OK Barm, it's time for the most anticapted match of the season... Match where the concept of block is as alien as the love child of E.T. and Alf. Match where players move as fast as trees grow. Match where players might travel through air more than the ball. Match where calling your opponent's big guy wood-faced or dumm as a rock is not an insult but an accurate appraisal of their qualities. Match that'll make a bash fest between orcs and dwarfs look like high-level tactical chess match. Match where cheerleaders will want to make you hurl but where food is delicious. The stunt-fest of the season. It's the back-to-the-roots game between the two blood bowl powerhouse races. TIME FOR THE GOB'FLING FEST!

I'll be making a long drive to northern Finland this weekend so weekdays will be the only possibilties this week. Hope one of these suits you, sir (GMT+2 / CEST):
- Today (Tuesday): 19.30-20.30 Things came up, have to take this one off the board.
- Wednesday: 18-21
- Thursday: 18-20

If these won't work, Sunday evening might be doable. Otherwise it'll have to be next weeks Tuesday as my Monday evenings are devoted to badminton and board games.

I should be good with the following start times this week (CEST/GMT+2):
Wednesday: 17-21
Thursday: 17-21
Friday: 17-19

If all of those fail, I may have to wait until next Wednesday evening.

We can try for Thursday as neither Wednesday nor late Sunday works for me. I just have to know when a match in another league with an American guy is to be played as his availability might be even worse than yours. But a match starting at either 18.00 or 20.00 on Thursday should definately be possible unless he can only start at 19.00 (which would be weird).

Cheers!

All right, I'll pencil in Thursday tentatively. Let me know when you get the final word!

Good news, I got an answer quickly and we (you and me) are good to go on Thursday. How about 19.00?

Hi Luiggi

I can probably play after work most days this week (not today though) and nothing planned at all during weekend.

I would prefer to play during weekend, but am flexible.

I can play this weekend too but I'm still not very sure about the exact times. I'll write back with a proposal in a couple of days, in the meantime, feel free to post your availability for Sat and Sun.

Equilibrium: I can play tonight and probably all day tomorrow. Then I'll be gone the whole weekend but can play on Monday.

Hey J-R!

Got a message from the American fellow who suddenly became available tonight. Do you mind postponing our match to 20.00? It would save me having to get up early on Sunday and both me and my GF would be quite appreciative of that (esp. since we're going to a party on Saturday).

If you can't then NP, if you can then super  :)
Cheers!

No problem mate, 20.00 will do fine. See you then!

Argh! Very annoyingly, we lost contact with the server just after turn 16. But I got this screenshot in just before the last dwarf fell while trying to grab the ball:

Nuffle was very lopsided, and gave me a lot more luck than I deserve. I guess an admin win is the only fair way to go here?

The match was submitted to BBM without any real problems, since we actually played all 16 turns:

NUFFLE HAS FOUND A NEW FAVOURITE
And it seems to be my goblins. After last week's Nuffling of Kvasi I was waiting for karmic payback. Instead I got to witness the MOST serious nuffling I've EVER EVER FOREVER seen. Barm couldn't get anything important done, there were 1s and skulls flying all around on the field. And to top it off, sometimes just before hitting Barm with a 1, Nuffle decided to grant him a 6. Like when his treeman caught the bomb thrown by my bombardier, then fumbled it, knocking down two of his players and one of my trollies. What was the end result of this fumble you ask? One dead halfling, that's what. Meanwhile, I was making 1 die blocks without even breaking a sweat. Some of the nuffling highlights:
- Block on my ball-carrier standing next to sidelines. Two pushbacks would take the ball off the field. The result? Two both-downs. Halfling stunned. Goblin OK.
- Treeman catches a bomb (no, I'm not getting dementia, this is another throw, not the one I told earlier) just to fumble it and knockdown himself.
- Three skulls on a block just to make things interesting. Resulting reroll results into pushback.

Also, if you want to see stats lying, head onto BB Manager to check the stats there. In light of those numbers this was a fair and even match. HAHAHAHA!!! Sorry again for the nuffling Barm, as I said, I would've crashed some furniture and glassware if I had been in your boots.

Here's the gruesome story in graphics.

Yep, the match shows unplayed. The dwarfs will lose their MVP if we go for the admin win but on the other hand, the one Miss next game injury that the dwarfs suffered will also cancel out. So admin win seems fair to me. So if it is OK for Lars also we'll do that one. Let us know Lars.

Flakes-Searchers match admined to 1-0 win for Frosties.

Golden: No info about Equilibri, but according to his member info he was active on the forum yesterday on the 22nd. Have you tried a pm?
Title: Re: Match Day 2 - OPEN
Post by: Barmution on August 23, 2013, 08:19:55 AM
Yeah, mentally that was one of the toughest matches I've ever played and I've been pitch cleared as Skaven on more than one occasion.

My motivation for staying with these squishies through the season now is that it would be unfair for the teams that haven't played them yet to lose out on an easy win and an SPP deluge. So I'm going to fight through it. Additionally Nuffle f*cking owes them ;D

Thanks for the match, J-R. Please continue to do well with your Gobbos, somebody has to represent us stunties a bit more honorably than the Cooks.

Hi Luiggi

Seems the weekend is still mostly ok for me. I will probably get a visit from china midday on sunday for a couple of hours but apart from that I can play most times.

Hi there, sorry it took so long for me to reply.

Sunday between 18.00 and 20.00 GMT +2 is fine for me, if you can make it we can play then.

If that doesn't work, I might be able to play on Saturday between 19.00 and 21.00 GMT +2 depending on when I finish a midday party at home, but sadly I can't guarantee it right now...

Hi!

I am really sorry for this, but I have totally missed that day 2 has been posted!
Have been working my brains out so when I looked at the forum a couple of days ago I really thought I was reading Day 1 and that Day 2 had not been posted yet... Pretty strange in my head right now... :D

I cant play until wednesday around 18:00 if that is ok, otherwise I will leave a WO to you because of my totally confused behavior...

Again sorry for this, but I have no idea what happened!

The elf vs skaven shootout ends with a 4-2 victory for the fast food company. Early injuries suffered on the elven side, coupled with the rat's tenacity to remain on the pitch were the key factors today.

Good news for both coaches: 70k winnings that should allow for positionals and apothecaries. Bad news: a -str lineman for the elves and an MVP hog in the form of a mercenary linerat... greedy bastard!

Good game, hakos, with a few rats removed from the pitch the outcome would have been quite different, but they just didn't break! It was stun stun stun and the odd KO here and there...

Good summary Luiggi.

The stats summed it up quite nicely, more or less the same amount of blocks, the difference was really the injuries.

Not shown in the stat is that I got 4 injuries, and the first 2 was already in turn 1 and 2.

Feels good to get a lot of gold, also, learned a couple new things about playing elves, and didn't do as many mistakes as in the first match, even if I did some. So, it get's better.

Thanks for a fun game with several crazy plays. I don't think you expected my first TD considering the position at that time :)

Edit: Just saw that we did a total of 9 successful passes together, that's quite a lot

For my part it's ok to wait, not sure if the rest of the guys here want to wait for us. I think I can make it on wednesday, but can't say so for certain just yet.
