Woo! This is going much better than I anticipated! No fatalities yet on our team, and my toon actually managed to score SPPs?

Now that I've said it, I fully expect to die next match... :thumbsup:

Teh Raep™ probably won't come for a few matches yet. So far, my no-block policy hasn't meant much, since my opponents haven't got it either. Once we meet some orcs or dwarves with mighty blow, we're going to be hurting.

Awesome! :thumbsup:

Random question though: IS this game good enough to deserve it to be bought instead of renting? I mean, is it hard to play or something? Also, bump.

That depends entirely on wether you've played Blood Bowl as a board game. If you've never played the game before, it's ok for renting. The AI isn't *too* horrible for a new player. The UI is quite annoying, but it's not an unplayable mess. The dice roll log in the lower left is kind of crap, and I really wish there were post-match report on the individual players exploits.

If you have played blood bowl before, you'll be annoyed by the rules omissions, the AI will seem incredibly stupid, and you'd be better off going to fumbbl.com and grabbing their free client to play against real people with. As an added bonus, fumbbl has all the LRB races implemented, as opposed to Cyanide who only have a third.

Bump for the next page!

Update is incoming. Goats revisited.

Also, we have 90K gold for the finals after the next match. It's not enough for a reroll (100k), but it IS enough for either an Assassin (90k) or an apotechary (50K). The finals will be a rematch vs. the Hippyfag elves. Should we get an assassin for stabbing their wardancers, prepare for Fail with an apotechary or save up for a desperately needed reroll?

Game 4: The return of Goatse

Semifinals in the newbies cup. The goats are back. We've been really lucky with the oponents we had in this cup, as Chaos are notoriously bad at low Team Values and elves are a soft starter. If we'd had Orcs, Lizards or Dwarves in our starting group, things may have looked different. Even a human blitzer with mighty blow could've ruined our day.


Our starting lineup. Silellak returns to us. Our goal for ths game is to try and get him 2 touchdowns, as a st2 lineman not much use to us without a skill.
bb2010073103401783.jpg


The goats are back. Hopefully they haven't brought a minotaur. Those guys hurt.
bb2010073103411136.jpg


Well, fuck. The strange setup is because the game apparently decided I had spent too long taking pretty pictures. Your set-up sends abruptly, with no visible timer or warning if you take too long.
bb2010073103434209.jpg


Oh hell yes!
bb2010073103435242.jpg


Pipka drags a goat down with him, ending the chaos teams turn prematurely and badly out of position
bb2010073103444658.jpg


Lightbane shows he means business, delivering udder destruction to the ÜberCow. This may very well win us the match! :salute:
bb2010073103454004.jpg


Since the ref is out, we decide to see how many goats we can gangfoul off the pitch
bb2010073103461155.jpg

bb2010073103494518.jpg


Flying Spaghetti Monster gets his first casualty. He collects a fistful of teeth as a trophy
bb2010073103503586.jpg


Our attempt to knock the ball free is a flashback to last match. No matter, we've got their cage contained.
bb2010073103520998.jpg


The next few turns nothing much happen. All attempts to knock the ball free are met with pushbacks
bb2010073103534975.jpg

bb2010073103555271.jpg

Silellak moves into position to score the moment the goats slip up
bb2010073103571001.jpg

bb2010073103571623.jpg

Azira finally knocks the ball free, but it scatters into the hands of his teammate. Crap!
bb2010073104000469.jpg


Meanwhile, ComradeCommisar hatches a cunning plan...
bb2010073104003150.jpg

bb2010073104003907.jpg

With Mike Jahn blocking off the only route of escape, the beastman is shoved off the pitch and into the waiting arms of BetesdaLove, who knocks him out with a bench! Now that's teamwork!

To those wondering what Elwro's been up to, he spends the entire half making sure the goats can't pass to their receiver
bb2010073104021550.jpg


Lightbane finally frees the ball
bb2010073104033507.jpg


It's the last turn before halftime. A 2+ pickup and a single 2+ Go For It is all that stands betweeen Silellak and a touchdown. Oh the suspense...

All right, Rapists. I see how it is. You're not elves at all. You're just reguar fags and trannies with pointy ears. But you know what? You're MY fags and trannies, and I believe we can make this work. Their CowZilla is out and we're recieving. As of right now, finesse is right out. We're going to go out there and pummel them into submission. We're not going to lose the game to a bunch of furries. Rapists - once more into the breach!

The kickoff scatters off the pitch. Against all logic, I give the ball to the weakest player on the line of scrimmage.
bb2010073104073964.jpg


Since Elwro basically spent the entire last half resting in our endzone, he has plenty of energy left. A vicious uppercut sends a goat off to his Happy Place.
bb2010073104081921.jpg


Pipka proves once agian that you're not really elves. A failed 2+ dodge, but our cage is secure.
bb2010073104093062.jpg

bb2010073104105597.jpg


We punch through their defenses. The endzone is in sight
bb2010073104120564.jpg


The goats try to sneak a receiver into our endzone. This strategy works surprisingy well, because the crappy default camera only shows about half the pitch. After 3-4 turns, you forget about him. You can zoom out or move it, but every turn it resets to default. :x
bb2010073104125264.jpg


Mike Jahn was listening to my halftime peptalk. A well-placed elbow drop sends a goat off the pitch to recuperate.
bb2010073104133942.jpg


I get greedy. Fortunately we have a reroll.
bb2010073104142136.jpg


A single 2+ Go For it is all that stands between Silellak and a touchdown again... I'm not sure want to see this...

I think she likes you, Silellak. :thumbsup:

With 5 turns remaining and 11 emofags vs 9 goats, things are looking good
bb2010073104164971.jpg


Make that 11 vs 8. Flying Spaghetti Monster makes up for missing the first 2 matches
bb2010073104192137.jpg


Mike Jahn circles around the mid-pitch mosh pit and prepares to get physical with the carrier...

Brother None snatches up the ball while everyone's distracted by the carnage

Silellak makes like an elf, dodging twice to complete the cage
bb2010073104230284.jpg


A sickening crunch echoes around the stadium! A beastman clutches the bloody, mangled remains of his hand!

Meanwhile, Azira's still trying to play elfball, with predictable results
bb2010073104280004.jpg

bb2010073104280372.jpg


Last turn, victory looms on the horizon. Silellak needs to succeed on a 2+ pickup to score his second touchdown and ensure he gets a skill
bb2010073104290725.jpg





















Aww yeah!

Look at those wide shoulders and big hips. Artificially grown hairs. Manboobs...
I wonder if she is post-op.

I have the screenshots for the next update ready. It'll be a rematch vs. our Arch-nemesis, the hippy fagelves for the coveted n00b trophy. After that update (which I'll write later), we'll go over peoples performance in the first cup, give out medals to the best players and look at getting you guys some proper competition.

Match day! Match day! Time to kill some hippies!

We trade in Azira for Azira Mk II, since he wanted to be an assassin. It's a good idea not to get too many players on your team early, as quality trumphs quantity.
bb2010073117325459.jpg


Our nemesis returns. Only a shutout victory wll appease the Gods of Codexia
bb2010073117335377.jpg


We're chosen to kick. The kickoff allows us to tighten our defense

bb2010073117354472.jpg

bb2010073117365011.jpg

bb2010073117371419.jpg

Although a hippie still manages a 3+, 3+, 2+ dodge series and could threaten us...

But Azira will have none of it! Stabbity-stab!
bb2010073117382055.jpg



Flying Spaghetti Monster takes a nap

Mike Jahn slips into position and puts his tackle skill to good use

Disaster strikes!
bb2010073117455589.jpg

I decide against using the apotechary, as doing so on less than a serious injury invokes Murphy's Law. Our assassin will have to suck it up.

Zappater avenges his fallen comrade, snapping the fingers on the puny hands of a treehugging consoletard! (Treetard?)
bb2010073117473502.jpg

A huge fight breaks out. Zappater and 2 treehuggers are knocked out before the ref breaks everyone apart

Mike Jahns attempt to blitz the carrier is met with dismal failure
bb2010073117524324.jpg

bb2010073117524822.jpg


We eventually free the ball. Bethesda rolls past the hippies, delivers a sweet short pass to GarfunkeL and...

IT'S A TOUCHDOWN! A BEAUTIFUL TOUCHDOWN! A MARVELLOUS TOUCHDOWN! A TOUCHDOWN BEYOND ALL TOUCHDOWNS!
Champagne for everyone during halftime, celebrating a first half that was pretty much prefectly executed

The woodies are butthurt and bribe a spectator into unsportsmanslike conduct :decline:
bb2010073117583379.jpg


We quickly even the score
bb2010073117585199.jpg


Flying Spaghetti Monster proves himself to be our most versatile player, retreiving the ball and delivering it safely to our cage
bb2010073118004826.jpg

bb2010073118021885.jpg

bb2010073118061834.jpg

The hippies are hopelessly outnumbered, and can do little to stop us from proceeding down the pitch

ComradeCommisar makes a break for the endzone, but fumbles his Go For It. This is becoming a worrysome trend
bb2010073118064643.jpg


The opposition is quick to seize the initiative.
bb2010073118071781.jpg

bb2010073118072824.jpg

Fortunately, they get greedy and suffer a turnover befre securng the ball entirely

Things are getting tense. On one end of the pitch, we move to reclaim the ball. It is, however, nearly impossible to contain wood elves. One mistake and they can have the ball down to their receivers in a single turn
bb2010073118090094.jpg

bb2010073118092161.jpg


Fortunately, we execute a textbook series of blocks and pushes, freeing the ball and setting ComradeCommisar up for a second chance
bb2010073118110687.jpg

bb2010073118111432.jpg

bb2010073118113093.jpg

Our cheerleader can barely contain her excitement. I hope you're all sleeping with your butts up against a wall

The last turns are a formality. Our victory is secured! :thumbsup:
A slip-up on the hippies part open up a chance to get in a hummiliating 3-0 score

bb2010073118162827.jpg

...But Brother None decides to fake a Knockout instead. No doubt so he can get a head start on the victory keg of Bugmans XXXXXX

We redeem ourselves of the humiliation we suffered in our first game
bb2010073118170407.jpg

bb2010073118171624.jpg

Aww yeah! With the prize money from the n00b cup, we're able to afford a third reroll.


We gain 10 prestige for winning the cup. We move on to the second period of the season. Highlighted stadions indicate competitions that are running now. Yellow arrows indicate competitions we're prestigious enough to enter. There's only one competition that fits both, so that's where we're going. It'll be another couple of matches before we get to play in the big leagues :?
bb2010073118175654.jpg


3 players level up! Flying Spaghetti Monster surges ahead. You is credit to team

ComradeCommisar gets the dubious honour of being our Big Guy hunter. They often lead short but glorious lives
bb2010073118193156.jpg

Lightbane rolls doubles and gets guard. Elves desperately need this skill, but can only get it on doubles
bb2010073118195295.jpg



Let's look at how everyone performed in the cup. Brace yourselves for statistics! :what:
bb2010073118223348.jpg

From left to right we have: Matches played, MVP's earned, Touchdowns, Successful passes, Successful catches, Interceptions, Kills, Casualtes caused, Knockouts caused...

The tooltip on the next column claims to be blocks thrown. But if tat is the case, it's clearly bugged and incorrect. :M
Finally we have Yards ganed by passing/running, injuries sustaned, KOs sustained, interceptions sustained and times tackled when trying to dodge away from opponents.

Coming up: Medals and a preview of things to come

A lot of tough choices here. While Blood Bowl is first and foremost a team game, a lot of people have had the oppertunity to shine. These are the stars of our first cup:

CAS KING
26mdl12.jpg

A lot of strong contenders in this category. Mike Jahn edges ahead of his comrades by virtue of consistency and finesse in brutalizing his enemies. I'm especially proud of the way he regularly manages to knock the ball free from the carrier.

Defensive mastery
26mdl40.jpg

Silellak takes this one for his brave sacrifices. Whenever things looked the bleakest, he stepped up and put us all back on track! :salute: No matter your role on the team going forward, we will never forget how you gave it all to stop the opposition from reaching our endzone.

Proficiency with Balls
XR-212.jpg

Flying Spaghetti Monster has proven himself the go-to guy when we need to move the ball. This isn't saying much, as the teams track record with 2+ pickups, passes and catches is abysmal. Balls or not, FSM is one of our most reliable players so long as he is not knocked out.

Most Valuable Emofag
26mdl29.jpg

A lot of contenders for this medal. Lightbane managed to Cas a Minotaur before it got a chance to savage our team. Silellak and FSM both showed themselves as brilliant and capable Emofags. In the end, I'm going to have to give ths to Elwro. His was the thankless task of running interference for the oppositions receivers and cage duty, protecting the ball from all comers. His role may not be glamourous, but it is a necessary one.


Preview of our next opponent to get you all pumped

Update incoming. I was going to make a juicy 2-match posting next page instead, but Blood Bowl decided to crash before I could save my campaign after the game.

That's why I save at each new kickoff. Those game-stopping bugs might be fewer now than just after the release, but they still annoy the heck out of me.
