Sooo... any further thoughts on teams?

I've been considering undead (if Moose changes) or chaos as a complete change to something sensible and solid, although I'm leaning more towards Skaven if Abom changes.

I'll probably stick with the Fables for now...

So far we have 2 people reasonably committed, 3 who are uncertain and 4 who have said nothing.

Gandalf : Ogres (existing team)
id3 : Necromantic (existing team)
Rav; Elves/Norse? (new team)
notj : Dark Elves/Orcs (existing team)
la : Undead/Skaven/vampires (new or existing team)

Daigaro, moose, RL3 and Abom have yet to respond. Given season 8 is about a month away there's not really a rush.

I'm gonna friendly some Pro Elves to see how filthy they make me feel...

The ducklingz will probably have to have a season off as they already have won the morale victory in the violence season, and are totally gonna win the cup... Well, they would if you philistines had taken on the violence theme.

Plus it's NJs turn to Orc it up if he wants.

We could have Rav/notj/daigaro all with elf teams next season! Although Rav & Daigaro are both looking at pro elves it seems. Don't forget the Wood Elves are available too.

Ooh that's true - I'd also thought about High Elves!

If we had that many elf teams next season, I'd pay a lot of money to get hold of Rav's Chorf team and all that lovely Tackle.



The skill, not... you know...

Percy had a vision. Well, multiple visions. During matches, which was unfortunate and meant he missed a lot of what was going on. He was tired of being hit, again, and again, and again, and having nothing to show for it. What if he didn't have to be hit? What if noone had to get hit? Just think of how many more 'shrooms he could sell if more people were around to buy them? PilrOrc was covered in glory in his heyday, and he never used to hit anyone. Percy listened to Lennon. Percy had a mission. Round up as many pacifists as he could (yes, he looked up that word) and form a team. Yes they were rare, yes, they'd need convincing, but blimey, what a vision.

Look at who Percy managed to sign

I'll try and hold back the vomit and friendly these good intentioned fellows in the downtime between the cup starting if anyone wants a match.

What an abomination! What does Percy's wife think of all this?

@id3 You could just get a normal dwarf team.

I will start a new team of some sort to play friendlies over Christmas. Possibly Norse; not quite sure yet. Definitely ogres in season 7 though.

SSHHH!!! Don't bloody tell her, Percy hasn't even mentioned it to her.

ID you should try Halflings this season, without treemen. In fact everyone should try halflings without trees, or goblins without weapons, or lizards without Sauraii.

And they should all sit around cross legged, holding hands before and after matches and sing, yes SING! for World Peace & Harmony.

Percy has already begun the petition for Tag Blood Bowl.

Well, if Daigoro wants some pointy eared fun and Gandalf is resting the Wanderers for a couple of seasons then I think I might bring back the Rock-Knockers after all.

Decisions, decisions , decisions.

And as boring as they are, a Dwarf team in the league would be a challenge that people might appreciate.

Christ no Rav!

What we all want, and what Percy's Message needs, if for the Hambridge Archers to continue, albeit on a new, invigorating path.

The Path of Percy. The Path of The Way.
