Norsca Union League

So Gnaarkill, seems to be a pretty good week for me availability-wise. I should be able to play from 1800 any day from Tuesday, and should also have time next weekend. Easier if you pick a time that's good for you this week I think.

Gnaarkill, if you read this in time, what about playing 1500 tomorrow (Sunday)?

If not, I'll get back to you with more options.

Whoa, that was an exciting match that could've gone either way until the very end. It was looking a bit bleak after I got hit with two BH's in the first two-three rounds, as well as a KO, followed up by a werewolf touchdown. Luckily for me, the hits didn't keep on coming quite that fast, and I was able to reply with a pretty standard fare breakthrough up the middle and touchdown with a wardancer. It was a bit risky though, as I left myself open to a frenzy block from a werewolf. Thankfully, no tackle (on anyone actually), and I was able to sidestep so that the follow-up block was 1d. No POW's, so the following turn made it 1-1.

Some drama towards the end of the first half surprisingly left the elves with a chance to go 2-1, but a blitz from a wright managed to get the POW.

When the second half starts, I'm down to 6 elves and a log against a full compliment of scary underworlders. Sure enough, the number difference is starting to show, and I'm struggling to break through. A crucial loner dodge fails, and a werewolf gets my carrier down. Hakos quickly forms a pretty solid cage with only one corner missing, and I realize that I have to make a gamble now or lose this 2-1. Queue strip ball wardancer leaping from one tackle zone to three, making a 2d-against blitz on the carrier, and succeeding. A decent bounce sees the ball landing in a single Gangnam tackle zone, and my other dancer leaps in to pick it up. From there on out, she was able to quite comfortably secure the TD for 2-1, although pressured to leave 3 turns left in the game. I don't think my luck was extraordinary throughout the game (BBM gives me a slight edge), but I certainly had some very solid dice right there when I needed it the most.

Still with 7 players against a full 11 with werewolves and a ghoul, this was going to be tough to defend for three turns. Sure enough, a wolf manages to pick up the ball on first try, and I'm pretty sure we're looking at 2-2. Miraculously though, the ghoul fails a crucial 3+ hand-off catch with RR, and the turnover in turn 15 with nobody within scoring range is a fact.

Thanks for the game Hakos, it was one of the more exciting ones I've played in a while! :)

So Hakos, sorry about delaying! It's a hectic week for me, and I don't have too many options, but here they are:

Tuesday from about 18:00 (earlier if absolutely necessary)
Friday from about 18:00
Saturday day-time, evening's busy.
Sunday (not too early)

All times from friday and forward is ok for me. I would prefer saturday day time with sunday as reserve day.

Sounds good to me, shall we aim for Saturday at 13:00 then? Just to name a time.

Sorry, can't play today. I'll be back with possible times later

Tomorrow (Sunday) is good I think, but I'm drinking today and don't know for sure. Can we say tentatively 16:00 tomrrow, with an option to cancel/delay if I'm too hung over? :D

(Most of) The Partly Animals just managed to escape with their lives against the Dueling Banjos, and sneak in a couple of touchdowns in the process. There seems to be something wrong with the stats though, because injuries are listed as "1". I suffered two MNG's (one of them dead->apo->MNG), and another broken jaw ending the career of my kicker. And two more BH I think. Perhaps the secret weapons guys fail to register their casulties? Oh well.

It was a very fun game (at least for me), as I don't think I've ever faced gobbos before. I failed to notice that the ball'n'chain guy had str7 in the beginning, and thought he had about 2-3, which led to me being quite knocked about and out of position in the first couple of turns. I also kept getting surprised at the return of mr. chainsaw drive after drive, as I did not know you could use bribes for secret weapons :D

Thanks for the game!

Hehe,  yes that is a good assumption ;).
Thursday then maybe, 21cet starting hours?

Yup, I think that works, let's play then!

Mr.B! I hope this matchup gives me slightly more chance to actually score against you :D

I'm currently in Germany, and can't really play here (random disconnections from the net all the time). I'm back very late Monday, so I can play from Tuesday at the earliest. Any day after that in the coming week is also fine, I think.

The season starts strong for The Partly Animals, after Nuffle disallowed all attempts by Axe and Anvil to catch or pick up the ball. Add that to some strong dice for the elven dodges and leaps, and there's not much to do about it. It was the first game for newly acquired catcher Golden Retriever, and he managed to score a touchdown in his debut performance! Unfortunately, experienced thrower Flying Duck suffered a career-ending broken neck, and will probably be replaced through free agency in the coming weeks.

I've added you on steam now, I'm "tags" there.

Sorry. Exam times now so i forgot to check back after i entered the league.

I could play tomorrow or Wednesday after 13:00 if that still works. Any time in particular that works for you?

Today at 1300, for example, would be great, but almost any time today is good. I'll check back here before 1300 at least once to check if that works for you.

Tomorrow at 1300 would also be doable I think, but if we could get the game in today, that would be preferrable.

But your exams are (probably) more important :D

Anybody in contact with Kerrai? I've now made other plans for today (evening game still possible perhaps), but still got all of tomorrow open.

Whee, it'll be good to have some ball-handling ability again :)

Kerrai, I can play almost anytime Monday or Tuesday, and probably Wednesday morning if need be. I'm going to be away Thursday->Monday after that. So let me know if Mon-Wed some time works for you!
