Match day 2 is open. Merry Christmas and have a bloody new year :)

Lasse:
I will not be able to play over the christmas days. The earliest I can play is next weekend. I don't know what times I can do yet but if any of those days suit you I'll get back to you.

Okey-dokey Hakos, time for your stingy folks to meet my whistling crew. I have the same situation as Golden, I'm going north for christmas, so the earliest I can play is the evening of 26th. Then the Friday the 27th should be doable for afternoon and evening. So basically, here's what I can offer with somekind of certainty (GMT+1/CET as usual):
- Thursday 19-22
- Friday 13-00
- Sunday 11-21

Let me know if any of those suits you, sir.

Hi there Barmution, we meet again! I'll be away for Christmas so my best chance to play is Friday, Saturday or Sunday at 20.00 GMT +1, although any time between 17.00 and 21.00 could work as well. If that's not possible, I can also do mornings (11.00 to 12.00).

Merry Christmas everyone!

Also: Merry Christmas to all NUL'ers :D

Merry Christmas to all you NUL folk out there! And be sure to remember...
You better watch out
You better not fly
Better not flout
I'm telling you why
Sam 'da Claws is coming to play
He's making a fist
And blitzing you twice
Gonna find out who's prone and dies
Sam 'da Claws is coming to play
He sees you when you're running
He knows where you'll break
He knows if you throw bad or good
So be fast for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not fly
Better not flout
I'm telling you why
Sam 'da Claws is coming to play
Sam 'da Claws is coming to play

Sam 'da Claws, also known as Sam Lesswise Gamgee, Father Basher, Gris Strangle and simply "da Claws" is a mythical Blood Bowl player of historical and folkloric origins who in many Blood Bowl dressing rooms is said to bring pain and suffering to all lazy players on the night before the big game if the players don't give anything they got on the Blood Bowl field. Sam 'da Claws is generally depicted as a tall, angry, foam-mouthed ogre - with really really really big claws - wearing a red uniform with white collar and cuff spikes, steel studded red leather trousers and a black steel-toed leather boots and who carries a mind full of Blood Bowl tactics for maiming any and all lazy players.

Hmm, if it's not too late for everyone else in the league, I think that Monday 30/12 would be best, maybe 20:00. If that is a bit late, I can try to squeeze in a couple of those other times.

I realized that I have booked a Real Life BB-game that evening, but I should be home around 21:00, so if that is ok for you I think that will work for me!

So, mon 30/12 21:00? Is this ok with the rest of the players?

Yep, we had quite even teams and both coaches played solid today, so it all came down to dice. Hakos played excellent defence and I only managed to score because I got 3 casualties (one of them Hakos' Ogre and another one his star thrower) in the first half. So I got both a man and strength advantage for the second half and managed to get the ball after Hakos had burned out all of his 4 rerolls which tells something about his day with the dice.

It's worth losing just to read J-Reedy's brilliant match reporting. Well done mate. An' your playing was rather good as well.

Just checked the Dice:
Getingarna vs the Whistling Wolves
1D: -7,66 vs 25,71
2D: -0,54 vs 1,93
Block: 54% vs 59%

Even teams, mostly solid play from both sides, but those 3 BH against me at the end of the first half really sealed the deal. After that I had to take a lot of chances to even have a chance, but it did not work out.

Hey there, Barm.

Sorry to announce this with such short notice but I might not be able to play the game tonight. I haven't been feeling very well this afternoon and I just got up from bed... at the moment I'm getting better but it can be the case that I have to go back to bed if I start feeling sick again. I'll keep you informed, if I don't post again it probably means I can play the match, but we'll see.

See you in a bit, hopefully!

Edit: Nope, I can't play tonight, I'm heading back to bed asap. Bloody hell, I didn't even last 30 minutes. Tomorrow is my birthday and I can only play in the morning (considering a night's sleep heals me up), otherwise we'd have to play it on Monday (I should be free the whole day) or if that is too late, just give me an adminned loss for missing today's appointment.

Hope you get better and happy birtday!

Ratdonald's get beat up (although suffering the worst from the crowd who was in the mood for some rocks after 3 high kicks) by the miniature scientists:
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=265215&lang=en)
This match the dice were decidedly on my side and when Luiggi's fireball fizzled there was pretty little he could do with a dwindling supply of rats to stem the Dorf tide. At least his apo-for-rent did some amazing work on Ronald Ratdonald (his ag5 super-Blitzer) and managed to turn a death into a mere MNG.

Thanks for the match and sorry about the dice, Luiggi. At least your birthday can only improve from here  :)

Post by: Luiggi on December 29, 2013, 02:12:28 PM
Yeah, that was a good match, my rats received a nice beat-up but at least only a linerat died. Games like these can be decided by details (mainly the fireball and the early catches to secure the ball) and this time it favored Barmution, and with a solid game took a deserved victory home.

Crazy game... Two werewolves being injured on the two first blocks he got to make at them (granted one was pushed into the crowd) is not good :(

There was something wrong with the BB-manager report btw, so don't take it too seriously (the result is right though) :P
Title: Re: S14 - Match Day 2
Post by: Lars on December 30, 2013, 02:02:02 AM
A quite close match between the Silver hunters and the Chaotic dudes that ended 1-2 to the favour of the dudes. This was mainly due to some very luckie rolls when the dudes managed to injur both the werewolfs and got alot of KOs manly on zombies all in the first half of the match. The dudes scored in round 8.

in the second half the silver hunters got the ball and took it down quite long down the field the dudes tried to hunt down the ballcarrier this lead to that the necromantic team could round the chaos team. Some crazy atempt to retrive the ballcarrier was made but in the end the necros scored by mid second half.
The kickoff roll resulted in a pitch invation where the chaos team had the most team members still standing and one of the sides was allmost clean from standing necro players so the chaos started to move along that side of the field. the necros managed to stop the rush but the wight that stopt it got pushed of the field toghether with the ball and the baall landed so that the chos managed to score once more.

Hi, just got home, but I'm playing squash at 1800, need to leave at about 1730, so I don't think there's time right now.

We can maybe start a bit earlier though, I should be ready at about 20:00 if there are no unforeseen delays!

Really intense match. The Partly Animals had a lot of the dice, but kick-off events spoiled a few chances. A lot of back-and-forth and nailbiting, resulting in a 2-2 final result.

Thanks for the match Equilibri!

Yeah, yet another game where my armor 8 is weaker than armor 7 and the injuries is against me.

This time, though, the Kick-Offs were mine, and Kvasilad's block-dice wasn't that great, so it was really an even game and the result was fair! The Wood Elves Dancers was a bit to difficult to handle... As always... Why can't they just die! :D

Thanx for an exciting match!
