Very Early Season 8 Thread

[Idanmel]

Yeah, these little dwarfs made a long pass, caught it and went for a touchdown!
Also, they killed Kaoma...

May he rest in peace

A question: If I don't replace Kaoma, which journeyman do I get, a Skink or a Saurus?

[Gandalf]

Oooh and the dwarf who made the pass also got MVP and so levels up! A silver lining...

Though given both teams had a player killed I do wonder if this friendly actually helped or hindered the two teams....

[DaigaroOgami]

As for next season - still not sure between these new dwarves (need another friendly) or just bringing back the Ducklingz to see how long it takes for someone to kill Gerty.

[Raveen]

Journeymen are always the 0-16 position so it'll be a skink. The only exception is Undead because they have two 0-12s instead of the standard 0-16.

MA7 dwarf now ay 'e Cradley Heath.

But yes; more death = another crappy start to a new team.

[DaigaroOgami]

Been shunted to Newcastle this evening - so in protest I'm making work pay for some super internet for the evening

Anyway, morale of the story is I'll be up for a friendly if anyone's about.

Bostin' ay it.

[Raveen]

If my family cooperates I'll be on between 8 and half past to start a game. If...

My vampires lost a vampire in their first friendly, if I recall.

[Raveen]

And everybody laughed and laughed and then lost to the remaining 3 vamps anyway.

bringing back the Ducklingz

Ha Rav, you just beat me to that one!!!

Re: early setbacks, The Wanderers took quite a beating in their early days too. I mean, they've apparently had 3 of their players killed, but I can't remember any of my players dying so it must've been in the early days. Also BBM shows their TV taking a dip early on.

Of all the stats around that team, I think the most unbelievable one is that the have killed more players than they have had killed...

edit: apparently the Skaven killed one of my players (lv2 lineman) in our last match together. But I killed a rat too so it's all good.

Journeymen are always the 0-16 position so it'll be a skink. The only exception is Undead because they have two 0-12s instead of the standard 0-16.

Which is why losing Saurii to injury/death can be such a PITA for a Lizards team - as skinks cannot in any way fulfil the Sauriis role as Bulwark.

Hey Idan, if you want to be Wall ''o' texted - have a look at my strategy guide for how I played Lizards......

Of course your mileage may very, but that's more or less what I did every game...

[Idanmel]

Thanks NJ,
I'll be available for a game tonight as well.

[Gandalf]

I may or may not be around at about 8:30 to make up the numbers if there are an odd number around.

[lawastooshort]

Oof. Skaven throw away a 2-0 halftime lead to lose 3-2 to Idan's Lizards! The terribleness of my second half play was only matched by the goodness of Idan's.
