We have now passed the one week mark.
How is the missing matches looking?

[Kanil]

Burnt Pies vs Jartol is scheduled.
Charmander and I have scheduled as well.

I am not sure the status of i2amroy vs ExKirby.

Edit: Also, DST has happened in Europe, keep that in mind when scheduling your next cross-Atlantic game!

[smakemupagus]

Hi all, I'll be away this week, but should be available next week-end if the Week 2 games are happening by then.

[Kanil]

They will be. If I don't hear from ExKirby or i2amroy, their game will be set to a draw. But you should have plenty of time still to play your W2 game when you get back.

[i2amroy]

They will be. If I don't hear from ExKirby or i2amroy, their game will be set to a draw. But you should have plenty of time still to play your W2 game when you get back.

Right now Our game should either happen tomorrow or Wednesday, hopefully tomorrow. I had forgotten that the weekend was Easter and messed up my ability to play, so I scheduled at the wrong time originally.

[Kanil]

Awesome, thanks. The other two remaining games are also scheduled for tomorrow, so we should be able to advance then or Wednesday.

[i2amroy]

The Blood Roses vs. The Other Kittens ends in a solid 0-2 match for the Kittens! Both were rookie teams, so neither got any inducements. The Blood Roses win the toss and elect to receive the kick, and the kickoff role comes up 10, granting the Kittens a free extra blitz turn.

Spoiler: Turn breakdown (click to show/hide)

K0: Advancing forwards, the Kittens end with a blitz that knocks down one of the two elven catchers before the ball even hits the ground.

R1: The elves pick up the ball and push a few off the Nergals around. The catcher stands back up.

K1: The catcher goes back down, this time badly injured, and is dragged off the field. A elven lineman is KO'd on the opposite end of the field.

R2: The elves get back up and throw an accurate pass, only to have the double disturbing presence foil the catch.

K2: The Kitten's pick up the ball and start to form a cage. A few of them gang up and kill on of the elven linemen, netting a free rotter at the end of the game.

R3: The elven wardancers both attempt to move in on the ball carrier, but are both stopped by Mr. Snuggles's hentai tentacles.

K3: Another elven lineman is KO'd and then pushed off the edge of the field.

R4: The treeman knocks down the BoN. The second elven catcher is KO'd attempting to dodge away.

K4: The BoN is confused by the fact that he is on the ground, and loner's away the reroll to stand up. The rotter with the ball moves towards the end zone.

R5: A wardancer dodges through four different tackle zones and manages to take down the ball carrier. The ref calls out the treeman for fouling the BoN, leaving the Blood Roses with 2 wardancers, 2 throwers, and a lineman against the entire Nurgle team.

K5: One of the throwers is KO'd, taking the Roses down to 4 players on the field, 3 of which are knocked down. Another rotter picks up the ball.

R6: Everyone stands up and the ball carrier is knocked over by the one already upright wardancer.

K6: The wardancer is pushed off the field, but doesn't take any lasting damage, leaving it as 3 ( 1 lineman, 1 thrower, 1 wardancer) vs 11. The BoN stands up, and then a nurgle warrior fails a block.

R7: The wardancer attempts a blitz, but is stopped by hentai again.

K7: A rotter picks up the ball and approaches the end zone. The last lineman is knocked down and badly injured, leaving only 2 Roses on the field, both of whom are knocked down.

R8: One of the Roses stands up and attempts a last ditch 7 zone dodge to blitz the ball carrier... it doesn't work.

K8: Touchdown for the Kittens! Score is 1-0 and the half ends.

Halftime: 3 of the KO'd elves stand up, letting the Roses field 6 players (2 linemen, 2 wardancers, 1 catcher and 1 thrower). The Kittens each get a free move from the kickoff, and use it to begin to surround the enemy team.

K9: A both down ends this turn quickly. The rotter is knocked down, but one of the two elven linemen is KO'd.

R9: Another fast turnover when a wardancer rolls an attacker down against an opposing rotter.

K10: Both wardancers are knocked down and the other elves are surrounded. The prestigor moves towards the ball.

R10: The thrower attempts a blitz on the prestigor, but fails to dodge away from his guards.

K11: The prestigor picks up the ball and begins to move. All but one of the Roses is knocked down and the last catcher is KO'd by a foul.

R11: The last upright elf attempts a many zone dodging blitz on the prestigor, but doesn't even make it past the first one.

K12: The Prestigor moves towards the end zone. All the elves are already knocked down, so the Kittens perform a useless foul and walk around a bit.

R12: A wardancer stands up and attempts a blitz but is stopped by hentai. The catcher stands up and performs a 4-zone dodge to reach the prestigor, but is unable to attack. The second wardancer stands up but is immediately knocked down by a failed dodge.

K13: The last lineman is KO'd by a foul from the BoN. The catcher dodges a block, but ends up trapped against the edge.

R13: One of the wardancers stands up and managed to knock down the prestigor. The catcher dodges the first blow in an attempt to go for the ball, but is KO'd by the second one. Only the two wardancers remain on the field.

K14: One of the wardancers is knocked down and stunned. The other one is KO'd by a foul. The prestigor picks up the ball.

R14: The one wardancer left on the field flips over and the turn automatically ends.

K15: The wardancer miraculously survives a 5 man foul, but is stunned again. The prestigor approaches the end zone.

R15: The wardancer flips over and the turn automatically ends.

K16: The wardancer survives another 5 man foul, only being stunned again. The prestigor scores a second goal, bringing the score to 0-2.

R16: 5 KO'd elves are back in the game, but since it's the last turn it doesn't matter. An elven thrower picks up the ball and throws a random inaccurate pass over the Nurgle wall, but it has no effect.

Thoughts: The entire game pretty much consisted of the Nurgle team slowly eliminating the elven players one by one from the field or the game, starting with that surprise casualty on turn 2 and only ending when the last wardancer survived two 5 man fouls (which bummed me out, I wanted to see what happened if only 1 team was left on the field ).

I also submitted my game to the BB manager league, so here are some stats.

[monk12]

Phew, six men to start the second half. That's just brutal.

On the plus side, looks like we'll be on to Week 2 soon! Huzzah!

[Kanil]

[ank]

Game crashed in the beginning of the first half, we need a reset please.

[Kanil]

There was no result recorded, so there's nothing to reset... odd, but I'm not sure what to do about that.

[ank]

I guess we just play again then

[monk12]

Naturan Demanto defeats Monk's Marauders 2-1, in a game they should have won 2-0. Nearly 1 million GP in inducements provided the services of a Star Player, a HMC, Bad Habits, various potions and a load of bribes, only one of which stuck- Eomund Tonkai. Eomund Tonkai the AG5 Thrower who decided not only to reduce his MA by 1, but also to flub a consecutive pair of easy passes and then trip on a blitz to allow the Undead to score in the first half, while inflicting enough casualties to leave the Humans with only 8 players to start the second half, leading to another grind down the field. Seeing the murderous glare of the Ogre, Tonkai then allayed the suspicions of the stupid creature by throwing a long pass into blinding sun to score a TD after the game was already out of reach. He caught MVP for the match, too- in failure and success, he was the most prolific player on the pitch.

Not to take anything away from Jartol's game- all those CAS didn't inflict themselves! I think it worked out to 6 players BH, two of them MNG, and a smattering of KOs to keep things lively. 3 of those CAS were inflicted by the Star Player mummy, enough SPP for a level if things worked that way. For the Marauder's part, Manfred the Friendly showed his appreciation for the mummy hugs by killing a rookie zombie, moving him into a tie for first on the Active Killers list.

Final Score: Glistening Dementia 2 - 1 Kobb's Khorne

Thoughts: The last good while with Kobb's Khorne has felt like two steps forward, three steps back. My front line is now the weak point, and I suspect I'll be having to play the team like they're elves for a bit and hope to regain enough experience to field a solid front again.

You mean the way I play elves (BLITZ ALL THE THINGS) or the way you should play elves?
