Here it is, the much awaited Sign-up for the NUL season 22.
Official Stuff
----------------------------
- This is the 2nd season from the set of 3, so this will be TV limited. TV limit will be same as with the team with the highest TV from S21 that will continue into S22. At the moment, highest S22 team TV is 1460 (Spikes'n'Skulls), so the limit will probably be around 1500. Just to remind everybody, the rules for the TV value stuff are HERE (http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=3.0).
- Only new teams or teams that have been played in previous NUL-leagues.
- League will be played with normal 1 match week per 1 real-time week pace.
- As last season, we'll be enforcing the rule that if you don't show up to play a game on agreed time AND you don't tell about your absense at least an hour before the match in the forum, you'll forfeit the game with an 2-0 admin loss to your opponent who is waiting for you.
- ALL NEW COACHES ARE WELCOME! This is your chance of glory by starting every game with treasure trove of incentives! Start a goblin team and start practicing how to spend 1 000 000 gold pieces in incentives in three minutes!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEW COACHES:
1. Read the introductory thread with the explanation on league structure HERE (http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=3.0).
2: Create an account on this forum. Note that due to high activity from spam-bots, admins have to approve your account before you can post here. This shouldn't take longer than a day or two.
3: Post a reply in this thread that you want to join.
4: Read the "Essential rules" section HERE (http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=65.0) and post a reply in that thread that you have understood the rules.
5: The admin team will add you on the participant list in this post.
OLD Coaches now the drill, just tell what team you'll be taking to the trophy hunt.
---------------------------------------
I'll be the evener, the great leveler. That is, if even number of teams, no go for me. If odd, I'll go with... something.
----------------------------------------
PS.
Also, let's start a discussion about Blood Bowl 2. How many of you have it and when would you like us to move the league into that?
PPS.
Btw, transfer of the norscaleague.com domain is underway, provided has all the nescessary info and agreements, so it should only be matter of time that the transfer is put through and we have this small haven for our little league guaranteed for ages to come.
-----------------------------------------------------------
SIGNED UP:
1. Barmution - Big Pharma (ogres)
2. Mr B. - Mumindalen's Mischiefs (woodies)
3. Lars - Thin-Lizzies (lizzies)
4. Hakos - a team of mystery
5. Equilibri - Ye Old Dusty Ones (khemri)
6. Gnaarkill - Lustria Heroines
7. Kvasilad - Philosopher's Pack
....
The Ogres will have their major breakthrough this season, they're pretty sure of it!
In other words Big Pharma is in, nature based remedies out (at least those provided by Troll shamans).
Good news J-R!
At least regarding the forum we have here.
BB2 I actually have it on ps4.. but not more than that.
22. Mumin goes on.. i guess
Will keep going with the lizzards
Okay, got a confirmation from the domain provider that I've been officially changed as the contact person for the site so everything should be in order with the site now, should be no more unexpected blackouts.
I don't feel like I have the time to get the games in right now since I will be starting a new job in February and have recently moved so I will skip this season. Hopefully I will be back next one.
My Khemri will continue next season! So close this time to reach playoff, so I must try again!
Do not have BB 2 and will propably not get it. I like the old one!
And great to hear about the site! Good job!
And the Heroines will be at it again this season aswell.
Really hopes for that major breakthrough from Big Pharma. We really would benefit from your BigPharma inc. BabyBoom Pro©® formula. It havent really given us the wanted effect yet... ::)
Good news, J-R! May Norsca Union League live forever! Gnaarkill <-- True Norsca League Patriot ;D
As of BB2. I have no problems moving to BB2. But if the majority of people want to continue on the old plattform, that's totally ok with me! :D

You should've read the warning sticker: "Side effects may include symptoms like explosive diharrea, swollen knees, elongated nipples, developing mushroom like growths on the shoulders, not being able to think of other things than bagder racing and
no actual main effects."
To keep prices down we wrote everything in Snotlingese and in very, very tiny letters. Everything to serve the customer, y'know.
Seeing as I lost the 4 first matches of this season and won the last 3, statistically speaking, the trend definitely indicates that I will win everything next season. Logic dictates that I must continue on with the Philosophers.
That said, if all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves, I'm fairly certain that results are meaningless.

The door is a jar! :o
I'm in
Will go through all my NUL team in the weekend and see which one looks the most fun to participate with.
/hakos
Forgot to mention BB2. I don't really know how the league-managing side of things are, but the main game looks fairly good to me right now.
However, if we lose as much as a single NUL player, it's not worth moving NUL away from BB1 yet I think.
The last patch promised the ability to reconnect to matches (yay), but I haven't actually tried this yet. Not that I have been disconnected in any games, BB2 at least _seems_ more stable. Also, several new teams are on the way (4 new ones for free to existing PC owners), so there's no rush yet. Maybe we should consider BB2 for season 24? That is, when we normally would start fresh with new teams all around.
Another option, and I kinda like this idea, is to have a mini-NUL-test-league for BB2 in parallell with the main NUL season in BB1, just to try things out. Wouldn't matter that much if we were only, say, 4 players. I'd love to participate in that, and could probably squeeze those games into my schedule in addition to the normal NUL games. That way, we could gather some experience on league management and what we like/hate/miss about BB2 when running a league, if anything.
Mm... I'm a bit puzzled here.
I think I'd join a ps4 bb2 nul... Or of course i would.
But buying the game for pc mm I'm not so sure.
To me its still bb and bb1 works fine for that.
Not sure what the price is currently?

Pretty sure PS4-version is useless for multiplayer, unfortunately:

They just mention x-play. Multiplayer is possible not sure of the admin part regarding leagues though.
Depending on the team value limit I might bring back an old favorite, Opa Gangnam Style. Need to check the result after the final and see where the mumin people end up to see if it is feasible.
Otherwise I will continue with Festfixarna.
Regarding BB2. I do not have it but will get it, probably when NUL decides to go for it, or earlier.

I really like this idea! +1 for Kvasi.
Maybe we could start a new thread and do a small survey on which people who are intrested in this?
I for one is definitely up for it! :)
/Gnaar
Hey Guys!
Since we are talking a little about BB2 i just wanted to give you a little tip.
There is a 50% off on BB2 right now on steam. I bought a copy myself yesterday. The offer ends january 29th.
Just i little heads up, if someone is intrested and dont want to buy it at full price :)
/Gnaar "The Dealer" kill
Sounds interesting.. Thanks Gnar!
Hmm... Now I think it is interesting to buy the game... :D
Sounds like we're already fast approaching 4+ players who'd want to try a little BB2 "on the side" :)
Does anyone want to create a new thread for this? I can probably do it within the next couple of days if nobody else takes the initiative, but I have zero experience running anything BB-related.
Just bought BB2, have not even started it yet but.
Mordhiem takes all the time :)
That game is also at 50%, highly worth it!

Yup, it's great!
A bit samey after a while but getting those 100+ hours of fun for 50% is a great deal.

Me too B. I just bought BB2 to secure the future ;)
Yea ive noticed that Mordheim is also on sale but at the moment Europa Universalis IV is taking ALL my spare time, haha!
Mordheim seems like a cool game though. It was ages ago since i played the tabletop would have been fun to try it out again =)
Is it a "league" system in that game too, or is it just random matches in multiplayer?
Sooo, continuing on the BB2 line. I will put up a post on the bulletin board in the forums to check who wants to try out a mini-test-thingy-league in BB2.
/Gnaarkill
Cool... Heading there in a few.
Yes Mordhiem should be league possible, not invested in it so I might be wrong but it's greate anyhow.
I did buy Mordheim, but haven't really been able to get into it.

Gui wise or?
It did help a lot if you have played the tt version.
Feel free to pm me or how you want to get help if needed..
I will fire two damaged players and then the rest of the glorious Opa Gangnam Style team will join NUL:S22
Will start with only one wolf, sniff, sniff.
/hakos
So... are we still missing one player to make it 8?
Can ask a friend of mine if he is interested in joining the league
/Lars
Or I'll take a break as I signed up on some world cup Games...
Will be more games which will be harder to find games in the following weeks.
If we need the 8th player and Lars's friend won't signup, I can join.
So if Bantha man wants to play, no need to drop out, unless you feel you need a break due to world cup pressures.

I havet a feeling that it will be to many games for a period...
I have no problem taking a short break from NUL while you try out BB2. I.e. postpone S22 a bit.
Whats the world cup and what is needed to join it?

It is something created by cyanide. I think its mentioned on thier homepage for bb2.
You need bb2 pc version and to join a league who supports wc event.
And I'm in two by accident. But the closing time was 01 feb. But there are usually dropouts so i can check fir your part if you are interested?
My friend was willing to join just think his registration to the page needs to be aproved.
/Lars
New member Snyto approved now.
I'll take look at the registration situation at the weekend latest and we'll try to get the league going next week.

Think the Ground rules is found here http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=65.0 (http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=65.0)
the league format is explained in the first post of this thread http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=3.0 (http://norscaleague.com/index.php?topic=3.0)
Only teams used in this leauge is allowed to enter so you will have to crate a new one this is the second round of three so teams with a bit higer TV so choose a team that can benfit from inducments and have a strong starting skill set.

I don't currently own BB2 but from what I've seen when watching totalbiscuits league it sure looks shiny so I wouldn't be adverse to to try it out.
/Ulf
Currently we are 5:
Equ
Kvasi
Lasse
Barm
Gnaar
I kicked myself and Golden out,
And current setup is 8 players.
Let me know if I need to change it, Else we are found by searching for NUL..
Joining NUL: Feeder Camp with the dedicated team.

Ok. Now if Snyto joins. That's 6.
Hakos has also signed in and told that he'd be taking his necros. But as Mr. B dropped out, the TV limit for the S22 also dropped down to 1350 (that's Barm's Ogres TV with 3 freebooters added). So,
Hakos, let us know if you're still in and which team you'll be taking along.
If Hakos joins in, I'll also join with a new team (probly with Khorne), which will make us 8 for S22. If Hakos won't join, we'll go with 6.
Mr B. I should be able to handle the administration, work projects that have kept me busy are winding down, so should have more time in my hands. So don't worry about that. Good luck for the World Cup hunt!
Snyto. I think rest of the guys already gave you most of the info but here's just a recap. Just create a new team in Blood Bowl and join the "NUL: Feeder" league. If we'll have 8 teams, every teams plays against each other once (7 matches) and the best 2 teams will play a finals match. If we'll have 6 teams, we could go either with all teams playing against each other twice (10 matches) and top 2 finals, or once against each team and 4 team playoffs. We'll have agree on that if it needs to be so.
We communicate mostly through this forum, so most of the play times matches will be agreed on here. However, in some cases, like probly with Lars and you, players that know each other can agree on the match time somewhere else and just notify about the time on the forum. Just ask if there's anything you want to know.
OK, let's try to get this thing rolling sometime during next week. I'll send pms to all so that everybody gets the info.
Add-on: I've created the boards for the new season already. I'll add the match threads when we get the all the teams signed in in-game.
I'm still in, but with that TV limit I will join with FestFixarna instead.
/hakos
Ouch sorry for the tv-trouble guys.
I'll be back after the disaster at wc feeble attempt,

Greasier lightning is now created and have applied to the league. Sorry for the delay but now it should be rolling. Wish me luck, will be a change for me for sure compared to my old habits of running around doing "elven bullshit moves" as I think TotalBiscuit eloquently put it in a cast.
