Let me know if anyone of those suits you, sir. I'll let know about days after those later, if nescessary.

That doesn't work I'm afraid. Sweden is paying its first game in the Ec so I won't be able to start until 21.30 or later :(

Hi there! Thursday and Friday 20:30 should be good, otherwise I think my Saturday and Sunday are both pretty open.
Hey there Hakos. I'm not really sure what my schedule might look like this week but anyway, just throw some dates at me and I'll try to adapt.

Can you suggest some times for Fri/Sat/Sun then, since you obviously have got some times that aren't good for you?

Hi Luiggi
It seems I'm not available to play until thursday. Thursday & Friday after 18:00 should be ok. In the weekend I can probably adapt my time's to be able to play anytime if I just get time information one day ahead of the playdate.

Yeah OK. On Friday I can either play during the day or late, from 22.30. On Saturday and Sunday I don't know right now, but I should be able to play from 20 or so.

Those are not particularly good times for me (to say the least), but I'll try to make Friday 22.30 work.

So, you can't play during the weekend at all? I should be able to take some time, although I would prefer it to be morning or evening and not during the afternoon.

I read your post as you not being available on the weekends until at 2000h, but if you can manage a "morning" game (say 1100h) on Sunday, that would be perfect.
Ah ok, that was just my prefered time. Sunday at 11 should probably work, a bit earlier would be even better.

I can't commit to anything earlier than that, but I can
try to be online at about 10.30. No promises, though.

Hi'ya, no problems, today at 21 is OK with me. If anything comes up, let me know here at the forum, otherwise I'll be online in game at 21. See you on the field!
I'm ready when you are Hakos, I hope you can make it because I'm away the whole weekend :D
Allright, let's start in ~8 minutes, 18:40
/Håkan
I saw you log in and out, I hope you're not having connection issues :D
Hmmm, this says that connection has failed... Game crash? If so I'll alt+f4 to see if we can reset it without an admin, please confirm it.
yes, computer crashed, restarted now
I crashed the game as well, let's hope the client didn't set any score so we can replay it now.
First time this happens during blood bowl for over 2 years, hope we can restart, I'll log in again now

Correct, if no one as restarted it, it's a go!
Match played.
Primary target - Preserve team for next match, Achieved !
Secondary target - Improve team, Achieved !
Third target - Draw or Win, Definitely Not achieved !
Succeed with a 1 out of 216 chance, Achieved !
Guess Luiggi will tell you more, especially about the really weird first half...
2-0 to Orkitis in a quite strange match. First off, Hakos misplaced his team thinking it was him who kicked the ball, but in fact he was the receiver! That first drive was crazy, with 3 6's in a row to pick up a ball in 3 TZs and pass it through my defense to a lineman that made a run for it. He got 1 die blitzed and his mercenary Zara rolled a double skull next turn, finishing with any chances of scoring a touch down this half. I managed to pass the ball upfield but Hakos stopped me and managed to send a long bomb that was intercepted by an orc lineman deep into my own half. With only one turn left, the lineman managed to go for it twice and hand it off to a blitzer that scored after two more GFI. Several humans were injured so the second half started 9 vs 11.
At the start of the second half, the human catcher got KO'd early because he ventured into the LOS. With the numbers advantage I could force feed the ball to my killer blitzer, who scored a touchdown and made it to Star. With 2-0, Hakos managed ot move the ball around to level up some linemen (and very well he did :D) and attempted to make a run for it with a blitzer, but he was alone and the ball was taken from him easily. Orcs could have scored a third touchdown but the thrower decided not to pick the ball up.
--------------------------
Again, a match with a 510 TV difference is quite uneven, especially when the ogre decides to go bonehead 5 out of 12 times and the hired star player doesn't make a big difference. Since all the injuries were just badly hurt (except for a Smashed Collar Bone on a merc lino), both apothecaries went to waste, and kick-off events were quite bad for Hakos. Luckily none of his players died or got severely injured, which is something.
With this new victory, Orkitis wins the 3 matches of the cup 2-0 and will start the knock-out rounds in top form... we'll see if they keep up the good work or they crumble under the pressure.
PS: A lvl 5 blitzer, yay! :D
PS2: According to the Samba Calculator, the chances of his play happening were 1.9 % without a reroll and 4.4 % with a reroll (which he had, but didn't need). If we remove Sure Hands and Pass on his Thrower (which he didn't need either), the success rate is 0.5 %. Not bad at all!
The Norse takes it 2-0 in quite the bloody affair, resulting in 2 dead norse and 1 dead chaos warrior. I had three Dudes left standing at the end of turn 16, I don't think we've ever been quite this disorganized! Happily, my apo rescued Thishnogors (my main ball carrier with some 60 SPP) from death to BH, but was unable to save Random Robin from Rotting Rapidly. Infrequent Ivan was Immediately Instated to Inspire Ill-adviced new Initiatives.
Brilliant match report, short, informative and nice alliteration at the end.
Yes it was a nice game, really didn't know what I did trying to safe a 6spp runner from niggle, the apo failed miserably killing the dude in the process ::)
Ops, what happened here?
:D
There was definitely some karma going on here as well. Last match vs. Mr. B, I was extremely lucky, pulling off the victory with some over-the-top chaos elf play, but this time the tale of dice is quite the opposite:
D6: (Dragon Trainers) 17.50 v 1.58 (Disorganized Dudes)
2D6: (Dragon Trainers) 21.35 v -4.18 (Disorganized Dudes)
Yikes!
The elven blood feud takes a break as DSS tie 2 - 2 with the Virgins (No More). The match looked to be a one-sided affair after the first half as the VNM were down a couple of key players, but some overly arrogant stalling (and rather poor positioning) by the Druchii was turned around to give the VNM an opening to go up 2-1 which they firmly seized. After that it was a mad scramble for DSS to do a 2-turner to equalize, which they managed just barely.
A fine game by Golden, who complained a wee bit about his armor in the beginning, but who stepped up to seize the moment with some fine playing. As for myself, I learned a valuable lesson in how not to position your ballcarrier next to the sideline, even in a screened half-cage (damn you, ag5!).
PS. D6 DSS: 3.33, VNM: 15.36. 2D6 DSS: -0.41, VNM: 19.50. Your armor is just FINE, Golden ;)
Well, when you get 3 players put out in the first three turns of your drive its a bit annoying, especially as one of the players was my most important player who got apo:d during the first turn of the first drive. Those armour/injury rolls where such a small number of the total 2d6 rolls that they aren't visible in the statistic, but that doesn't mean that they didn't affect the game in a big way (even if the streak didn't continue in later turns). Also I had to take more chances later in the turns since I was down 2-3 players basically all game.
Then in the end I got very lucky and managed to take the ball and score which kinda made up for it, but its still not very fun to play a game like that.
Thanks for the game though, you played very well and we are 1-1-1 in our games against each other with these teams which seems kinda fitting :P
Yeah, as I noted you were down some key players. I was really just poking fun at what was at in the heat of the moment a pretty fatalistic view of the match. Fun to see that these 'grudge' matches turn out so even ;D
