    Just wanted to let y’all know that there’s a new entrant into the, uh, Wissen Cup?

    Whatever you’re calling it these days.

    Prepare for the exact level of your inferiority to be displayed for all to see.
    I am so bad at this game.

    Class Clowns lost 1-2, would've been better if I had stalled more in the first half and would have been worse if his block rolls hadn't been so unlucky

    After a 1-0 slugfest between the Liche Leaguers and Uhhhhh....... Name? the Round Robin has been advanced. This weeks matchups are

    @Phoenix-D Halflings vs @Ketar Wood Elf
    @Moridin889 Khemri vs @joshofalltrades Goblins
    @Veevee Ogres vs @Lord_Asmodeus Chaos Dwarf
    @RickRude Orc vs @TIFunkalicious Undead

    In WIssen Cup news, I believe @MrBody and their Kislev Circus team is the last outstanding invite leaving us with one last spot, assuming the invite is accepted. If anyone would like to join now would be your last opportunity. Please make a new team and join the league through the game, or let me know your BB2 Coach name and the team you'd like to play and I'll send it an invite directly. I hope to have this started by midweek or next weekend at the latest, so please let me know sooner rather than later.

    If you have already joined but want to change your team, now is your last chance. If you want to change but would rather not go through the hassle of actually doing it in game because of Cyanide, I understand. Send me a pm me here or on steam after making the new team and let me know you'd like to switch to it and i'll drop your current team and send an invite to the new one.

    This was an amazing replay. Final round of a tournament before the playoffs. My dead last Goblin team vs. the #1 team (dwarves).

    My team value of 1000 vs his 1800 o_O

    You would think it would be an instant slaughter, like my last 3 where I had to concede before halftime.

    But this one was a nailbiter! Wizards, fouls, even Morg n' Thorg! It all came down to the wire.

    Well, it was a bloody game with 8 or 9 injuries between us, but no deaths. Hindenburg the gnoblar did lose a movement point though. Hindenburg's time with the team was promising, but like everything else in blood bowl it had to end in tragedy.

    Game ended 2-0 for the Chaos Dwarfs. Ended perfectly with a double skull roll stunning an Ogre, too.

    Edit: For future reference, I believe you can watch steam streaming through the steam website

    You see the same thing in multiplayer basketball video games.Everybody goes after the ball. Everybody hogs the shot. Everybody converges on the ball on defense. Nobody passes. It would become ArchRivals if it was in the code.

    The halfling master chef rolled well enough that for the first half the halflings had 9 rerolls and the elves had 0. My good wardancer failed a 2 die block, I couldn't reroll it, and he was injured.

    Bood Bowl!

    And the accidental tree pass worked. Still sad I overextended the tree and he got blocked. It probably wouldn't have worked, but..

    Looks like there is 1 game to go for the round robin. I'll get the round advanced once it's played putting us into the back half of the competition. If I have everything set correctly, once we finish round 7 the top 4 teams will get a ticket to a knock out tournament to determine the top team, and the bottom 4 will also get a ticket to a consolation knock out competition.

    In Wissen Cup news, once @MrBody accepts the invite we will have 10 teams and I'll get the competition started.

    I wasn't sure what to do in that game to be honest. I think I was too passive when you got your mummy cage going. Kept trying to put pressure from the back bit it didn't work and got intimidated by your mummies. Didn't help you were out bashing me and killed one of my players :(

    Was a fun game but I felt lucky to lose 2-1

    He misplayed in the first half when he tried to dodge his ghoul through the mid scuffle. He could've gone on the outside and scored before you did, shutting you out entirely.

    You didn't pressure the front of the mummy cage very hard, letting him move multiple rows for free more than once. You focused 3 pieces on his journeyman zombie multiple turns to no avail, and your last lineup on the sideline you were lucky he didn't push your super buff blitzer down and out. You were scared of the mummies but you have block on a lot of dudes and av9. Needed to mark and punch a lot more. Mummies only have ma3

    The PA Wissen Cup has started! First round of games are

    @Veevee Norse, Norsing Aroun' vs @Ketar Bretonian, Army of LARPness
    @Moridin889 High Elf, Allies of Alith Anar vs @Elvenshae High Elf, Better Than You?
    @MrBody Kislev Circus, Cirque d'So Lame vs @TIFunkalicious Amazon, The Mighty Rerolls
    @Lord_Asmodeus Skaven, Morskittar Globadiers vs @ShadowofVT Lizardmen, Lizards on the Rocks
    @RickRude Vampire, Seekers of Bloood vs @TheLawinator Nurgle, Rot and Trot

    The way a Wissen competition works is that after this week you will only be scheduled to play another team at a similar win/loss record. If you win this round you will play someone who also won, and if you lose you will play someone who lost (Except for the lucky two because there will be 5 winners and losers this round). Round after that, if you won or lost both rounds you will play against someone who did both as well. So on and so forth for 7 rounds until a champion is determined.

    At the end of the 7 round competition, the top half will receive an auto invite to the next competition while the bottom half will have an opportunity to make a new team to join in the next round. I would prefer the top half not change teams, but if you really don't want to keep playing as that team then I won't force you, we are here for fun after all. I will insist the bottom two teams make new teams though. These new teams will be experienced teams set to the average team value of the competition, and they must be a different race than your previous team.

    In Round Robin news, @joshofalltrades and @Moridin889 is the last game of the round. Once it gets played I'll advance the round.

    The game will consist entirely of the whole group standing around the centerline, talking about how déclassé the remaining competition will be.

    The game gave me the option of assigning the first round or letting the Three Yard Elf decide.

    Blame Nuffle, not me.

    Edit: I am around to play today if anyone wants to play a friendly. The results aren't saved so we can use our league teams. Sending me a message on steam is generally the best and quickest way to get in contact to play a match.

    @Ketar let me know when you'll be available.

    Was just not my game. I thought I was in good position on the first few turns after receiving the first kickoff. I definitely got greedy and tried to score early, and didn't protect the ball as well as I should have. I got punished for it with those damn gutter runners, and they ended up scoring . After that it was all downhill. The rats caught their next kickoff deep on my side of the field thanks to a Blitz! event (I still think that should be removed, it's way too powerful) and scored the turn after, so it was 2-0 going into the half. Then it started raining, which made it damn near impossible for a starting lizard team to pick up the ball.
