that's a Horseshit reason
These must be the same idiots that have no interest in what the FUMBBL admins and Skijunkie are doing.

To my mind, [...] aesthetic considerations are every bit as important as the game rules - or to put this another way, Blood Bowl's enduring appeal is not only that it is a great game to play, but also that it is supported by a range of characterful miniatures and has a unique 'tongue-in-cheek' background. The old Undead team failed to do two of these three things, but the new Undead teams acheive all three. And that, in a nutshell, is why I changed them.

Jervis' words also came up when talking to Babs, he still seems sure that they won't can vanilla undead since he and quite a few other rules reviewers are aginst them going...
also he mentioned with experimental teams becoming official, they have to remain officially experemental for a year unchanged before they can be considered to become official. That way they can be thoroughly tested. This in mind necromantic teams have been changed in the last few months (break tackle removed from flesh golems) so by that logic they won't become official... which means undead will probably be here for at least another year.
however the BBRC havn't met yet, anything can happen but word from Babs is things are looking good for the undead. |

So that works exactly the same way as IGMEOY then. It just means instead of having a 1 in 6 chance of being banned from the IGMEOY roll, you have a 1 in 6 chance of being banned from the armour roll. This is perfectly understandable.

Isn't that what the dX division has been for? I thought what FUMBBL had been doing was acting on behalf of GW as a testing bed, which is why Christer et al never allowed any non-GW races into dX. Thus GW will be perfectly justified in canning undead. |

Not the same, because the ref's eye never goes on anyone. It is the same as when he does not have his eye on you, yes, but it is like that for all fouls throughout the game.

They have not been running unchanged for a year IIRC, so by that logic they will not become official yet. |
