Pre-season 9 thread

[Raveen]

I may not be able to play this weekend either so can you pair Dave and I up?

[id3nt1ty]

I believe Dave got rejected at the wall and had to drive home again, but I might be misunderstanding the link between today's events and his weekend plans.

[DaigaroOgami]

I totally did get rejected at the Wall; but I'm having another attempt at it on Friday morning.

So yes, pair up me and Rav for his easy 'Ive got too much block against a team with none' first match of the season.

Oh and La, A Plague of One's on you. Filthmonger.

[lawastooshort]

Thanks dude! My dice were so bad in last season's critical key dice decision moment times that a plague of ones would be an improvement.

You knows it.

[Gandalf]

la's comment at the weekend of "your face is a critical moment" was the top put-down of last season for me.

[Idanmel]

Hey guys,
Been a busy bee trying to learn delicious stuff like HTML, CSS and hands on WordPress things.

I'm thinking of taking a new Amazon team.

[id3nt1ty]

So next season is looking like this... ("new" means it's their first competition, not that they have played 0 matches)
La = Vampires
Gandalf = Nurgle
Daigaro = Khorne (new)
id = Underworld (new)
Abom = Goblins
Red Lion 3 = Undead (new)
Raveen = Norse (new)
Idanmel = Amazon
Moose = ? not playing?

Cool, web technologies are fun!

[Gandalf]

If la's Vampires I don't mind staying Nurgle. Both teams will have ST4 guys with block and some weird-ass skills.

Quick, make the draw permanent before la changes his mind AGAIN...

[id3nt1ty]

Nah, it's gives him something to think about instead of work and it's only Tuesday. Knowing that it would be mean of me to lock it down before 4:30 on Friday afternoon.

Has anyone heard from Moose?

[DaigaroOgami]

I haven't - I got the impression from his last comment was he was taking a season off to sort his tinterwebs out, but he's not confirmed either way.

[id3nt1ty]

Oh yes, he did say something like that after his game with la.

[Red Lion Three]

Idanmel - good choice! See if you can beat my season 7 record of 5 consecutive league draws!! (Though that was with a second-season Amazon team.)

[lawastooshort]

Quick, make the draw permanent before la changes his mind AGAIN...

I think I'll have most fun with Vampires, they're silly.

Although I think I'm forgetting how stressful it is having to think as much as Vampires requires.


And we don't want two Norse teams now do we. All that Block early on is a git.

[id3nt1ty]

I'm thinking of taking a new Amazon team.

Well, if you feel like you need to get a friendly in before the League starts, I'd be up for one too. I'd like to start the league with at least one two-heads gobbo

Yeah... bloodlust and hypnotic gaze are pretty brain-burning. If you stick with the vampires and I have my Nurgle then we'll have the #1 and #2 teams from Season 6 back again (not that it was close - there was 6 points between them).

I was looking at the BBDB link for our S6 game last night. Seems I cut a bloody swathe through your team, but you won 2-0 anyway. That is my vague recollection of the Vampires... all that ST4-AG4 blodging is nigh unstoppable unless bloodlust becomes an issue.

And we don't want two Norse teams now do we. All that Block early on is a git.

Well, Rav's Norse lineup does have the maximum number of players who don't start with block. And my Nurgle team has almost as much block/wrestle as a starting Norse team anyway :p
