Post by: Mr B on September 17, 2021, 11:18:43 AM
So Lars.
How are you doing?
Advice during the game to come
1 do not put a chainsaw in my mouth
2 do not thrower a goblin in my mouth
3 do not ever enter my mouth with the ball&chain.

My handsome Norsemen do not like that it will interact with the beer drinking after the game.
But I will be happy to withdraw some teeth from the Trolls so your goblins will be less likely to be eaten.

But when dude?
Next Thursday?
21 is the shit

Ooh.. ok.
Dirty players is not more dirty than Mightblow or.. making a block.
But yes it's a common thing to judge it in the Dire moment.
Sad to hear it.

i was pissedd after foul nr 6 on my best player. and even when the rest of the team had rann away to the corner giving up the match. and even comenting that excessive fouling was not nessasary as the match was his anyways. and he replied wel i have to use dirty player when i have it on a player.

Iv had enough of such bullshit.

Hmm yes lets let the ag5 leap, strip baller sidesteap and block piece run around when he could easily be used to do a oneturner on t16 in conjuntion with your m9 nos piece and accurate thrower. Everytime i have played vs you or polly it has been bad dice that or bad dice that. Not a singel time have i heard you say i played that turn wrong or i did things in the wrong order. Maybe its time for some selfreflection when it comes to player activation and positioning for example this game you did 3 dodges (3+3+2+) on the sideline with a no dodge ag4 piece costing you a rr, when you could have gotten to the same spot with a  3+2+ with several extra squares to go and mind you this was before standing up and moving other pieces. And after that you decide to just do a pass play and score anyway making that whole chain completely unescesery.

Fouling is a double edged sword it both win and loses me games. I make 1 lineman on most of my teams a dedicated fouler thats  ussually 60-70k tv  that even with a sucessfull foul has a 1/3 chance to get ejected and not comming back leaving me 1 piece down most likely with the opponent having a ko piece that comes back the drive.
And to do a proper foul i need to have 2-3 assists even with dp leaving me out positioned. When the opertunity presents itself to foul a key piece i will take that with the risks that follow. if i was real jerk i would foul everyturn without any consideration to positioning and situation or play a team where i take mbclaw as my first skill no matter what.

Losing pieces sucks hell i had two of my best pieces die the 2 previous games. Not to mention how many leveled blitzers,catchers and throwers including a 100spp catcher on my high elf run, hell i had games where i had 4-5 loners and i still managed to get into the play offs all 3 seasons.  Do i have games where i get salty and whine alittle sure i do, but i stick the games out and recover later in the season. Im far from a exellent coach myself i do mistakes and missplays score to fast or to slow doing that extra greedblock that can ruin my whole plan when i dont need to.
Anyways GG hope you find something else that suits you better.

Post by: Mr B on September 19, 2021, 07:42:59 PM
Alright guys.
Burry the axe or foot.
It is a game.
We win and lose and a some games ago the team meant nothing as it was not even started.
Players comes and goes.
Coaches remains.
So take this advice be nice and play nice.
Playing nicely is hard as blocks kills but so do dodge.
We all try to win and protect what team we have built.
If you are winning clearly focus on protecting the team that matters.
If your are starting to lose.. do the same.
Think ahead.
If it is tight and goes either way value your actions and re-actions.
Killers and game breakers can get hit extra if your actions goes wrong.
If its not worth it.. remove what is dear yourself from target practice.
It's simple as that  ;D

Everyone gets attached to their teams and players, and it is definitely emotionally hard to lose players to death and injury. I know I've had a few black moods during/after some matches. After suffering through a rough match, it can be beneficial to sleep on it rather than vent in the forums, especially when your post has no real argument within it, just pure saltiness.

Fouling is a legit part of the game, with the possible exception of when there is no theoretical gain to be had. Even then it is allowed, though generally considered bad sportsmanship. From what I can tell, Saitani seems to be well within his rights here to use his dirty player.

Sorry, didn't catch this on the weekend as I was busy enjoying the last day of my vacation. But the coming Thursday at 18.00 would work very fine for me. As a backup Friday at 19.00 or later also works. Let me know if the Thursday time still suits you, sir.

How are you doing?
Advice during the game to come
1 do not put a chainsaw in my mouth
2 do not thrower a goblin in my mouth
3 do not ever enter my mouth with the ball&chain.

My handsome Norsemen do not like that it will interact with the beer drinking after the game.
But I will be happy to withdraw some teeth from the Trolls so your goblins will be less likely to be eaten.

But when dude?
Next Thursday?
21 is the shit

On Thursday all slots are taken.  Have to fit some braces to an orc and remove some (wisdom) tooth from a troll.

Have some slots open for some basic examination on Wednesday 19-late or Sunday from 20 other wise next week are more open Monday and Saturday will be a no-go thou.

Flower Smell vs Rotten Smell

Beauty vs Ugliness

Dodgy vs Bashy

It could only end in one way.

Amazons are outbashed, stomped at, stunned, badly hurt and even killed (until some flower with strange Powers brought the amazonian back to the living again).

But the rotten, smelly ones are slow and they think more on how to hurt than to protect, the ball carrier that is.

First half, ball is stolen in turn 2 and carefully carried around half the field until the 1-0 score comes in turn 6.

The second attack is stopped but with great losses. Three players removed in two turns.

Second half starts with 8 woman versus 11, hmm shall we say "somethings"?

Ball is kept safe for a while until a small opening is seen on the left flank. But it is stopped, the ball is loose and guarded by two horned ones. The AG4 blitzer manages to get it back though. And when the same blitzer survives two blocks, still standing up with the ball, a 2-0 victory goal can be scored with only three turns left.

------------

Thanks for the game Gnaarkil. A pleasure as Always. /hakos

Ok so really had to check the luck stat indicator thrice here, really felt the other way around.
Even more impressed with Hakos coaching now!

Hakos did a great job grinding that football down the field, thinning the amazon ranks but staying cool and smart, outwitting the Nurgle 0-2.

Yes, unfortunately :/

That's one concession from Polly and one from Vorcha now. At the moment it seems like Polly has gone suddenly AWOL, and Vorcha has announced that he quit... so I guess we're two players down.

Nice, friendly game where the Kislev failed at their simple acrobatics which forced them to do harder acrobatics that worked. Meanwhile, the large Lizardmen lounged lazily around and kept bashing at the definately not frogmen but ordinary men with vigor, thinning their ranks at a steady pace. At the end it was six Kislev folk trying to stop the onslaught of ten scalies. Couldn't be done as the little Lizardmen kept dodging into places where no living creature normally can dodge and thus the Lizardmen scored the go-ahead on the final turn.

Good game from WiGdoor, I felt pressured all the time and when my dodges kept failing early on, I got myself into too many tight spots. Lost the ball while driving for goal on a 1-1 situation when WiGdoor cleverly dodged his stunties into a position to chain-block my ball-carrier into crowd. Ball bounced to a Saurus and game felt loss. But a sole line-Kislev managed to blitz-leap in middle of army of Lizard and take down the ball-Saurus. Got the ball up, but couldn't fight the numbers, even though leaping gave me two goes at the ball, but without rerolls all I got was pushbacks.

Thanks again for the game, WiGdoor, well played!
