Norsca Union League

First match of MD5 is played.

9000 spectators showed up to watch the humans and dwarf team battle it out on the green field.

First half the dwarfs attacked and fouled. The judge was clearly bribed. It payed off and after a slow grind the dwarfs scored in turn 8.

Second half the humans attacked and were slowed down. They even lost the ball at one occasion. Luckily the humans had found a weakness in the dwarven armor and could remove dwarf after dwarf from the field until only four remained. That made it possible for the catcher to score in turn 16.

A classic, slow grinding affair, that ended in 1-1.

Humans had 60 blocks versus the dwarf 44 blocks. 6 of these blocks resulted in a serious dwarf injury.

Thanks for the game Lazer, I really hope you can scrounge together some good journeymen and fix the armor for your next game.

Hello there.
Memo is you and me.
When can we do the dance?
Sunday after lunch or around 15 would be good i think.
How do you have it?

Here we go, MD5 is up!

Saitani, no room for playing before weekend and next week is bit hazy, but here are my OK CET times I'm certain off right now:

- Saturday any time after 14
- Sunday any time before 16
- Tuesday 18-20

Let me know if any of those suits you, sir. If not, I'll get more info about next week during weekend.

Chaos has so many faces. Some of them ugly, some of them smelly, some of them horny but none of them pretty. So how could you expect a pretty game with the smelly Chaos going against rebellious Chaos? Hopefully nobody in the audience didn't, as that they didn't get. The rebellious Chaos started on the offence, overloading other side of the field with their players. But a shallow kick on the weak side of the rebellious ones followed by a chaotic reorganization (which they called perfect) of the smelly Chaoses defence left the ball very prone. And when a chaotic instance of banana peel flying from the stands and landing in front of the rebellious Chaos ball-carrier brought done the offence, the smelly ones took their chance and ran in a TD.

Next kickoff was a repeat of the first: overloaded offence, kick landed on the weak side and perfectly chaotic reorganization left the rebellious Chaos in a pickle once again. So, chaotic bashing ensued.

Second half and the smelly Chaos was on offence but with two Bloaters KOd. Smellies tried to break through on right, but the rebellious ones got them cornered and the ball-carrier was forced to turn back. And soon the Minotaur from the rebellious ones struck, blitzing down the carrier and even picking up the ball on the bounce. All pointed to rebellious Chaos evening the score but in the final seconds of the game, the ball carrying Ogre rushed too far and fell down.

Pretty unlucky game for Gnaar-man, so many 1s on rushes and the tying TD was prevented by one of them. Nicely played Gnaarkill, sorry for the bad dice day. Better luck in the rest!

The Unalived met Giggling Gloomstalkers for a game of bowls, and it was an interesting affair. The ghoulies won the toss, chose to receive, and waltzed into the defensive line quite violently early on. While there were no permanent injuries, there were a surprising amount of KO's. The difference in players on the field meant that the deceased ones could fairly safely control an 8-turn grind into 1-0.

The Gloomstalkers attempted a one-turner with their two frenzy players, but the wheels came off, so 1-0 was the result for the half.

Start of the second half, all but one elf was back on the field, so the match was still very much on. There was a blitz event, which saw a Mummy barge into the offensive line to mix things up. This would backfire, however, as said Mummy was brought down and fouled off the pitch. Becoming more tentative for a few rounds, both teams looked for opportunities to break in. The Unalived has a particularly jumpy ghoul who lost patience after a while, and actually brought down the ball-carrying witch elf. It was all for naught, however, as an unlucky bounce sent the ball directly into the hands of another elf. Having gambled and lost, it was not hard for the elves to run away with the now disarrayed defensive line of the deadies.

The last drive saw the Unalived get the ball back with 4 turns still left in it. An accelerated grind, helped on by the single remaining Mummy getting some lucky blitzes in, opened the paths enough for a speedy ghoul to GFI in the deciding 2-1 touchdown.

Good game Memofin!

Humans vs another renegade rejects team. Humans won with 2-1 due to a lucky blitz in turn 14.

Sorry, no more reporting today, too tired.
