Thursday 27th please.

[Ingmar]

Go ogres! 

[Jaedar]

Congratulations to failoff players that have reached day 2 and especially to stabby for winning his first game this season.

Alright! Now I can end my first season in complete shame by being eliminated by Halflings! 

Professor stabby-Hime reporting in from EST (GMT-5), name your time and place good sir and we shall... err, who am I playing again?

Ramas goes by the name Eldaec on the forum.

[eldaec]

Tis me. Sunday is probably best.

[stabby the mime]

Ah, good then. Added you on steam, feel free to sort out what time works best for ya Sunday so we can figure the time differential.

[Reborne]

Go ogres! 

Talked to Satael the other day and based on time difference and schedules, it looks like we're aiming for the weekend.

Necro is hot favorite here.
It's almost as if stabby planned this from the start to drop out of winner's playoffs and dominate.

We clearly aren't reading the same thread.

Did you hit your head lately? Because that might explain a few things... 

[Reborne]

I don't know what's going on but I have a deep sense of dread and foreboding... 

Wrestlers 2 - 1 Theorists

So, game started badly for me.
We had some connection issues during my set up phase which meant the clock ticked down while I couldn't do anything and only got to set up half of my team.
A team that was 2 Ogres (close to 500TV) down.
Chaos, true to their nature, respond to this by kicking the ball off the field and so I give it to a snot who flies down the field only to KO on landing...

The rest of the first half was a mess of applied theory and by that I mean there was a point where I only had 1 snotling standing and the rest of my team was either on the ground or off the pitch.
Thankfully the injuries only started in the second half.

Half time was 0 - 0
This is mainly because Satael had great dice on everything but picking up the ball.

Second half was a different story.
My snotling must have had enough of eating dirt and decided to go after the ball, swarming all over the place and actually managing to pick it up and get away with it.
Second kick gave me a blitz where I managed to get a snot under the landing and once again he actually caught it!! (then got punched in the face by pretty much every goat available)

Satael scored right near the end of the game after finally being able to pick up the ball and promptly plowing through everything in his way.
He managed to kill a level 1 snot, give a niggling injury to a second level 1 snot and reduce the movement of a level 4 snot.
Games like this make me glad for saving my money.

Sid Vicious got my MVP and is 4SPP off level 6

Wrestlers 2 - 1 Theorists

It was a nice game to end the season on since I lost mainly due to my own mistakes and not the dice (though failing to pick up the ball for many turns in a row was a bit frustrating). The only other gripe is that the star player took the mvp for my team.

[rk47]

My pick of stabby winning playoff still stands. Jolly good, Canada.

[IainC]

I am unironically excited at the prospect of a Halflings v Ogres Failoff Final.

[stabby the mime]

Suddenly I find myself motivated enough to win this thing, as the opportunity to deal with a pesky asterix is not one I want to pass up before I drop the team.

Think it's time for wee little stabby to put on the game face.  

Edit: By the way eldaec, is tomorrow still posible for you (well, technically your today I guess). Haven't heard a follow up from you, and curiousity and all. If not, I'd wager that currently the time difference (UK, right?) shouldn't be too hard to overcome given my current schedule, though that may change at the drop of a hat.

[eldaec]

Should be online from around 10.00 your time.

[eldaec]

....running late, apologies.

[stabby the mime]

No worries, I woke up late myself so it's no matter.

Then again, I did start my day with a proper 'stabby' moment so now when sitting down I've got to choose between mind-numbing pain in either my lower back or my knee. Going to have to back out of a match today, as I'm going to lie down for a good long while and my netbook can't handle BB beyond roster management.

You should still be able to find me on steam to see how we can reschedule though.

[eldaec]

Game postponed to either wednesday or thursday.

Get well soon!

[stabby the mime]

Well, Halfings and Necro played today, and it was an odd case as the story is different than what the block dice seem to show.
