OK, Golden, time to settle once and for all if goblins with shiny rocks on their body are better at Blood Bowl than the vanilla buggers. Here are my OK starting times (GMT+2/CEST):
- Sunday 12-17
- Tuesday 19-21
- Friday 18-21
Hmm, didn't realize my week was going to be that busy. Well, let me know if any of those times suits you, sir. If not, I'll let you know about next week's Saturday & Sunday later (probly on Tuesday).
Sunday evening should probably work. Start at 17.00?
Elves! Not doing great against fast opponents so far. Ok, against any opponents that are not absurdly unlucky, if I'm honest.
Anyway, Sunday morning (not TOO early) should be fine. Failing that, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings should work (from 18-ish), and probably also Friday.
Ah, time to meet the fearsome halflings.
Unfortunately I will be busy this weekend, tuesday and wednesady next week.
so monday evening or thursday evening or later in the week is available.

That works fine, see you tomorrow at 17!
Hey there, Lasseman. We're up! I have to say it's the first time I see a dwarven team get so beaten up in so few games, they've been seriously cursed! Nonetheless, Block and Tackle are a rat's worst friend, so those mercenaries can still prove useful while the MNGs recover. We'll see what happens.
I can play the following days, GMT +2:
Sunday: 16.00 to 21.00
Monday: 16.00 to 21.00
Tuesday: 20.00 to 21.00
Wednesday: 20.00 to 21.00
Tell me if none of these work and we'll find alternatives :)

I can calm your fears by notifying you that both Trees now have learnt to block, so any damage inflicted from now on will not be accidental.
How about Monday at 19:00 GMT+2?

Sunday (today) at 20.00 is perfect for me, see you in a few hours!
SHINY GOBLINS BETTER THAN THE MATTE ONES!
This was proved today at the Warpstone Plumbers versus Binky and the Pain match where the souped up warpstoners dominated the plain old goblins. First kickoff started fine for Binkies, chainsaw wrecked havoc and another random casualty gave the Binkies goblin advantage and warpstoners were forced to score fast. Then the Binkies started playing to their true form and managed to lose the ball twice at halfcourt. Hightlight of the game was the awesome goblin bombardier Brain who stunned himself and badly hurt his chainsaw wielding team-mate with a fumble.
Here's the graphical story:

Ratdonald's tightest victory of the season was completed against the damaged dwarves (690 TV before mercs) in a close 2-1 win where anything could have happened. The rats had the first half while the dwarves had the second.
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=250124&lang=en)
The dwarves kicked first. A Blitz! allowed the gutter runners to score fast, and the retaliation grind was going very well, until they went too close to the sidelines and a chainpush put the ball off-field... the crowd put it in the middle and a lone stormvermin (yay Ronald!) picked it up and scored. A big blow for the dwarves, but their opposition was running out of rats FAST.
Second half started and the dwarves scored easily after the skaven thrower failed to pick up an easy ball. 2-1 and the kick goes shallow, near the halfway line. A gutter runner tries to dodge away from the LOS and goes snake eyes, giving the dwarves a chance to swarm the ball. But a mercenary blocker rolled double skulls and failed the reroll roll! Now the skaven picked the ball up and tried to let the clock run by running back to their own end-zone. It was 1 thrower and a Gutter runner against a mob of angry dwarves! (there were 2 stormvermin and a linerat as well but they were out of the play).
The dwarves put pressure on the ball, knocking down the thrower and marking the gutter runner. Then a fireball dropped the Gutter Runner and stunned him. (Note: this resulted in a known wizard bug, which happens if you wait too much to use it and the game considers it a turnover because the player lost the ball during his turn. Lars kindly passed his turn, that's a sport!). The thrower tried to dodge and pick the ball up but failed, and the dwarven runner came close to pick it up and score easily. But he got knocked down by the horny gutter runner and the thrower picked the ball up and put it all the way across the field with a scatter launch to seal the deal.
All in all, a fun game with ups and downs. Lars played a solid grind but got unlucky in the end, while both my touchdowns were just godsends. No dwarves were harmed during the match, which is news it seems (only 1 broken armor). Thanks for the game and also for passing the turn (though given the circumstances it would not have mattered if you had kept going cause you didn't exploit the bug on purpose).
By the way, what's with the shiny skaven-goblin wannabes? At this rate MD 7 can be a clash of titans.

We could have two sort of finals in a row :P
Skaven are broken, I think is the general sentiment. Also mutations are fun.
Actually that would be interesting. If one wins the cup and the other wins the league, could we call it a draw and share the trophy? :D

Friday evening is at best uncertain for me and Saturday is completely booked already.
I'd really prefer it if we played it tonight, since I could have to call off a Friday match at the last second. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

I'm ingame and waiting, Hakos.

Ok, see you then!
Too tired to write something, so here is the Picture.
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=250227&lang=en)
I think this match was decided by Barmutions 2D6 rolls.
-9,36 or in other words, only 14 of 40 armor rolls succeeded
/hakos
Yeah, you got better d6 too (11.89 vs 6.83). I got the block dice but sadly that isn't enough for a 'fling team to succeed. Very, very miffed about that failed landing roll (w RR) that stopped me equalizing in turn 8, but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles (yum!).
Note to self: Never EVER hire Zara again. 7 stabs, 6 against av7 and 1 against av8: Not a single armor break... Deeproot here we come!

Friday 1800 it is!
I will be a little late. About 18:15.
Kvasilad? What happened?
I have a sign that asks if I want to "Quit Match" because "Network connection interrupted"... Is it u or me?
Well, I have no other option then to quit the match... So, I guess I do...
Crap, my internet connection died :/
Problem was at my end, router lost IP. I would love the chance to replay, but you have every right to the admin win if you want it, as there was no realistic way I was coming back from being under 0-2 at half-time.

Ah, that is crap... Well, do I get any SPP from the match if a take an "admin win" and how do I report it?
You get your MVP and also mine, so two of your players get 5. One of the admins will fix it if we agree on it here.

Nope, everything that actually happened in the match is lost with an admin win.

You also get the spp from two TDs, 2 x 3 spp. All the spp is assigned to random players.
As Kvasi said, admin (me, Bantha or Golden) will add the result.

Then I want to play again, instead, if u like!
Can we play now, or do we need to reset something (aka the admins...)?
J-Reedy is an admin, so he can reset it right now I think?
I'll be happy to play again right now :)

Logging into the game right now.
Logging back in myself now.
That's it, the game is over fair'n'square, and I lost it 3-0. Pretty much the way the disconnected game was headed :D
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=252742&lang=en)
The first match was stopped by the judges when an angry ogre in the audience pulled the plug on the lights, and that kind of made the elves angry, cause the had a lead of 2 TD against 0... Still the coach agreed to a replay and this game went almost the same way, except that no player died... :D
A couple of failed blocks and the combined agility and movement of the elves made this game a no-brainer for the Seahawks.
The frenzied Khorne tried to decimate the elves, but as long as the 2 witches was on the field, it was hard to defend against them.
Thanks for 3 fun halves, kvasilad! Sometimes I wish every game could last this long! :D
