Season 8 Predictions Thread

[Gandalf]

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> Given the, er, "2 point deduction for a vote of confidence for the prediction league commish's team": Either Shrek 38-0, or Punch Dummies 3-0. No compromises. I'm counting on you Abom. :-P

I've put you down for a Goblin win then as that's by far the most likely of your two outcomes.

Agree: re comments about the Ogre-Goblin game, it's going to be chaos, and with the extremely high number of dice that will be rolled (eg 8 players on the pitch will have to roll 2+ in order to do anything, 12+ players will have dodge...), the only sure thing is that it will be chaotic madness.

Ogre-goblin possible contender for most d6 rolled in an RTBBL game? You can do it, coaches!

[Gandalf]

If BBM was up I would look at the last time we played.

I think I have topped 250 dice being rolled in a single match with the Ogres before though. Topping 100 D6's is not uncommon. I don't think I would ever play with them in real life, a frankly tedious volume of dice-rolling.

[id3nt1ty]

And to think that all the dice have already been rolled before you start your first turn on the computer... so efficient.

[lawastooshort]

Yes I think every vampire match was probably over 100 d6. A good sample size on which to base complaining or otherwise about the dice.

[Gandalf]

After 1 game the table resembles my final predictions already... the current top 3 are all in my predicted top 4, and the current bottom 3 are all in my bottom 3

I should just stick to predicting final tables, my match-by-match predictions are pretty rubbish.

I'm better at predicting Blood Bowl than Rugby

Updated the spreadsheet. Percy leads the way with 9 points, and there's three way tie for second on 6 points. No bonus points this week, la and I nearly got there with 4 out of 5 though. I've also changed the security settings so anyone should be able to view it now.

Getting in next week's early!

Punch Dummies vs Fables! - Fables 2-0, with comedy.

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders - Shrek 2-1.

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz - The Orcs are pretty strong. Orcs 2-1.

The Mastercheesers vs A Fistful of Boomstick - Skaven are a pain, they're so fast. 2-1 to La.

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz - Umm, I always back my team but: - 3-1 Wonderz.

[Gandalf]

It's early for sure but hey it's hard staying awake until the end of the super bowl...

Punch Dummies vs Fables! - 1-1 draw with mad things happening

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders - An unskilled elf team is pretty near the top of the list of teams that Team Shrek would like to play. But all elves are good at scoring, and Team Shrek are not. I think both teams will score 1 or 2. As I have to put something down... 1-1.

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz - Looks like nuffle is with nj again this season, and are skilling up a bit, and even had a witch elf survive a game. But the orcs are stonk. I've already predicted two draws though, so... orcs 1-0.

The Mastercheesers vs A Fistful of Boomstick - 4-0 Skaven.

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz - oh dear, those lizards are skilling up and the underworld are not. That plus the fact they are naturally a better race... 3-0 lizards.

I wondered what was going on. Goodness me.


Punch Dummies vs Fables! – 1-2

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders – 1-3

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz – 2-0

The Mastercheesers vs A Fistful of Boomstick – 2-1

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz – 0-3

[DaigaroOgami]

Percy to do his too while he remembers; even if he still is slightly concussed from catching two bombs last night.

Punch Dummies vs Feebles! - Feebles win 3-1, and hopefully another wolf dies.

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders - Team Shrek murder the Bowies to seriously test Rav's patience - the ultimate insult coming when a snotling murders Berlin Bowie. 2-1 to the Bowies though.

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz - Ergh, filthy Elves. Argh, and NJ. 1-1 Draw, hopefully Elves die and Gerty doesn't.

The Masturbaters vs A Fistful of Boomstick - Barring some miracle mummy dodges its hard to not say a win for the self-lovers. At least one rat will die/get sacked though.

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz - Exactly when do we change our minds from being happy Idan's back to going 'Christ; he's gonna win the league!' 2-0 to Idan.

[Raveen]

Punch Dummies vs Fables! - 2-0 to Fables but a wolf gets mashed by a ball and chain.

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders - What's left of the Bowies is going to get another pasting. Lack of block and dodge is going to hurt but the job gets done 2-0 due to bonehead and Eldril. MVP goes to a loner inevitably.

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz - 2-1 to the Elves. The Orcs keep themselves happy by hurting a lot of stuff.

The Mastercheesers vs A Fistful of Boomstick - 3-0 to the Mastercheesers. La with a top tier team is a horrible prospect.

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz - Idan seems to have hit the ground running with these lizards. And underworld are, with the best will in the world, a bit rubbish. 2-0 to the Lizards.

[Idanmel]

Punch Dummies vs Fables! – 0-2

Team Shrek vs MarS Spiders – 1-2

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Orkly Ducklingz – 1-1

The Mastercheesers vs A Fistful of Boomstick – 4-1

The Nermal Distribution vs One Hit Wonderz – 0-2

Ogre-goblin possible contender for most d6 rolled in an RTBBL game? You can do it, coaches!

Well we gave it a good try.

Code: Select all

        D6   2D6  Block TOTAL
Goblins 104  130  71    305
Ogres   89    32  135   256
TOTAL   193  162  206   561


Numbers given are total dice rolled, not number of rolls (ie a 2D6 roll counts as 2 dice rolled). With the Goblins seemingly having to do 49 armour rolls it's a miracle they escaped with only 2 dead and a few badly hurt. I found it very hard to roll more than 7 on those 2D6. Mind you an awful lot of those 49 were self-inflicted (failed thrown goblins, failed dodges etc) so I can't take all the credit.
