Equi! Assuming the MD gets forwarded in time (last match has been played), when are you able to roll? The weekend would be stellar for me, almost any time Saturday or Sunday (well not too early Saturday because Friday).

Well, I think both Saturday and Sunday works for me but I work daytime, so around 19:00 both days will be best!

So, what do you prefer?

Sorry for the delay in answering and forwarding match day, got grandma in hospital (nothing extremely serious but very stressful) and serious pre-holiday work stress going on. Match day has been forwarded now.

Hakos, dear sir, nothing is open at the moment, so I'll have to let you know about suitable times later. I'll post something on Sunday evening, Wednesday and Thursday next week should work.

I know I said sunday, but something has come up tomorrow and the gaming today was cancelled, so a match tonight would be perfect for me!

I will check in here every 15 minutes so if you see this before it is tooo late just shout and I will be ready!

Otherwise I must push the game forward to next week. I think every evening is free mon-fri, so just name the day and time!

Ok, so the match between the rats and the deads are in the books!

An even affair 1-1. A tight match that could have gone in favour for both of the teams but nuffle decided that no one did deserve the win and a tie it was :)
Both teams played a solid game! ;D

Well, wow.

The injuries tell the story here. I won the toss, chose to receive, and KO'd two of Equi's line zombies on my first two blocks. It continued to slide downhill from there. I basically had full control of the pitch when I scored in round 4, but I got cocky, and did not stall.

To Equilibri's great credit, he came back in the game and made this intensely thrilling. I spent the rest of the first half, and indeed the entire second half, frantically defending my end zone. It got hairy now and then, and with some extra wind from Nuffle, there would have been at least an equalizer. I definitely had Nuffle on my side this game.

But yeah, thanks for an exciting match, even though the beginning of it must have been excruciating!

Last match of the season is played and I have to disappoint kvasilad. He will not make it into the final.

The match was a true nailbiter for the orcs due to the Knights cunning, brave and unexpected manevours. The Knights were outnumbered the whole match but fought as gallantly as ever and brought glory to the order of the Nisayers. The minstrels will make songs about them.

(http://www.bb2replayer.com/report.php?renderType=PNG&theme=Default&reportType=Match&reportId=e4afe5ebd86cacef2f1d9e3b718f31f9)

Knights started on the offence. Stopped them for two turns but then the Knights made the cunning move of not using wrestle versus a black orc. So instead of a both down in the first block in the turn, as I expected, it became a turnover. Defense was not ready and a breakthrough was made. Knights scored in turn 4. 0-1

Ok, four turns to score. Went hard for the left flank but still kept some black orcs on the right flank to tie up his forces. There was but one small hole in my defense. And by some nice Dodges he slipped through that hole and the ball was loose. Just two turns left and the ball was still in my side. Desperate times requires desperate actions. Made 5 blocks to clear the way for my thrower who could pick up the ball and immediately throw to a blitzer who then ran as fast as possible towards the goal. The Knights still managed to tie him up with several Dodges and go for it's. But one push later the score came in turn 8. 1-1

Second half started good since two of his players decided not to join the battle. Among them his star blitzer (guard and Mighty blow). This time I Went for the right flank and managed to get halfway into his field after 3 turns. Along the way I knocked out about one guy per turn so he was down to 7 players real quickly while I still had a full force. It looked quite bright for the orcs.

However, now some quite incredible turns happened for the knights. He dodged like an elf, ran like a master gutter runner and battled like, well, a true Knight. Every turn. I had 2 vs 1 advantage or 4 st vs 3 strength advantage everywhere. Despite that he got the ball loose several times. I had to pick up the ball with a blitzer in my half, with just two turns to go, and failed.

But in the end the luck turned once again. In turn 17 a blitzer managed to pick up the ball, ran, made a handover to Another blitzer who also ran as much as he could. And finally, in turn 18, after a light touch of his final marker, the blitzer could walk safely into the touchdown zone. 2-1.

Hakos, Gnaarkill, I've sent invitation to the the Finals league. Didn't remember it but the new game doesn't seem to have have a league that has regular season + playoffs. So I had to create separate league for the Finals match.

Hmm, you mean a new competition right? I've been playing around with this a bit now.

You have only one type of League, it has no other settings than "New teams only" and "Ageing".

Within that League, you can create any number of competitions. These are either "Ladder", "Round-Robin" or "Knockout".

So as of now, we have a League called "NUL Championship". Within that league, we have exactly one Round-Robin competition as of now called "NUL Season 24". So from what I understand, the right thing to do is create a new competition of type "Knockout" called "NUL Playoffs 24" or something within the already existing NUL Championship League.

Creating a new league doesn't really do anything useful, from what I can see.

Nice to be in the final. I certainly did not expect that after my loss, draw, draw opening this season.

Gnaarkill: I have the week mostly free except some evening activities on tuesday and thursday. Any time that would suit you?

J-Reedy: Should I accept the final invitation or will you look into Kvasilad's suggestion?

Hey m8!

My first final in my career as a coach and also a first place in the league.
This is truly amazing! ;D

It will be an honor to play against you Hakos. So if I remember correct our last match ended with a 0-0 draw right? :)
Let's see who will truly be the winner then! :D

Unfortunatly thursday is probably the only opening I have this week :/
I will be on vacation next week though so anytime then will be good :)

And also, as Hakos is asking. Do we accept the invitation to the final or do the other thingie? =)

Congratulations to both of you for making the finals!

Has anyone done any spectating in Blood Bowl 2 yet? Does it work, and if so, how? I think it would be cool to watch the finals live if I'm around.

So as of now, we have a League called "NUL Championship". Within that league, we have exactly one Round-Robin competition as of now called "NUL Season 24". So from what I understand, the right thing to do is create a new competition of type "Knockout" called "NUL Playoffs 24" or something within the already existing NUL Championship League.

Creating a new league doesn't really do anything useful, from what I can see.

That's just what I did, I guess I just used league when I meant competition. The new competition (S24 Finals if I recall correctly) that you both should have invitation to is a two team knockout. So just accept the invitation and all should be good to go.

Cool!

I'm excited for the finals, but also for this being the first time BB2Replayer will see the same teams/players over multiple competitions. I expect newly discovered bugs on the horizon :P

Great, I have used the ticket now and registered to the knock-out tournament of two teams and one round...

@Gnaarkill: Thursday should work. I'm probably busy in the evening but daytime from about 10/11 to 16/17 should work as starting time. Perhaps we could aim to start at around 15?

I have not tried it yet but the option seems to be there. Main Menu --> Cabal TV --> Search for match (and one of the options for searching is "live/replay".

Ah, I see.
I forgot. In my mind everybody is working, since I am. But in reality this is probably vacation times xD
So I have no possibility to play during daytime. My opening today is from 20.00 - 22.00
Let's just aim for next week, maybe?
How about monday, starting early, 11-12.00?

Hmm, that sounds really obfuscated indeed. Is the competition set to "Invite only" or "Validation by admin"? Not sure how either works, exactly, but the other alternative may be easier.

Oh, and good luck to both of you!

Aaaand the final is played !

It took 24 turns to Crown a Winner. First time Gurkha Legion and Black Metal All Stars met it ended 0-0. This time it was 1-1 after full time so it is certainly two even teams/coaches. TV difference was only 30k.

But a Winner is mandatory in the final and in the end Gurkha Legion won by scoring 2-1 in turn 24.

(http://www.bb2replayer.com/report.php?renderType=PNG&theme=Default&reportType=Match&reportId=a08839b7c27c52075607c8f29ab85f14)

Metal dudes won the coin toss and started on the offence but were quite surprised (as was I) when they found out the match time was set to 2 min. After some discussion we decided to continue and play this speedy final anyway. Which means, if you want to watch the final to see some good, well thought through, moves, forget it. But if you want to watch a final that is intense, quick, has several stress related mistakes but also very forgiving Dices that allowed some nice moves anyway. Go ahead.

So, despite some mishaps in the beginning Metal dudes made a break though in turn 3 and scored soon after. I did have some time to even the score but did not manage to break through. However, I did manage to injure one player and KO 3 more and that was probably a key to the victory. From turn 9 to turn 24 Gnaarkill was forced to play with less than 11 players.

Second half, I started and made a nice break in to his half. However, he shut me off nicely and even managed to grab the ball some turns later. However, I could get it back. He was outnumbered but managed to get the ball yet Another time. Perhaps I was a bit too Confident, but he sure did some nice moves that I had not expected. But, I had the number advantage and could Always find some free players to both get the ball free again and pick-it up. The equalizer score finally happened in turn 16.

Black metal got the ball in their turn 16 and I fully expected them to keep it in the overtime. However, it seems BB2 have different overtime rules than BB1. Instead of him keeping the ball, it was a coin toss, which I won. Another key moment.

Turn 17-24: Orc's were on the offence once again. Got into his half but he stopped me so good that I had to retreat back to my half. But he still catched me and got the ball free, in my half. But once again, he did not have enough players to tie me up completely and I could get the ball back again. This time I formed a true Cage and advanced slowly forward. In turn 22 it was quite clear that the orcs would score but it was not until the very last turn that they reached the touch down zone.

Dices were good for both of us, probably a bit better for me though. Gnaarkill played an excellent game and I really had to fight to win this one. GG Gnaarkill, see you next season.

A big horray and congratz to Hakos!

Sooo... About season 25... :D
Title: Re: S24 - Match Day 7
Post by: hakos on January 08, 2017, 07:50:14 PM
Thanks.

Time to start up a thread for season 25?

Until it has arrived...

What about postponing the "middle team" season to season 26 and have another "beginner team" season instead in season 25?

We do not have that many teams to select from within BB2 so as it is today everyone would probably use their current team. Or have to play a beginner team. If we have another beginner season everyone would get a choice and the middle season could be more interesting.

But perhaps more importantly. Having a new beginner season would make it easier to convince some new players to join NUL. And it feels like we need some new blood here, or perhaps a return of some old timers.

/hakos

edit: P.S: Consider this an answer to J-Reedy's proposal of a "farmer" League. Which I think aimed at solving the same thing but I did not fully understand how that would work. And I currently do not know in which thread I can find it to read again.

I'm fine with any rules for season 25, but I like hakos' idea. I have no problem with creating another new team, even though I rather grew to like my undeads in the end. And also, I already have another beginner team from "season 0", which I insist should be eligible for a "middle season" whenever that may be :D

First, I want to thank the Champ, Hakos for a great final.
It was such an intense and fun game, thank you! ;D
Probably the most even and fair match ive had for quite some time ^^

Second, A big CONGRATULATIONS to you, Hakos!

Third, I like the idea of a new newbie season. Even though I also really like my undeads i feel like i want to try out the game a little bit more and have some option of selecting a team for the "middle" season =)
So my vote is for "newbie" season :D
