Blood Bowl League 3.3 Week 1

[Panda with issues...]

Well sports fans, welcome back to the THN Blood Bowl extravaganza, and have we got a league for you. There's a lot of fresh meat this season for the butcher's bill, in both teams and coaches. Old favourites have limped off into the sunset, some with their heads held high, others lucky to have heads still attached.

There's a real sense of excitement and 'buzz' around this season, and I'm not just talking about the flies around the top nurgle team, the Denizens of the Rotfather. We've got some young turks making the switch from another, defunct league looking to make their mark, and show the coaches from the Isle of Haven what they can do, indeed, the sport of blood bowl has never been so popular, with our league having to input a whole new division to accomodate this explosion.

Firm fan favourite coaches like thatbloke are leading new (and distinctly less lively teams) and the whole feel of the league has a decidedly more brutal edge to it. Don't expect many big plays this season folks, but expect plenty of fighting and injuries, which, to be frank, seem more popular anyway...

Without further ado:

This week's games:

Div 1:

Tempscire vs Traxata
Lucius vs Ghostwolf Rematch of the week
Xarlaxas on a bye

Div 2:

Velaphor vs Dreamy Intriguing matchup of the week
Moguai vs Kasatka
Huung on a bye Bye of the week

Div 3:

Snap Wilson vs Panda with issues... Dwarf curb-stomping of the week
Barninho vs Howeryujoncypes/Hoverdog
Narly Bird on a bye

D4:
Lebe666 vs Xylak Noob vs flings. Hilarious game of the week
thatbloke vs Fred Bucket
Comrade phil on a bye.


Bye weeks already processed. Week one will run until Sunday the 20th of November, or until all games are played, in which case, we'll get an extra long week two. There's no reason it should take almost two weeks to get this first lot of games played though.

Book 'em in!

Re: Blood Bowl League 3.3

Damn really should have got an out of season game in to get my heavy hitters back... This rematch is going to be interesting.

Re: Blood Bowl League 3.3

A spattering of skill ups for everyone on a bye week except Huung.

I guess that's why that was bye of the week...

 

[Xarlaxas]

Re: Blood Bowl League 3.3

Sweet, I'm on a Bye. Better go see if any of my Amazons have levelled up. . . .

What are the limits on stuff like re-rolls, cheerleaders, assistant coaches, etc?

8 RRs, 10 chearleaders, 10 ass coaches, 20 fan factor, 1 apothecary/necromancer I think.

DAMN! At least my bye was before the last week this season...

EDIT: WAIT! This is FANTASTIC! Every single one of my saurus has at least 5 SPP now (two of the three with no SPP were the two who got the MVPs) my injured skink is back to fighting fitness (and got another 3SPP via one of the TDs) and the other saurus with no SPP got the other TD!

My elf team which played 3 seasons, and is sitting at over 2k TV, STILL doesn't have all players with SPP!

3 more injuries from those 3 sauri, and we're looking at all 6 saurus having Block possibly by the third game of the season...

Re: Blood Bowl League 3.3

Sweet, one of my Blitzers has MA7 now.

 

[Snap Wilson]

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Elf... er, *Norse*-stomping we will go!

Can we get this done by Thursday, Panda? I'm out of town Friday-Monday.

 

[Velaphor]

DREAMMMMMYYY! I come for your blood!
Errrm 22:00 CET is 21:00 for me so indeedididode I can do that

 

[Narly Bird]

LOL @ bye of the week!

The match between Velaphor and Dreamy should be a good one. I checked out Dreamy’s team last night and its quite formidable – 2 Wardancers, Tree, 3 Catchers. But with only 1 reroll, he could be vulnerable to the well known Elvin disease oneitis.

Am looking forward to checking out who from my team skilled up. I hope its Lord Narly the Irradiated or Angry Mutant Goat. Living in Japan for around 5 years now, I have developed a fetish for tentacles, so you can expect to see me deploying them on the pitch.

 

[thatbloke]

So fred, when are you able to play? I can do evenings after about 7.30pm GMT and am available all day on the weekend at the moment

 

[Moguai]

Hi Kasatka,

looks like it's going to be hot, grunting dwarf on dwarf action at the start of the season.

I am going to be available all weekdays from about 21:00 on. At the weekend I'm free to accomodate you if necessary. I am at GMT+1.

 

[Panda with issues...]

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Elf... er, *Norse*-stomping we will go!

Can we get this done by Thursday, Panda? I'm out of town Friday-Monday.

Yep. When is good for you? I'm free most evenings between 8pm and 10pm for a start.

 

[Dreamy]

By the way, is there any BB-manager for this thing, or are we satisfied with just talking about the results?

Hi Kasatka,

looks like it's going to be hot, grunting dwarf on dwarf action at the start of the season.

What? A third dwarf team, since I am facing one this week too.
*Check*
Ah, no, you're having a Dwarf on Norse action game. More like "Tom of Finland meets the smaller minority."

DREAMMMMMYYY! I come for your blood!
Errrm 22:00 CET is 21:00 for me so indeedididode I can do that

Today is a good day to die. Or play Blood Bowl. Same thing, really.

So unless you have reasons to delay, I'd be happy to make sure week two can have extra days too.
(Clarification: By playing today )

 

[Kasatka]

Tonight (tuesday) from 2100 then?

 

[Panda with issues...]

We don't use BB manager, no.

 

[Moguai]

Oops, my bad

Kasatka, I'd prefer to play Wednesday at 21:00, since I'll have to prepare some stuff for work

 

[Kasatka]

That should be okay.

 

[Tempscire]

Alright Traxhax! I shoulod be about tomorrow and Thursday if you're up for the game then. Get back from work around 5ish.

 

[Snap Wilson]

Yep. When is good for you? I'm free most evenings between 8pm and 10pm for a start.

Er, what time zone are you in? This might be difficult, as I'm in the U.S. (PST). If we can't schedule it this week, I should be back on Tuesday and available all day to play. Normally, I'm around to play on weekends, so going forward time zones shouldn't be a problem, but with Veterans Day, the fiancee and I will be out of town.
