Hi there!

I'm kinda new here, but I wanted to do something I did in the past in others leagues: a team drafted by other coaches, where each player as a godfather coach.

Here is the idea: I'll create a team but I'll buy no player. Each coach who will post in this thread will have the possibility to buy one player and to become his godfather. As long as the player lives, this godfather will be responsible for all his career choices (which are basically comp choice and decision to retire or not after an injury ^^).

The rules:
1) One adopted player per coach
2) The godfather chooses the name (make it as fluffy as possible please :p) and position of that player (assuming there's still the possibility to hire a player at a particular position)
3) When godfathered player skills up or suffers an injury, I'll ask his godfather what to do, so please don't adopt a player if your connected once or twice per month :p
4) If the player dies or retires, his godfather cannot hire a new one. I'll update the thread to find a new godfather. I'll do this if there's a free spot for a new player too
5) As you can read, my english isn't very good, so feel free to write biography of your adopted player, it'll be probably better than anything I could write in english. You can also propose a portrait image for your godfathered player.

I think I'm done Smile

I hope I'll have enough coach willing to adopt a player to make the team playable ^^ Let me introduce you: the Ulthuan Mammoths!

http://www.fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=688047

Future godfathers:
- Alcibiade 2nd ==> Alastros "Cleanboot" Leafland, any position needed
- Kondor ==> My Name is Inigo Montoya, any position needed
- pac ==> Yildiray Bayrak, Turkish via Wien, any position needed

PS: Excuse my english :s

I'll sponsor Lineman: Urmiah Sonhelm. He's the second son of a major land owner in the region of Ulthuan south of Chrace. His elder brother is heir to his family's fortune so Urmiah is seeking other means of wealth. He is somewhat immature and tends not to follow his coach instructions too closely.

I would like 'Brave Sir Robin' who will be a Lineman of the 'I don't really want to be hit...at all' variety.

I know that it isn't a very fluffy Elf name and if I am to be rejected on that grounds that is fair enough but I would like to think that I will make up for it with skill choices and explanations of why I really am quite unable to start games on the line of scrimmage...

Picture suggestion to come..

Oooh, in the team then.

Bio: Shunned by his rather braver family Robin was forced to leave his family home after an unfortunate incident involving a loud noise and needing yet another fresh pair of trousers. After wandering for what seemed like miles Brave Sir Robin fell into the middle of an impromptu game of Blood Bowl. Players fell over him, the ball hit him, wherever he ran everyone else seemed to follow. A contract was offered...and a legend was born.

Brave Sir Robin now lives in fear of his teammates finding out that actually he is scared of the ball...and of them...and of grass actually...

Edit: Actually I like this bit: 4) If the player dies or retires, his godfather cannot hire a new one. I'll update the thread to find a new godfather. I'll do this if there's a free spot for a new player too.

I would like to warn my fellow team-mates that I owe it to myself to extend my career for as long as I can. Surely we won't have one of those nasty democracy situations in which everybody gets to vote on what happens to others....?!
