Just a little heads up guys!
Im going on vacation to Tokyo on wednesday next week (match day 7) and will gone for 2 weeks.
I hope me and TGA can get a match going on this sunday/weekend.
Barmution, will it be possible for you to play on monday or tuesday next week?
I will be available from 19.00 both of those days.
/Gnaar
Match day is forwarded.
When can you play J-Reedy? Next week is looking pretty good for me but wednesday or thursday night looks the best right now.
Tough week for me Hakos. I'm afraid I don't really have much time before late Sunday evening. Week after should be good though.
Chees-factory when shall we play dude?
There is no stress as I see it.
It's 21 cest.. that works for me.

Same here, my earliest play time is on friday evening. I can play more or less any time on saturday or sunday in case you find some time. Late sunday might work, depending on how late, late is.
As far as I know now, monday and tuesday evening next week shold work.

Yo Barm!
Have you seen my post on the top?
I can play today starting @19.00 and onward and tomorrow same time. After that im leaving for Tokyo for 2 weeks.
Does any of those two times suit you? Otherwise im afraid i have to forfeit that match.

Sorry mate, been on a horror movie festival all night. Playing tonight at 19 is doable, tomorrow less so.
Deal?

I'm going on a weekend trip to London so it'll have to be weekday for me. Wednesday would be OK for me, Thursday would have to be early (19 CET at the latest, preferably earlier). So how about Wednesday 20 CEST (or anywhere between 19-22) and Thursday as a backup?

Ok, should we perhaps try to nail down a time for this suddenly meaningful match? :)
Tuesday is still the best option, I can probably play anytime from 18 and onwards. Just let me know which time works best for you!
I think maybe Tuesday next week would be best

Really worthy end of season vs Gnaar. Dice varied wildly but in the end I managed enough uphill blocks and dodges whilst the Ogres got hit with the worst dub skull ever to make me somewhat comfortably run in the 2nd TD in the dying seconds of the match.
Great fun and great conversation, Gnaar! Cya next season I hope :)

As always, a pleasure to play against you Barm! And indeed a worthy end of the season. We both had stinking piles of dice shit and glorious moments of dice epicness ;D
Yes, next season coach Gnaarkill will be joining the Amazon harem of Superwomen.
-Notice from the daily magazine "Blood bowl fur alles"-
In recent events after the match against the Boots, coach Gnaarkill managed to sneak out from the locker room of the OKWF. Barely escaping the certain death sentenced by the high court and king of the Ogre Kindgoms. The Reason of the sentence was ofcourse the all time low result of the kingdoms proud bloodbowl team.
Coach Gnaarkill is a slippery bastard and he is greedy so when the Big Pharma corp. contacted him during the last match they said an opportunity had just been revealed and Gnaarkill was the right man for the job.
Big Pharma is the Ogre Kingdoms well renown multi-mega corporation, dealing with the latest medicine and drugs technology for Ogres. Rumors say that the Ogres don't want to mate anymore due to the looks of their female counterparts and pictures of beutiful amazon warriors have already began invading the ogrenet. Making the population of the Ogres decrease at an alarming speed.
To stop this, Big Pharma has sent coach Gnaarkill to the Jungles of the Amazons to infiltrate their harems. The plan is simple. Start a bloodbowl team, inject the players with the vials from Big Pharma, win fame and fortune! And the Ogres will once again be a proud nation of muscular dumb ogre men and "beutiful" ogre... Amaz... Amazogrewomen
How hard could it be!?
Let's find out as the story reveals in the coming issues of "Blood bowl fur alles"

Dont worry, I just wait online until you are ready!
Welcome... To the Inzaneium Stadium, built up on the core Bones from Dr Nuffle and Mr Hide.
Today it was a game with Fangs and yellow parts of cheese.
Team Fangus really had a stinky start.. worse than any smelling cheese could produce...
It was double skulls.. double blood lust, Thralls left the stadium faster than you could spell StinkyBreath.
Somehow, the Big floppy tiles was turned 1 for the Fangs family and 0 to the BeCheesus family.
Team V lined up, and Team S did the same...
Frontline of mother Lord and town cryer of Holy Cheesus.
Pickup had to be rerolled.. Phew when the Old and Grumy coach B.. as in Baah.
Nuffled breathed in from the ground.. we all sensed the draft... and strange sound.. Except Chandler himself.
Edmund never blinked.. his yellow eyes peered grabbed the ball.. did not even look.. rushed forward handed over the ball and of he went.. flying like fox escaping the hunting grounds from the horses.
But oh my he tripped.. but hey.. how gives a shit.. he was only stunned.
The stupid Fangus team was setup for another approach.. and only a thrall could get to the ball.. which landed in the TD-zone...
But he tripped like the rat.. and Chandler scored.
Next nothing really worked for the hungry team.. could have been the cheesy smell.. but suddenly The catch for 2-1 was not done.
And Whips.. The Tiles Said 1-2 to the Cheesier Team.
Then there was a pitch invasion... apparently the Vamps was not to popular and half team was struckdown when only one Rat was found in the dirt....
So.. some defense was setup.. and a 3+ pass could save the day.. of course that failed.. and Whips 1-3 to the Cheese factory.
New half and the rats did the magic one turner flawless this time.. well a RR was used for the pickup but.. no worries.. 1-4.
The Vamps now had 8 players... 5 Vamps.. and Skaven was still with 6 players.. which was the case already in turn 4.
But the Vamp got one for free this time.. 2-4..
No RR for team cheese and a pickup failed.. ball dropped out to the crowd..
And it landed in the middle of the field.. with one thrall less.. the vamps moved ahead and could actually get 3-4.. and making one more Cas Edmund and one more on lino Gary.
5 vs 7.. 2 turns left.. the offense was one blitzer.. the defense was one runner.. not just A runner Chandler it was.
Vamps in the front.. The dodge with blitzer for one GFI for a long bomb with Chandler was the plan...
It failed directly on the dodge...
Vamps could actually blitz Chandler down, steal the ball and suddenly it was 4-4 on the big tiles.
Fucking amazing!
Insane...
Brutal..
Cheesus!

Thanks for the extraordinary game Equ!
Brother B
Wow! Don't think I've ever seen 8 touchdowns in a match before :)
Wow to both Gnaar's writeup and the B vs Equi match result! :o
And here we go, Da Beatmores end their third Da'Pop tour with a surprise gig played on the rooftop of the Unseen University and follow the spectacle with a friendly game of Blood Bowl.

Draw makes it so that the Discworld All-Stars are now clinging onto the second playoffs spot but Phin Fighters still have their game to play and win would get them into the second place which would mean there would be all-norwegian finals. So all eyes turn to... Hakos. You know what you have to do... Everybody knows that there's no living with those norskies if that happens ;)
Wow, this is certainly unexpected! 3 game ago I had written off my own play off spot and now this. Go Humans! And Lizardmen, but not too much ::)
I considered the possibility of me even having a chance to reach the finals before this match day, and wrote it off as slim to none. Guess you can't write off slim :D
Well, win or lose, this makes the final match count, which is always good :)
My record this season is not that stellar so the lizards probably have quite a good chance of winning. Have not been able to beat them any time so far either.
However, this is the last match with this team, spp and levelling does not count any more, injuries does not count any more. Plus, I really want to get a better record. So I will definitely do everything I can to win this one.
Lizards: Consider yourself warned ;)

you are probably already aware, but just to be sure, we changed to Winter time in sweden this weekend.
By 19 I mean 19 CET, which I believe is the same time in norway.

Yup, same thing here, was actually in Stockholm while the time changed :D
Logging in already, in case you're ready early.
Well, it was a tough match, which featured several leap-sacks of my carrier, but the lizards pulled out the 2-1 in the end. Thanks for the match Hakos, you sure made that slightly more exciting than I had hoped for!
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=332188&lang=en)
Congratulations to the final, well played.
I think I leapt more in this match than I have done in all matches combined before. Got the ball loose at least 3 times, but it never bounced in a good way so kvasi could always get it back directly afterwards.

THE LEGENDS OF BLOOD BOWL, ISSUE NUL20:7
After watching all the current legendary players in the Chaos Cup it is now time to look into our up and coming legendary players from NUL, season 20. Yes, it's true, for the third season in a row our reporters have been watching the NUL matches closely to find the best matches, finest moments and most interesting players. It seems we have lost the dwarves, but apart from that, all the teams from last season are still here. All are better than ever, making each match as intense as a final and each loss felt dearly. Let's go through the highlights from the normal season.
DAY 1 – A Super Star Is Born
First day opened up with a real super match. Vampires vs Humans. A total of 42 star player points were awarded in this very intense match. It included everything you expect in a blood bowl match. 4 goals, 4 passes and 8 injuries of which 3 were fatal.
3 players are worth noticing a bit better. It is not easy being a rookie thrall in an advanced season like this. The thrall 'Cathedral of Blue' came, played and was killed by the ruthless Sandalf. 'Sandalf the Wise' was his normal self and hurt another two players as well, which was enough to propel him into Super Star status. However, there was an even better player on the field today. 'Looking Glass Knight' also injured 3 players but managed to kill two of those. Mirroring his mirror kills from the last season, cementing his reputation as a serial killer.
DAY 2 – An Unusual Killer
In the second day we select the Rats vs Ogres&Snotling match as the most interesting. Not surprising considering we have 'Edmund Emmenthaler' in the Rats team. And as usual he did quite a lot including one goal, one pass and one casualty but also playing some tricky mind games with the nice ogres.
In the ogre&snotling team we saw some spectacular plays, like ogres actually catching the ball and snotlings actually scoring. But the highlight of the match is our favorite 'Little Jimmy'. Last season we saw him score two flying goals against the orcs but he is not out of nifty tricks. This time he somehow managed to find a soft spot on snotling level on a linerat. So soft that he managed to kill the linerat. Not bad for a little snotling.
DAY 3 – A Wolverine
The violent theme in our highlighted matches continue. What happened with the agile, fast paced, multi scoring, friendly games in earlier seasons? Once again we meet the Rats but this time they faced the menacing Orc opponents. This sure was one of the most brutal matches evar, with a total of 10 injuries. The orcs got two of their veteran players permanently dead. The troll Joko Ono and the blitzer Joins Breaker Lennyn. One of their lineorcs also got a niggling injury. Not a result they are used to.
The cause of all this? The phenomenal storm vermin 'Charlie Cheddar'. With his claws he managed to single handedly cripple the orc team. All 5 of the injuries, including the 2 kills, scored by the rats were made by him.
DAY 4 – A Group Hug
This time we visit the Dark Elves vs Human match. The dark elves players are rarely featured in this column since they put the team before boosting their own egos. On the other side we have the human super star Sandalf the Wise who have, rightly so, been feared by all teams facing him, and many are the attempts to bring him down.
It seemed that no player could hurt him, but when he for the umpteenth time throw himself on top of a helpless opponent the dark elves team had enough. They gathered around him and started to kick, kick and those dark elves shoes sure are pointy. Finally Sandalf was so dead that not even the apothecary could save him. Unconfirmed reportings claim that it was 'The Package' that did the final injury.
DAY 5 – A Super Star Club
So many things happened this day that it is impossible to select a match to highlight. Let's go through them one by one instead.
First out is the Lizards vs Ogres. Hogremania runs wild, 3 skinks permanently damaged and a total of 4 new have to be contracted. 'Killy Turner' runs even wilder and joins the super star club after getting his 6th MVP in day 4 and hurting 3 snotlings today. Could it be all that new muscle that makes the difference?
Second match was maybe not that spectacular. Vampires vs High Elves was quite even and it is in the even matches the true stars shine. In this case 'Looking Glass Knight' shined more than normal, did a key casualty and was judged to be the most important player in the vampire team, which was enough to gain super star status.
In the third match, Humans vs Orcs we got to see a special new player. Never before have a new player had as high expectations, but he delivered. Sandalf's son, 'Sandalf Sandalfson Jr' scored and was also named the MVP. With the mighty blows he showed today he sure walks in his father's boots.
And in the final match of the day, Rats vs Dark Elves we can watch yet another super star join the club. 'Charlie Cheddar' does "only" 4 cas this match but is of course the mvp of his team and can from now consider himself to be a super star. 'Nhicut' may very well be the next up and coming rat player since he seems to have similar strengths as Edmund. There must be something special in that cheese.
DAY 6 – A Rock Show
The High Elf vs Orc game sure did contain lots of rock(s). Before the match it was the soft one, during the match it was the hard one. Elves were going down left and right, one died while dodging, another dead one was actually saved by some elven magic potion and then it was not enough left to prevent the niggling injuries on two more players. 'Bad Boy' was a truly bad boy and 'B'Maul McCargnagey' was in the flow with 3 cas.
The audience did what they could to get an interesting match and showered the orcs with rocks but to no avail. The orcs could do whatever they wanted and did just that by trying to score twice with BoB's. The first one failed due to a failed gfi but 'Da Word' intentionally picked up the ball and then scored.
In other news, the saurus 'Lionfish Jordan' scored.
And finally, there were Witches Abroad in the ogre kingdom. 'Granny Weatherwax' intercepted one pass and scored three times, while 'Gytha Ogg' did one pass and hurt 3 opponents.. One so bad that he got a visit from DEATH.
DAY 7 – A Worthy Season Ending
The final day sure was exciting, with 4 teams still in contention for the 2 play-off spots. Surely there must be a spectacular match this day? And oh yes, we were not disappointed. The Rats vs Vampires match had everything. 8 goals, 7 passes, 9 casualties, 1 intercept and of course plenty of dead players. Although the dead players were dead already before the match.
A total of 51 star player points were awarded. The vampires divided them evenly between them. 'Looking Glass Knight' did 3 casualites, 'Lost Sinner' 3 touch down and 'The Rotten' 3 pass.
'Edmund Emmenthaler' reached an amazing 100 spp and is one of 3 players that have gained spp all matches this season. The other two are the vampires 'Looking Glass Knight' and 'The Rotten'.
Equally amazing is 'Charlie Cheddar' who did 3 casualties and end this season with 99 spp and a total of 15 casualties in 6 matches, he rested on day 2 due to an injury.
Incredibly enough, neither of these two rats were the best player in their team this day. That honor goes to 'Chandler Chevré' who achieved a total of 14 spp via 2 TD, 1 PA, 1 Intercept and of course was named the MVP of his team. One of the rat goals were made in one turn. It happened so fast that this reporter is not certain which rat it was, but we believe it was Chandler.
Thank you all for reading and good luck to the finalists.
Great writeup Hakos, I really enjoy these in-depth reports!
So, with a scaly stretch, the lizards make it to the finals. Worthy of note is it that the finals of season 20 see the winner of season 18 facing the winner of season 19. This one's for all the marbles!
Also, unfortunately, worthy of note is it that The Phin Phighters have never beaten The Emperor's New Boots. Not once in 4 matches.
In season 18, The Phin Phighters faced The Emperor's New Boots on match day 5 in a grueling match that ended 1-1, which to this day is the only one in this matchup that has not resulted in a loss for the Phins. The teams met again in the semifinals, which saw the Boots eliminate the Phighters in a 1-2 victory.
In season 19, the lizards took a 0-2 loss during regular season in a royal butt-whooping, this time facing a bit of an extra uphill battle thanks to Nuffle. The two teams never faced off again, as the Boots were eliminated by Da Beatmores in the semis, which enabled Phins to win the season without ever taking down the Boots.
In season 20, match day 3, The Emperor's New Boots earned another 1-2 victory over the Phins, although this time with the Kroxigor Wake having to sit it out due to injury.
So there you have it, bookies heavily favour the Boots, but can the Phins this final time buck the trend?
