All righty, Mr B, time to test the new game with some lizzies against the darkies action. I'm assuming 21 CET is the shit as is the normal. That time would work for me on following days this week:
- Friday
- Saturday

Let me know if either of those suits you, sir. Word of warning: I've offered the same times to Gnaarkill for the S22 matchup, so if he's a go for either of these, I'll prioritize the S22 over this test league.

Monday is a no-go, it's the regular board-gaming night. Gnaarkill snatched up the Tuesday, so the earliest possible is day Wednesday the 2nd next week. Can't tell any further with any kind of certainty but Friday the 4th might be free.

Barmution!

Let us see if my orks can manage anything against your rats.

How does your weekend look?

I can play:

Sat 27/2: Either an early game that is finished 15:00 at the latest, or a late game from around 18:00.
Sun 28/2: Early game that most finish before 16:00.
Mon 29/2: Not sure, but maybe 19:00->

So, anything that works?

I stupidly forgot to screen-grab the actual results screen, but the match has been validated by us both (I love that system btw), and it resulted in a rather silly 3-0 win for the Bretonnians.

It was a game of silly dice.

EDIT: This is how silly it was: http://tinyurl.com/jrkq45g (thanks to Mr. B for digging out that site)

Yes quite nice stats.
I have to upload my own game to understand it all.
And of course I take no credit for the site.
Just happy we can use it.

Post by: Mr B on February 26, 2016, 09:43:56 PM
I must admit I do not really see the stats so very clear.

Some dice of mine are actually the opp and the other way around.
Trying to grip the % and No.. I do not get it. :-[

Well, it's definitely "information overload", and it'd be nice to have some kind of summary like BBM, even though you could dispute the accuracy/relevancy of that summary...

But additionally, there appears to be some bugs there. I don't think it's BB2's fault though, I think it's bugs in the parser by Ones and Skulls. The XMLs from BB2 really dump a looot of info. Going through some of this stuff myself atm.

Alright, that's great.
And I still get more and more confirmation that this dice generator is fucked up.
Just played Human vs H-Elf.. second game for both, 3 blitzer vs 2 blitzer as I had one mng..
I have a ogre but he caused two ko's without needing the MB.

So, I score the first and Final goal in my turn 16.. and we are in total.. 11 players on the field.
I do not think I have ever seen so many cas, ko's & stuns as I now see.
So two av8 team more or less, and 5 each removed from the field in the dying moments of the game... totally insane.

Well, forgive my skepticism, but I have a hard time thinking they've made serious errors with their random number generation. Blood Bowl has always been full of insane results, and well, truly random dice do make for insane results and not 'average' ones a lot of the time. That's kind of what makes BB so fun, as well as so potentially frustrating. I think this goes back to before there was a computer game version, with people thinking the actual dice were somehow cursed or weighted.

Either way, if there are bugs with dice-rolling, it will become apparent on long-time stats, as these things should mathematically even out after a season or three with all rolls collected. I'm not holding my breath, though. And we do get the actual rolls in the xml.

Cool. I'm total aware of dices and it's randomness so no finger's pointing anywhere but last and first two human games vs orc and h-elf ended with 11 casualties.
That is abit to much for my stomach. Of course it could happened which is why I'd like to be able to see them all in a good way as total numbers vs total dices rolled.

Cheers!

Rutten Gunners narrowly squeak out a 2-1 win again, this time vs the Pink Orcs of Equi who managed to scramble for an equalizer after going down 1-0 in their own drive. Gutter Runner agility and a slight oversight on the Orc coach's side was the only thing that kept the Orcs from holding the draw and coach Barmution let out a sigh of relief as the final TD was run in.

Thanks for the match Equi, became more of a thriller than I really wanted :P

B-man, don't know if you are occupied or there is some glitch with the game, your status shows offline. I have to bail out now. Game would almost certainly go over midnight my time if we started now and I'll have to get up at 6.

Let me know your next free dates and times and I'll see if there's anything suitable.

Yep, first half seemed normal enough, although some signs of Mr. B being unfavored by the random number generator we call Nuffle showed up when he didn't manage to get a skink down even though rolling three dice against the bugger three times in a row. Lizzies were forced to score early due to good defensive pressure from B and then the darkies equalized at the end of the first. Second half started with Nuffle hitting on B's dice hard and continued throughout the half while I only remember failing one dodge in second half. Fumbled pick up opened up the chance for lizzies to pressure the ball and score the go-ahead. Still more than enough time for elfs to score but blitz shows up on the second kick-off and tables get turned.
Sorry again for the game, Mr. B, better luck in the rest.
