RT BBL Season 9

[Gandalf]

Also, I'm calling for a bounty on the blood routing algorithm, which decided it would be a great idea to make my +AG, Big Hand gobbo make a tentacles roll when there was a perfectly safe alternative route to pick up the ball.

That's because No Entry is such an attractive fellow; others cannot resist his charm.

I'm starting to think lightening bolts are like Raveen's GFI rolls. Technically 2+ but in reality a 50-50 chance. As I recall id3's first turn consisted mostly of "blitz No Entry with the troll!" Foul Appearance failed "reroll it!" failed loner roll "OK hit a nurgle warrior!" Foul Appearance failed. "Lightening-bolt attack No Entry!" rolled a 1....

[Red Lion Three]

Yes, good game Abom. And a very decent long match report.

Re the ghoul who got swamped by goblins towards the end - I thought he was essentially safe, and a score was a near certainty! And then three if not four goblins got to him using stunty. :-S ...

The use of strip ball was effective. I saw the player had the skill, but haven't really seen it do anything and didn't register that the push would lead to loss of the ball :-S ...

And the errors continued. A routing error leading to ball loss through dodging a wight; misunderstanding the fanatic strength so sending lots of players into a scrum in the middle in an attempt to get a block on him instead of running away...

And then to cap off a bad coaching day for the Plaice, the MVP went to the zombie purchased before the last game. Again. So after two games that zombie has 12 SPP. Whereas after a season my number-one-on-the-list mummy has amassed... 2 SPP. On a mummy. In a season.

Anyway, well played. You beat me even after losing one of your big guys in short order! And without even trying to throw a goblin :-(

Hey, so... BDBD and Casualties Against - do thralls Badly Hurt by my own vampires count for that?

I don't think so. It uses Cyanide's casualty field, which are injuries that credit the opponent with 2SPP, I don't do any amendments to that number.

However, Vampires are a weird exception to a lot of things, so feel free to challenge this statement by looking in the match logs (all available on BBDB).

[lawastooshort]

Hum, I'm not sure I can use the logs to challenge it* and will take what you say above


*I don't think regen or apothecary rolls are in there. The logs show 22 injuries being sustained, 2 of which are BHs due to BL.

[Gandalf]

If you want you can view the raw text logs under the "other" tab, that will include all the rolls.

[lawastooshort]

Aha. Well, I've spent enough lunch times counting dice rolls this week, so I'll have to pass on that

[Gandalf]

Are we finishing the league this weekend?

Rav vs id3 is the only remaining catchup match.

[Abomination]

Hey, silly question: If I have an injured player, he doesn't take up a spot for purposes of hiring mercs/star players, right? So if a 16/16 roster has a "miss next game", it counts as 15/16 and can hire a star?

[DaigaroOgami]

Yes, I believe you are correct squire

[lawastooshort]

Yes, and if you have say a 2/2 player MNG, you can hire that type of player as a merc next game.

[Gandalf]

Abom you are right, I got this wrong recently. I fired snotlings to make space to hire a star player in a match last season, and then found out I didn't need to as the one missing the game didn't count towards my 16.

[id3nt1ty]

Raveen, are you about this week to catch up our game?

[Raveen]

Thursday might be doable. Does that suit you?

[id3nt1ty]

I'll have to double check, but it should be fine with me!
