Details of their initial implementation here: http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=7455.

Quick summary:
- TV+ used to match
- Pools of 2 minutes (with unmatched teams gaining priority in later pools)
- Inducement calculations aren't using TV+ yet (but they're looking at adding it)
- Lots of emphasis on it being easily tweakable by them depending on results

2 minutes is not long enough. I've posted data here already and it won't make much of a difference except at peak hours (EU evenings).

Yes, it sounds like they heard all the kerfuffle so've gone really conservative - I'm not sure anyone will notice anything's changed except for an hour or two a day.

I find the notion that they will do pairings on TV++ but calculate inducements on TV to be interesting.

It seems kind of pointless at first glance, but the unintended (I assume) consequences of it are fascinating to me.

Kinda brings us back to matching with TS and getting handicaps based on TR Razz

Oh god, it's going to be horrible. zSum can go negative, which makes sense. Unfortunately concessions count as a loss in the system...

I don't know why that picture's in my shack, but they do look pretty much exactly like every Norse miniature team out there...

Seems only fair considering the massive amount of soft porn amazon teams out there for the fellas.

It's a pretty good look I think. We could rename this thread to 'Wuhan's popped back'.

Yarr! I'm a lurking in yer forums. Nah, I've been addicted to playing Mordheim City of the Damned. Been playing it for what Steam says is 300+hrs.

Been 6 months since I played a game of BB2. Played one today to check out the Norse, opponent conceded T6, after I got the ball and was going to walk it for the 2nd TD.

He was playin' Norse and only had 4 ko's and 0 cas.

The coding for the game is fine no complaints. Except it is completely unplayable when your opponent concedes on your turn.

The Norse do a bit of body building poses after they score.
