Im all for abolishing STARS but I am only 1 vote. If enough members agree here I will put it to a group vote.

Abolish stars and wizards. (yes wizards too).

They favour the armor-heavy sides and make it possible to win based almost solely on the star. The count springs to mind.

If it were to come to a vote...I would vote KEEP the stars. But make them be declared same as a Wizard so oponent has a chance to make a move too if they can.

Actually I think you are 100% wrong about the wizards. If anything they heavily favor the elves. What is likely to knock down more players, a fireball vs AG4 or a fireball vs AG2. Its the best way for elf teams to break up dwarf and Khemri cages.

ie - not a chance I am scuffing the wizards.

I think wizards should definitely stay for the reasons Mully gave.

Stars? Well with the Count I got to last season's final and I have Really Stupid as one of my coach skills, so I can understand if people want to get rid of them.

On the other hand they certainly add a bit of variety and how often do dwarves, chaos dwarves or orcs use/need stars (apart from the odd Nobbla who I wouldn't call a game-breaker)? The Orca-Cola Series has no stars and there is only ONE elf team in the top 20. Stars or not, it seems elves just wanna play elfbowl...

I´ll elaborate a bit on my statement then.

With AV-heavy sides (CD, Dorf, Orc, Chaos to some extend) chances are that you won´t be losing many players (especially with the hard restrictions to damage-inducing skill) and thus will generate extra cash (for stars and wizards). Elves/skaven - normally - won´t have that option in a fixed environment.

So, while i agree that elves are more likely to benefit from using a wizard, i think the reality is that they will not be able to afford it. But the bashy teams will, adding another weapon (albeit a less-than-optimal one) to their arsenal. Especially when thay cannot use their money on Star players. that is why i think that the abolishment of stars also should lead to the abolishment of wizards. But i´ll agree on whatever the majority decides, it´snot a major issue.

Don´t change anything that work is what I think. Blutballas have been one of the tourneys who have worked very well, especially with the restrictions we have.

So my vote goes to keep both stars and wizards.

Come on coaches - do you have what it takes to win the Blutballas Cup? Prove it!

Only a couple more coaches needed so we can start the new season.
