Quote from: Saitani on November 21, 2023, 06:05:08 PMHakos! Do your lovers want to play a game of the lovliest sport in the old world?:) i am available from most days from 11.00 to 19.00

Saturday, starting at 11:00, would be perfect for me. /hakos

Final game of the day is played and it ended in a blood bath. Norse blood that is.

It started fairly normal with the Norse attacking, bashing and moving forward on one flank where their frenzy is the most effective. With some help from the audience they could do a quick score in turn 4.

Nurgles counter attacked and drived steadily forward. But in turn 7 the Nurgle rage went into an overdrive mode and removed half the norse team (or close to). The equalizer happened in turn 8.

Second half the Norse could only field a team of 9 (with several rookies) against a full Nurgle team on the offence. Norse could do nothing except taking damage. The leading 2-1 goal came easily in turn 12.

With only 5 players on the field the Norse tried to make an offence but once again bad luck hit them. A blitz for the Nurgle sort of sealed the deal. After the blitz only the two runners were guarding the ball. Soon the Norse were down to the last runner standing up. He tried to run around everywhere on the field but could not escape the Nurgle. Eventually even the final Norse had to give up and allow the Nurgel team to win with 3-1.



Thanks for the game Tags, sorry about the bad luck. I am surprised the luck numbers are not more skewed.

We just decided to play on sunday, starting at 11 /hakos

Quote from: tags on November 04, 2023, 11:58:43 AMMonday evening should be good, will be able to start as soon as I'm back from my squash session. I can guarantee 2030 on Monday evening, but will possibly be available earlier.

Ok, let's go for monday 20:30 then. I can probably start earlier if you are available but will aim for 20:30.

Quote from: tags on November 02, 2023, 02:48:50 PMHakos, when can you play?

I could play tonight or tomorrow night, pretty much all of Sunday, also Monday night

Didn't check this until now.

Best option for me would be Sunday, before lunch, how about starting at 10?

But monday evening, starting any time between 19-21 also works.

First game of the first day of the fifty first season is played.

It was a fairly one sided game that was more or less settled after the first two turns.

In turn 1 the ball'n'chain guy managed to ball and chain himself and left the field

In turn 2 Mama was knocked out for the rest of the game and even the next one

Morg, Dada and the pogoer did some valiant attempts to keep the match alive and at least the spectators were happy to see all the comical fails in more or less every single turn

In second half the bombardier bombed himself due to 5 disturbing prescense affecting his aim.

Then Morg was fouled out of the game.

All in all, not much the goblins could do the and the luck numbers confirm the one-sidedness of this story.

I really hope you get better luck in your next game J-Reedy. Impressive how you could keep your temper.

I'm in, with the Nurgle team. Must find a way to beat those Norse. /hakos

Congratulations to Saitani and the Kings of Old. Worthy winners of Season 50.

They were constantly outnumbered and outstrengthed but never gave up and always found an innovative way to score. For example by throwing the ball over the entire field, via the audience, to be able to score the winning goal.

It was a very wild game where players left the field almost every turn. A fast paced game, with lots of movement and not a single cage to be seen.

I think the luck stats say it all for me. I could do all I wanted except GFI when I was within scoring range. Twice I got double 1 and failed to score. But on the other hand I was very lucky to reach those scoring possibilities so it does not hurt that much.

Fun fact: Two of the players from the old kings decided to join the nurgle team after the game.

Final game of the regular season is played. It was a nailbiter until the very end.

With two chaos teams facing off you would expect a, well, chaotic match. But no, it was a very calculated game. Seems the coaches managed to tame their teams.

The beastmans started on the offensive but had problems to find a hole in the nurgle wall. Finally they were locked in at the side line. That is when the magic happened. Literally. The fireball opened a nice hole and one dodge and two GFI later the beastman scored 1-0.

Two turns left. Nurgle team pushed forward as much as they could. And actually managed to reach scoring distance in turn 8. All that was needed was some GFI, with a RR. On the very last GFI the dices showed 1 and 1. Classic.

Second half the beastman was on the offense again. Yes, I am not kidding. The Nurgle failed to pick-up the ball and the beastman decided to go for a very offensive defense. Might have been due to that the minotaur Kongwar was resting on the sideline so they tried to go for the speed game instead of strenght game. It was extremely close. No one could pick-up the ball for many turns. The ball was even out of bounds for a short while. But finally the strength advantage for the Nurgle paid off. Beastman after beastman left the field or was lying down. With just two turns Greasy the pestigor could pick up the ball and start to run towards the end zone. He needed a total of 4 GFI in those two turns to score. The first 3 were successful. The 4th failed, BUT the RR saved the day. 1-1 and that was the end result.



Thanks for the game. It sure was intense.

I think this means we can enter an exciting final of Norse versus Nurgle. A match the Nurgle has never won before.

Quote from: hakos on August 13, 2023, 09:26:32 AMFinal match day of the season and it seems anything can happen. If I have counted correctly I can end up in any place from first to four. Much at stake, as it should be.

Mr B: My playing times are a bit limited. Can play today (sunday) from ca 14 and forward. Can also play on monday evening from ca 19. But next time after that is not until next weekend.

Hello, Sir
Next week it is, I will probably be away one of two evenings else evenings would be ok.

Only us left to play in this match day now.

I can most likely play on monday or tuesday evening starting from 19. Monday is preferred.

Wednesday evening is busy.

Probably thursday and friday evening works as well, but a bit more fluffy availability right now.

What do you get if nice cooking smells blends with nasty nurgle rotten stench?

A revolting mix of greasy, slippery, slime that makes everything fail.

Fail as in falling down like tripping on a rotten banana.

Fail as in a ball behaving like a lubricated eel.

Fail as in no armor breaks (almost).

Fail as in forgettting what throws actually means.

Fail as in Nurgle being on offence when on defence and Halflings on offence when on defence.

Fail as in trees taking root way too early.

I guess a fail game has some charms as well, at least the audience had fun watching two teams that looked like they were drunk go at it.



Thanks for the game J-Reedy. I'm surprised my luck was worse than yours. Must have been a record with all those ball bounces...
