Day 3 is done and day forwarded, so it's time for next game day.
Equi-man, our base player has been practicing tackling all week just to prepare for this match, and he and rest of the band are really anxious for some cheese and onions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePaHG6g7uFw) (we'll bring the onions, I'm guessing you have the cheese). So it would be great if you could play starting on one of the following CET times:
- Wednesday 17-22.30
- Thursday 17-21
- Friday 20-22
- Sunday any time before 20
Let me know if any of those suits you, sir.
Hey Kezerk, time for your Vamps to shine vs us regular Humans ;)
I can start to play on the following times this week (all CET):
Tuesday (tonight): 1900-2100
Thursday: 1900-2100
Sunday: 1200-1300 and 2100
Any of those work for you?

Hi Lasseman, weekdays this week are pretty full, but I should be able to do any time Saturday or Sunday. Failing that, I think it'll slip into early next week, which should be more available.
Oh my god!
My ogres are so impatient to go for a new match that they are standing in the locker/dressing room tipping on their toes like small ballerinas.
Starting to get real annoying...
"Hey guys! Stop it! You are big mountains of muscle, dressing in colorful spandex and jumping on each other. Not tiny little girls going to ballerina class, wearing pink spandex and jumping over each other."
Sooo Muller! When do you feel brave enough to meet my "mighty, oily and colorful" ogres, longing to get out on the field again and hug your dwarves?
My OK starting times is as follow:
Tue (today): 20.00-22.00
Wed: 18.00-22.00
Thu: 20.30-22.00
Fri: No go
Sat: 14.00 - All day
Sun: Unsure.

Sorry. I was chained to a kitchen table... getting online now.
Coach Kezerk, what are your thoughts on the game.
"We're so sorry.. I don't know what happened. It must've been the substitute teachers. We were supposed to let the opponent score the four TDs, but the curriculum had a typo in it, and the less familiarized faculty members actually followed it, scoring two of those TDs themselves. I can only apologize for their behavior to our opponents, the Emperor's New Boots, who, by the way, managed to kick another Vampire beyond regenerative abilities. Congratulations on that."

Yo Luiggi!!
Time for the goblins to show the neck.
I have trouble for this game and wonder if it's ok to schedule it for next Monday?
21 cet as usually.
Cya!

Well... that took certainly took an interesting turn. Kezerk had some rotten luck in the first half but Nuffle mostly vindicated him on his equalizer, the Sweltering Heat in the second half and some frankly amazing block dice.
Still, I paid the price for not being boring and stalling out my score in the 2nd half so I've only got myself to blame :D
Gratz on your first point in Nul, Kez!
Finally an opponent with pointy ears. This will be interesting. What will prevail, the chicken running game of the dark one or the graceful throwing of the high ones?
TGA: I can play on any evening this week after 18:00 but I would prefer to play in the weekend and can play any time during saturday and sunday.
All: The legends of NUL, issue 3, is published on day 3 thread.

Hi Hakos :)
Sunday would fit best for me. I can pretty much do any time except the evening or too early in the morning. When would it suit you best?

Another win for the rats that smell like they should!
This time it was pretty unfair dicerolls that made the game, with a lot of failed blocks from the orcs, and dodges even the great Scittersnitch would've been proud of from the rats!
And even if the orcs had a chance of making 2-2 with only 1 turn left, they took an extra step to get away from every fast rodent, and fell...
Well, not much to say, but this time the cheese beat the beaters... :D
Thanx for the game, J! Good luck in the next ones!
DISCHORD AT THE DA BEATMORES GIG!
Da Beatmores, Fab Five, Da Mob Tops, Quarrelmen - whatever you call them, they're the hottest thing out there in the music world right now. However, at their latest gig in Cheeseville, there were some dischords in the air. Not during the gig, that was fabulous as always. The band was really on fire! After the stage had been cleared of burning rags of those unfortunate teen skavenettes that spontaniously combusted and caused the fire, the gig really got groovy and Da Beats once more took their audience to seventh heaven - which in skaven circles is considered to be a cheese factory with production lines for all possible cheeses and free sampling - and beyond with their tunes. However, the dischord was felt when the Blood Bowl match following the gig started. You see, Da Beatmores had brought along two new recruits to their entourage, troll or trollette Joko Ono (nobody can tell if she is he or he is she, he/she is listed as troll in the official league roster but his/her team-mate Lennyn keeps calling her/him either mother or ocean girl) and band's former goblin drummer Pete Worst. As to the dischord, there were strong rumors that Fab Four's lead composer/blitzer Joinz Lennyn had insisted that Joko the troll/trollette take the field and play with the team. Other members of the core band were not so enthusiastic about this but agreed to the demands.
The lack of harmony on the field showed clearly from the first moment, the Joko spent couple of first downs just standing still really stoopidly and yelling "Pookie! Pookie!". Meanwhile, the skaven team World of Cheese took advantage of this disharmony. The rat-folk blocked efficiently and took the ball away from the orcs easily and scored a defensive TD. The second half was just as poor for Da Beatmores. They got the ball away at one point but the skaven were simply unbeatable and scored a showy and dodgy TD. Da Beatmores managed a lucky TD and had a chance for an equalizer at the waning moments of the match, but Piggies the roadie was too fast on his feet and fell down while trying to get away from scary skaven gutter runner following him.
But fear not, the dischord on the field wasn't showing at the post-game encore - Fab Four were just as fabulous as ever, closing the gig with their new hit songs "For You Blue Cheese" and "Shake, Rats and Cheese Rolls". However, only future will tell if the troll(ette) situation will spill onto the stage but at the moment there's no sight of that and Da Beatmores' entourage started their journey to the Beerbelly Stadium as a happy band.
------
Nice match from Equilibri, he took advantage of good block dice and I only managed to hang in there with lucky bounce from failed hand off. At the end I might've gotten a tying TD with dodge or blitz at the final turn but decided to gfi on the second to avoid under-strength blitz against me on the last turn as I was extremely fearful of Equi's blocking. That failed and that was the match. However, our troll(ette?) Joko Ono proved that even though (s)he is really stupid, (s)he can hit as (s)he racked a casualty in his/her first match! Bright times are ahead for Da Beatmores with such a hulking precence on the field!

Ok, sunday it is. Not certain what too early in the morning means but I how about starting at 10, or maybe 11?

11 seems fine, 10 might be too early depending on saturday...
2-0 to BeerBeelyz vs OKWF.
A match where the ogres was rolling very poorly. Thx for the game Gnaarkill and that you where a real sport when the dice failed you.

Heard from the locker room of Ogre Kingdom Wrestling Federation after the match against the BeerBellyz.
"Gat dammit guys! Yea yea i know you havent got your salary since we started in this league. And i know i promised you guys a bonus after our first wins against the vampires. But you can't get everything here in life and you have to understand that!
Especially you Hulk, what the hell were you thinking today? Not a single casualty!? Instead you were lying on the ground picking your teeths spying on mature dwarf women... NOT OK HULK, NOT OK!.
I mean... you have to understand guys, you are the superstars! It's not the task of a snotling to knock down troll slayers. They were saving your asses out there today, doing all the dirty work. Dodging several tacklezones in a row, fouling players, knocking down troll slayers. The snotlings at least tried to win this game today, you did not and it's a damn shame!"
"Coach, you suck!"
"Yea coach, you suck! What about our salary!?"
"I told you guys. You have to stay patient... we just need a little more money to hire a new talent from the free agency. A new young and upcoming wrestling star from the far north of the Ogre Kingdoms. They call him... THE ROCK!"
*Snotlings gets all exited and start to chant*
"THE ROCK, THE ROCK, THE ROCK!"
*The Ogres remain silent*
Thank you for the match Muller!
Not the most awsome game i have seen for my part. But i guess, thats the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. And thats BloodBowl for all I know :)
GG!

/hakos
hmm, my bb client just hanged after the match when I was studiying player statistics, seems I have to do a forced shutdown. Since the match was finished, I hope that it will not cause any problems?
The Elf vs Elf match has been played. On paper it seemed to be a very even match and it turned out to be just that also in reality. The result ended 1-1 with both goals scored in the first half. No one failed spectacularly, no one succeeded spectactualary. Dices were evenly bad for both of us.
The dark side won the roll and started as receiver. I got a Blitz but could not capitalize. Quite quickly the dark ones formed a cage and after some failed dodges from the not so dark side attempting to plug holes in the defense they could quite easily move it steadily forward and score in turn 5.
The high elf side were now the receivers. A pitch invasion plus the previous KO and causalties left me underelfed so it seemed tough to get through his defenses. Instead I focused on some passing to level up some players and in turn 8 I got a chance after some failed dodges from the not so high side and could make a nice pass from blitzer to blitzer to score. Yes, here I was a bit lucky.
In second half, I quickly formed a cage but could not get through his excellent defense. Realized that he was close to breaking me and changed tactics. Tried to get the ball to my thrower and place him in the backfield and try to spread out his defense and find a passing opportunity. But I was to cautious, did not do any go for it and he could still reach my thrower. So we took the ball from each other for a couple of turns. With about 3 turns left I decided that I was happy with a 1-1 result and only focused on the defense. It succeeded.
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=309251&lang=en&bg=orca)
It should also be noted that there were 3 badly hurt players in the match even if the match report shows 0. Since we did not manage to hurt each other we had to do it ourself by falling heavily to the ground while dodging.
Thanks for the match TGA. It was even and quite interesting.
/hakos
Thanks for the game Hakos :) It was really intense and close the whole game and lots of positioning play. Good luck in future games!
The Phins manage to come out on top against another team of dwarves, although these were slightly more chaotic than the last ones!
Boqkrox of the Moon, a free agent signing just in time for the last match against the Beerbellyz, continued to impress by scoring another touchdown this week, following last week's surprising MVP award.
Thanks for the game Lasseman!

Hi, sorry B, busy week. 21 is too early but I can do 21:45-22 tonight.
Sorry Luiggi.. that is to late.
To day I won't make that time.
Tomorrow is off..
How is the rest looking?
Wed 21.30 for me is the only chance before next weekend. I'm up to playing 2 minute turns if we need to make the game shorter.
My average week (Mon-Thu) goes as follows: I work from 16 to 21.15. So my best chances are Fri, Sat and Sun.
I'm ok with an adminned loss/draw if this delays the week too much.

Well, that was the plan but unfortunately I've had something come up and it's going to be impossible for me to get there. Sorry, I'll concede this match. Catch you on the playoffs, MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

THE LEGENDS OF BLOOD BOWL, ISSUE NUL18:4
As the days go along team members start to change. A total of 13 new players have been recruited so far and 5 have left. Four for natural reasons, death, but the dwarf Skuaks is the first to leave due to unnatural causes. Apparently he is too slow, even for a dwarf team, and has been fired. Speaking of death, once again we have a dead vampire, well, even more dead than normal. Kauppaopiston Opet managed to get their first point of the season but it came at a severe cost. Let's hope they can recover.
Breaking news: Hulk Hogre did not hurt anyone in the last match, and Edmund only scored 1 single pass.
So, who did excel in the matches this day?
#6, Value 140, 'Lord Wellingtons' has so far not done anything spectacular but has been a very dependable player. 4 touchdowns and 2 casualties means he is the second player to become a veteran and he lurks near the top in several of the official tables.
#4, Value 140, 'Aeolus' had a bit of a slow start in the first match but after that has just become hotter and hotter. With an average of 7 spp awarded per match for the last 3 matches, he sure knows how to please the judges and the audience. He is the third player to be considered as a veteran and currently claims the top spot in 4 of the official tables.
#49, Value 90, 'Captain Clogs' is yet another of the non-spectacular but true team players from the emperors wardrobe. It is clear that he had sharpened a wooden shoe horn for more efficient change of foot wear. How it ended up in the chest of a now very dead vampire is still a mystery.
#31, Value 100, 'Killy Turner' is one of only 6 players that have managed to earn at least 1 spp in each match so far. 2 MVP, 1 CAS and 1 TD is good for any player but, wait, a touchdown, isn't he a saurus? Ok, this is clearly a player to watch.
#16, Value 120, Another of the 6 players to earn at least 1 spp per match is 'Sarge Pepper'. And he continues in his schizophrenic ways. He earns them by passing, scoring and hurting other players. That is a sign of a coming star.
