Season 4 - League Champions - The Mighty Undercheesers

[Raveen]

Welcome to Season 4 everyone. Grizzled veterans and grizzled rookies alike are lining up to take each other out!

Admin:

I've changed the name of the old Season 3 league in Blood Bowl to "Rolling Thunder BBL Season 4" so if you're a new team you'll need to find that in the client and apply, if you have an old team you'll need to remove them from the league first. The password is Palmtree.

There is a BBM League created - RT BBL Season 4 - Pw = Palmtree

There is also an overall BBM league called RT BBL (Pw= Palmtree). I want to use this to record all our games from all seasons so we have a record of past teams and players. So for all future games please submit the match to both leagues. For past games you'll need to watch the game in a replay before submitting it. obviously that's optional but it'd be nice to have a complete record.

Welcome Sportsfans, after the explosive climax to season 3 the Rolling Thunder Blood Bowl League is back!

The league will be standard scoring and is sponsored by the Bomber Dribblesnot Appreciation Society who have been tempted to this competition by the regular appearance of their hero and his wonderful talent at self combustion.

The RT Cup is sponsored by Orcidas who are going to select the 8 best rushing teams to compete in a knockout competition after the league phase is complete.

There will be 10 teams competing this season making this the most exciting Rolling Thunder Blood Bowl competition ever! Let's meet these proud and noble warriors of the gridiron.

First up there's The Mighty Undercheesers, a motley gang of Skaven and Goblins promoted by the Underworld Warpstone Syndicate.

Next we have a new team recently arrived from the frozen north. Stagocalypse are here to celebrate apparently.

The Cangurus are back to motivate us all into playing a more beautiful game.

Also returning are The Pinewood Carrions who are still trying to pick up the ball with any sort of reliability.

The Everglade Wanderers are back from a sponsorship tour of the Auld World and are ready to take on all comers.

If you're disturbed by an unpleasant smell that might be Eballa a Nurgle team from the Southlands beyond the Land of the Dead.

The Orkly Ducklingz were tempted to retire and start a mushroom farm but unfortunately their troll ate the entire smallholding before they made a single sale so they're back for another year's hard grind on the pitch!

They're short, they're beardy and they have a hangover! That's right, The Brewers Brawlers are back after a season long bender in Bretonnia.

We're also hearing reports of disturbances in the local graveyards, who knows what will emerge?

Rav - I can't see RT Cup Season 4 in-game. I can see season 2 & 3 though. Maybe a mention about the Wood Elves being the only champions in the competition? :p

A reminder that we'd like to be a bit more accurate with who everyone is playing this year. So if you can't make it on Sunday evening, try to post here before the Friday if possible. Though we understand if things crop up occasionally, or if you need to delay by 10-20 minutes (especially those of us who are parents).

Also - me vs. undead on the first match!!! Andy, get thinking about what to spend your 690k of inducements on

[Raveen]

You're playing Wyld, Gandalf...

[Wyld Karde]

Papa Nurgle says 'Hi' >:D

[Gandalf]

Well.... it's still 690k of inducements :p

[Raveen]

First two posts updated with important information. For those who need to add their teams you'll have to apply - this might take multiple goes because the Blood Bowl client is flaky as hell.

Gandalf and I have management rights so can accept applicants.

So if we are keeping the same team we don't have to do anything in the client?


edit: I forget - do we actually have to join the league, or just upload the games to it (in BBM)?

That is correct.

edit: I forget - do we actually have to join the league, or just upload the games to it (in BBM)?

You just upload the games after you've played. On that subject can you talk Andy through the process on Sunday so he's not completely confused by the whole thing?

[lawastooshort]

Probably, yes - in any case I could just upload it so that he has less faffing for his first game and then explain BBM the next time.

Hey, how do I join the league? I've got a drop-list with only 5 public leagues and can't find anywhere to search private.

Edit: Scrap that I'm an idiot. The Tomb Army has entered the building.

The interface is pretty bad in places. Don't feel stupid for asking. I've accepted your team.

Eballa, Stagocalypse, "Ident's Necros" (seriously? THIS is your team name?) and The Brewers Bashers still to enter.

Also I noticed that my wood elves are actually in their 3rd season, not second. So us & the dwarves are the old men. Though my team is worth a lot more (his lineup has scored 6 TD's and 8 passes, mine 22 TD's and 27 passes...). Wood elves vs. Pro elves in week 2 should be passtastic.

I'm really interested in how the massive inducements are going to work out, and having more strong teams should be very interesting.

Also, I'm saluting lawastooshort right at the start, for having the only tier 3 team here. Much respect.

"Ident's Necros" (seriously? THIS is your team name?).

No, it's not - I haven't told anyone my team name yet.

Raveen, my team will be called Fables!

[Raveen]

That was always a place holder until a proper team emerged from the recently covered graves.
