Blood Bowl Off Season 3.2

[Viajero]

Ah ok, interesting. But those dummy teams have to be submitted by someone no? Or is there a way to create actually dummy teams in cyanide that I wasnt aware of?

this is one of the things I asked Cyanide to implement but have largely ignored so far among many other issues... ability to create leagues of any odd or even number of players.

But those dummy teams have to be submitted by someone no?

Yes. Earlier in the thread is a list of coaches that also explicitly mentions which coaches are masters of dummy teams.

 

[thatbloke]

we have plenty of people at the moment who could play but aren't going to play due to time/availability or whatever - it is those people who are just making a dummy team and are throwing it into one of the divisions for us

 

[Dreamy]

And for this sacrifice we thank them

And for this sacrifice we thank them

Speaking of which.

I have bye week teams for Ronin and bob, but Dragon and Big D have been suffering with steam not letting them start the game up.

I'd appreciate it if anyone else on THN who's played in the past could maybe step in and help out?

I'm thinking Aelisha, paddy obrien, vibroaxe etc. It's a 5 minute job guys, and it would really help us out.

Thanks.

I shall poke Paddy when I next see him (and also phil, as he seems to be failing)

 

[Kasatka]

Im going to get a last practice game or two in this afternoon and be applied by this evening.
I'm honoured to be placed in Div2 btw.

Thanks guys.

TBH, I think we'll end up with a midweek start for a relaxing extra long first week, running until the 20th of November.

My Amazons have graciously stepped up to be bye week bitches.

Their match record shall be tarnished but they will remain proud.

Like Panda says, I chose my build because it's the only way to get an extra AG3 player and still have 3 re-rolls. This necro team is more of an experiment for me since I've only ever played them to destruction, but I have to say I'm made up with the group.

Played Hoverdog, Panda and Narly before so I know they're going to be good games whatever and I have the feeling from his posts on bbtactics Snap can play a bit too. Think the scheduling of that game with the dwarfs will be important for me. If I have to play him with no skills could get very ugly very quickly.

I think the Necromantic team is very strong. I've played them a lot, and I think they have a fantastic range of speed and strength. They were certainly very effective for me and my playstyle. I'm going to be well out of my comfort zone with the elves.

'THN' <--- note the caps

 

[Moguai]

Just one quick question to the admins,

would it be ok if I signed up my team tomorrow evening/night? I'd really prefer to try and get some playtime with them, before facing off against skilled teams with probably way better coaches then me in Division 2.
And since I have already scheduled back to back games for tonight, I won't be able to do this today and I would therefore play a bit tomorrow after work. If I am holding up the start of the tournament, I would of course apply asap.

Just to sum up everything and clarify.
Names in green are those I can see accepted into the league.

Thanks to both Panda and Fred Bucket for their lists earlier in the thread.

Though I think I will end up with many deads, I changed to an HiE team.
It applied for the league already. The name is Johnny B Good, Team captain is Johnny Walker
If you prefer me entering with a 1010 Nurgle team it's also possible, just let me know

Be patient. The season is only 6 weeks long.

People need to stop second guessing their team choices. There's been more changes than a nappy station in McDonalds

Necro team can indeed by very strong, but just like Chaos, maybe a bit less so, starts off as an underdog, due to not having all positionals, golems being very slow to skill up and werewolves really turnover-prone (frenzy, no block, S3). You get block on wolves /guard on wights and buy a second were, and things are downhill from there.

I see it slightly differently, in terms of having some very strong scoring threats with the werewolves and ghouls. I think the flesh golems are good players out of the box too. Zombies are massively underrated too. Obviously this is just assuming you're starting off against all fresh teams.

I think the issue is teams like the straight undead are just too powerful. There's no way they should have access to 4 ghouls.

Anyway, I now have all the teams in for the bye week, so thanks D and Dragon.

People still needing to sign up are, explicably (probably due to a hangover) ghostwolf67, lucius101, kasatka and mogwuai (both of whom we've heard from) and comrade phil.

Lucius, obviously you've posted too, so really it's just phil we're kind of waiting on.
