Touché, i hadn't considered that there was a set of rules outside of the rules of the internet.

1-1 draw between the vamps and lizards. Fairly uneventful match, with the touchdowns being pretty much a direct result of incompetent players on either side :p
 
BiG D and I have played out another violent game to add to my small collection of brutal encounters.

It finished 1 - 1.

So, in my usual unbiased (cough) and often lengthy style... With Vampires and Lizardmen taking to the pitch, it was always going to be about blood at some point or other. The side plot of this tale however was one of two Skinks. One who seems to be able to dodge his way out of anything (including a group of two Thralls and a Vampire) The other the world's worst catcher in history, as he failed to pickup a kickoff for three turns.

The first turns were a battle. The Vampires battling their urges to suck the blood of the Thralls. The Lizardmen battling to spill the blood of Thralls first. Round 1 seemed to be a stalemate as one Vampire heavily stunned one Thrall, whilst another sent one KOd to the bench. Unfortunately the ball carrier also failed to give up the ball whilst biting into his team mate and promptly fumbled it. The Lizardmen seized the opportunity and sent several Thralls to spend the game with the medical teams. This allowed a Skink, who will now be known as Dodgy Dodgerson to his friends (if he has any that is) to run his way to a TouchDown through a depleted Feeders team, slamming the ball down, only for it to land on his brain-dead head. The half ended with much cursing from the Vampires for their uncontrollable hunger, which has inevitably cost them dear. Score 1 - 0 to Spike-a-thon.

Having elected to Kick in the first half, the Lizardmen expected a similar half to the first. The designated catcher had other ideas. With the rest of the team watching he failed dramatically. Having survived a smashed collar bone thanks to the intervention of an apothecary in the first half, he couldn't manage to collect a kick off for three turns allowing the Feeders to gather in number an eventually run the ball over the line for an easy TouchDown after 4 turns. With 4 turns remaining and angered by the failings of the catcher, the Lizardmen chose to go down the route of "smash bones, get touchdowns later" Bizarrely this nearly led to a touchdown in the final turn, with the dodgy Skink from the first half avoiding the advances of 4 players to get hold of the ball one square from the Vampire endzone, unfortunately for Spike-a-thon he ran out of legs and couldn't make it over the line. There the game finished with a final score of 1 - 1.

Good game with Velaphor this evening. 2-0 to Storm Heroes. A Wight almost re-died and a lot of humans were KOed, only to come back again for the next drive. Injuries on both sides, one of which puts a Ghoul out for next game. Hard fought.

What're you missing for your next game? :p

I just managed to scrape a loss with Dragon, at 3-2 to him. 11 times I attempted to pick up the ball... 9 times I failed.

Watching this replay will bring tears of laughter to your eyes as the skaven perform a rattish dance amongst the elves, merrily leaping in and out of tackle zones whist the elves do a worse job of handling the ball than a double amputee.

EDIT: Good to know the chances of 9 1s in 11 rolls is 1 in 263,852 though. Should mean I won't see it happening again for at least another... 3 matches? :p

Its not impossible :P though you can be sure that you probably won't see that many 1s in your pick up rolls ;)

And at least I won't get that many attacker down rolls xD

EDIT; Oh and I'd like to bring something up: Shouldn't we take gombols games out of the league? If he does not want to play any games anymore it's rather unfair that the ppl now won't get that many spps as the ones who actually played against him and *whistle* ppl who got a loss admined against them would be happier :P

The only games we can affect are ones that haven't yet been validated. After validation, they're set in stone, even if a team is then dropped from the league.

Even so, it's pretty unlikely that we'd do anything to games that have already been played; after all, they actually happened and redacting because stuff changed later seems like the wrong way to go and sets a bad precedent (i.e. you may think you know what happened but, at any point, we might decide to go back and make it different).

That said, at this moment Gombol has only missed one game, shortly to be two, and I've had a report he that he pretty much threw a game in there too. While, from a league standpoint, we might be a bit wary of accepting him into another on account of dropping part way through, he would (in theory) still be able to recover that situation by picking up his games from here. I don't think that's going to happen but I've not had any direct information to the contrary.
