Hey!
I am free all saturday, so shall we say 13:00?
Looking forward to get bashed to tiny cheesecubes by your popstarz... :D
Mr. Bantha, Sir!
I would tangle with the fang enthusiasts this very evening at nine, should the moon be out and the stars aligned!
... or, you know, next week some time.
Yo Hakos,
would you be up for playing tonight, somewhere around 20-21 CEST?
If not I could play early Sunday (starting 11-13 CEST) or we could start looking at next week.
Cheers,
Barmster

Sorry, today is out of question.
But early sunday would be perfect. Let's say sunday at 11:00, shall we?
Nice meeting you again, we haven't met since the very first match day of last season then we both had TV 1000 teams. So, like 17 matches in between, or something like that. Will be very interesting.
/hakos
Indeed, it will be cool. Seems like we're both missing out on a couple of key players too so TV will be pretty fair too.
11.00 on Sunday is a plan, mate. It's on :)

Do you think we can push it forward a bit on saturday? Have some stuff I need to do early, and I may not make it to 13:00.
Can we say 15:00 instead?

So, that was what happened... J-Reedy will tell more tomorrow...
Thanx for the game and for not killing Edmund in the last turns! :D
Muller, when can you play?
I can play anytime tomorrow. Otherwise, next week is a little sketchy, but wednesday night should work at least.

Tight match that came down to a bit of a chess battle in the end. The Elves of FC Excelsior were a bit unlucky in the first half but managed to rally in the second after making a fantastic 1-1 equalizing long bomb and then playing a close to water tight defense for the rest of the half. Only some fairly generous dice allowed the Boots to put in the winner in turn 16.
Thanks for a great match, Hakos. Had to really shift the noggin into gear for this one.
-Barm
It was a good game.
And quite friendly, only sandalf managed to create one casualty. But that was quite an achievement since he only got to play 3 turns in total. He was kicked unconcious twice. Unfortunately the judge had a keen eye and sent off both my kickers. The boots showed a better mastery of this subtle art. Only one sent off players in 4 attempts, and it was a player known for his dirty tricks, so I guess the judge had a special eye towards him.
Thanks for the game.

Diary of a roadie
Definitely the most fecalicious day ever. This should've been an easy gig in this stinking Skaven cheese factory city but it seems nothing ever goes smoothly for us here. The last time we were here, the gig went smooth as a bald man in a shoe shining machine. There were many peculiarities though, I remember wondering why our set list was only half of the normal length and why we had hired local extra muscle some of which had fire-fighting equipment with them. Asked Sarge about it he told me that Skaveneettes are fast as lightning and as frenzied as rabid rats but they lack the endurance so we wouldn't need to go through the full set list. And the reason for the extra muscle was that Sarge thought our guys were too slow to catch those teennettes that had a hankering to rush the stage so we needed some fast local muscle. And the fire-fighting, never have seen so many teen fans so fire up – literally. Sarge explained that talent's da'pop just gets those Skaven girls so excited that they start rushing around lightning fast and all that friction with soft fur rubbing against another is just an invitation for spontaneous combustion. Don't know how Sarge has gotten so smart, that's doesn't seem to be very common with these orc guys. And you wouldn't believe it about that guy, I mean Sarge has muscles over muscles and I've seen him go head to head against our bodyguard muscle without flinching.
But as I said, gig went smoothly, couple skavenettes of course got to the stage through our own muscle but local muscle caught up with them quick. And then there was that moment during Shake, Rat and Roll when it seemed that the whole place would go up in flames with all fiery shaking going on in the crow but those fire-fighter Skaven saved the day. Also, we had Miss Cheeselle scheduled as the last song, but Sarge had the sense to cut the gig just as the talent was going to start it. Don't know what would've happened if he hadn't done that, I mean those Skavenettes looked both exhausted and frenzied that I'm guessing half of them would have combusted and the other half died of strokes. But everything worked out well. Too bad that the things didn't go as smoothly during the post-gig Blood Bowl match.
Yeah, I remember smelling trouble when we took the field. Well, actually I smelled all kinds of stinky cheese as the match was played on a field that was next to what looked like at least a dozen cheese factories. Okay, to be really honest, it smelled like a wet, sweaty and panting dog who has been rolling around in troll dung and eaten bunch of that stuff. Half of our guys threw up the moment they got out of the dressing rooms but those Skaven just seemed to get more excited. And that was also the first time that Joko Ono took the field. She's been nothing but trouble for the band but what can you do when one of the talent insist on her taking part of every band activity. Okay, that time she was ok, she got that one casualty and only stood still looking stupid couple of times. Yeah, I guess she played just as well as rest of the band. I mean we missed half of our blocks and those Skaven speed trains seemed to be able to dodge at will through our guys. Lost the match but didn't really feel so bad about it after such a good gig.
And then we get to this day... Everything started out so well. I was wondering as we had only a quarter of a set list planned but Sarge was of course on top of it. He had talent come out with each of them holding basket of cheese pieces and with instructions to toss the cheese pieces to crowd AFTER kissing each of the pieces. Devil of a plan that was, I swear that my keen sense of movement saw the roof nudge every time from those 'louder than trollish thunder god in a crowded pot and kettle shop' screams and shrieks that those Skaveneettes let out every time one of those cheese pieces hit the crow. And naturally there was brawling for the pieces and good bunch of the weaker teens got knocked out. And then talent opened the set. With Miss Cheeselle. I know it's the cheesiest of all soft'n'cheesy softie ballads there is but boy did it hit that crowd as hard as a half troll-ogren smith's iron hammer strikes an anvil. Didn't even need my keen sense of movement to realize that the whole place started shaking from the force of those screams and those tiny Skaveneettes rushing around and getting their fur caught on fire. And boy, Sarge must've been in a hurry to get the gig over soon, because after Cheeselle the talent started... Sour Milk Cheese-Sea. By the time the song was over half of the crowd had fainted or was carried out with their fur smoking. But hey, everyone of those knocked out girls was smiling as hard as a vampire in a convention of fair-skinned and blue-veined maidens.
Yep, didn't take but a few more songs and the crowd was as satisfied and tired as a bee after a visit to flower shop. And then it was time for the Blood Bowl match. Started out bad for us, those cheese factory guys scored a fast one on us and hurt Hairyson badly and knocked out Joko while doing that. But Sarge was looking cool as deep-frozen cucumber all the time during that first drive and told everybody that it was going to be OK and they should just give him cover as he was going to walk into the goal zone. And then he did that, picked up the ball, told couple of our guard-worthiest muscles to follow him and proceeded to the end zone with leisurely pace with none of the Skavens getting even a whiff of him. Meanwhile rest of the guys went to work looking much more efficient than during the first drive. I may have to take part of credit for that. You see, we had our guys wear big cotton stuffings in their nostrils so that they wouldn't be disturbed by those smells again. That seemed to help but I also noticed that our muscle was starting to turn blue in the face during the first drive so after the score I told them that they should breathe through their mouth. It took some time to explain the concept to Da Word and Teddy Boy, but they finally got it. And when those guys get it, they really get it going. It was knock out after knock out with B'Maul adding some casualties to the score.
There were actually only seven Skaven left on the field when the second half started so everything seemed to be smooth-sailing for us, especially when Sarge got the ball up again and those Skaven were being carried off the field one per turn, some KO'd, some hurt. And then the scheissiest of all the shitty things happened. That Charlie Cheddar guy, the one with those claws, blitzed Moonlight and... killed him... I mean the kid just dropped like a hot meat sausage from the hands of heat sensitive vegetarian. Our doc took one look of him and said there was nothing he could do. I know he was just a roadie and rookie and so badly mawled'n'clawed that even his mother wouldn't have recognized him, but at least the doc could've tried. Well, at least Piggies knew the roadie code, our muscle took Cheddar down and Piggies went after him roadie style. Meaning he kicked him right in the balls when he was prone as a baby. Ref ejected Piggies of course. It's not that he saw Piggies kick the Skaven first time, I mean most of the refs out there are blind as bats as it's a prerequisite for getting into ref training. But he finally caught that twentieth kick probably because Piggies was screaming and yelling obscenities. That's what roadie rage does to you. Well, we of course won the match, when Sarge walked into the goal, only the Skaven star runner was left on the field and he was in the opposite corner at our end. So, should've been a happy day for us with another triple-A gig and a win but it's never good when you lose one of your own. Well, at least that Blood Bowl panel had the sense to give the MVP award to Moongligh. He deserved it, he would've made hell of a roadie.
Yeah, next stop is that high-elf place. Should be interesting, I mean it's rare an occurrence when you get to see high'n'mighty elfettes and elfteennets lose their cool. But our guys are fab and there's four of them, so that they'll surely do.
--------------------
Well, the match started off bad as Equi-man managed to get one of my blitzers SI'd BH and KO my troll with his claw+MB+Piling oner and then scored the go-ahead with ease. But then the KOs and injuries started racking up and as Skaven had no answer for my +ST thrower, I had no trouble equalizing. Bad KO recovery rolls left 3 rats in the dugout and second half's first drive started 11 against 7 and ended with 9 against 1. Lost a lineorc in the process but as he was rookie, didn't bother using apo on him, so he was naturally awarded the MVP. Skavens managed to get only 3 guys on the field for the one remaining turn so there was no chance of one-turner. Thanks again for the game, Equilibri, and good luck in the rest!

Was a quite even match even thou the dice trolled the C-dwarfs and the ogres managed to hurt a lot. But the supperior speed of the bullcentaur and the rain helpt the dwarfs to scroe a winning goal in the end.

And thank you Lasse!
I had great fun. My block dices was awsome for once!
The OKWF had a real hard time in the rain. The fumbling snotlings gave Jummy Sounds an opportunity late in the second half which Coach Lasse took good care of resulting in the match only TD.
/Gnaar
Did not notice I was actually sweating until I wiped my brow after that final blitz. That was a tense match.
It started out with Nuffle giving me some extra wind in my sails, granting me the first receiving drive and a quick snap to boot. Everything went smoothly for about 1.75 turns, where my sure-footed skink failed GFI with snake-eyes in the end zone with the ball (I think it says a lot about human psychology that I strongly feel GFI's fail more often in opponents' end zones despite all rational thinking indicating otherwise).
Since I was pretty (over-)confident about making the 35/36 roll, the rest of the team was in a sorry state. That is, mostly hypnotized. It was an easy recovery for the vamps, and I felt pretty sure this was going to be one against fairly soon. Through some pretty horrid dice for the vamps though, the lizzies managed to recover and score.
3 turns left in first half is plenty of time for vampires, though, and although a daring scheme to blitz with the kroxigor came within a gfi of sabotaging it, the drive was successful in equalizing to 1-1.
The second half was a back-and-forth tense battle which the phins absurdly managed to steal and come away with the winning TD in turn 16.
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=323173&lang=en)
Whole match really felt random, as my D6 were horrible (-15, couldn't dodge for shit), but my 2d6 and block dice were stellar (+15 armour break), which really made the difference in the second half. Felt like I easily could've lost the match 2-0 if it weren't for a couple of strong rolls at crucial points.
Anyway, thanks for the match B! Really shouldn't make'em this exciting this late, as there's no way I'll be able to sleep for about an hour now :D
So... what's up with the last match, golden and muller? It's been over a week since MD start now.
Don't know, haven't gotten a reply from Müller since Sunday. I realise that this is probably stressful times for most of us though so I don't blame him.
Quite late.. but thanks for the game kvasil.
Well done.. I pushed my luck to far.
Good luck dude!!

Sunday or monday starting at 21 works for me.
OK, I can't make monday. Sunday might be possible, but I really can't say right now. I will try to update you when I know more.
Tonight won't work. I might actually be able to do tomorrow though if we start late enough. 22 would be best but might be possible to start slightly earlier.

Hi muller. I can't make it tonight sadly. I have to spend time with my family. Also, I won't be able to play for a whole week since I'm on vacation so I'll have to forfeit the game :(

Ok. I can wait but What do the other say?
Week is a bit much IMHO, but that's just one of many votes.
Well, I was hoping for fast week. I'll be away from July 3rd to 21st on an overseas road trip where I won't have any gaming machine available, so I was hoping we would have a remote chance to get the season over before I have to go AWOL for the two weeks. But if most of you guys want to wait, that's fine with me.

So do I. Feels like I've waited an eternity already and really want to play some BB! Sorry...
Agree, one week more is too much waiting, methinks. /hakos
It's already 4 days since I complained about this MD going on for a bit too long, so I guess my vote is clear.
As for the admin/forfeit, I'm a bit unclear as to who's more at fault though. I guess Golden had to pull out at the last minute, but muller failed to reply to the thread for about a week. I'm a bit ambiguous there.
June 3: Match day starts
June 6: Golden write with two possible start times
June 6: Muller replies, proposing the same evening which was already not a possibility for Golden based on first post
June 8: Golden questions whether his second original proposal is still a possibility
June 13: Muller replies with two new possible times
June 14: Golden says he _might_ be able to play tomorrow
June 14: Muller accepts
June 15: Golden can't make it after all.
I'd say that a fair effort was made by both players to schedule the match, but both had (presumably) very busy schedules, and it seems like Golden just unluckily ended up with the short end of the stick for a proposal he said he _might_ be able to make.
If it were up to me, I think I'd admin a draw there, but that's my 2 cents.
Agreeing with Kvasi. Draw seems fair on this one, based on what I know.
OK, looks like majority has spoken. Bellyz-Discworld admined to 1-1 draw and match day has been forwarded.
Not much time for these now adays, but here is a short update /hakos
THE LEGENDS OF BLOOD BOWL, ISSUE NUL19:6
Time flies, let's look into NUL S19 and see what has happened since our last visit.
The STAR's
The race for being THE star is on in the league. Edmund and Sandalf share the number 1 spot with 61 spp but there is also a new contender, Chuck. Let's examine them closer.
Edmund is slowing down a bit but has made 8 successful passes in 6 matches. Second best for the season. Sandalf continues his methodical slaughter and with 8 casualties, one a death, in 6 matches, he continues to be the best at it.
#14, Value 160, 'Chuck Chevré' is the newest and most impressive star this season. He is the only player to earn spp in all 6 matches. Even more impressive is that his average is more than 6 spp per match. No one is even close to scoring as much. He is simply the best with 5 touch downs so far. No other player has managed more than 3. *
The EMERGING STAR's
There are a total of 16 players considered as emerging stars. Will all of them be stars? No, but we are willing to bet that two of them will become star's very soon since they have 50 spp each already.
#28, Value 140, 'B'Maul McCargnagey' continues to be on the top charts. With 7 CAS in 6 matches he is only beaten by Sandalf.
#29, Value 140, 'Killy Turner' has not performed that well this season but with a total of 4 MVP's he is clearly still a centerpiece of his team.
The VETERAN's
This is shaping up to be a very experienced league. With 40 veterans there are a lot of interesting players to watch. Here we have selected three veterans that have performed quite well, but for very different reasons.
#39, Value 130, 'Titus' is without doubt the best passer this season. So far he has made 9 successful passes in 6 matches. Not to mention some unsuccessful ones, especially one that transformed a "certain" victory against the lizards into a certain loss. The length of his throws is more than the combined length of the second, third and best thrower.
#54, Value 110, 'Tebul' has, in short, made short work of 7 opponents. Second best, or shortly, after Sandalf in the casualty table.
#79, Value 90, 'No-Man's Wharf' is one of the surprising strengths of the vampire team. Together with Killy Turner he is the first to reach 4 MVP's. And to satisfy his overlords blood thirst he have managed to open the veins of two opponents. One so badly that he had no blood, or life, left in him after the match.
• For those of you with access to a time machine, you know what happens to Chuck in the future. Let's celebrate him now.
Nice effort!
Like the deep research.
Great writeups, Hakos :)
Thanks
