It still needs some work to make it as a Did you know, but it has promise... If nobody else has the inspiration to spice it up a bit, I will look at it when I find the time.

Not only was Titchy the first (and still the only) hobgoblin to record a Larson, but he was on a team of just 11 hobgoblins... and completed his Larson in his team's debut match - and completely in the first half, at that, giving him quite possibly the fastest Larson ever recorded. Of course, he's never come close to repeating that performance, but a Larson is a career's worth of accomplishments for any hobgoblin anyway!
(extra details for checking/comparing accomplishments - the team was [R] at the time, and moved to [U] in the restructure. Interception came on turn 3, with a defensive casualty on opponnent's turn 4, touchdown turn 4. The opponent 1-turned, then Titchy missed a pass turn 5, and the opponent 1-turned again. He made the pass in turn 6 for the 6-turn Larson, or 4 consecutive turns (each turn was the full turn, both teams). The match ended in a 2-2 tie, thanks to Titchy throwing the ball away to his opponents. |

***Did you know...Amun the Devourer, playing in the Orca-Cola cup series, managed a Larson in the first round; the first time on record that a mummy had managed this feat. When the announcers preferred one of his ghoulish teammates for MVP, Amun quietly went out and managed a second Larson in the very next game. This time, it was impossible to overlook the winning TD in overtime, and Amun was also chosen MVP, becaming the first (and so far only) player to record consecutive Larsons. |

Thanks for the support, it is a really nice feeling to know that my fluff-stuff, silly as it may be is appreciated.
Oh, and updated the Larson HoF with the previous posts in this thread, so back to up-to-date-status  |

Sammy Stuttergab once managed a Larson in a mere two turns of play, intercepting a dark elf throw on turn 15 and passing for a TD.
Spurred into a frenzy, Sammy then conducted a blitz, managing to badly hurt a dark elf blitzer. The Cheddarchasers recovered the ball, and Sammy scored on the last turn of the match. |

***Did you know...that during a first round match of the 2506 Orca Cola Cup, Amun the Devourer became the first ever mummy to “pull a Larson”. When at the end of that historic match, to the astonishment of the crowd, the announcers awarded the MVP to one of his ghoulish teammates, Amun not only refused to give any post-match interviews, but he even forewent his traditional post-game “snack” that had made him so popular.
This painful event however, set the stage for one of the greatest feats in the history of Bloodbowl. Spurred on by the grave injustice of the previous match, Amun simply completed another Larson in the very next game by scoring the game-winning TD in overtime. This time, the Orca Cola representatives dared not overlook Amun, fearing retaliation by his fans, leading to the first ever Mummy Perfect Larson. To date, Amun is the only player to ever record consecutive Larsons.
I am considering adding this spruced up version. Anyone care to further improve it? |

My orc blitzer, Kritz Da Heartbreakah managed a Larson ages ago. But it was vs. halflings so I didn't bother to report it:P
But to keep the records accurate, i'm doing so now... |

The trouble is there are several accomplishments here -
1) First (and only) hobbo to get a larson
2) Fastest Larson? (4 complete turns)
3) Quickest Larson (Match)? (End Turn 6, 1st Half)
4) Earliest Larson (Career)? (1st half, Debut Match)
Well the important thing is to figure out if it really is the fastest ever...
Going though them all would be... horriffic. If only everyone could check their own, or at least we could split up the endeavor.
If it's not the fastest ever, it can just be,
***did you know...
A member of the Magnificent Eleven, a team of 'promising' hobgoblins, Titchy became the first hobgoblin to record a Larson, completing it in the first half of his team's debut match. Of course, he's never come close to repeating that performance, but a Larson is a career's worth of accomplishments for any hobgoblin anyway!

Who's the fastest? Update:
Checked all the Perfect Larsons for people who completed thier larson in the first 6 turns or in 4 consecutive turns.
2 finished theirs in turn 8 of the first half: Finwe of Caledor & T Hawk
Thundercall: Unclear. No replay (and his oppo says he was buzzing? but he intercepted, so it must have been drugs or knuckles or something). The match report is lengthy but inexact. It's fairly clear that Thundercall had made a TD, CAS, and INT by the end of the first half, but there's no indication that he made his completion until later. His "DYN?" passage states that it was completed in the first half, but there is no evidence that it was by turn 6.
Vas: Replay incomplete and unclear, but no casualties were inflicted by his team by the end of the first half.
Valdrek Bloodgaze: Replay very incomplete and unclear. 2 cp, 2 td; Int and cas came close together, but in 1st or 2nd half?
Larsons: 1st 3 - None |
