GG Bonegavel. Althougha bit of a hint. Some coaches will find fouling after its impossible for you to win or score in the last round or two of a game to be unsportsmanlike. I don;t care that much, but just as fyi. It's like a nuclear bomb. Once you use it, you'd better be prepared for massive retaliation.

good game

Understood and thanks. Thought I'd give it a try and see what it did. Didn't seem to do anything. Had 5 guys out of the game; yummy.

I would've expected you to foul eariler. I took out so many of your players with casualties, that I thought you'd try and balance the scales.

-Anxiety

Ok I'm home. Who Wants Some? :D

BTW, everyone should be at 8.5 Please check that, because I think you ran into this "Do not play using different client versions. The site will not accept your results if you do."

I'm at 8.5, and ready to play with either of my other teams.

Im at 8.5 too.


-Anxiety

Elf vs Dark Elf Ok with you, Katon?

BTW, I'm talking to the FUMBBLAdmins in their channel

Works for me.

And thanks.

Up as FOFC, and looks like you should submit a trouble ticket asap:

(SirFozzie) Hey folks, I'm a league administrator, and two of my rookie coaches played a game that they had connection problems on, and the files seem to differ, one has trouble getting to IRC. Do they have to file a report?
(Mezir) they should come here themselves to sort it out
(SirFozzie) one can't. That's why I did it. :)
(Mezir) then he should submit a support ticket
(SirFozzie) Ok
(SirFozzie) I will let the player know to submit it, AFK, so that game can be entered.

Bonegavel, also submit a report asap so you can free up your team please?

Support ticket has been submitted

It's been fixed :)

DAMNIT!

That Heron Swift, he could be a good one... :D

Frickin doubleskulls

Nerves of Steel he has :)

Sucks ta lose someone this early.


-Anxiety

Good Game. I thought my misclick at the end had cost me.

Elf Catchers ARE SICK. 2+ Catch always rules :)

Good game. Draw was a fair result.

Just wish I'd handled the situation at the end of the first half better - tried to set up a chance for a second TD, wound up conceding and having a lineman killed.

yeah, that hurts.

BTW, you have skills pending on your necro team.

Heron Swift got the skill Dodge. *grins*.. I figure he's GOOD at that huh?

No I don't.


-Anxiety

I think he might've meant my High Elf team, in which case they've been selected. Got a double on one of the linemen, too (Guard!)

Nice.

Usually, If I'm feeling like I'm in a bashing league, I'll take block/dodge as my first two skills. Pisses folks off no end.

Then Side Step if I can.

Then I pray for guard.

*(then the opposing player starts bringing out the DP*)

Now there's just the problem of finding an opponent who won't squish me since both elven teams are down to ten for the next match. Ah well, that's the downside of playing with elves.

I think that we are in a well rounded league.


Elves: 7 (out of 23) - that's very finesse right there
Humies and Orcs 6 (out of 23) - In the middle. 3 lean Bash (Orcs and Norse) 3 lean finesse (normal Humans)
Skaven 1 - Finesse
Dwarvish Teams 4 (2 each Chaos and Normal) - Bashy
Ogre 1 - It's a new team, but I assume Bashy
Chaos, Necro, Undead: 4 - In middle leaning Bash

Sub-Total:

Finesse: 8
Bash: 5
Middle Leaning Bash: 7
Middle Leaning Finesse: 3

Total Bash: 13
Total Finesse: 10


That's my quick estimation.


-Anxiety

I have Dark Elves, Necro and Chaos Dwarf ready to go. You'd probably want to steer clear of my CDs, and running elf on elf when you are down an elf is no good. My Necro team is down a werewolf with an injury and is playing an extra Zombie. That might be your style.

-Anxiety

Okay. You want to set that up?

Or if you want to try the Dwarves, I do have an undead team that hasn't seen any action yet.

I Want to run my Necro so I can get my wolf out of injury after the next game. It is set yup pw is FOFC.

-Anxiety

if anyone else is around, I'm willing for one more.

Doh! I seemed to miss this thread. The game sounds interesting. I understand that its too late to join (I'd be a noob anyway), but is there any plan on reopening the league to players after the first season?

yup, Raven, this "Season" will have about six weeks. But I'd recommend you download the client, create a couple teams and we can do some non-league games to show you how to play.. so you'll be ready for the next tournament (after the Dungeon Bowl Finals)

I defeated Katon's High Elves and got a kill - raising my first Zombie.

-Anxiety

I rolled +movement for my Wight. Take it, or choose a skill instead? I'm not sure, so I decide to go with the movement bonus.

-Anxiety

Said dead guy then went on to be named my MVP.

But I replaced him with a better player and my Dragon Warrior got a +MA, so if I can just get an apothecary soon then the team's actually coming along fairly well.

Depends on what the roll was, if it was 6/4, Take the MA Bonus.

If it was double 5, then that's any skill (other then mutations and such).. lotsafun choices in THAT lot.

It wasn't a double.

-Anxiety

I really really suck at this game, but, like golf, I am really really enjoying it. I'll probably be somewhat up-to-snuff by the end of the season and hopefully there will be another soon after that.

The 2nd Season will see teams play for the SPIKE! Magazine Trophy (3rd will be the Chaos Cup, and the fourth will be for the granddady of em all, The Blood Bowl)

Kewl.

I'm a total noob and I'm ready to kick off my season tonight. Anyone want a game or two at 9:00 Central time.

I will.

Dola-

But I'll also be around earlier than that and would like to get a game in beforehand if anyone else is interested.

KWHIT, I should be on earlier then that also. But, I always say 9:00 Central incase the wife has me giving her some "time" before I get on my computer. Or if, for some reason my daughter wants me to put her to bed. Usually, I'm at 8:00 Central time though.

Do you know what you are doing? Because, I don't have a clue.

I have played 2 practice games, so I have an idea of the basics. Have you read through the rulebook yet? I assume you have since you created your teams, but if not, it's in the 1st post of the thread.

The other thing that is very important for beginners to understand is that you must make your easiest moves first (the ones that don't require dice rolls) because once you miss a dice roll your turn is over.

prolly wouldn't hurt to make a scrub team and play a few rounds with one of our scrub teams to simply get the flow down. You won't understand the strategy from a few sittings, but you at least will know how to setup, when to click what... etc.

I ordered Dinner. After it arrives and I have consumed it, I can play if anyone is up for it.

-Anxiety

won't be home for about 3 more hours :P

I have to leave for choir rehearsal soon, but after that's over (about 9:00) I'm free. Seems like that's when most people will be getting ready to play anyway.
