ps: give me your estimation of standings!!!!!! |
Thank you, I was waiting for your post :)
I'll only comment on a couple of teams that I'm familiar with:
Bonefive: Lost both blitz-ra's (surehands/kick/dp and stripball/tackle/mb) to aging in the playoffs, which sucks. Rebuild time.
Four turtles and a rat!: Isn't anyone else scared to death by that minotaur? I am. ST 6 and frenzy on a blitz should take blodgers down.
Ravenous for destruction: Them bull centaurs are annoying buggers. Beware.
One vote for Killers of the Dead winning the celestial division, Dodge Druids winning the season and Eshin's Dagger suffering the most. Just a feeling I have.

I am curious about one thing... I want to know if: The opponent is drawn randomly and in that case when? As soon as the player count is reached or??? In chat, or do we HAVE to trust you  hehehe |

... Let's not rub in the fact IO lost shall we...
1st block of the game, one of Bonefive's mummys was sent to the SI box, only to pull himself back together and climb back into the reserves. A bad kick from Bonefive was only bad from my point of view, it landed right by the centreline, away from my players.
Another SI suffered (by me this time), another regen... things were looking good. However, by half time it was 2-0 down and just 3 players left for the Bits. We then conceded 2 more, but did manage to cause a death (regened) and then score a consolation touchdown with the speedy mummy.
An unfortunate result, but that's what happens when players leave the pitch in 5 star.
Also, of all the kick offs, one was changing weather, the rest were all bad kicks!!! |

As soon as we reach 8 coaches, I click to create a new division and the website randomly creates the schedule. |

WOW. meteorite is looking a bit uneven at the moment. 3 games played in round 1 and scores are 5-0, 5-1 and 5-2.
Having won my first i am glad to see i next face one of the loosing teams and i have even more skills now too.
Let me know when you are ready for another beating captain and i will try to make round 2 look like a bit like round 1 for us  |

Is there anyone that has sceduled a game for this night (server time) like after midnight... I try to spectate the gamees whenever I can, but hard when not knowing when you guys play.... Why don't post here when you agreed to play a game, so the rest of us can watch the madness. Probably creates some good publicity also ! ! !  Good publicity means at least two more teams join in and I can play! |

Well I just came to think about it. Worth it? Not worth it?
Good question. I rolled 11 and had choice between Guard (useless in my game style) multi-block (useless too) break tackle and pilling on.
I tought about pîlling on but it cost you a blitz to get up at that cost a lot. Ok injurys are good but I need that rat ogre to act.
So +AG or break tackle? break tackle gives me chance to dodge to blitz and that's good but I saw that usually, I tend to play second half at 4. So sometimes, the RO gets the only option to catch up ball. On a defensive end too. with 4 or 5 moves to do. Imagine a loose ball and you are defending. just try the pick up with RO-> AG3 ->3+
Succes->you must knock him down to score (hard with the few assists possible at 5 guys)
Miss->he still brings TZ and prehensible tail.
I really thought about it for a long time before taking that +AG and opted for it because of the format of the league. |

Yay, we have an ogre team in the queue! I can't wait to see how they perform.
I am still waiting for the first Rotters and Halflings to show up.
Rotters wouldn't have to worry about no apoth since ALL five players would have regen, foul appearance and AV 9! Ok, I have to admit they'd be even slower than Khemri and just as lousy at handling the ball, but movement and agility didn't stop my Khemri from winning last season.
Halflings. Two trees would own the LoS and with all the extra cash (higher average winnings since TR tends to be low with only 5 players) their chef would have lots of ingredients. Never mind the halflings themselves, they're cheap to replace.
Any takers?

No, certainly not!
I don´t think you can afford all rotters in a rookie team, and we have enough Undead/Khemri teams and BG, that could take care of ST4. And AG2 only with MA4?? No thanks.
With halflings, you are right in your points, but who will score? I think the opposition doesn´t need too many turns to remove the flings from the field. Usually you play flings with a roster of 14-16 players and make use of fouling. Both, higher player numbers and fouling is not allowed or recommended in 5 star.
But, it could be fun, to play the flings........

2 Undead and 3 Khemri (+1 Ogre) out of 39 isn't much. Every other team is Skaven.
And I don't think Undead would have much of an advantage if any at all - two ST 5 and three ST 3 players (with lower AV) vs one ST 5 and four ST 4. Chaos and Lizardmen (and Orcs, sure) can also field a BG and four ST 4 players, but this is where foul appearance kicks in and gives the advantage to the Rotters.
Tentacles on the beast helps a little with the movement problem, usually the fastest opponents are also the weakest. FA means your opponent can strip the ball away from you (if they can) but they can't pass/hand it away out of your reach as they'd prefer to do. Use your first doubles for big hand and things are looking good. So the MA/AG problem isn't quite as bad as it looks. Bad, but not impossible :)
You are correct about the rookie team, a full lineup of rotters and a beast would leave you with 1 reroll and 1 fan - not good at all.
Still, I'd try them if I'd have to start a fresh team (and if I didn't already have another team of Rotters in ranked) just to see if they're capable of anything ;)
