RPS Blood Bowl League - The many, many Divisions of Death!

I nagged Phill on Twitter. I think he's still a bit jetlagged from the GDC.

Wuss! RPS DoD is more important than mere jetlag!

[Vexing Vision]

I agree! I'm launching Carte Europe tomorrow which looks pretty big by now, and I'm still excitedly following the RPS Division discussions and can't wait to start! :D

[Screwie]

Between the Open and the DoD I have a necro double bill this week. Despite those undead gits, I can't wait to get back to playing some BB. :)

Applied to division 4.

Fixtures checked and season started down to 2/B so far, just waiting on Grinn, DarkFenix, Snoozer and Deekyfun to get the rest going :-). Well done all, i was expecting to have to wait until the weekend to chase people up...

[DeekyFun]

Sorry guys! One of the drawbacks of finish your last game so early seems to be completely losing track of when the next season is beginning... applying to group F now.

[DarkFenix]

Sorry for disappearing last season, final year project ongoing at uni. As such I'll need to give this season a miss and come back next season. Convenient time to, since I'm getting a new team going in any case.

[groovychainsaw]

No worries DF, hope you get a high mark for sacrificing your blood bowl ;-).

This means we're now one short for the new season, I need a volunteer from Div 8 to go up to 7... first post in here (and applied in-game), first served. I'll also need another player for division 8, so if anyone's been lurking and would like a go in our lovely divisions, it would be a good opportunity to face off against some other new players. Failing that, would anyone else like to create a filler team to join the new boys? (goblins, ogres or halflings only please!)

[President Weasel]

I'll volounteer to reactivate my old Dark Elf team for one season only, if you like. They're way overlevelled and will probably win (although with the treachery of Iron Quinns an ever-present threat, you never know) but at least none of them have mighty blow so they're unlikely to wreck up someone's shiny new team while the paint on the models is still wet.

I'll volunteer to escape President Weasel's not-so-mighty dark elves.

[DWZippy]

Does this mean Div G can start tomorrow?

[groovychainsaw]

El Cubo - if you apply for div 7 tonight, you've got the spot :-). PW, anything a bit softer than your dark elves? They seem a bit tough to go up against our new guys maybe?

Edit - all the letter divisions are GO! Just waiting on Grinn now for div 3, and El Cubo/PW for 7 and 8. Season will officially start tomorrow, so you'll have 10 days from then to play your first game!

[President Weasel]

I picked the Delves because they're a legit Divisions team and they haven't done a stroke of work since I retired them, the lazy buggers. Also, they probably won't hurt too many enemy, err, opposition, players. I could submit the Feisty Squirrels instead, they're my old Wood Elf team from the Open.
(and they're a shambles of injuries, gaps where players died and got fired, and MNGs at the moment - there's a reason I play Orcs in the Open now)

It is done.

[squirrelfanatic]

Eh, aren't the new Divisions supposed to be reserved for, you know, new teams?

Edit: If PW's Dark Elves just get reactivated for one season only, why not make a new team instead?

[President Weasel]

I dont want to make yet another new team, I'd rather bring back my old one from the Divisions, or failing that an old one from the Open. Since I have no intention of staying in with that team (it's only there to make 4, so the other three players get to play this season) I don't see why it should be a new team, as long as the challenge is roughly the same for all the other players.
I wouldn't want a killer chaos team or high level khemri, orcs, nurgle up against the newbies- these are elves though.
I don't see a queue of other volounteers, but if someone else wants to enter a new team they can feel free.

Dark Elves, but fair enough. If there aren't any other other teams available - whatever.

I'll chuck some rookie goblins into Div 8 then, if it's less contentious for everyone. Let the admins accept whomever they deem fit.

PW's dark elves would make great filler for the upper divisions, as an alternative policy for when this sort of thing happens in the future?

[groovychainsaw]

ALL DIVISIONS ARE GO! SEASON STARTS TOMORROW GET ORGANISING YOUR GAMES!

Screwie, after a discussion with PW, your gobbos are in the bottom division for the new guys to bash. El Cubo, good response time, you're in 7 now - enjoy! :-)

I'm still waiting on Grinn to apply to 3, but as I've spoken to him tonight, I hope we'll get that one sorted shortly. Everyone check your fixtures before starting up your first game, I have set them up and matched them to the sheet myself, but due to cyanide's lovely UI, they don't always update correctly and a lot of the time I'm moving invisible teams around (I'm not going to explain, suffice to say, its crap).
