The Team who will review the suggestions and take the final decisions.

PurpleChest
Someone has to chair it, that someone is me.

Shadow46x2
Representing the Admins, with huge Tournament experience and a PHD in stunty. Hard but fair and knows his own mind.

PurpleGoo
Knows BB from the days of black and white clients, old skool (and incredibly good)coach unimpressed with your modern fancy ways. Not a lover of the Majors, convince him you've done something special, and you have.

RandomOracle
Properly good coach and frightening mind, like the guy in the new Star Trek film, FC past winner with a B team. Knows the pomb as well as any man or any B coach.

PainState
Effort deserves reward, and no one puts more effort into making majors fun than PainState.And when it comes to quality coaching, well, then he's largely here to make the tea.

So, thats the people you have to influence with your suggestions. i think they represent FUMBBL pretty well. Fun and serious, R and B, authority and indapendance, lovers and loathers of FUMBBL Majors, good coaches and PainState. impress that 5, and you earn a Fan Favorite.

People very much missing the point here.

Really, it's not that hard an idea to grasp.

While the FC is running, if you (as spectator or opponent) see something heroic, funny, outrageous, lucky, harsh, amazing, silly, teebow, gamechanging, legendary or just plain dumb, you come here, you post about it, and if me, PG, RO, Shadow and Painstate agree, that player gets an FF award.

Just because i used the word hunt, doesnt mean we are looking to kill things. Stop being so american.

So close.

Bishop, a human blitzer with Bored Mascots, inflicted casualties on turns 1, 2, and 7 of the first half, and then on turns 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the second half of their game against Backstabbing Assassins, leaving only four of the Assassins on the field. On turn 6, though, he rerolled Both Down/Skull into Skull/Skull to let their ball-carrier get away for an eventual touchdown. An unfortunate end to a massive 7 CAS game.

The lonely tale of a Gobbo & his saw.

I nominate Ginger.

Ginger is weak, but a skilled mechanic, and with his powerful tool in his hands to make short work of the opponents juggernaut Tackle Pomb Saurus Monty the Python (who incidently should get a hero award simply for his name). But succeeding in his work came at a cost. Ginger had to stand infront of the Terrible Lizard, the mighty Kroxigor. But Ginger had accepted his fate, because he could take the fall. Because you either di- become badly hurt- a hero, or live long enough to become the villian. He is whatever Gotham needs him to be (god damn it, I've been watching films again).

A cPomber may kill, an elf may score. But a true hero takes one for the team.

I nominate Gordon Ramsey. Second half he dodges free, pounces on a loose ball, storms up the pitch, does several gfi but is still one short to score but nearly sets up a score with a hand off. Did I mention he's a tree?

Nothing is more heroic than dying doing that heroic move.

In a pitch clear one sided game. Jumboparagon's Undead were playing almost rookie rats. During OT, the rookie skaven Thrower "Professor Fail" tries the impossible when blitzing the blodge 76spp+ ball carrying Ghoul. Professor Fail knows he's one of the two skaven left out there (VS 10 undead) that could steal the ball.

Result of the blitz : POW!

Ball bounced two squares east of Professor Fail (one GFI left).

Now this is the part where great fluff comes in. Professor Fail, indeed fails his next action, trying to mark the ball. His missed go for it was his truly last.

Coach Themalkman said Jumboparagon in a relieving manner: "Now he can fail you too.", as Professor Fail joined the Undead's rank as a rookie Zombie.

That action was hilarious, especially in the context. I think he deserves a vote for the Fan Fave skill, giving his life for his team (or what was left from it).

I would like to nominate a Zombie. Aatteiden Alistaja of Viimeinen Linja, possibly the silliest Undead team you have ever seen (one Wight, two Mummies and a bunch of Frenzied Zombies). In this games vs. the Purple Delvers, everything seems under control for the Dwarves until Aatteiden picks up the ball and starts running for it. Repeated dodges and GFIs later he scores in T8 of 1st half. The Undead proceed to win the game in overtime.

This seems to be becoming a habit. In the team's previous FC match, Aatteiden also scored a touchdown.

My nomination goes to the dark elf assassin Brother Painkiller for his performance on the last game of his team against the mighty ACEII Brotherhood. His leaping stabs not only kept his team in the game much longer than expected, singlehandedly stopping the offense of the monstruous dwarves, but he even seriously injured a hyped dwarf blitzer.

Finally, and most importantly, in a last ditch effort of his team to tie the game and bring it to overtime, he disposed of the stat freak runner Skalator Rider, who seemed destined to carry the Brotherhood to the top.
