In Progress Codex Bloodbowl League

[vazha]

Apologies, started another game on fumbbl. I am afraid we too will have to sort out our match tomorrow

 

[Zanzoken]

boot I'm sorry for the delay man, does now work for you?

Totally fine if you'd rather wait until tomorrow.

yeah I'm still here, I'll get on in a minute

 

[Zanzoken]

good game boot

I made several serious errors but managed to catch some lucky dice at the right times

Elf bullshit ftw

 

[vazha]

boot I'm still waiting for my driver to arrive (I know, posh) and got an hour to play if you're free now

yeah, I'm on now, ready

 

[vazha]

I dont seem to be able to rejoin it, sorry mate boot
Admins, kindly gimme a concession and give boot his well deserved victory. It was inevitable anyway.
As for the first half, in the words of Roxor, I hate this game and should never ever have come back to it. Fucking Rage.

 

[Zanzoken]

I tuned in just in time to see the Bull Centaur get surfed

 

[vazha]

It wasnt about bull being surfed that broke the camels back. Nor the apo helpfully offering to kill him instead of treating him. It was 0 skill elves making 6-7 dodges each turn without having to reroll once until turn 7. And me failing both times I attempted a 2+ gfi. And av 7 acting like av 10, both vs blocks and fouls, and me not scoring at turn 8 with 67 % pickup. Fucking shitshow, that one.

 

[Strange Fellow]

When you attempted to base my Blocker holding the ball I thought I was done for.

That was really poor defending on my part, I could easily have made it much harder for you (not to take anything away from your play, of course). But I'm beginning to see signs that I might be learning from my mistakes, so there's that.

Suffice to say the match was full of sweat to the last turn, because Orcs turned into Green Elves and ALMOST made a string or ridiculously high rolls to score 2 turns touchdown on me.

It was a mirror of the end of the first half, really, only with more luck. I'm certainly not going to be putting my entire team on my own goal line again any time soon :D

Also, I think Strange Fellow didn't use his Bribe at all (I don't recall him fouling me either)?

I forget, I forget again.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I'm ready for you bionicman

 

[bionicman]

Spoiler

A close game, Darth Roxor got diced, otherwise would've won. A few injured on both sides, one catcher dead.

Well played, Darth Roxor, I hope you're not forever jaded about blood bowl and decide to give it another go one day.

 

[Darth Roxor]

The question of which human is the most manly remains unresolved as the norse vs human match ends 1:1.

It's probably the most fair result that could have been given that I lost the first drive per my own wish due to massive, unacceptable, idiotic derp in two crucial turns. Then the second I kept struggling against the dice in just about every turn but somehow still managed to score.

Bionicman had 2 more turns left for a 2-turn-td, but alas, humans are not elves, even if they try.

GG

 

[Lagole Gon]

Jaedar, when?

 

[Zanzoken]

So it looks like the match between Lagole Gon and Jaedar is the last scheduled match of the Codexia Grand Open (tm).

Since you guys are the top two teams in the league anyway, do you just want to consider this to be the tournament final?

Also bionicman and I have a match to play in the side league which will bring it to a close. I'm enjoying Codex BB and am interested in continuing, so wanted to get a gauge of who else is down to keep playing, along with preferred formats.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Depends on the settings, I guess? I think there might be a proper final match after that?

 

[Jaedar]

Jaedar, when?

This week has been pretty shitty, saturday? I'd prefer 14:00 but can do whenever.

I would like this, playing two games in a row with the same teams seems degenerate, and it looks like we are the undisputed finalists regardless of the outcome of the first match.

Also it would mean we can go into a season 2 with minimal disruption.

Ok.

Yeah I guess, but I have dibs on bailing if there's an odd number of applicants. In terms of format, we could just do another league, with any fresh team or team from this season allowed in?

 

[Zanzoken]

Depends on the settings, I guess? I think there might be a proper final match after that?

I have admin rights over the competition & league and I don't see anywhere that it's mandated. I think the final was just going to be a house rule / friendly between the top two teams so we could crown a proper, undisputed champion. But since the league is ending with a match between the top two teams anyway then it seems fitting to just call that the final and be done with it.

Up to you guys, boot correct me if I'm wrong and there is a final match requirement hidden somewhere in the settings.

 

[Jaedar]

Ok.

But is it the final or semifinal? Pretty sure the league doesn't have a playoff/final by default. Not that it's hard to create, but it isn't automatic.

I am all for continuing, although I'd suggest 10-12 matches in a league for the next season.

 

[Jaedar]

Lagole Gon I think you need to make it not mysterious because it's not like we can play unless we know. It would not be sporting to change the rules in the middle after all.

I understand that there's currently no proper finals and the person with the most points wins?

Yes. That is the case.
