Worst day ever
The sun was setting behind the trees as the Great Gobbo sat in front of the two new headstones. Grim Toejam and Nasty Eyepokka both killed in the same day. Gone. He took a hit from his bottle of moonshine. Gone. Like the changing shed that had burned down. Like the only ball they had, blown to smithereens. Like all the other poor lads who lay buried in this cemetery. All Gone. Another hit of moonshine. Gone, and for what? Two pathetic wins? What was the point? A tear rolled down his cheek as he took another swig. I should never have bothered, I should have just let people think that goblins were useless, instead I've gone and proven it! He shivered, it was getting cold now the sun had set, better take another swig. Death seemed to be stalking the Green Tide at the moment. As well as Eyepokka two more rookies had been killed in the game and the subject was on everybody's lips: who's next? Who's next? Doesn't matter. Another gulp of moonshine. We are all going to die anyway, may as well end the suffering now. Was it really only two days ago they were both laughing at me for having a bucket stuck on my head? He shuts his eyes and slowly crumples over. Nigel pads over and gives each tombstone a tender lick before eating the half empty bottle of moonshine and its contents. Gently, ever so gently like a mother crocodile with her newborn, she picks up the unconscious Great Gobbo with her mouth and carries him home, back to the cave. She lays him on the floor by the fire. He looks smaller and older she thinks. She settles down next to him wondering what the future holds for herself, the Great Gobbo and the Green Tide.

This is how I see the Great Gobbo responding:

The BB world is a greyer place. All our teams will be wearing black armbands when they play today

Sir, you need to switch up da plan my man. The tide is getting rolled because you are playing against to many elf teams. They chew you up and spit you out. I know you think since they lack MB that they are softer but they are not. Their AG4 is leaving your gobos in the dust and you have not shot once the ball is kicked off.

I checked your VS record and you avoid the teams you have a shot to beat like the plague.

You need to take on Chaos teams, Orc teams, undead teams, more stunty matches and why are you avoiding Khemri?

You can find on GF all those teams in abundance and a lot of them lack MB all over the squad. Sure they have AV8 or AV9, sure they have some guys with ST4+ BUT they do not have AG and you can actually move the ball against them with some success and a chance to score.

Elves will keep running circles around you and shut your team down.

Sir, if you like to play against a team where the odds aren't always in the favour of your opponent play ogres. You should have a fair chance to win. By the way I have a nice ogre-team in ranked :)

Your blogs have been amazing, and while I havent had the joy of facing the Tide yet, I hope I will some day.

Hopefully the malaise is in-character only.

I think Painstate has a good point, you need to go asymmetric.

Low TV Chaos and Khemri stink man. Challenge down against those teams when you see they have not developed any killers yet.
Posted by liquidorange on 2014-10-24 22:25:37
PainState is dead on. Low TV chaos and khemri are the way to go. You can stomp them when they're down and run circles around (and through) them when they're up.

Time to tell the General Manager to make some scheduling changes.
