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

[The Brain]

It does have the air of 'if you can't beat them, join them' but after I got tired of every game being over at half time because all my thralls were dead I switched up to Lizards, and have found them really quite fun to play with.

Lizards are also a good choice as you get the fun of bashing a bit while still being able to play a decent running game. If I move away from elves they are definitely in with a shot.

hhhhhmmm so no one acutally knows if PT and DT work together? im just so lazy i dont want to actually check id just hate to waste my tackle, DT, PT beastman

According to TalkFantasyFootball, PT and DT do indeed stack.

EDIT - FUMBBL says they stack too.

OK!
Apologies to those who missed their application this season, but as others have said, we need to keep this admin downtime to a minimum and it's been nearly a week since the draw.

Few reshuffles to fill in the divisions:
Drawlien up to Div C
Dolphan up to Div E
Axler to I
Kanesuke to J

All other divisions are started and fixtures checked (although Cyanide was showing me even less useful UI than usual today, so might be worth double checking?). If the others could get their applications in ASAP, that'd help those remaining divisions to get going.

As soon as this is done, I'm going to create a NEW blood bowl thread. Details will follow!
(I may have also accidentally started E, but we can still swap teams around for now.)

applied oh glorious leader.

[President Weasel]

Accepted your application - also saw one, finally, from theKev there but I'm afraid it's too late.
Try applying to J, theKev - I want to get these divisions started, so as soon as I see 4 applications in there I will accept them - whether the 4th one is Kanesuke's or Kev's.

Those of you in Division I, your fixtures are sorted (probably, damn whoever coded this piece of crap league management tool that means you need to log out and in again to see the effects of any changes) and you can now arrange your games.

We are still awaiting the following:

Drawlien up to Div C
Dolphan up to Div E
Kanesuke to J (Or theKev if he applies first, and Kanesuke hasn't applied within 24 hours)

Would there be a reason why I cant post here?

Dwarfs out HElfs in
*fist pumps*

[The Brain]

Since the admins are still valiantly trying to get all the divisions started this may be jumping the gun a bit but Division 1 is ready to be rolled on. We must just be super efficient or something. :-)

[Dolphan]

Application in.

[Heliocentric]

We must just be super efficient or something. :-)

It's the rhino steroids, they have quite a kick.

[The Brain]

So that's what's been giving me the horn.

[President Weasel]

wahey!

also, good work Dolphan. Division E shows the correct matches with you instead of Drawlien, so I think everything's good.


Drawlien up to Div C
Kanesuke to J (Or theKev if he applies first, and Kanesuke hasn't applied within 24 hours)

Dear admins

This one's for you:

I'm as close to the champs as I have ever been after 7 seasons but my team advancement seems to have stalled. I haven't had more than one level up in the last 4 matches. I'm tempted by dark elves as they are slightly tougher and more bashy while still having some Elf flair. It would also allow me to have more than two blodge sidestepping annoying gits.

This stall is development is going to happen for almost every team. Once your positionals get to level 3ish development is extremely slow. And if one gets killed or retired it's hard to get them back up to speed because it's harder to use/protect a piece with no skills. Also once you're up in the top tiers you're playing against better/more experienced coaches so low scoring games are much more likely, which means fewer spp as well.

At this point with my necros I think I see one level maybe every 4-5 matches. Not getting skills makes things less exciting, but I don't think there is much you can do to change it.

somebody give drawlien a poke. Poke him poke him poke hiiim

In other news:

Division B, match 1

My team just melted away in the second half. At least I managed to apoc Professor Cox's dead to a fractured leg; that's something.

Unless I'm missing something super obvious, I am still unable to post in the Div I Group Discussion thread. I can only assume a mod needs to accept my application to the group or some such?

Maybe Groovy needs to invite you?
In the meantime, can you use PMs to arrange your matches?

[Everblue]

Is there someone else we could promote up instead of Drawlien? He doesn't seem to be checking the thread, and the whole league is now waiting for him. Prester John, Darkweeble and Weasel all finished second in their tier 3 divisions...
