I think the entire week is quite bad.
Let's aim for next week shall we monday could work.
We will order internet access on Thursday so it will arrove next week probably..
Phone access so I can read etc..
Lets see what we can do later on.

All righty, let me know about next week when you can.
I'll probly be available on Monday by 21.30 CET

Looks like the last match from MD6 is played. Didn't yet confirm the match or forward day but I'm guessing we're safe to start the MD7 as day will be forwarded when Luiggi or Kvasilad confirms the match result.


All-righty, Mr. B, my guys are shivering, and it's not from cold but the dread of your MB galore. I saw that you're moving, so I'm guessing you're a bit pressed for time, but let's see if any of the following CET/GMT+1 times suits you, sir:

- Monday (today) 19-21.30
- Tuesday 19-21 - update: Tuesday is probably off but there's a slight chance that I might be available.
- Wednesday 19-22
- Thursday 19-21

I'm guessing later days won't be any good but let's take a look at them later, if nescessary.

BLOOD BOWL MATCH BREAKS OUT DURING A RENOVATION
A sudden Blood Bowl match erupted tonight quite suddenly at the testing grounds of the famed armor manufacturer Fantasy Armor Inc. According to preliminary reports it seems that the plumbing of the Fantasy Armor Inc's office buildings had suddenly failed two months ago and plumbing firm Warpstone Plumbers had been called to fix the problem. Surprisingly the plumbers actually appeared on the scene just 9 weeks after they had been called. How the match got started is still a mystery, but there are speculations that the Fantasy Armor Inc's Blood Bowl team was testing their new uniforms on the practice field when the Warpstone Plumbers crew arrived and decided that the best place to dig out the faulty plumbing was smack in middle of the said practice field. It is assumed that Fantasy Armor Inc's team didn't respond kindly to the goblin and skaven workers staring to dig holes onto their practice field and thus an impromptu Blood Bowl game erupted.
The result of the BB game was as follows: FAI: 1 touchdown (TD), 6 casualties (CAS), 6 knock outs (KO). WP: 1 TD, 0 CAS, 3 KO. According to eye witness reports the Warpstone Plumbers crew surprised the Fantasy Armor Inc team with their effective defence and prowess of their Skaven Blitzers. Plumbers were actually quite close in winning the game but the Fantasy Armor Inc were saved when a ball-carrying Skaven stunned himself while trying to dodge over a hole that the Warpstone Plumbers crew had dug on the field.
It has not yet been confirmed if the Warpstone Plumbers are taking action against the Fantasy Armor Inc for injuring half of the firm's plumbing crew. Fantasy Armor officials have declined any comments.



Quite an exciting game where Golden's gobbos seemed dodge at will but one failed dodge of a skaven blitzer prevented Golden getting a win. Golden played extremely nice Blood Bowl, as usually, and the game was suspenseful almost all of the match. Thanks again for the game Golden!

Holy cow, I just took a stroll in the harbour and looked into the HMS Gnaarkill. The normally so busy ship was derelict, only few goblins were strolling on the deck and looking sadly at body bags waiting for a burial at the sea. I thought that the ship might have run into a freakish storm but looking at the match report, it was a freakishly violent dwarf team.

You weren't kidding about career ending game Gnaar-man, the Pirates rooster looks more like a starting goblin team now... Don't know what's wrong with this season, seems like we've had a game with a whopper number of casualties, well above the statistical average, in every week now. And getting three death rolls in injuries in one match, that's reeeeally unlucky (or lucky I guess, if you're the one playing the reaper role). Well, I hope this game got you enough injury karma for next season to get a nice game going!

Thursday works fine. Starting at 18 should probably work best but any time would be ok.

All righty, let's take the Thursday. Earlier is better for me usually, so 18 is optimal. See you tomorrow!

Day forwarded so it's five down, four to go.

Golden, here are my OK CEST/GMT+2 starting times for the next few days:
- Tuesday (today) 21.30
- Wednesday 19-21
- Thursday 18-19.30
- Friday 19-22
- Saturday 21-22

Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. I probably have all Sunday free also but I'll let you know about that later if nescessary.

- Oh boy, I tell you mate, there's no easier job than being the manager of the Fantasy Armor Inc's Blood Bowl team. I mean those guys keep getting knock down left and right - either from drunken stupor or blocks - but nothing gets through their armor. I haven't had to look for any new players or do any roster management in ages!
- Yeah, it's a lot tougher at our end in the product development, they keep asking for new and improved products every time someone in the team gets a scratch.
- I feel the pain, mate. Well, I guess I'll have to pop into office. Lunch as usual?
- Yep, nothing beats Tee Gee Why Tor's Day's.
- See ya.
- Not if I see ya first, ha-ha!
- ... It's bee a hard game's night, and I've been blocking like a dog, but when I get home to you... Hi Betty! Any news?
- OH MY, THANKS TO GODS YOU'RE FINALLY HERE! They've been trying to get hold of you all morning! Here are the papers on the most promising ones, no stars on the market and the transfer deadline has closed on all leagues but the local pub league! Here are the rosters and heres...
- Hold on, Betty! What an earth is going on here?
- Weren't you in the game?
- Betty, you know I don't like dwarfs, they're so creepy, especially those chaos ones. They make my ears shiver, probably due to my elvish blood, have I told you about that? How my grandmother was...
- There's no time for that, sir! The Mad Science Fair did some number on the team! 8 casualties, sir!
- What!
- One dead - well, technically two - but Doctor House managed to save Abby Enchancer, but he won't be able to dress up anything but our lightest armor now. Wriststrengthy will also miss the next game, but he'll be ok.
- Whose the dead one? Should I be worried?
- Roy Oh.
- WHAT! He was our star runner, where do I find as good a runner! Damn! How much did we lose?
- We tied, sir!
- What!
- Yes, sir. They jumped 1-0 on us but then the crowd tried to storm the nearby breweries and ref wound back the game clock. We got the equalizer just before the half. Then they started hitting us hard in the second half so Kal Utan was just trying to keep the ball deep - looking for a throwing chance. But then lightning took him down when we only got five players on the field. But he got up and long-bombed the ball to their side. They bounced the ball to stands and the local drinking society threw the ball next to their endzone. Killy dodged out and scored the go-ahead 2-1. But then we kicked the ball out and centaurs got the ball. Tried to stop them, but we could only field six players and they didn't get the centaur down, so he dodged out and scored the equalizer!
- 8 casualties! How many dwarfs did we injure?
- None, sir. Zero casualties for us. But we did get one Knock Out!
- ...All right, this is serious. Guess I'll have to start earning my keep. Give me those papers, dig up any intel we have on those pub leagues. Oh, and send a boy to Mickey to let him know that I won't be making it to lunch!
- Right away, sir!
....
- Here's all we got on the pub leagues, sir. Not much, I'm afraid, they got good stats on first few downs, but after that it gets quite sloppy. They really shouldn't let the game officials have free beer.
- There's nothing here, nothing but over-weight has and never-beens. Isn't there really any league where the transfer window is still open?
- Well, there's the goblin leagues...
- Gods, I'm really in binder here...
- Sir! Mickelsson said he understands you're busy. He also told me to say that "I guess you're really feeling the pain now, mate".
- What, how did you get to Mickelsson and back so fast boy? He's in the next building, it should've taken much longer.
- I ran, sir.
- ... You ever played Blood Bowl, boy?
- No, sir. They never let me, said I was too ill-tempered 'cause I kept fighting with kids stronger than me.
- Hmmmm... What's your name boy?
- Mylow Man Ara, sir.
- Come with me, we'll have a little chat at the practise field. Betty! Bring the chronometer imp. I want to time this boy running!

-------------------------


Well, this was a bit of a Pyrhic draw for me. Nothing could get through the chaos armor while Sharktopus and his mates were wrangling my team around to their will. But to offset my armor and injury rolls, I got lucky with the crowd throw and then some key agility rolls that there required for both of my TDs. Although, I wouldn't have to have relied on agility so much if my sure hands thrower hadn't fumbled the ball pick-up on two turns. Really a nail-biter as the match rating shows. Thanks for the maiming, Barm! Hope you keep up the same pace, at least with all those teams that haven't played against me yet;)

Why hello there, subject sevent... eh, mr. Reedy, sir!

Many thanks to you and Fantasy Armor Inc. for meeting most of the specifications for pitch location. Surely the lack of soundproofing will be made up for by the noise from the ever-busy breweries of you uncivilized barb... eh, feisty northerners. The screams of the damned ...eh, damned well entertained will probably be at least somewhat contained.

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 1900 CEST/GMT+2 would be super-perfect!
-Barm

Nice one :)

Tomorrow is excellent for me also, so let us rumble and tumble tomorrow at 19 hundred hours.

Yo, Barm! Pack up your ion-stabilizer powered cotton-candy machines, warm the flux capacitors in you Delorry carts and prepare your science carnies for some northern exposure. You can park between the Karl's Mount and Hansatown breweries, there's a nice field there with plenty of room for you exhibits and I'm prepared to visit the fair on following CEST/GMT+2 starting times:

- Wednesday (today) 18-21
- Thursday 18-20
- Friday 18-22
- Saturday any time

Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. I don't know about later days yet, more about them closer to weekend, if nescessary.

Judging by the players skill sets, this was a match between the guards of dwarf gold mine and norse beer factory. And boy, was it the grindiest of all grindy grind games. Dwarfs started the 1st half but as the norse armor held for a while, the short-legged attack was stopped and score prevented. 1 dwarf was hurt badly, 6 norse KO'd. Luckily for the norse, 5 of KO's recovered so full teams on both sides for second half. Dwarfs played excellent defence and stopped the attack at midfield, but then an injury and crowd pushback gave the norse upper hand and thrower got into scoring distance. Still, luck was needed to survive dogge and 2 gfis that were needed for the score.
This really could've gone either way with one or two changes to the dice here and there. Nice game from Lars, he played excellent defence.

lets go for Thursday 19 if thats okej for you
/Lars

Torsdag @19 är OK för mig, ses då!

Practising my swedish there. Well, might as well say the same thing in Finnish:
Torstaina seiskalta sopii hyvin, nähdään silloin!
...just to confuse you all!

Match Day 3 is done, and Match day 4 is now here, game on, mates!

OK, Lasseman, time for the another match between the bearded and horned ones. Here are my OK starting times (CEST/GMT+2) for this week:
- Wednesday 21
- Thursday 18-20
- Saturday 13-20

Not many times there, bit of a busy week with all kinds of happenings, but hope one of those suits you, sir. If not, let me know your free times and I'll see if I can work something out.

All righty, match was admined and day forwarded, looks like both of you got skill rolls.

21 would be ok. Much later than that would not work though.

Ok, I'll keep you posted on Monday, I'll try to make that, but can't promise.

Any news on the game, guys? We're waiting for you so if you can't get the game played in a day or two, it'll have to be an admin draw.

Too late for detailed match report, let's see if I'll get something done later. This was quite an injury nuffling for Luiggi, I think it was by turn 4 or 5 when I had gotten 2 Chaos warriors and 2 beasts out, which meant Luiggi was playing undermanned and understrenght practically from the start. Meanwhile, my players had their armor cracked all the time, but being true Fantasy Armor products, they protected them from any serious injuries. Well, except for Steeltoe Boots, who got killed, probably a faulty patch from the factory there. And if the injury luck wasn't enough, I also got the kickoff luck, a blitz at the start of the second half and then a quick-snap for my second offensive drive. I scored at the end of first when two turns were left as I was fearing the wizard. So Luiggi got a chance for quick score, but my kick was deep and then the beast failed pickup so the chance for scoring on the final turn required some heavy dicing which failed at the third to last die.
Second half: injuries continued to favour me half and I got the ball away, but then wizard struck and one of the remaining Chaos Warriors went dodge grazy. He dodged away, picked up the ball, gfid away, took a frenzy blitz standing and then dodged to score the equalizer. I had four turns to score and 8 to 11 man advantage which I did on the final turn after the only beastie boy with a blitz chance at the ball carrier failed a dodge (beast was +2ag, so unlucky dice even there for Luiggi). Thanks again for the match, Luiggi, you took the dice rape as a gentleman!
