Approximately never. The rules committee doesn't even exist any more, IIRC, and they thought this was a good idea for some reason. My poor trees. Smile



What made the rules committee legitimate in the first place? Were they sanctioned by GW? Or JJ? NAF?

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet (so many pages) but wouldn't moving Piling On to Agility Skills be an easy fix? Forces current CPOMBers to need a double. Buffs the Agility Skill selection which is just weaker than Strength. Would it buff Elves too much?

Some thorough testing would be needed, but it definitely -sounds- like a good idea !

How is PO agility related? Why would a catcher be skilled at jumping on a player and causing damage?

Skills are related to their access. Would pass be a good S skill?

Sure, lets make sure that not only do Elfs have the highest winning% but also get to dominate the bash game too...

lol...

Like a couple extra POMB elfs is going to make any difference.

Still, the solution isn't to address PO, it's to address claw. And make fouling a bit stronger...

Still curious to hear where all those winning elves are you keep referring to. Elves ain't winning shit these days, except in their own XFL Smile

Obviously that doesn't mean I think making PO an Agility skill is a good idea!

A quick check of your profile shows:
Dwarves: ~80% winning
Elves: ~50% winning

You keep saying this, but it's simply not true.

Well this is the clawpomb thread and all Elfs win more than Chaos and Nurgz at least.

Who knows what Cyanide or Ranked says. + U can break it down by TV like this for example - http://naf.talkfantasyfootball.org/lrb6.html

So Chaos and Nurgle are on Blood Bowl welfare? Cpomb-stamps? Very Happy

Look, I don't mind playing vs clawpomb, sure it makes some games dull as hell, but it also makes some games super tense and fun.

Since it's a thread about Clawpomb, why are you bringing up Elves at all?

The NAF results don't surprise me at all. Low TV Chaos and Nurgle have always sucked. Clawpomb only makes their TV sweet spot stronger, which is why this thread got started (that and QQ, my pixels died).



I do have a question about the stats though, how much of an impact does the high TV mirror matches between clawpomb teams skew the stats? Is there anyway to see just the win% for the clawpomb teams vs none clawpomb teams?

13.004 Chaos
8.134 Nurgle

4.066 Dark elf
3.900 Wood elf
2.399 High elf
2.047 Elf

Why do you think people doesn't play elves and just play the cpomb teams?

The problem is that there is no "official" owner of the rules that can change it.

Here's one I prepared earlier

That is just Box though. Where many don't waste skills on tackle. Wink

It is only "our" problem. Apparently everyone else is fine.

No one else is going to change the rules for us.
