OK. It´s a Saturday night and I am talking to coaches PaulHicks and Duckster49 - and the topic came up of a DMU - Dwarf Mangling Union.
Now this may sound daft (we were just chatting and taking the p**s out of dwarven teams), but we think it might be a good idea.
Why?
1.) Because we (and I especially) dislike dwarves - and it would be fun to turn the tide and see some teams opposing those brutal little bearded folk and crushing them - all the fouls you can use etc.
2.) For those that genuinly like dwarven teams and find it hard to obtain matches - well this could be a very good chance to increase those opportunities.
Just a thought, an idea - and I am not saying I am wanting to open it up - I would just like to see what kind of feedback there is. And of course if it did appear to be popular then.......well...then we could see about making a little something.
Thanks for listening guys and girls  |

I think its a great idea for the reasons you put.
However me and Golgomoth are already starting a skaven mangling union "to clean up the 1 turners" so im a bit concerned about every race ending up with one of these.
Saying that if we do start it count me in.

Keep sending in the franchise checks (10% of gross revenue please) and my lawyers won't have to call yours. |

Thats the best thing about it. It would be a real challenge and the dwarf coaches would want to play (unlike those cowardly elves).
Hmmmm i wonder if theres any elves out there wanna try their chance at revenge.
We should probably give them extra points  |

BunnyPuncher - as you are the founder of the EMU, why not, if you like the idea of the DMU or something similar - run it. I would certainly be there t help with all the details and I am sure PaulHicks also. Although i can imagine you are busy - just a thought though |

I would certainly like to help with any DMU league, there needs to be incentive for Teams to go maul dwarf teams and likewise if there was some 'Longbeard League" sure enough as whats been going on with Elves it could make it more fun.
As for Dwarfs themselves, well you'll never catch me playing em, i couldnt think of anything more painful than playing them.
We should however dedicate a trophy to the winner and name it after GHoffman13, the guy with only Dwarf teams. |

Maybe if anyone can give us ideas, for and against that might be helpful, we think its good cause it will certainly create a few extra games for the little guys atleast, though i'm hoping to encourage fouling the hell outa em too |

Great ... all we need are more excuses for the Lamers to foul on T8
<coach red> Why did you foul me in T8, the game was over?
<coach blue> Because i am a proud member of the "insert letter here"MU and I can be an ass because I get 5 points for it.
<coach red> What happened to just playing to win? |

Thats a fair point Mully but ive been playing and speccing EMU games all season and havnt seen a single turn 8 foul..... or turn 7 or realy 6 for that matter. If people are going to be jerks and foul on turn 8 then they deserve the reputation that they get but the mu's dont seem to cause them too. As for not playing to win thats rediculous cuz you get extra points for the win and i know ive tried to win all my EMU games (my lack of talent has been a hinderence) and so have the other coaches. Most of the games are in ranked and so affect coach rating and i doubt there are many of us who like losing anyway.
I can totaly understand why people dont like the MU's but do you realy think Dwarfs have anything to fear. Its almost impossible to hurt the lil' buggers anyway and i would think that most Dwarven coaches would actualy apreciate the chance to get games. This will be a mangling union for people who realy like a challenge (or like me are too stupid to realise the risks).
I was hoping that we would have a Dwarven Defense Leauge table or somthing similar to encourage the Dwarfs to realy try to humiliate us.
If your man (or woman) enough to set yourself a real task i urge you all to voice your interest here.
DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO HUNT DWARFS? |

Well mully I will say 2 things.
1.) I see that you only quote point 1 - the comment about dislike for dwarves. However, I do not see you adding any optomistic and approving comments of point 2 - and that is the opportunity to create more games for those that realy do like playing as dwarven teams. From there I guess and presume you are a very negative person.
2) I would not consider it polite to generalize (and name call) all people who use foul as "lamers". I wont go into the ins and outs of it.
So why dont you try a little construtive critiscm instead? |

i'll try to fix brackets in my schedule to accomodate all offers! First come first serve basis!
rsvp erm... me....
hehe... well to be honest, u know, i think it wouldn't be a very successful league... ;p

Lol you are probably right. The winning EMU coach this season has already broken 500 points (grats bud) whereas the winner of this season would have a challenge to break 100 in my opinion, especialy scince every dwarf would post the negative points. But thats the point.... even i can beat up elves. Its time to step up to a real challenge. Out of interest, why no orcs? |

Err.. because I don't even really run EMU any more?
Thus the franchise system... I have no problem with people appropriating my intellectual property as long as I get sent big bags of gold every month. Just play along or I'll have inquisitorpustus drop a smiley bomb all over this thread... and you don't want to see rainbow death on an epic scale!
All kidding aside.. have fun and do what you want! Just send me my imaginary bags of gold! Do you half any idea what an Elf Blood Fueled Cadillac costs to maintain every month?!? |
