For any of you interested the game of the tournament has just happened. I doubt it will be beaten.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD BOWL AWARD WINNER

Thomas_Edison (Undead) vs. Supersheep (Undead)

supersheep · « **Reply #103 on:** 18 Jun 2009, 17:47 »

Did You Know: In the Undead Derby in PJJE East, the first and last plays resulted in the only fatalities of the game - and both say a new zombie join the opposing team! Emily of Pretty Cupcakes was taken out by the second block, while Nehekhara Nasties star player Billy Long-legs was beaten to death with the ball by Lilly while attempting to prevent her scoring. Six other casualties were taken in the game, with both coaches heard shouting at times "Get into them! FORGET THE BALL!"

Good news Blood Bowlers!

Apparently they got rid fo Unranked entirely, and all Unranked teams are now LEAGUE! Academy Teams can now switch to League. This means all of our old teams can be brought back and your academy teams are no longer useless heaps of dog shit. I personally plan on using 2 or 3 teams again. This also means our future tourneys can hav e alot more flexibility in what teams to use.

The crowd was sorely dissapointed with the matchup between Lunch B and Muppet's Vengeance tonight with an unfortunate series of blocks and lack of blood on the pitch!

The Angry Mummies of the Muppet's apparently thought they were in a mosh pit and were really doing nothing but pushing people around like fucking pansies and the few skellies that got seriouly hurt had the gall to regen like the inconsiderate bastard they are. Even Muppet's 3 attempts at fouling Werewolves of all things only ended up being little love taps with no successful fouls and no one even having the dignity to do it obviously enough to get caught! It ended on a draw and possibly in what is very likely to be the most dissapointing match of the season!

Edit: This just in, dissapointment from fans has caused comments such as "Even the Elves and the Amazons had a bloodier game than this!". We tried to get comments from Waldorf on the situation but he instead killed our field reporter. We have accepted this as a "no comment".

ackblom12 · « **Reply #106 on:** 19 Jun 2009, 17:17 »

Also also, in case you were ever wondering, this is what the pitch looks like when an entire team has been eliminated.

Needed to bump the thread so i'm posting this instead of altering the other one.

Shield Playoffs are now OPEN!!!

Get started ASAP and good luck brave bbowlers.

One of our more murderous players has produced some great logos for us that we will be using from now on. Thomas_Edison (Ryan) has produced these images for the East and West conferences:

A big hand to him for this hard work. (He is currently working on logos for the Trophy and Shield playoffs)

ackblom12 · « **Reply #110 on:** 25 Jun 2009, 00:26 »

Just to bring this up, the PC version of Cyanide's Blood Bowl game came out today and from what I've played thus far, I highly recommend it.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #111 on:** 25 Jun 2009, 22:10 »

We have our first finalist after Muppet's Revenge beat Treekeepers both literally and 3 - 2 over 2 games.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #112 on:** 27 Jun 2009, 14:12 »

To go with our excellent conference logos we now have a fantastic trophy one aswell.

So good luck to the winner of 'Ette's vs. Lunch B and Muppet's Revenge who will have the chance to win this fine, fittingly blood-soaked trophy.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #113 on:** 28 Jun 2009, 13:31 »

With Lunch B unable to play their games and ultimately forfeiting 'Ette's were given a bye into the final.

PJJE TROPHY FINAL

Muppet's Vengeance 2 - 0 'Ette's

Game 1: 0 - 0
Game 2: 2 - 0

PJJE TROPHY FINAL WINNERS

Muppet's Vengeance

Since he didn't manage to kill any of my Amazons I consider it a victory of sorts.

Not the kind that counts of course.

Wait until next time!!!!!!!!

ackblom12 · « **Reply #115 on:** 30 Jun 2009, 13:12 »

Added this image to the OP becasue it will be the msot useful thing you can possibly memorize in the beginning stages of learning the game. Thank ya Eric and shame on us all for not doing this earlier!

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #116 on:** 08 Jul 2009, 15:50 »

Bump to remind people that there are games still to be played before the inaugural PJJE tourney is over.

Next tourney is likely to be all-elf. More information about this as and when it happens.

negative creep · « **Reply #117 on:** 22 Jul 2009, 10:39 »

Regarding any future tournaments: Starting this week I can play every day for about three months. After that, not so much. So if it is in any way possible, i'd appreciate it if the new tournament could start pretty soon!

Hey, guys.

JD · « **Reply #119 on:** 28 Jul 2009, 22:15 »

That's a 50 dollar game though.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #120 on:** 28 Jul 2009, 22:52 »

It's a $50 awesome fucking game.

Also, the latest patch fixed some of the bigger issues like Secret Weapons not leaving the field properly and blitzing from the ground being fixed.

CardinalFang · « **Reply #121 on:** 29 Jul 2009, 03:11 »

But you should all sign up for FUMBBL if you haven't yet and those that have should play more often.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #122 on:** 29 Jul 2009, 15:13 »

I agree with Eric's sentiment. However, i put forward that Eric himself should play more, eh?

For anyone wanting to join don't forget the QC BBowl Meebo room linked in the first post and to get the password just send one of the regulars a PM.

If you are planning on joining to play in one of our tourneys it would be worthwhile to get a couple of games in beforehand and if anyone would like a teaching game i am around most nights from 21:00 to 01:00 GMT/BST.

Whoah, BloodBowl on the QC forums? Nice!

I've been playing this game for about a decade now - not sure I'd want to join fumbbl since after learning 5th edition, 4th edition rules make me sad. I'm on the new PC game from Cyanide though, if anyone thinks of starting a league there.

Come join us in the wonderful world of fumbbl. We have our own group there and have just finished running our first tourney.

The plan is to have another at the end of august, likely to be an all-elf affair. Even if you don't want to participate in tourneys feel free to join us in the qc bbowl meebo room, just PM a regular for the password.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #128 on:** 16 Aug 2009, 19:00 »

ATTENTION: This thread is rising from the dead like a Khemri Mummy.

Guess what folks? That's right, its tourney sign-up time again.

This time we will be playing all-elf and are hoping to start from one week today.

If you are interested in playing please make a note in this thread and the final arrangements will be made next week. No teams are necessary to be made until such teams are decided.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #129 on:** 16 Aug 2009, 19:05 »

Fantastic, I'm in of course. My schedule should also be much more convenient this time around with me being home by 8pm EST most nights.

Hey, how about an all Amazon tourny?

I kid! I kid!

snalin · « **Reply #132 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 04:54 »

Hey, thread!

Yesterday a couple of friends introduced me to this, I judged their training game (not sure if this is needed when you do it online). I'll read through the thread and join up later today. Bad part is that they played with house rules, so I'm guessing there will be differences. The game I saw was Undead vs. Wood Elf, Undead owning because of a team with tons more experience than the other one.

CardinalFang · « **Reply #133 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 04:58 »

They may have been using LRB5 whereas FUMMBL uses LRB4. Although there are differences the basic gameplay is the same so I don' think it'll be a problem.
The_Pied_Piper (aka Rob) is our official TEACHER OF THE GAME although any of us would be glad to help you out.

Nope! It is not too late.
Welcome aboard!

Merrick · « **Reply #137 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 18:21 »

So, I'm gonna need an Elf team? Any kind of Elf?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #138 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 18:24 »

As far as I know we've made no limitations on it. If they prance like an elf (or stab like a Dark Elf) they're good.

Merrick · « **Reply #139 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 18:29 »

Stabby stabby!

Erm...I should enter mine under 'League' right?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #140 on:** 20 Aug 2009, 18:33 »

Yup make it League and we'll invite all the time this weekend

ATTENTION!

Those people interesting in the tourny please meet in the BB Meebo room at 1800 GMT-5 tomorrow (8/22) and we will get this thing organized!
Don't worry if you can't be there though. We will do our best to make sure that those people who aren't there aren't penalized. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

No seriously, it's okay. We'll take care of you.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Woo yeh woo!

Bring it.

snalin · « **Reply #144 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 14:40 »

18 at GMT-5 is 24 at GMT+1. I really want in, but there's no chance I can start playing later than 22ish (16:00 ECT), so if that leaves me out, I guess I'll have to live with that. Unless you're matching Europe against Europe first. I'll probably loose early anyway.

CardinalFang · « **Reply #145 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 15:31 »

Nah, we were just doing the draw tonight. You are still in!
As a matter of fact you need to make a High Elf team. Don't forget to make it a League team!

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #146 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 15:42 »

The next tourney teams have been designated (some presumptions about possible players were made so if your name is here and you can't play please say so; or vice versa even and we will sort it out for you).

High Elf Players (Snobbies): Johnny C, Snalin, Allde, Sam
Wood Elf Players (Woodies): Merrick, Supersheep, Thomas_Edison, E.Spaceman
Dark Elf Players (Nasties): ackblom12, loco_banana, Jeans, Cardinal_Fang
Pro Elf Players (Pros): the_pied_piper, negative_creep, Christophe, Storm Rider

Only restrictions on these designated teams are that they must have an FF of 7 or more so as not to handicap the chance of a decent payout for both players.

Other decisions on tourney setup are still being decided but if you could prepare your team to be able to play by Monday 24th August it would be much appreciated.

Aside from this all i can do is wish everyone a bloody Bbowl tourney and good luck.

EDIT: Please remember to make your teams in League divison.

Merrick · « **Reply #147 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 15:45 »

I have wood!

Ok, I'll leave now.

supersheep · « **Reply #148 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 15:47 »

My ability to play is uncertain - depends on whether the internet is working in my house tomorrow. If not, I might be able to do it, but I'll have to fix times and futz things about and all that malarkey. Anyways, I should know by early Monday (GMT) whether I can rock this or not.

Johnny C · « **Reply #149 on:** 22 Aug 2009, 22:16 »

This week is actually futzed for me if we're doing evenings. Sorry!
