Morg's Meat Mashers vs. w00t w00t

3M picks up a wizard, a HMC, gives a blitzer an extra AGL, and gives w00t w00t some bad habits. They also win the coin toss and elect to kickoff.

w1: The HMC eats two rerolls, and the kickoff gives 3M another, making the rerolls for the first half 8 to 2. Then he makes his block, his pickup, his pass, and two dodges for the score.

M1: The kick lands near midfield. 3M doesn't quite finish setting up, but gets a quick snap. Two elves on the front line get stunned, and the treeman goes down. The rookie passer picks up the ball and runs it to the middle where the black orcs give some protection.

w2: A wardancer pushes the ball carrier over the midfield line toward more elves. The elven thrower falls over trying to block the ball carrier.

M2: A catcher gets knocked out. Several elves get knocked down. The rookie thrower runs forward and tosses the ball back to the temporarily-boosted blitzer, who runs it farther downfield.

w3: Two elves start the turn standing. But a wardancer is one of the two, so she leaps out of trouble, blitzes the ball carrier, and knocks him down, picking the ball up herself.

M3: A blitz against the wardancer rerolled still only nets a push, leaving her among three orcs. A black orc then double-double-downs a block, ending the turn early. To add insult, the interface for canceling the use of a wizard was sufficiently counter-intuitive (assuming you can cancel it at all) that I threw a fireball into the middle of nowhere.

w4: The wardancer dodges away from the three orcs and hands the ball to a lineman. The lineman passes to another wardancer. Another lineman knocks himself out trying to dodge.

M4: A black orc gets beside the wardancer, but only pushes her.

w5: The wardancer runs in the score.

M5: Surprisingly, two elves stay knocked out. Another quick snap moves some orcs forward. Hurler picks up the kickoff, then a black orc double-down/downs twice.

w6: A wardancer stuns herself blitzing the ball carrier.

M6: The passer moves the ball forward. An agile blitzer runs downfield.

w7: The passer gets knocked over, a roll to pick up the ball fails.

M7: Hurler fails to pick up the ball.

w8: A catcher does some leaping and dodging to pick up the ball and run it toward the end zone. The treeman kills a player, but the apoc saves him.

M8: The all-star catcher gets knocked out by a blitz.

Halftime Score: w00t w00t 2 - 0 Morg's Meat Mashers

M9: All three knocked out elves wake up. Several elves knocked down, then Upstart fails a rerolled basic dodge. Hurler runs the kickoff forward.

w9: Three elves get the ball out of Hurler's hands.

M10: A blitz sends a wardancer out of the game. The elven thrower gets knocked out.

w10: Elves surround the ball carrier and his friends.

M11: Three elves get knocked out. The orc team forms up around the passer with the ball.

w11: A lineman injures himself trying to dodge.

M12: The thrower runs the ball forward.

w12: One elf gets free and knocks out the passer with the ball. A catcher runs back, picks up the ball, and runs it back alone to midfield.

M13: A block brings down the catcher. Hurler picks up the ball and tosses it to Upstart, who runs in the score.

w14: A riot ensures elven victory. The pass-to-one-turn-catcher-touchdown finishes the job.

M15: Some blocks.

w15: Three catchers knock over the ball carrier.

M16: An attempt to dodge out of a catcher tackle zone fails with reroll.

w16: A catcher runs in a score.

Final Score: w00t w00t 4 - 1 Morg's Meat Mashers

Thoughts: *shrug* 1 injury over umpteen trillion blocks + one-turn-score-ability means there really wasn't much to be done on this one.

[ank]

E-Dawg get's the hat-trick!
w00t w00t!

[monk12]

In other news, my rookie Dark Elves suffer an ignominious defeat at the hands of THE_SLAYA's Skaven, 3-1. Highlights included a decent chainpush scoring setup for the Meanies' only score, the Skaven making some nice blocks to get a Gutter Runner a 2d Blitz to daylight to go up 2-1 at the half, and another chainpush I was happy with myself for seeing even if the pushed Blitzer still failed his dodge into the open. Lowlights include that failed dodge (which was the last best chance to get the ball back,) Tamerlane the Runner getting KOd early in the game and staying there until the final drive, where he once again made the lowlight list by Stunning himself on a crucial block while holding the ball, one Dark Elf lineman dying, another getting -MA, and the last two turns of the game were turnovers for the Dark Elves as they threw Attacker Down/Both Down on their first blocks of the turn. The kill and the CAS went to the same Skaven lineman, too; a player to watch for sure!

No levelups for me, though at least the MVP went to a Blitzer; hopefully the mercenaries I have to hire don't steal my next MVP.

The Traveling Doctors 1 - 3 Light of Judgement

Game went about as expected, but I managed to rack up a bit of SPP anyways (no levelups, but 4 on an ogre, 3 on a snot, and 5 on another snot). Also a hilarious final turn touchdown by Nurse Joey that I am going to award her a medal in my team history for; involving a 5+, 4+, 3+, and 2+ with no re-rolls as well as some lucky scattering. (All of my snots are nurses and ogres are doctors). In terms of luck elves managed to have much better luck on both the D6 and block die rolls, and on the 2D6 both teams were all over the board.

Also since the bbmanager league is just being used as a rolling stats log at this point, I went ahead and submitted the match to it (once again starting on day 21)

Spoiler: Turn-by-turn (click to show/hide)

0: Game begins on the horrible white field under a blizzard. The Traveling Doctors (D) win the coin toss against Light of Judgement (J) and elect to kick.

D-Kick: Brilliant coaching wins D an extra team re-roll. (D: 11 players - J: 11 players)

J1: The game begins by the second block BH'ing Nurse Charity. An Eleven thrower picks up the ball and the elves form a loose grouping around him.

D1: D forms a wall that extends the width of the field and throw a few blocks, but are unable to knock anyone over.

J2: A blitzer dodges through the ogre wall while a thrower earns some SPP with a short pass.

D2: Both Dr. Surgeon and Dr. Medic (who form the core of the wall in front of the ball) begin the turn by going bonehead. Dr. Doctor rushes over to fill the gap, and several Nurses follow him to help maintain the wall.

J3: 4 elves gang up on Nurse Rose, opening a 1-wide path down the edge of the field for their ball-carrying catcher, who runs through the opening. Meanwhile Nurse Selina gets KO'd by a lineman

D3: Dr. Surgeon comes to his senses to knock over a lineman, while Dr. Medic remembers enough to drop Nurse Linda (who falls over right back where she was). Nurses Suzie, Joey, and Felice team up to knock over the ball catcher, and the ball lands right on the edge of the field.

J4: The catcher stands up and fails to pick up the ball, causing a turnover and sending the ball sailing back into the middle of the field where it lands next to Dr. Medic (and some elves).

D4: Dr. Doctor pushes a thrower off the edge of the field, but he is unharmed by the crowd. Dr. Dentist decides to try out acupuncture and sends one of the elven linemen off the field with a pinched nerve. Nurse Linda attempts to grab the ball but fails, causing a turnover. Dr. Medic manages to pick it up as it bounces past, however.

J5: 4 elves team up to stun Dr. Medic, causing him to drop the ball. A blitzer picks it up and hands it off to a nearby lineman, who attempts to throw it to another for a TD who drops the catch between three of the elven linemen.

D5: Dr. Doctor throws Nurse Suzie who lands on top of one of the linemen, knocking him over. Sadly Suzie doesn't land near as well, and is taken off the field BH. Dr. Dentist KO's a blitzer. 4 of the Nurses gang-foul the knocked over lineman, but are unable to even stun him.

J6: 4 of the elves gang up on Dr. Surgeon to knock him over. The two remaining lineman pull a tag team play which nets J their first touchdown.

J-Kick: The KO'd elf and one of the Nurses stand back up. Cheering fans win D another re-roll, despite the fact that they couldn't spend it if they wanted. (D: 9 - J: 10)

D6: The Doctors all throw blocks but can't manage to do more then push the elves around. Nurse Rose picks up the ball and forms the weakest cage in existence with the other four Nurses.

J7: Two of the elves take down Nurse Amber and begin to work their way into the cage when one of the linemen throws a both down on Dr. Medic, ending the turn.

D7: Now laying on the ground, Dr. Medic decides the snowflakes falling on his face are very pretty. Dr. Surgeon saves Nurse Rose from the encroaching blitzer by KO'ing him, and the cage advances slightly.

J8: The Elves throw some blocks at the Nurses, but are unable to knock anyone over.

D8: Nurse Felice leads a 5-man foul against one of the linemen, but is unable to do anymore then stun him.

Half-time: The KO'd Nurse and blitzer both regain their feet.
The Traveling Doctors 0 - 1 Light of Judgement

J-Kick: Quick snap allows D to slightly shift their players towards the ball. The ball lands on the LoS, 2 spaces in from the side. (D: 10 - J: 10)

D9: On the first block Dr. Dentist rolls an attacker down and both down, then re-rolls the exact same thing. He manages to stun a lineman, but his turnover practically hands the elves the ball.

J9: The elves do some fancy passes and handoffs to move the ball from the LoS back to their deep thrower. A blitzer, catcher, and lineman run around the LoS Doctors and begin to beat up the Nurses.

D10: Dr. Dentist, Dr. Medic, and Dr. Doctor advance on the deep thrower while Dr. Surgeon goes back to help the threatened Nurses, knocking over a blitzer. Nurse Felice follows up with a foul with the help of one of the other Nurses, and manages to KO the fallen blitzer.

J10: The elves show off by running their deep thrower around the Doctors and passing to their far forward lineman. Nurse Linda attempts to stop the lineman's advance, but is KO'd as he blitzes her. The other elves also dodge around the Doctors, forming a screen between them and the ball lineman.

D11: Four of the Nurses gang up to take down and then foul a catcher, but are unable to do anything more then stun him. Meanwhile Dr. Surgeon manages to drop Nurse Felice, who luckily lands on her feet. Nurse Rose attempts and succeeds a triple dodge move towards the ball lineman, but fails on the go-for-it at the end.

J11: The ball lineman moves the last few squares, earning J their second touchdown.

J-Kick: The KO'd blitzer stands back up again. Brilliant coaching wins D another much needed re-roll. The ball ends up just behind the Dr. Doctor and Dr. Dentist, both on the LoS. (D: 9 - J: 10)

D12: Dr. Dentist manages to KO one of the LoS linemen, while Dr. Surgeon forgets what he was about to do. Nurse Amber picks up the ball and attempts to hand it to Dr. Doctor, but fails; causing it to land between him and the nearby lineman.

J12: Four of the elves team up to stun Dr. Medic, allowing two of the assisters to pick up the ball and toss it over his prone body. The lineman hands it to a catcher, who runs past the confused Dr. Surgeon out into the open.

D13: Stirred by this, Dr. Surgeon remembers to go chase down the catcher and manages to push him, trapping him between the edge of the field and himself. A few of the Nurses gang up on a lineman, but throw a both down, stunning both the lineman and Nurse Felice.

J13: The ball catcher and three other elves team up to knock over Dr. Surgeon, freeing the catcher who runs in the elves' third TD.

J-Kick: Nurse Linda manages to snap out of her KO, unlike the lineman. Brilliant coaching wins both teams another re-roll. The ball ends up bouncing off the field, and is given to Dr. Doctor. (D: 10 - J: 9)

D14: Both Dr. Surgeon and Dr. Medic decide to discuss psychology with each other rather then hitting the linemen in front of them. Dr. Dentist attempts to pull a tooth from one of the blitzers, but ends up grabbing too low, breaking the blitzer's ribs and excluding him from the next game.

J14: Angry about his teammates failed operation, the other blitzer takes out his rage by killing Nurse Felice while the Doctors are still deep in their discussion. With 4 of the other elves he joins forces to take down Dr. Doctor, who manages to both knock down the attacking lineman and hand the ball to Nurse Joey before falling over.

D15: Dr. Doctor stands back up and KO's one of the linemen who attacked him. Dr. Surgeon ends his discussion with Dr. Medic and KO's the blitzer who killed Nurse Felice, while Dr. Medic pushes another lineman away from Nurse Joey.

J15: One of the catchers loops around the Doctors and knocks over Nurse Rose, followed by threatening Nurse Joey along with another lineman. The remaining elves set up a deeper perimeter to hopefully stop any TD attempts.

D16: Three of the Doctors try to get Joey free, but Dr. Dentist has questions about the plan and yells "WHO DO I BLITZ AGAIN?" instead of moving. Muttering one last prayer to the blizzard gods, Dr. Doctor picks up Nurse Joey and bodily hurls her into the air, at which point the blizzard winds catch her and scatter her forwards and sideways, landing her right in the small opening in the elven defenses. Sure of her aid in the blizzard gods, Nurse Joey runs forwards and manages to keep her feet on the treacherous ice at the last moment, scoring the only TD for D.

D-Kick: Two elves regain their feet. A quick snap is called, and the elves advance around the ogre blockade on the LoS. (D: 9 - J:

J16: The elves showcase some of their ability to run on ice and passing skills, and manage to get the ball within two squares of another TD before the game ends.

Final Score:
The Traveling Doctors 1 - 3 Light of Judgement

Rookie League: Unstoppable Immovables vs. The Traveling Doctors

The docs win the coin toss and elect to receive.

D1: Lots of ogre blocks leave only a single Saurus down. A snotling tries to pick up a ball, but fails, sending the ball into the hands of a neighboring snotling.

U1: A couple of skinks start to penetrate. Three ogres get knocked down.

D2: Two orgres are bone headed on the ground. A third is bone-headed standing up. Three snotlings gang up on a skink, but only manage to push.

U2: A saurus blitzes a snotling, and manages three dice that will knock him down, and two dice that will knock him down on the reroll. He elects not to fall down, and takes the push. A skink takes out the first snotling. A line of lizards forms around the snotling "cage".

D3: A saurus back at midfield gets knocked down. The snotling "cage" moves sideways.

U3: A blitzing saurus pushes a snotling, and the lizardmen surround the "cage" again.

D4: An ogre knocks out a saurus. Another one boneheads. The snotling with the ball moves a bit forward. An ogre falls over knocking down a Saurus.

U4: A skink takes out another snotling. Two more snotlings go down.

D5: A double down block on a skink rerolled gives another bad double down result, stunning a skink.

U5: The ball carrier gets surrounded. A skink knocks him down, then tries to pick up the ball, which bounces into the hands of the one snotling left standing.

D6: The snotling dodges away, and tries a pass, which goes into the stands. They send the ball straight back out to the middle of the Doc side of the field.

U6: A saurus knocks out the snotling beside the ball. A skink fails to pick up the ball.

D7: Two ogres bonehead again. A snotling and ogre get beside the ball. Another snotling tries a block on a skink, knocking himself over and injuring himself.

U7: A skink injures another snotling. A skink manages to pick up the loose ball.

D8: An ogre boneheads again. In case you haven't been keeping track, this is a stupid rate of boneheadedness. Another ogre tries to throw a snotling, but he just falls back down in place. A snotling blitzes the skink with the ball, and falls over in the process.

U8: The skink runs in the score.

Halftime Score: Unstoppable Immovables 1 - 0 The Traveling Doctors

U9: Four ogres and two snotlings start the half for the Docs (since four are injured and one snotling decides to stay knocked out... I think we all know the truth, there). The kickoff is a touchback, saving the skinks the trouble of having to pick up the ball. The deep skink hands the ball to a front line skink, who runs it forward and fails the roll on his second GFI, falling over near the goal line.

D9: More back blocking rolls sends an ogre down as part of knocking over the Krox.

U10: Another skink runs deep. Blocks along the front line knock out a snotling.

D10: The last snotling on the pitch injures himself dodging.

U11: A skink fails to pick up the ball.

D11: A down ogre boneheads. An up ogre boneheads. A third ogre stuns a saurus.

U12: A saurus knocks himself over knocking over an ogre.

D12: An ogre boneheads on the ground. The krox gets his hand smashed.

U13: The skinks continue to fail to be able to pick up a ball.

D13: A skink gets injured.

U14: A skink manages to pick up the ball and score.

D14: One snotling bravely wakes up, bringing the head count to five. With two injured and one knocked out, the Lizardmen have eight. As one might expect, at this stage, an ogre boneheads. Another one falls over trying to make a block.

U15: A skink fails to pick up the ball.

D15: An ogre boneheads. The snotling manages to pick up the ball.

U16: A couple of blocks.

D16: The snotling knocks himself out dodging.

Final Score: Unstoppable Immovables 2 - 0 The Traveling Doctors

Thoughts: I can't really take any credit for this match... all praise goes to Nuffle. With four ogres, you should get zero boneheads 48% of the time... i2amroy had to deal with a rate way, way higher than this. Plus crap blocks for most of the game.

[i2amroy]

Unluckiest... game... EVER!

To start with I would like to introduce you to Mr. Block dice chart. He was the worst today.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Next up is the D6 chart. Notice the large number of 1's (I only rolled 4 less ones then ndkid rolled total D6's). 5 managed to clear the bar, but just by a hair.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Lastly is the 2D6. This one wasn't as bad, but I would like to note the inordinate amount of 3's, as well as the total lack of 11's and 12's (I don't think I've ever even seen one of these charts at zero before).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Small note, but the turn 16 snotling fell due to an incredibly unlucky attempted throw, not a dodge.

[Kanil]

Aw yeah, I remain ahead of the ogres in our surely epic battle to finish not-last for at least another week!

[ndkid]

Morg's Meat Mashers vs. My Mummie's Mummies
(Therefore, O for Orc and K for Khermi, in this one.)
The Khermi have 650k to play with, which they use on a star mummy, a wizard, and a reroll. The Orcs win the coin toss and elect to kick.

K1: The orcs get a blitz. A lineman goes running deep into Khermi territory, fails his first GFI, fails reroll, fails armor roll, and hurts himself, ending the blitz. A black orc gets stunned. Another gets knocked down. A blitzer on the edge gets knocked out. Then a thro-ra falls over trying to blitz, leaving the ball unloved in the corner of the pitch.

O1: A dauntless frenzying orc fails his dauntless, but knocks over the mummy on the second try anyhow. A blitzer heads toward the deep thro-ra.

K2: Two black orcs and the deep blitzer get knocked down; the thro-ra fails to pick up the ball.

O2: Two mummies and a skeleton go down. The deep blitzer stands up, dodges, but falls over on the GFI.

K3: A lineman is pushed off the pitch to no ill effect. A black orc is KOed. The thro-ra picks up the ball and runs it forward.

O3: A blitz knocks the thro-ra over. A skeleton and the star mummy go down as well. The dauntless frenzied orc fails to be dauntless again, and goes down as a result.

K4: A blitzer and lineman get knocked over. The thro-ra stands and picks back up the ball.

O4: Orc stand up.

K5: Two black orcs get stunned. An orc gets knocked down.

O5: An orc runs back for deep defense.

K6: Six orcs down, one orc standing.

O6: The standing orc gets beside the thro-ra. The rest mostly stand up.

K7: The standing orc gets knocked back down. The thro-ra runs beside the goal line.

O7: The orcs stay down.

K8: The thro-ra runs the ball in.

O8: One orc wakes up, meaning only ten orcs on the pitch. A mummy gets knocked out, which isn't a bad result, all things considered.

Halftime Score: My Mummie's Mummies 1 - 0 Morg's Meat Mashers

O9: The mummy wakes up, and so does an orc, meaning the sides both have eleven. The orcs go strong side left. The dauntless orc stuns a mummy. The rookie passer picks up the ball and runs it forward. Other mummies go down.

K9: A mummy gets beside the ball carrier. A black orc gets knocked over.

O10: The goblin runs deep, and the rookie thrower gets him the ball. The dauntless orc knocks over the star mummy, and gets taken down as part of the deal.

K10: Four orcs knocked down, and the goblin taken out by the wizard. (Sorry for the lack of detail, I was making dinner when it wasn't my turn this game.)

O11: A skeleton gets knocked out. Hurler runs down and picks up the ball.

K11: Orcs get lucky, and only a bunch of pushes. A throw-ra stuns himself throwing a 1-die block.

O12: With blitzer help, Hurler gets the ball farther downfield. A few undead go down.

K12: A blitz-ra stuns Hurler. A black orc gets his skull fractured.

O13: The blitz-ra by the ball gets stunned. Several orcs move downfield toward the ball.

K13: Several orcs get knocked down.

O14: The rookie thrower picks up the ball and tosses it to Hurler in the end zone.

K14: The knocked out thro-ra and skeleton stay out, making it nine orcs versus ten undead. The undead line up in "we don't need to win, we need to bash" formation. But the second block ends in a double-double skull.

O15: Two mummies go down, and a third gets an actual injury that he fails to regenerate from. Hurler runs downfield and picks up the ball with a blitzer beside him.

K15: Hurler gets knocked down, sending the ball into the blitzer's hands.

O16: The blitzer dodges away and sprints into the end zone.

K16: Three black orcs go up front to face the music.

Final Score: Morg's Meat Mashers 2 - 1 My Mummie's Mummies

Thoughts: I fully expected this one to end in the 1-1 tie. THE_SLAYA (reasonably) decided to not trust his thro-ras to actually pick up the ball, so he started with the blocks, and hit the dreaded double-double skull early. He hadn't protected the flanks, the kick had drifted toward Hurler to start with... a blitzer getting the dodge to get beside Hurler, then the ball bouncing into his hands... it was really the double double skull plus the scatter that got me that win, and very little else.

[ndkid]

And, due to the fun of BB scheduling, I have to try and fend off Khermi a SECOND WEEK IN A ROW next week. In the words of a mummy... *uuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhh*

[ndkid]

Unluckiest... game... EVER!

To start with I would like to introduce you to Mr. Block dice chart. He was the worst today.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm impressed by how average my blocking was that game. I think most of the bad results must have been paired with good results, because I don't feel like I was getting that many pushes (well, except of snotlings, but that's different).

[i2amroy]

The Other Kittens 1 - 1 Monk's Marauders

Game landed in the Kittens favor until Monk managed to score a turn 15 TD. Lots of injuries, which gave me some nice level up's for next weeks retry (Though Borak kept getting the casualties )

In terms of luck I'd say we were about equal on that game. I was luckier then Monk was on both the D6 and slightly on the 2D6, but he came out on top in the block dice. The graphs were actually remarkably level overall (and were still much better then my last game ).

Turn-By-Turn

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Start: The Other Kittens start the game with Lord Borak as a star player, a wizard, an igor, and blow the last 20 on checking to see if some random player on the Marauders was using drugs (despite knowing he wasn't). The Kittens win the toss and elect to kick.

K-Kickoff: Quick Snap! The Marauders all get to move one square. The ball lands off-field, and is passed to Tonkai. players: (K 11 - 11 M)

M1: The Marauders throw some blocks and knock over a rotter. Both catchers run around the edges of the field to get behind the Kitten line. Tonkai advances to the LoS in the middle of the human players.

K1: Lord Borak badly hurts the ogre on the first block, already proving his worth. The BoN then takes advantage of the gap, and places itself next to Tonkai along with two pests.

M2: One of the blitzers Badly Hurt/Damaged Back's one of the block rotters. Tonkai faces dodges the tentacles but fails the dodge itself, forcing a re-roll and getting away. A stunned pest opens the way for Tonkai to break free.

K2: A pest places itself next to Tonkai. Lord Borak and one of the NW's begin to edge around the wall in an attempt to cut him off.

M3: The blocking pest gets knocked down and Tonkai places himself in scoring range. Three of the humans group up to foul a +STR NW, but can't break his armor.

K3: A NW, Lord Borak, and a pest place themselves directly in front of Tonkai in an attempt to stop him. The BoN goes to rescue the fouled NW.

M4: Tonkai attempts to blitz down the NW but fails, he then succeeds a triple 2+ dodge-streak that lands him one square from the goal, but doesn't do the go-for-it to score. A catcher attempts to leave the BoN, but is stopped by the tentacles.

K4: A NW blocks Lord Borak free, who blitzes down Tonkai, stopping the TD.

M5: Two of the developed pests get taken down with serious injuries, but both manage to regenerate them away. Zara gets KO'd by a blitzer, and Tonkai stands up, fails to dodge away from Lord Borak, and KO's himself.

K5: A bunch of blocks are thrown but nobody is seriously hurt. Lord Borak picks up the ball and begins to traverse down the field.

M6: The humans begin to converge on Lord Borak in an attempt to recover the ball and score.

K6: The BoN moves towards Lord Borak in an attempt to help.

M7: Lord Borak and a nearby pest are both pushed to the edge of the field. The ball is stripped from Borak, but lands safely in the hands of the pushed pestigor. A blitzer attempts to blitz the pest, but is stopped by tentacles. One of the other blitzers attempts to push Lord Borak off the field, but knocks himself over instead.

K7: Lord Borak badly hurts a blitzer while the BoN BH's another. Both Lord Borak and the ball-carrying pest move away from the edge of the field, but at this point it is impossible for the pest to score before halftime.

M8: The strip ball catcher blitzes the pest, but rolls an attacker down and BH's himself, ending the turn early.

K8: Lord Borak, two pests, and a NW gang up to KO a blitzer.

Halftime: Zara stands back up again, but both Tonkai and the Blitzer say KO'd.

M-Kick: Quick Snap! The +AGI pest moves one square and catches the ball. The other players move a bit but don't really do much. (K 11 - 7 M)

K9: A bunch of blocks are thrown. The ball-carrying pest advances down to the LoS.

M9: The remaining blitzer blitzes his way through a pest and lands next to the ball pest is. The rest of the humans stand back up, and a thrower ends the turn by failing a dodge and stunning himself.

K10: The knocked over pest stands back up and breaks the jaw of the blitzer, taking him out of the next match. The ball pest continues down the field.

M10: A catcher dodges free and places himself in the ball pest's road. One of the lineman attacks a blocks a pest and knocks himself down, but smashes his hand in the process, taking him out of the next match.

K12: Zara and the ball pest combine forces to free the ball pest, who advances into scoring range. Meanwhile the BoN smashes the ankle of a lineman.

M12: The catcher stands up and blitzes the ball pest, but just pushes him to the edge of the field. A thrower performs a double go-for-it to also advance on the ball pest.

K13: Another pest blitzes free the ball pest, who scores the first TD.

K-Kickoff: Tonkai and the blitzer both regain their feet. The weather remains nice, and the ball bounces around in the back corner. (K 11 - 6 M)

M13: A catcher and blitzer break through the Kitten line and go deep. Tonkai picks up the ball.

K14: Both LoS linemen are stunned. 2 pests and a NW converge on Tonkai, while two rotters and two pests each get the deep catcher and blitzer respectively.

M14: Tonkai attempts a long pass to the deep catcher, but it is intercepted by the brand-new pest (giving him enough SPP to level up on his first match).

K15: The BoN, a NW, and 2 pests converge on Tonkai, trapping him. The ball pest blitzes free and attempts to go-for-it to get in scoring range, but trips.

M15: The deep blitzer picks up the ball and passes to the deep catcher while the 5 AGI rotter fails the interception. The deep catcher dodges to a TD, saving Tonkai from the incoming 8-man, dirty player foul and tying the game.

M-Kickoff: A high kick lands in the square next to the very farthest square. The +AGI pest catches it, but there isn't enough time for anyone to make it to the goal. (K 11 - 6 M)

K16: The +AGI pest earns a bit of SPP passing to the +2AGI rotter. Lord Borak leads a 7-man, foul player foul on the thrower, but only stuns him.

M16: A blitzer blitzes a random rotter, but he is unharmed.

All-in-all I think I came out on top in this match, earning a nice bunch of SPP and getting a few miss-next-game injuries (which should help me next week ). Also this is the first time I've had a star-player actually turn out to be worth the gold, with Lord Borak accomplishing much (despite him taking 4 SPP with him). No permanent injuries, except for one block-rotter who picked up a niggling back (though I did have some close calls).

Edit: Woot! Two doubles, giving me another pestigor with dodge and making my BoN now have both of his doubles skills in Pro and Block (I'll have to be fairly active with him now ).

In retrospect, really should have tried the GFI to score on M4. I didn't at the time because I'd already exhausted my RR for the turn, but it would have saved Tonkai KOing himself later, which had a huge effect on the flow of the game. I already hired another Lineman for the next game, since 2 Linemen are MNG as well as Grant Valdred the ST4 Blitzer. And now that damn BoN has Block, too...

In rookie league news, Monk's Meanies vs Light of Judgement ends in a 2-2 draw. The game saw plenty of SPP, unreliable mercenaries, elfball shenanigans, and white uniforms. Unfortunately for the Meanies, a mercenary caught MVP instead of any other player. On the plus side, one of the Blitzers leveled up, and I can afford an Apothecary! Hopefully THE_SLAYA doesn't kill any more of my d00ds in our rematch next week.
