Blood Bowl League 3.4 Week 5

[Huung]

I can no longer make tonight due to work.

Will be on a late tomorrow, am off on Sunday though. Hope that is ok with Huung

Still fine by me. Poke me when you're available

 

[Lebe666]

Panda... plenty of times I've used my wolves in "combat" even if they are carrying the ball. Of course way more carefully and chosen... but overall I agree that the wolves should be free from ball duties.

 

[Dreamy]

On the other hand - you can only blitz once per turn, so the other wolf is free to carry the ball..

 

[Lebe666]

I do have the bad habit of blitzing with the ball wolf... but then its not what they expect.

 

[Lebe666]

So Orobi also falls to "Modern Life Evils" !! 3-1 please validate.

320k inducements... he got bribes and Re-Rolls...

Elves chose to kick... but the "E Z Mode" Orcs didn't see much of the ball. All but 3 elves just flooded their backfield... the poor thrower tried too many long passes.

Catcher "Venereal Disease" caught the ball... or the ball got venereal disease ?! But an orc blitzer knocked him over... but then in came "Nagging Wife II" to pickup and score !

New kick... new backfield invasion... this time catcher "Facebook" managed to score 2-0. The orcs have small chance of equalizer...

2nd Half


Orcs kick... High Elves do their standard send 3 receivers and keep Thrower deep with ball. Orcs try to cover the path... but the thrower takes a risky 1 GFI and passes cleanly to Facebook again who score 3-0.

With some coaching this time Orobi is more careful... with the thrower not throwing and moving with some cover. The orcs spread a defense line in LOS that is hard to get thru... only Venereal Disease slips by to try and hassle the thrower. The orcs grind slowly ahead. Low Salary gets badly hurt & Getting Fat is KO'd.

Near the end the orc thrower is vulnerable from the back and Venereal Disease goes for a 1 dice block and the ball is down ! During the scrum the ball goes over elves and is out of reach it seems... but the goblin helps cover the ball. A failed pickup by the elves means that the orcs on the 16th turn have one last chance... a blitzer pushes away the lone elf marking the ball and Orc Blitzer "Fark" makes his try at glory... pickup OK ! Run ! 1 GFI ... OK ! TD !! 3-1 final score

Thanks for the nice chat Orobi ! Hope I wasn't too pedantic !

So next season its Div 1 or 2 for me !! Facebook, Bills and Nagging Wife II get a level up ! Blitzer Your BOSS is MVP + 1 cas !

Given a 5-0-0 record - you're probably ending up in Div 1 with me. Enjoy your massive inducements

 

[Orobi]

Lebe you were a star, very patient and helpful needless to say if you guys run another season E Z Mode probably wont be making a comeback, you've all helped me learn a lot and ive been practising with some other teams so hopefully will do a bit better next time round, been damn good fun though, and i look forward to more games with a nice crowd

Shouldn't nagging wife II actually be called 'mid life crisis stripper', 'messy divorce rebound trophy wife' or 'Mail order Thai bride to avoid dying alone' ?

Do you guys not watch sport? You do know that he's not going to get promoted from D3 straight to D1, he has to go through D2 first, barring some sort of incredible drop out rate.

Verified.

Thanks Orobi ! We all were begginers one time... I started playing in October...

Add me to your friend list and if I'm online we can always play a Auld/Naggaroth match

I know I spotted Hoverdogs Norse going straight from D3 to D1 without me noticing any incredible amounts of dropouts. But hey, your league

This was because of dropouts when we went from 4 divisions to 3. Dropouts from D1 and 2 were high, and so they essentially got combined. Hoverdog won D3 last season, and so got promoted to D2, which was then combined into D1.

 

[Dreamy]

Fair enough. I'd still say Lebe would be more useful in Div 1 (which could manage without the bye week, which could be a div 2 and 3 thing, for building and rebuilding teams)

Just some thoughts, I won't argue further about them.

 

[Lebe666]

My TV is 1510 with these last 3 lvl ups... but i've got 90 k gold.

Seems midway between Div 1 and 2 TV...

 

[Dreamy]

I dare say you should be getting 100k more - but that we'll know for sure in a couple of days.

And it's not only about TV, skill is involved too. (Or halflings would never win anything )

 

[Huung]

Heard nothing from bob today... and now I'm back in the land of no pc, so looks like I won't be getting this game after all

There's a slim chance I might be able to get the missus' laptop to turn on, and if so I may be able to install it for some last minute lagbowl, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[waterproofbob]

I'm really sorry huung. I completely messed up my rota due to work changing to a new system. Only just got myself back from work and fed and watered. Entirely my fault. WORSE STAND IN EVER. Sorry for messing you about all week feel really bad .

No worries mate. I believe I might be able to give you a game now if you're not too wiped, playing on an ancient laptop's touchpad, so I'm hoping I can reliably move 11 players in 4 mins

 

[Narly Bird]

I believe there is going to be a bit of a break in between this league and the next, but whenever you do kick off the new one, be sure to include my Halfling team, who are keen to make a comeback after their stellar season 2 performance.

 

[thatbloke]

I'm not Panda or one of the admins, but I suspect we will wait a minimum of two weeks now, to make sure that the Easter holiday is over, and then take a look at it then

 

[Moguai]

Sounds good to me

Incidentally, I have never heard from Hoverdog, so I am officially claiming the match for my Dwarves.
Whenever you get around to admin the game is fine by me, Panda
