Hi Gnaarkill, time for the bitches versus boozers matchup! Here are my OK starging times for the week (all times CEST/GMT+2):
- Tuesday 17-21
- Wednesday 17-21.30
- Thursday 17-19
(- Saturday 12-22)
(- Sunday 10-18)
Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. I'm not yet totally sure about Saturday & Sunday but I should be able to make it at the given times.
OK, Kvasi. I have exam period right now so while I don't have much time I can make time almost anytime during the day. I know I will be busy tuesday andfriday evening and either wednesday or thursday evening. Not quite decided yet. How does it look for you?
Hiya Lasseman, time for the last match of the season!

This week is not so bad, I should be able to play all weekend (finally a relaxing weekend at home, can't wait), and should probably be able to start between 18-22 CEST Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Gotta say I'd really prefer the weekend sometime though, if it happens to work out.
Oh, all times in CEST, except for Sunday and onwards, which will be in CET :)

Yeah weekend sounds good. I would prefer to play as early as possible so I have the evenings free.

Hey J!
My boys are really excited about this game versus the amazons, they havent met any girls since they started training for the NUL-league (except for the cheerleaders, no one takes notice of them anymore), I hope they can play the ball instead of stand stare ;)
How about Tuesday @21.00?

Suits me fine, as long as it's not _too_ early :)
I can probably guarantee 1100 CEST both Saturday and Sunday. Might be up sooner, but hard to tell in advance. We could say Saturday 1100, and I can post here if I'm up earlier?
No 11 is perfect for me as well. So lets say Saturday 11.00 CEST :)

Ok Bantha, when can you play?
My times are as usually limited so I would prefer the weekend and even more specifically sunday since I have a feeling I will be very tired on saturday, quite possibly with a nasty hangover...

So lets plan for the weekend then shall we?
More details later.
Cougar Kittens 2 - Vinterlegionen 2.
Kittens refused all the hits by the norse, must've been that time of the month, only two KOs for the Norse if I recall correctly. Kittens on the other hand injured two and KOd a bunch of the Vinterlegionen. However, Vinterlegionen thrower Gunnar was on fire longbombing a TD throw at the end of the 1st and then making a perfect long bomb pass while surrounded by 4 Kittens to make the score 2-1 for the legion 3 turns before the match end. Kittens managed to tie at the last turn with a bit shorter passing play.
I have some match reports waiting to be written but unfortunately I'm swamped at the work right now, so match reports might come later or not.
Sorry Luiggi, I must have checked the forum just before this thread was posted, and since then i have been busy. I am going to a wedding this weekend, so the first time I'm able to play is sunday evening. If that doesn't work, I will be able to play monday or tuesday evening. (CET)
Ok, Gurgeh, I think we'll find a good time to play. Post your available times when the day draws nearer :)
The Material Ghouls hand out a severe nuffling to the poor Chaotic Dudes who loses another Chaos Warrior to Dead -> Dead :-\
The D6 discrepancy was ridiculous; I could do no wrong and Lars' rolls seemed doomed to fail. Sorry for the dice rape, Lars and hope both your apo and dice get better in the playoffs.
-Barm
Yhea it was a hard time for me i was pretty happy after kick-off when i got the blitz and managed to KO your mummy but that must be the only good think i did in the match.
/Lars
You were very quick to put your guys in my tackle zones, perhaps a little too indiscriminatly at times. That and parking your ball carrier in contact with my Ghoul next to the sideline was probably what cost you the most. That said, starting with 3 CW and rapidly losing another to BH really didn't help you. The injuries I got on you were pretty lucky (CW BH'ed by Ghoul, jeez), so while better/more careful positioning might have helped you a bit, it was by no means a given since I was rolling hot at that point. Oh well, with some luck Nuffle will reward your tenacity in your next few games. That Mino was a handful, even when he was basically on his own.

I have to be somewhere at 12.00 sadly, so can't make this time on saturday. I can either play 10.00 or we can do it on sunday instead, I think the whole day's free for me.

Well, I can do 1000 with a minimum of effort, I'm not planning on having a hangover tomorrow, so let's go for that :)
OK, nice :)
Logging in now!
Me and Golden's match sees the Nurgle winning 2-1 in TD's and 7-0 in casulties.
I receive first, and score in only 4 turns (couldn't really have waited, I'd be smashed to bits). Some great positioning and tentacling in the second drive by Golden enables him to equalize with an elfy chaos goat in turn 8.
Second half starts, and I choose to gamble everything (in the traditional manner) on a quick sack of the carrier. That... very... nearly worked. But it didn't. From there on out, it was a blood bath, seeing the death of veteran Tiger Woods amoung a bunch of badly hurts and a couple of fractured arms.
Don't think Nuffle was too interested in the match either way, some highs and some lows on both sides. I did lose the gamble that could have possibly won me the match, but it was risky, and not succeeding was rather to be expected.
Anyway, it was a fun game, good luck in the play-offs!
Hello Bantha.
I'm back from work, vacation and almost 3 days without internet. So now I'm ready to play almost whenever (considering timezones of course).
So, can we fit in something tomorrow? My clock is around 20 now so I doubt we will have time to find a time today...
BR/ Hakos
How do you feel about a Monday evening game?
20CEST?
Else we take it tomorrow.
Will 21 CEST do on a Sunday, if we cannot manage Monday?

Hmm, CEST = GMT+1, right? My time is GMT+8. So 20 or 21 CEST is equal to 3 or 4 in the night for me, i.e. not that good.
As of today, sunday, I can play from now and up until a start at around 22:00 my time, which would mean a latest start in 15:00 CEST, but I would definitely prefer to start earlier than that...
If we play on a weekday, it get much harder to find a time. I usually get home from work at 17 or 18 my time, which equals 10 or 11 CEST. And since my latest start time would be 15:00 CEST we will not have that much time in common... If we start at 22:00 CEST, that would mean 05:00 my time...
I might be able to strecth some of my times but I do not know which day since I would need to synchronize with a day on work that has no meetings so I can either leave early or, more probably, get to work late.

Tonight at 22.00 gmt +1 is ok for you? There's a soccer match I wanna watch that ends at 21.45, but if that is too late for you I can always turn on the radio... :P In that case we could start from 19.30 on.

Seems we missed each other very closely, I checked here 21:30 my time and gave up at that time, and now, 22:55 my time I checked just out of curiosity before going to bed. I think you wrote your answer just ~10 minutes after my last check. :( I could play now, eventhough it is quite late but you will probably not check here again in short enough of a time :(
It might be possible to play on a weekday if one of us can change working times a bit. I might be able to do that if I get some forewarning.
Lets do it correctly this time ;D
Check if you have any openings in the daily schedule, then we can try that.
Otherwise I'd guess we wait until next weekend.
As I had nothing planed for this weekend I more or less did not plan ahead because I knew we would have no trouble getting a game... and then we got this company enriched life but messed up with NUL-plans.
Cheers!
/B
Just wondering, since you're talking about leaving this for next weekend, does that mean the week is extended? Because I still have had no word from Gurgeh and in case we can't play it today, it might be good to know we still have more options.
PS: I still trust he'll show up tonight even though he hasn't confirmed an exact time :D
Now I am back from the wedding I attended. I can play this evening. But I would prefer to play tomorrow or tuesday evening, since I will most likely be less tired then. I leave the decision up to you.
Ok, I don't really care but I don't have many options for Monday or Tuesday. Feel free to choose (I know you told me it was up to me but I don't really care, besides you know how tired you are or how much you feel like playing now).
Tonight (Sunday): I'd prefer at 22.00 (in 3 hours 30 minutes), but if that's too late for you, we can start at 19.30 (maybe earlier if I finish some homework fast enough).
Monday: 21.00 to 22.00.
Tuesday: 17.30 to 18.00.
After that, it's a local holiday so I'd struggle to get the game played (I'll be away from home for a few days), though Saturday/Sunday would probably work. Only in case, of course, that the admins let us play it so late :D
In that case, I prefer monday 21.00 CET. At 22.00 tonight I think I will be asleep. ;)
Perfect, sleep tight :P See you tomorrow at 21.00 CET.
Hi.
It seems my wednesday and friday are quite free before lunch, which means I can get late to work. Which means I might be able to play late on tuesday or thursday night. Basically I could extend my starting time to 24:00 (17:00 swedish time) on tuesday or thursday.
So if you can get home early on one of these days it could work out, the earlier, the better...
I guess friday evening is an option as well since I can sleep on saturday but I would prefer to play on saturday instead in that case.
Otherwise it will have to wait until weekend.

The high elves beat the pro elves in a rather unbalanced match, injury-wise. I guess starting the game with a double skull (and it's not the first one) is always a bad omen.
I'll make it short: my players decided they'd get injured pretty easily, while theirs decided not to leave the pitch despite plenty of blocking and 7 armor breaks. That, plus the fact that his rookie thrower survived 5 dice against him in his first offence (that would have meant the 2-0 for me), finished me up. Well, that and a crazy interception to score his first touchdown. And my dodger's tendency to get POWd in every block against them.
Outnumbered all game long, I still managed to score an equalizing 2-2, and there was a ray of hope with a Pitch Invasion, leaving only 3 high elves and 5 pro elves on their feet. It was not enough, though, and he still managed to score with 4 GFI and a pass and catch.
Congratulations to Gurgeh for his win, I'll have to settle with a mid-table finish when I could have (seeing how this game went) finished up as the runner-up. No biggie, though, I didn't have many expectations on this team anyway :D

Ok, lets play on thursday then. I will make sure to post when I get home on thursday, the earlier you can post your probable starting time on thursday, the better.

NP. Just to prove Hakos' point, here's how the playoffs will go depending on the Getingarna - Drop Dead Gorgeus matchup:
- DDG will play Chaotic Dudes whatever the result will be.
DDG wins:
- Material Ghouls vs The Partly Animals
- Sweet Sweet Decay vs Getingarna
- Cougar Kittens vs Elfy Way
Tie:
- Material Ghouls vs The Partly Animals
- SSD vs Elfy Way
- Cougar Kittens vs Getingarna
Getingarna wins:
- Getingarna vs The Partly Animals
- Material Ghouls vs Elfy Way
- SSD vs Cougar Kittens
Wow, that's a real decider, then ;D
Good luck to both of you, I'll be busy teaching my Wight to Tackle...
Hmm, I was planning to play for survival but now I see that I will need to play for not losing.
I do not want to meet the Nurgle in my quarter final. That is the team I fear the most, even more than the Khemri.

So what you're saying is that you need to play for long-term survival rather than short-term survival ;D
We accept your fear and take full responsibility for anything that might happen in that hypothetical game :)
Hakos, I think I can be home around 16:30 CET. ::)

Hi, just got home from work, ready to play whenever.
Are you sure you mean 16:30 CET? That would be 00:30 my time. I thought that previously we were discussing 16:30 sweden time (CET+1).
Anyway I will check here regularly from 16:00 Sweden Time (CET+1).
/Hakos
Swedish time is cet now with no daylight saving time.
CET = GMT+1 atm, if that helps to clarify anything.
Ok, thanks, then I understand.

Matchen spelad. Kan inte påstå att jag spelade bra, men ibland behövs inte det.
Vann med 2-0 mot Khemrisarna.
Misstänker att Mr B kommer att kommentera tärningarna en del, och med all rätt.

hehe, true.. the game was served on a plate, but you handled it good hakos.
And yet the BB-M shows that I was the lucky one.. haha, right.
4 double skulls and huge amount of both down.. it's not a good one.
I cannot recall seeing this before having ~10% turnovers with 2,02 och blocking dices.
But I'd guess I'm the lucky one anyway, having this game when it did not matter for my part. 8)
Day forwarded, the playoffs begins!
Good luck folks!

NUL match week 9 recap by Fagronkey Nagrumbundyme.
Results from the week 9:

Welcome to the recap of week 9 games of NUL! The final week of the regular is behind us and the playoffs are lurking ahead so we'll start with a quick recap of the games and then head onto playoff speculations. The final week started with the Cougar Kittens versus the Vinterlegionen game. This matchup was advertized as a friendly game for both male and female spectators which probably is true considering that both of the teams favor a bit lighter armor style (and of the teams also goes with a bit looser morals according to some rumors). In the game itself the norse surprisingly proved to quite a gentlemen, as they only knocked down 4 amazons. The amazons on the other hand proved to be the man-eaters that the tabloids claim them to be - the violent jungle-wenches downed a norse player 15 times, scoring 4 KOs and 2 injuries. So the norse were playing undermanned for most of the match but their thrower Gunnar showed some real talent making a last minute long bomb TD pass at the final minutes of the first half and then making a spectacular across the field pass on the second half just a second before he was taken down by 4 grazed amazons – a dream for so many a men but a nightmare for so many a Blood-Bowler. The Cougar Kittens however managed match both of the 2 Vinterlegionen touchdowns so the match finally ended in a draw.
The second match of the week was the Chaotic Dudes versus the Material Ghouls matchup. Both teams played a physical game but this week seemed to favor the teams with mostly woman players as the undead wenches won the injury race with 4 injuries against the 1 of the chaos side. This efficiency helped the Material Ghouls to a convincing 0-3 victory. The Ghouls' Sarah Jessica Paler also managed to make one of the injuries a pure kill. The victim was the Dudes' rookie chaos warrior. Curiously this was already a second fatality to a Dudes' chaos warrior as the chaos side lost a chaos warrior also in their matchup against the league's all-female team Cougar Kittens. These two female-heavy teams of the NUL really have shown that the women maybe the weaker sex but they make up for this with their first for blood as 5 of the 14 casualties this season were caused by these teams.
The third match of the week proved to be a whack-the-elf game. Unfortunately for The Partly Animals, they were the only elf team on the field, so they were doomed to play the role of the whackee while the Nurgle favorite Sweet Sweet Decay assumed the role of the whacker. The SSD scored 7 injuries, one of which proved to fatal to the veteran line-elf Tiger Woods. Line-elf Black Adger also suffered such injuries that he'll miss the wood-elf's first playoff game. This means that The Partly Animals currently have only 7 players able to take the field and as they only have enough money for one additional recruit, they'll be freebooting heavily and with freebooting I mean the practice of recruiting players from the closest pub before the game, not the popular fouling style developed by the legendary goblin line-bastard Groog "Big Boot" Perkinson. It's a really efficient fouling-method where you start the game with at least three steelboots on your right foot and then take off the outmost boot when you come in touch with a prone player and start whacking the poor sod with the freed boot. The secret to the efficiency of this method is the accuracy, as hitting with the boot in your hand is truly much more accurate than the clumsy kicking. Oh yes, the match between the wood-critters and stinkyrots ended 1-2 in favor of the Nurgle-side.
The fourth match of the week was a high-scoring all-elf affair where the playoffs bound pro-elf team Elfy Way were surprised by the high-elf team White Fire. The pro-elf players must've been already celebrating their playoff-spot heavily as they were knocked around, out and cold with ease by the high-elf players. The White Fire proved to a truly balanced team scoring both 3 touchdowns and 3 casualties. The Elfy Way didn't bother scoring any casualties and as they only managed 2 TDs, the White Fire scored their second win of the season. This win elevated the high-elfs to 7 points and above the Vinterlegionen whose final tally was 5 points. As to seriousness of the Elfy Way injuries, Popeye the sailorline-elf will miss the Elfy Way's first playoff match.
The final matchup of the week, the game between the Drop Dead Gorgeous and the Getingarna was delayed by a rubble-chicken carrying witch-dude, time warping and appearance of rain of buttecup labeled tee saucers from sausage portals above the Khemri lands. I must say that these pre-game festivals are really getting out of hand. But when the match was finally put into books, the regular season champs DDG proved to be chumps in the hands of the Getingarna as they suffered a 0-2 loss. The casualties were split 2 to 4 for the human side and one of the DDG's injuries was a permanent death of skeletal player Adjptah Tabshef. The Getingarna ogre Mar Skin-Tearer was also declared dead once during the game but on closer examination it was discovered that someone had given a piece of gum to Mar and as everybody knows, ogres aren't good at doing two things at ones, so while chewing the gum Mar forgot to breathe. He quickly recovered after the Getingarna apothecary bravely snatched the gum out of Mar's mouth. The win skyrocketed the Getingarna to the second place in the league. It is actually rumored that the spectacular play of the Getingarna was due to the Getingarna coach first showing the team the pictures of the rotting muscle-hulking Nurgle players that they would face in the playoffs if they lost and then the pictures of the hippy-shaky petite wood-elfs they would meet in case they won.

That's all from the regular season, now it's time to get to the real meaty games – the playoffs! As regular season champs the DDG will go against the 8th seed team the Chaotic Dudes. These are two physical teams but unfortunately the Chaotic Dudes are short of two chaos warriors due to reasons described earlier so their minotaur Krakrieg will have a lot on his shoulders – and probably lots of bony fellows and mummy-wrapping all-around himself. The DDG will have a clear strength advantage as most of the Khemri players are proving to be former members of a royal guard, although one of these guards, skeleton Sebhor Enmhat will be missing the match due to smashed knee (I really don't understand why the necromancers just don't go to the nearest cemetery, dig up a corpse with healthy kneecaps and rip one out for his own skeleton, must be something to do with the mumbo-jumbo side of the necromantics). One advantage for the Chaotic Dudes could be that they have more skilled players than the Khemri so with precision striking they could make the game hard for the agility-lacking DDG. Interesting fact with the playoffs is that each team has played against their opponent earlier in the season so both teams will have some idea on the style of their opponent. In their first matchup the DDG and Chaotic Dudes played a 1 all draw where the DDG dominated physically but didn't manage to injure the chaos players.
The 2nd seed Getingarna will face the 7th seed The Partly Animals. The Getingarna are true human team with no apparent weaknesses but no apparent strengths either. But they are good at guarding each other and as their thrower Gothard Rainer has managed to acquire some über-human agility (some say this is thanks to Gothard's girl-friend who happens to work as snake woman in a local circus and is also rumored to be member of aphrodisiacs anonymous, so Gothard presumably has had a lot of agility "training" lately). The Partly Animals on the other hand have no need to train their agility skills, they have more agility than they need but unfortunately only one strength player. The Partly Animals were also truly manhandled in their final game so they will certainly have to rely on the help of at least 3 freebooters. But as this is a wood-elf team, there's always hope as long as they have even one of their witch-elfs on the field. The duo of witches that The Animals have is truly fearsome, Amy "Stripper" Winemouse has earned her nick-name the hard-way, not dancing around a pole but stripping the ball away from the opposing ball-carriers. Phong "Tackle and blow mightily " Bird on the hand doesn't bother so much with the subtlety of stripping the spirit of the ball-carriers as she favors more physical methods of causing hurt. In their first matchup The Getingarna whupped the woodsy elfs 4-0 in TDs and 3-2 in casualties so the humans seem to have the wood-elfs number but one has to remember that playoffs are always playoffs.
The 3rd seeded team is the Material Ghouls who will play the pro-elf side Elfy Way. The undead team has a pair of unusually fast ghouls so they should be able to keep up with the quick elfs. As mentioned, the Elfy Way will be missing one of their line-players so they're short of one player. Elfs have enough money for a new line-elf but it could be that the team will be saving the money and trust that they'll find an adequate replacement on their way to the game. In the first matchup of these teams the Elfy Way got a 1-2 victory but as the game was played on week 1 the result probably won't have a lot of weight as both teams have lots of experience under their belts now. The coaches of these teams are also very familiar with each other, so this should be a tactically even match with only surprises coming from the Lady Luck.
The 4th seed team is the Sweet Sweet Decay and so they will host the 5th seed Cougar Kittens in the quarter-finals. The SSD has developed into a fearsomely physical blocking machine and now that their beast Josix the Unclean has finally realized that it can use its strength and tentacles to break away from the guarding players, the SSD have a truly mobile dodge-preventer in their ranks which may spell trouble for the dodgeability-reliant amazons. But as is usual with the Nurgle teams, the biggest advantage for the SSD will probably be their lack of hygiene, the scent of the Nurgle-rot has hampered numerous ball-handling feats so you shouldn't expect this match to be a high-scoring affair. As to the amazons, the Cougar Kittens have surprising number of player capable of guarding the ball-carrier and they also have arguably one of the best rushers in the game in their catcher Lana Kreuk. Lots will depend on the ability of the amazons to stay on the field and keep away from the strength players of the SSD. This could also prove to be surprisingly physical game as amazons teams are no strangers to art of hitting. In their first matchup the amazons upended the Nurglers 1 to 0.
As always the results of playoffs are hard to predict, if I was a betting man (which I'm not, I assure you, I wouldn't even dream of caching in all of my paychecks and betting heavily on these quarter-finals) I'd look into matchups very hard before making any bets and listen very carefully to any rumors about the teams and coaches. Remember that rumors are runes of unsure wisdom and deciphering them correctly could give one a nice edge in the betting game. So I'll leave you with some rumors about the playoffs teams that floating out there. But before I do that, I must remind you to pick your copy of Blood Bowl Gazette next week for the playoffs results!
- Trusted sources tell us that all of the custom made silver nose-clips that SSD's necromancer uses to block the scent of his players have been stolen.
- Getingarna players have been spotted visiting a close-by lumber mill where they were seen practicing hitting, biting and tackling large elder-wood logs.
- Rumor has it that the Chaos Dudes have spent their short vacation time on the beach where the members of the team have taken turns in crafting sand statues that their team-mates would then bash into pile of dust.
- According to sources close to The Partly Animals front office, the wood-elfs have come up with evidence that Mar Skin-Tearer of the Getingarna is of the Bloomington Skin-Tearers who were notoriously responsible for chopping down the elder-wood forest that the Animals' treeman Timber Wolf hails from. Mr. Wolf has been seen studying closely books on ogre anatomy.
- According to reliable sources DDG's coach was seen last week in Madam Poocher's Beauty Salon and Metal Shop purchasing two barrels anti-decaying crème.
- Well-informed sources have informed some trusted sources who are saying that the Elfy Way's rookie catcher Luiggis is actually the coach of the said team who has been forced to take the field due to injuries suffered by the team.
- Some members of the Cougar Kittens team have seen prancing around in the town with a surprisingly large number of silver jewelry on them, although some people claim that the silver peaces aren't actually jewelry but some kind of simple clips.
- It is rumored that the Material Ghouls' Sarah Jessica Paler isn't actually a human but the corpse of the favorite horse of a prince that was mummified and buried with the prince. I must confess that there might something to this rumor, I mean the face of miss Paler is cunningly long and she does usually block with her feet – or should I say hooves...
hehe, behold the wonders of J-R our own King of lyrics, because it's really like a song enjoying every letter typed in here.
Thanks JR!
