Season 32 is on!
Almost all of the teams from season 31 are returning for this one, except for the mysterious disappearance of Dis Thing of Ours. Will we ever find out what happened to them?
Anyway, let's get this show on the road!
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/1c58556ja2gwolj/md1.png?dl=1)
These are the contestants:
Ball, Bounce and Beyond - Barmution
Butcher's Bay Pirates - Gnaarkill
Khemri Astronauts - NapoleonBlown-apart
My little Hashut - Saitani
Nimble Feets - Hakos
Punk Rock Rotters - Lars
Radio Rangers - Kvasilad
Too Stup...born to Die - J-Reedy
All right you punks, let's dance!
I can start these times the coming week:
Monday: 2030+
Tuesday: 18+
Wednesday: 20+
I'll come back with more times if none of those work. Friday might work.
mmm, loving the smell of a new season, and so does Locking Lenny, our new recruit.
Seems the dancing elves will face off versus the strong and thin bodies of the khemri astronauts.
Not certain about my times but sunday afternoon will probably work. Next week monday, tuesday and thursday evenings (starting 18:30-20:30) are an option, but one of those days will soon disappear. Do not know which evening yet.
Oh, and the by the way, seems we are changing to wintertime this evening...
/hakos
Yo J-R, my friend from the east! ;D
Let's do a small Finnkampen, shall we? :D
My OK starting times are:
Monday: 21 - 22
Tuesday: 20 - 22 (Preferable)
Wednesday: 21 - 22
Thursday: 20 - 22 (Preferable)
Friday: No go
Saturday: 21 - late
Sunday: Early start from 10 - 12 something... (Preferable)

Hello, Hakos.
Tuesday and Thursday at 19:00 would both work. So we can do whichever one is free and most convenient for you.

This is starting to be a tradition, Gnaarkill my mate. Second time in a row that we start the season against each other! This won't be true Finkampen though, as I didn't hire a stup...born Finnish player into my team. I was thinking about recruiting mr. Rokka, but decided to go against that decision as I wasn't sure if anyone would recognize him. So, unfortunately for me, lucky for you, you will get to play against a team without a surefire star achiever.
I think Tuesday should at 20.00 should be OK. I do have a metting of my bostadsrättsförening at 18.00 but it should be done by then, but I'll mention that just in case I'm a little late.
So see you on Tuesday!
Cool J-R! Didn't realize that :D
That's actually a really good idea... next team will be all swedes for me then, haha! Hope you will match that so we can have a proper Finnkampen at some point ;D
Lets just settle with a traditional season opener this time, see you tomorrow mate! :)

Ok, let's try for tuesday 19:00 and keep thursday in reserve in case my plans change (could still happen).

THE LEGENDS OF BLOOD BOWL, ISSUE NUL32:1
Time for another season of "The Legends" to entertain, confuse and perhaps, just perhaps, tell some true stories. Just to make the first day as exciting as possible, all matches have been setup according to team value. So anything can happen. We also see some interesting repeat matches from last season that are sure to bring some extra motivation for the teams. One repeat we will not see is Dis Thing of Ours but instead we see another team rising from the dark caves, Too stup...born to Die.
Match 1 – Too Stup...born to Die vs Butchers's Bay Pirates (Goblin)
TV 970 vs TV 1060. Here we have two teams that have never won a match, yet. We welcome Too Stup... to die again, in NUL season 32. Normally the pirate use all tricks they can muster, including inducements, without that we predict they will be confused and our newcomers might have a chance.
Match 2 – Khemri Astronauts (Khemri) vs Nimble Feets (Wood Elves)
TV 1290 vs TV 1370. Maximum agility versus minimum agility. High strength and 2*MB versus AV7. It is clear which team will do what. Or is it? It seems the elves have decided on a new tactic this season by hiring a new dancer, Locking Lenny. But he will be quite busy trying to keep those 4 strength 5 guys away from the elves. Will the elves dance in circles around their opponents or will they drop dead to the ground? Tune in via the brand new crystal ball interface to find out in real time.
Match 3 – Radio Rangers (Lizardmen) vs Punk Rock Rotters (Nurgle)
TV 1380 vs TV1380. Perfect TV equalness. The Rangers came in third place last season with only one loss. Unfortunately for them that loss came versus the rotters and it is easy to understand why. Normally most teams have a weakness either against the strength or the speed of the lizards. But the punks can match their strength and with both tentacles and diving tackle those skinks have a high probability to get stuck. Will Radio Rangers tune in to the Punk frequency or will they be fast enough to achieve the Doppler effect?
Match 4 – My Little Hashut (Chaos Dwarfs) vs Ball, Bounce and Beyond (Kislev)
TV 1460 vs TV 1440. In our final match we have the winner from last season, who only lost 1 match of 8 in total. However, that lost match was against My Little Hashut. Will history repeat itself? Let's compare some statistics. BBB 2 blocks + 2 wrestle vs Hashut 8 block + 1 wrestle. BBB 2 guard versus Hashut 3 guards. BBB with 3 dodge vs Hashut 6 tackle. So it seems likely but BBB has the leaping possibility to change it all.
Nuffle was definitely on my side, this game. Hakos had a good start, but then there a lot of failed 2+ rolls for him, and elves started getting injured. Heqet the Westerner was especially violent, causing 4 casualties.

Another match in the books.
Stupid Undeads vs Stupid Trolls and suicidal goblins.

The match was a mess for the gobbos from the start and it only got worse. Without that TV difference it's a tough job for the Pirates though J-R did a great job grinding that ball down to the endzone thrice! Big up and a well played match from our own Beast from the East, J-R! ;D

Gobbos with nothing to lose sounds even worse than gobbos with close to nothing to lose ;D
Sadly you'll have to contend yourself with what's left of my team after the Chorfs are done with them.

Heh... guess so, but in reality it is probably more something like this ;)

Think I met a couple of Italians like that during the weekend. Don't get me wrong tho, I fancy the odds for winning. It's just that gobbos have the means to go for the nuts and murderize you in creative ways while losing :P
Yikes!
I did not realize I had that big a dice advantage until I saw the numbers. Not a word of complaint from Lars either, so I guess I just didn't pay enough attention.
Anyway, the game wasn't quite as lopsided as the end result implies. The first drive was pretty much textbook, hard to stop Lizards when they receive and field a full squad of skinks. The second drive gave me a very opportune blitz event, which really decided much of the game. I went all-in for the ball, and after some scuffling and some very good dice for me, a lone skink came away with the pigskin and ran it in.
In the 2nd half, the attack got stuffed, again by some very fortunate blocks for me (should've gotten the memo by that point), and the ball was knocked free. Didn't really think I could score, but a lucky block against my side-steppin' ball carrier actually got him just within scoring range. And miraculously, none of the two GFI's as he crossed into the end zone failed.
To top off what must've been a horribly frustrating game for Lars, he blocked a skink with his beast in garbage time, and chose both down. The skink was fine, but the beast caught an MNG in the dying moments of a settled game. That's some seriously symbolic insult-to-injury adding right there.
So yeah, thanks for the game, and for being an impressively good sport (I would've been whining if I had been on the other side of those dice). Better luck in the future!

are there any plans for the final match? /hakos

Pretty sure anybody who watches this travesty will disagree on the chorfs being the extra unlucky ones here but match was an utter shitshow for both parties without doubt.
Well, that's gotta be close to a record for sum of shitty luck for both teams, at least.
I guess move rolls often are more important per dice than block/armor/injury/casualty. Maybe there should be some weighting there, but I'm not sure by how much. Maybe I should figure out strongest correlation to wins by luck category :D
Anyway, match day forwarded.
Barmution had SHIT leap dice like he failed like 6+ 2+ leaps he did manage to stop the t8 td for me with a 2 die uphill blitz in a cage. and alamost managed to get the ball to the other side but then came the ones.
LEts just say that this game would have really changed if he managed to catch the ball on the blitz he got then the game would have been completely onesided. it also helped that i fouled away his krox on t1 with my dirty playaer hobo.

Poor armor and injury dice don't cause turnovers and neither does non-knockover block dice. That makes a huge difference as to the impact on the match. You can theoretically win even if you roll only pushes and both downs but only 1s and 2s on agility rolls will ruin most teams' games. Not saying that you should do any weighing tbh, as with all statistics the interpretation is key and I think people here know how to read the luck values.
