"Iz gun a bit daark o'ver Bill's mother's ay it Craydlye?"

"Ar mayte, mite mek it a bir' 'ard to grab tha pig skin ay it?"

"Ar".

Clip form a conversation between Cradley Heath and Stourbridge towards the end of the first half before it started to rain.

Bruiser's still chasing their first win after gifting (quite literally) the Bowie's a 2-2 draw. The Bowies didnt have the best of it; apart from Berlin Bowie who's cocaine exploits fired him up rather impressively.

The Bruisers were very happy to have lots of Block.

No dwarves died this time; but a Bowie did (sad face) and another Bowie broke his own ribs; it would be great if it was the Man Who Fell To Earth wouldn't it?

Didn't start too well for the Lizardmen when the Skaven managed to strip the ball away from a Saurus. Rolling a 1 on their Wizard didn't do any good either.

You led 2-0 and I think the 1st half finished 2-1 in your favor. 2nd half was better as the Saurii and Krox learned how to intimidate the poor Skaven.

My favorable Skink, Bobby Mcferrin could have been the crowd's most valuable player after scoring 2 touchdowns and injuring a Skaven, but they decided that Big Mountain, captain and Krox, would be given the MVP after injuring 3.

Big Mountain has been working hard in training recently and has learned to use his strength to negate for poor agility (Break Tackle), while Bobby McFerrin managed to "convince" that sorry-excuse-for-a-wizard to teach him how to Side Step.

*Gandalf, I mistakenly uploaded the game a 2nd time, So I think you have to remove one of the uploads.

Hoho you love fixing Bugs though eh?

I've just realised I'll be driving in Newcastle during Storm Gerty. I hope she's gentler in real life....

Ohoh – had two good possible glitches in a row last night.

Turn 6 or so, a marked gutter runner gets up and as his first move dodges away from a saurus. Bear in mind that no one on Idan’s team had any level ups, so there was no Tackle on his side of the pitch.

The 2+ dodge fails, and it asks me to use a TRR (my last, I think…) – not a skill RR!

So then when he 2+ picks up and hands off the ball and the catcher in the EZ needs 2+, he rolls a 1… I can’t reroll it, turnover and presumably a lost TD.

EXCEPT:
Idan marks the ball with a skink in the EZ – I think he was trying to set up a chain push but turned over before he could.

So I go to pick up the ball in the skink’s tackle zone, needing a 2+ (big hand), aiming to blitz the skink off the pitch with a 2d block with block. Fails the pickup (can’t reroll thanks to previous glitch…), turnover, and then the ball bounces, and lands in the assisting gutter runner’s hands – he’s in the endzone, touchdown.

Because it's funny to waste the time of someone who has volunteered many hours of his own time to provide the community with a helpful & useful tool? ??? Comments like this are really dis-encouraging. If you don't want any more work done on BBDB, then please, carry on.

Oh Gandalf, it was a joke. I didn't mean to offend you, sorry.

The Spiders are licking their wounds but have at least managed to hire an apothecary so that'll maybe help one of the 5 or 6 injuries we sustain each match :)

If I can get block and dodge on people it'll help a lot. Shouldn't be too hard to spread the SPPs about either, I just need to keep them alive long enough to get a couple of skills.

The Mastercheesers are going into next season with 9 players... Last night they were covered in Lizards, which sounds like a horrible disease.

I'm not sure what happened here, just want to say that the reporting same game twice thingy is real.

Both La and I reported it and now it shows twice.

Wasn't able to make it today, unfortunately, although not sure if there were an odd # of people anyway for me to get a game going on.

We should get a proper game thread going with a schedule up! Also, id3, I think you still need to validate the Season 7 cup final, might as well do it now rather than next year. :P

Ah, makes sense. I don't think you can upload the same file name twice, the file name contains the date/time of the game. So you'd have to be really trying to break it for the same person to upload it twice.

La's PC, however, has a time 2 hours and 1 minute ahead of the actual time (?!?!) so it had a different name & he was able to upload it.

The proper solution to this is for users to not be stupid. Agree which one of you is uploading it, don't both do it. I can't put in a rule to stop this easily - perhaps you did play 2 games two hours and 1 minute apart. I'd have to check to see if your upload matched another one in its entirety... and I think that would add an unreasonable amount of time to the upload process. What I could do is incorporate a warning message if it looked similar to another one, but that's all, and it's a lot of extra work.

So I'll fix this one but for now put nothing in place to stop this happening again, and will cheerfully call anyone an idiot if they do this again. O0
