Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
I have to admit, while I enjoyed the challenge of such a good coach behind a team that at least matches mine in stubborn, refuse-to-leave-the-pitch players, I'm very disappointed with how I played.
Your touchdown felt like amateur hour on my part. I simply didn't expect your Beastman to make the Dodge into a Blitz, freeing up the guy who went on to score. I could certainly have done more to inconvenience your Thrower too, rather than just looking at him funny and hoping for AG3 to do it's not-AG4 thing. That's what I get for type-casting Nurgle as the slow team, despite their Beastmen and AG3 Rotters....
Not to mention kicking myself when the second half began - I was so intent on keeping your Beast occupied with a tough roadblock, I moved a crucial Guard-Blocker in front of him and replaced him with my Runner, thus leaving a crucial weakness on the LoS that meant you still had 2 dice blocks on everyone, instead of 1 dice or 2-dice against.
Had I done that properly, it might have changed the whole outcome of the half instead of giving you a bunch of free targets to beat on....
Oh, well. As the saying goes, "I'll get you next time, Gadget!" Thanks for the game.~ CAUTION: May Contain Weasels ~

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
Pair of matches played:
Main League:
Boneheads 1-1 Barovia World Tour: The definition of a hard fought draw, Vampires won the toss and kicked, got a blitz and judicious use of hypnotic gaze gave them an easy turn 2 touchdown. The boneheads recovered and ran in a turn 8 equalizer.
Second half descended into a violent brawl in the center of the pitch. The vampires, after being abstemious for the first half, were ravenous in the second which slowed them down and allowed the undead to get stuck in. A Ghoul managed to get the ball and make a last minute run for the touchline to give the undead the win but was brought down by Count S von Z
Rookie League:
Okami ye Faithful 2-0 Wymblidon Warpstoners.
The undead won the toss and decided to kick, things looked promising for the underworld at first and their cage made it most of the way down the pitch before getting bogged down and the poor goblin ball carrier getting stamped on by a flesh golem. A Ghoul picked up the ball and made a break for it and then had a free run as the mercenary goblin fell over GFI'd to provide an assist giving the undead a 1-0 lead at half time.
Second half was quite grim for the Warpstoners as they were down 4 players which soon became 6. There was a brief glimmer of hope when a goblin took down the wight ball carrier with a 2-dAgainst block and recovered the ball but he was soon taken down and the undead made it 2-0.
Any chance for a consolation touch down was dashed when the troll, after concentrating admirably all game, decided to stare off into space instead of throwing his team mate.
Thanks for the games both of you.Managing the Wymbildon Warpstoners in Gitp Rookie League - Mutations for EVERYONE!

Thufir, I'm not sure where you disappeared to after your game with Wraith (or why you didn't reply to my messages), but I can't wait around any longer for you tonight.

...
We agreed to play in the evening. I went afk for a bit after the match, but in any case I didn't have enough time to play another match before going out for my final performance of Pirates (which was earlier than the weekday ones) - that being why we agreed to play in the evening."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
Euphonic Cadence 4 : Spartak's Blud Bowl Klub 1
Nuffle took an instant dislike to me from turn 1, from my troll failing a 2+ Really Stupid roll, to the riot that gave me a turn less to beat up his players (not that it mattered as in standard form for this season, the orcs suffered the only injuries of the match), to the goblin bombardier star player mis-throwing his bomb, injuring himself and stunning a Black Orc while he was at it,
After that it was simple elfbowl, from one dice blocks going Thufir's way, to my two dice blocks failing to achieve anything, and a thrown rock adding to the orc misery.
Only two pieces of luck went the orcs' way - a KO'd elf went off and stayed off the whole game and a pitch invasion that knocked over only elves (although it was rather pointless on turn 14 and 4:1 down). However a chance to score another orc touchdown went pearshaped as I discovered Throw Teammate counts as a throw, so the troll and gobbo with the ball sat in the middle of a bunch of stunned elves looking rather sheepish until the elves stood up next turn and only a lucky ball scatter to a stood up elf stopped the scoreline being 5:1.
I'm finding elves to be incredibly frustrating to play against. I've read all the guides I can find, but I need (and want) to practice more - is the only option to play hotseat against myself?

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
I've been thinking of looking more closely at High Elves lately, I might drop them into the Open League soon. You're welcome to take a crack at them, when I do.
I have reasonably new-ish Wood Elves in Auld World also - if you don't mind rolling up a new team or signing one up in there for a while, I'm happy to play with them too.~ CAUTION: May Contain Weasels ~

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
Yeah. Not a problem. If im free im all yours.
EDIT
Oh and super speedy rate of match play continues...Team Hippy 2 - 0 Imperial Space Corps
The first half was a mess. After finally recovering the ball from Luzahn's cage; I attempt to pass to a catcher to run it out of reach only to be intercepted and the whole mess to start back up again!
Both big guys scored casualties late on in the second half but nothing permanent stuck on either side.Last edited by Qwaz; 2015-06-21 at 12:59 AM.

Ruinous Rampagers 1 - 3 Bloody-Handed Angels. A string of bad rolls in the first half (repeated double skulls and failed Sure Hands/rerolled pickups) let the Angels pick up a 2-0 lead, and so the Rampagers were well and truly elfed. The only consolation was that in the second half the lads pulled their collective finger out and started steadily sending elves to the hospital/morgue, with a little assistance from the crowd.
Thanks for the game, Tasroth.

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
Yeah, it was a bloody affair. First half felt fine, one of my players Badly Hurting himself by failing a dodge (it happens, move on), and Elrael (technically Elrael Mk. 2, purchased for this game after the original died last season) getting killed (not even worth the apothecary that early).
Then the second half. Or more accurately, the last 3 turns. The final drive began with a thrown rock at Taraniel. My apothecary proved himself useless again, so I left it at dead (-ST might as well be dead). This was immediately followed by a -ST on Kalriel (again, Mk. 2). So another player who needs to be fired (which I have done, and he got the MVP for his first SPPs dang it). This was followed by 2 MNG results before the match ended.
So yeah, I had a 14 player roster (granted with 2 players missing that game). Now I have an 11 player roster with 2 players missing the next game, and exactly 10k too little to replace my departed blitzer. And I have Euphonic Cadence next. Things just got... interesting.Last edited by Tasroth; 2015-06-21 at 05:25 PM.

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
The Stabbery vs Spartak's Blood Bowl Klub about to go, the number Luzahn did on my team leaves us with equal tv and 1 mercenary Elf...
3-1
The match could be adequately summarised as "The Stabbery have 2 AG 5 Witch Elves" with the footnote that Cyanide forced Brother Oni to use a goblin on every drive, despite having subs availableLast edited by Devmaar; 2015-06-21 at 06:56 PM.

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
Which didn't matter at all, with the appalling dice and the interface which refused to let me substitute my goblin off the pitch for every set up.
Stabbery 3: SBK 1
With the absolutely insane dodging the elves did (triple dodges in a row, -2, -1, 0), tackle zones were pretty much pointless, letting a witch elf get hold of the gobbo (which should have been a linesorc) which forced an equally silly push->throw->hand off chain for a touchdown.
The final drive was 7-11 in favour of the orcs and still the elves managed to get through and score. If anybody watched that match, any advice for me, aside from uninstalling the game?
The goblin very nearly came in useful, if he had hit the witch elf either time he got thrown.
Edit: Huh. Throw Team Mate apparently can't cause turnovers unless the throwee has the ball and doesn't land properly. That would have been useful to know - I could have thrown him at the cage earlier and blitzed the witch elf if he nailed a corner. You learn something new every day.
Edit 2: Forgot to report on Wraith's Ex-Men vs The 8 Handed Slayers in the Open League. 1:0 to the Ex-Men (should have been at least 3) and well, yeah. Rookie no skill Khorne vs Amazons went as well as you'd expect.Last edited by Brother Oni; 2015-06-21 at 07:45 PM.

I won't beat about the bush; Steam says that he hasn't been online for about a week now, and I want to make sure that I am acting appropriately if his absence continues. By the rules that I've laid down so far, him missing the game without in some way confirming that he has technical difficulties would constitute a forfeit: 2-0 in my favour.
I am, I hope understandably, feeling awkward about being the League Commissioner and at the same time potentially ruling games in my own favour - especially since I ruled his last game as a 0-0 draw, due to having not been contacted by either coach.
It might not happen. He might pop back in tomorrow, throw down the gauntlet and proceed to feed my Witch Elf directly to my own Blitzers with fries and a tasteful tray of coffee and chocolates for afters in horrendous display of curbstompetry. But if not, I would like to hear the opinions of my fellow "Rookies" to make sure that no one feels I am taking unfair advantage of the situation.Last edited by Wraith; 2015-06-21 at 07:21 PM.

Since all previous ones have been ruled as 0-0 draws, I'd prefer this one follow the same rule. I made multiple attempts to try to get ahold of him, and was unable to, and it was set as a 0-0.

Re: Blood Bowl ITP III: Where You Either Win or Blame Nuffle... Sometimes Both
We've always done the 2-0 thing in the past - it makes sense to me that if one player doesn't attempt to make contact, they should forfeit the game.
