Ah... do you smell that? It's the smell of 8 new minty-fresh teams!
Granted, some of them may smell a bit like they've been opened after their "best before" date, but it's a season of blank slates, new opportunities and empty coffins... erh, coffers.
Good luck to everyone, let the games begin!

First match of the season 34 was a close one orks took their mary time in first half and scored in the 8th round. Rats followed up with a fast goal in second half and then managed to get a blitz on second kickoff that resulted in yet another goal. Then the orks managed some passing's and handovers to score a equalizer in last round.
great played Hakos and may we meet again

"I have a cunning plan. We will win this match easily. Just you wait and see." -Brain
1st half passes, team is down 0-1 after the normal slow grinding orc cage...
"Yes, indeed, all is going according to the plan, just you wait and see." -Brain
Rats pick up the ball and fails the pass, orcs can mark all players and the ball...
"Now, now it is" -Brain
Reepicheep gallantly rushes to the rescue, the orc blitzer guarding the ball goes down. Mickey Mouse trips a black orc that goes down. The gutter runners spring into action. One pick up the ball, passes to another that runs out of reach and waits for one turn before scoring.
"This is so perfect, now, time for the trap" -Brain
Blitz! All gutter runners swarm the oppositon half and thrower. The rest just engages as many orcs as possible. The orcs desperately tries to get hold of the ball but can only mark it with two players. Bianca just swoops in, pick's it up and score.
"Like a well oiled machinery, now we just need to stop the slow orcs a few turns. Piece of cake." -Brain
Orcs start to behave like elfs, they handover the ball twice and throws a long pass, finally they score in turn 16. 2-2.
"Noooo, how could it happen?" -Brain
"Hey, Brain, see what I got, I am the Most Valuable Player in this match" - Pinky
The End

:) think the brain needs some updates on "long pass" vs "short pass" since it actuly was a short pass that was thrown.
anyway good write-up

I have a feeling I'm not the one that's gonna win that bash fest :P
Anyhoo, I'm on vacation atm, and I _may_ be able to play tomorrow (Thursday) at 20:00, but I'm not 100% sure how stable the connection is. I think it should probably be fine, but there are some brief interruptions now and again due to the local setup here, which should in theory be something that BB2 net code can handle reconnecting. So we can try that? If not, I think it's Monday 20:30 at the earliest for me.
Woo! Finally a new season! ;D
Sooo napoleon, when would a match suit you?
Since I am on vacation at the moment I can start on odd times. If you have any prefered times please post your suggestions and I will adapt :)

All right, sounds good :)
May be completely fine, but the wifi sometimes drops out for like 20 seconds, then comes back, I actually think BB2 can handle that. If we were playing BB1, it would've been doomed for sure :P

How about some time after 16 on Saturday? We can look for each other in Discord chat then for a more precise time as I'm quite busy with my week old infant atm (please be prepared for some pausing during the playing), if that sounds ok by you?
Cheers,

Gobo Fraggle: "Look, there's our chance! All we have to do is get up there."
Red Fraggle: "Oh, terrific. Do we do that before or after we flap our arms and fly to the moon?"
Mokey Fraggle: "Now, wait a minute. There must be a way to get in."
Boober Fraggle: "I'd rather flap my arms and fly to the moon."
Gobo Fraggle: "I know! I know the way!"
Wembley Fraggle: "What's the way, Gobo?"
Gobo Fraggle: "Peach and garlic pie."
Wembley Fraggle: "Peach and garlic pie!"

Ok, so after a rough start for Fraggle Block where Junior Gorg got badly hurt already in turn 2, things started turning around for the Ogres. And once it had turned around, it promptly accelerated into one of the most lopsided Nufflings of NUL history. After a good few rolls at the end of the first half, a veritable relay team of fraggles managed to pick up the ball and carry it a few paces before being knocked down and leaving it for the next fraggle up. In the end, Wembley Fraggle actually managed some heroic dodging for the end zone, and put Fraggle Block up 1-0!
2nd half, the lil' Fraggles became all but invincible. Carelessly left in tackle zones, heroically side-stepping around, refusing to go down, laughing in the face of danger! ... or at least, skittering frantically around. In the end, there was little the lumbering skellingtons could do to beat away the swarm, and the ball was knocked loose by a meaty hit from Ma Gorg. The second half expired without any further touchdowns.
Thanks for the match Saitani, and sorry about the dice! You seem to be a magnet for these extreme nufflings.
At least, I'm over the moon for having won one, I half expexted to go through the entire season with 0 points. Can't expect this extreme luck to last, but I'll enjoy my good fortune while it lasts :)

Hello, Gnaarkill. If you didn't see my message on Discord, Sunday at 20:00 would work well for me.

The dwarf bards (yes, there are dwarf bards, though techically they are considered banned weaponry due to ear-drum shattering noice that they produce) tour started with a smash hit show with Kojo and Enresen warming up the audience and Engångi Stockholm gathering most of the fan favor.
This was more one-sided Nuffling than the stats make it appear. It was 1s all around for the Vamps, and they really don't like it. On top of that, one vamp got killed right at the end, so it's a tough start for the vitamin-lackers. Sorry again for the nightmare match, Barmution, better luck in the rest.

Not a problem, thanks for the match! Hopefully the remaining duo of vamps have learned not to roll ones or flub their regen :D

The dice definitely decided this match. Gnaarkill played well and scored a good touchdown in the first half, KOing one skink and injuring another in the process, but, thanks to some very good dice, I was able to score an equaliser, and my saurus started to hit a lot harder, KOing two orcs who refused to wake up until the last two turns of the match. This continued into the second half, with another two orcs KOed, and two injured. Being outnumbered like this, there wasn't much Gnaarkill could do against the skinks, and a second touchdown was scored.
Thanks for the match, Gnaarkill, and I hope you have better luck in the next one.
Match day forwarded!
