O....M....G!!!! This thread is still going?!?!

Forgive my ignorance (as there is plenty of it) but it seems these 19 pages all simply started from because Zombie got railed by elves... now a 6-0 spankin' and the same casualties must have dented his pride and ego beyond repair and so for this i forgive him for posting such a silly thread. Although i had to giggle that he got beaten by a team made around transformers and they were woodies! He even has Megatron as a linesman and Cybertron (a world!!) as a player for gods sake!! Shocked

WHY IS THIS THREAD STILL ALIVE?!?!? Kill it... KILL IT NOW!!

Fun is slipping on a tutu and dancing down the middle of Main Street singing "Im a little teapot short and very stout".

This is more like Adam Sandler comedy...

Besides, don't elves have the wish to show they're better than everybody else, and would like to show everyone how its done - hence, unless they're royalty, would play anyone to show that they are superior in every respect (that's if you want to play according to fluff though... and in the spirit of the game...)


LRB 4.0 - page 21:
Did you know...
The High Elf team, the Dragon Princes, was made up exclusively of Elf Princes and High Lords, and were so haughty and proud that they refused to play anyone who was not of equal rank. Consequently they never got to play anyone at all, and were disbanded after five seasons without playing a single match!


So.... the answer to your comment is "no" Smile


i did say, unless they were royalty... which the Dragon Princes were/are ; )

If there's a problem with the "elf bowling" concept, then they, meaning the designers and play testers, should tighten up on the over abuse of fouling in BB, table top & online. Simply by making fouling an automatic ejection from the game for the player doing the fouling, that would make coaches who rely alot on fouling to actually have to use more strategy in order to win. But I don't see that rules change coming any time soon. It sucks, but for some people winning is everything and they'll always find a way to give themselves an advantage, even if it means being a bit shady in order to do it. This is just my opinion.

Elf coaches don't avoid bashers/foulers because they're difficult to beat …
