Proelves are still available.
Edit: And Humans, Jiiiiim is switching to Darkelves apparently. And *snicker* Dwarves.

I believe Groovy is dropping his Necros
Oh gosh, it's all change next season. Maybe I should park my Chaos in the Challenge League and throw in another rookie team too.
I'm hoping to bring in an undead team in next season and since I have only managed to get two games in the challenge league they are VERY green. It would be nice to see some other (relatively) fresh teams starting.
If I can't bring my woodies in, my humies are only about 1,400 and dwarves around 1,200, so they're relatively fresh.
Since I am assured that TV differences are irrelevant and can be made up with inducements, I'll bring in my Halflings instead of my Dwarves. Currently 900 TV and named The Dessert Spoons. They've played 2 games but no skillups yet.
I'll update the sheet when I get home.
I still reckon it'll make a difference ¬_¬
Not sure if I'll bring a new team in or not right now. It depends how many fresh teams we'll be seeing next season and what's available.
If I do switch, I will switch out my Goblins for either a brand new Orc/Chaos/ProElf side, or a reasonably new Vamp team (they played one season of the DoD as a filler squad and nothing since). Vamps I found surprisingly fun, while Orcs and Chaos are just a bashy change of pace from my other active teams. Pro Elves are entirely new to me and I know they're fragile as hell, but they have some enticing starting skills.
For now though I'll remove my Chaos entry on the spreadsheet, then either keep Goblins or pick up whatever race is free at the end.

I'm hoping I get one of the new teams for my first match next seasons, I've never had 1100+TV worth of inducements against me before. ;-)
Dunno what I'd get.
Deeproot Strongbranch and Morg (if that's possible). An Apo. Both Babes. A Wizard. The Chef. What's that add up to? I'd get bribes for the rest.
I'd make a big line of trees in the middle of the pitch and hide behind it. You'll never find me in here!!
Yeah, you could get all that for 1180...
It would be asinine to claim otherwise; it makes a huge difference to initial team build, play style, skill choices and how you use inducements. What it doesn’t make much difference to is results providing you make the necessary adjustments. Since we adopted the inducement system (pretty much as soon as it was first added to the vault, so the best part of a decade now) our league stats show coach rookie team performances have been within 10% of their standard record with that race. It took a little while for everyone to adapt but now they have we are of the opinion that the inducements system needs toning down.Originally Posted by Jiiiiim
What it does require is a bit of planning from the coach. If you don’t know exactly how much inducement cash you have and how you will spend it before reaching the inducement screen you are going to struggle. If you don’t know who you are playing in three rounds time and how that impacts who you want to get SPP with you’ll struggle. If you don’t even know which opponents have niggles you’ll struggle come what may but you certainly can’t get away without exploiting these things while playing at a significant TV handicap. You can’t wing it because you need a very focussed plan with all your guns pointing in the same direction.
Think it was 900k wasn’t it when the Goats took on Frenzy almost a year ago to the day. I did have four figures worth at least once that season.
Flings don’t really belong in this conversation. If you are not playing with an absolute minimum of 670k inducements you are doing it wrong. Think I averaged around 850 with Frenzy a couple of seasons ago and was challenging for a spot on the podium until very late in the season but I wouldn’t consider citing that as evidence of the value of inducements. The roster is specifically designed to be played that way.
Okay, remaining two matches allocated results as appropriate (draw for me and Hugh, win for NieA7) and rolled on to... THE FINAL DAY.
Grinn, when's good for you? I'm free after 6pm most days, although I'm out on Tuesday.
Pier! Fight me!
Groovy, when would you like to play?
With fists! Or not, can you play today by any chance (sunday)? I'll probably be away until friday otherwise.
Mr Pier's Elves and Nuffle 4 - 1 Storm Boyz
Enough happened in this match that I actually started believing in Nuffle for real. Also, for some reason he appeared to be annoyed with me.
Let's see -
I take down the ball carrying elf, and the ball bounces into the hands of one of the only two elves standing anywhere near him, who then makes his dodge and scores? Fair enough, it happens.
Pier knocks my ball carrier off the pitch and then elfs in another? Fine, not even Nuffle, that's just elves.
Pier gets a blitz and another touchdown? Hmm
I am one pass and catch from a touchdown, and the thrower rerolls the pass to a scatter launch that throws the ball right into the hands of the only elf within ten squares of the target? Nuffle is real.
After that I started trying to just hurt as many elfs as possible, but the only two career enders were caused by me in the first half, and by Nuffle (who is real) in the second half.
Perhaps realising that he had been a complete son of a bitch to me for no reason, or perhaps trying to hide the fact that he is totally real, Nuffle gave Pier two skulls on a two dice roll. Then he gave Pier two more skulls on the reroll. Then he broke the elfs collarbone.
I scored a consolation touchdown in the last turn.

Ultimate Maths Squad (Jim, humans) v Stikky Fingerz (Screwie, gobbos)

The problem's playing goblins starts to take its toll
Too many dead from failing many types of rolls
So Screwie has three bribes and some kind of star troll
but he'll find fifty ways to be turned over
A pitch invasion serves to darkly set the tone
Furthermore, his chainsaw's dulcet roar does not break
any bones
But his bomb explodes, a crowd of goblins start to moan
There must be fifty ways to be turned over
Fifty ways to be turned over
You just slip on your back, Jack
Fail a dodge, rog
Start a saw in a hurry, Murray
Don't wanna be late
Bomb yourself, Kev
or get it thrown back aaaat you
Just climb on a troll, paul
And get yourself ate
Ooo headbutt a rock, Doc
stunned by the crowd, Maude
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself chucked
get triple skulls, Sull
and loner the rerooooll
or fail a pass, Cass
These goblins are fucked
The end of turn 8 is his one and only chance
A goblin by the sidelines manages to dance
past one man two men but the third man grabs his pants
there must be fifty ways
Come the second half there's only three goblins left
Their trolls are sturdy but they aren't exactly deft
And so he watches, as my guys perfect the ball theft
There must be fifty ways to be turned over
Fifty ways to be turned over
You just slip on your back, Jack
Fail a dodge, rog
Start a saw in a hurry, Murray
Don't wanna be late
Bomb yourself, Kev
or get it thrown back aaaat you
Just climb on a troll, paul
And get yourself ate
Ooo headbutt a rock, Doc
stunned by the crowd, Maude
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself chucked
get triple skulls, Sull
and loner the rerooooll
or fail a pass, Cass
These goblins are fucked
Full time: Maths 6 - 0 Goblins
For a second there I thought you said "climb on a troll pole and get yourself aids, eww". After reading the lyrics I am a lot happier.
