Greeda Stinkbreath

R.I.P 20/01/15 vs Smuff

Killed when veteran blitzer Jennix came in an blindsided poor Greeda with a blow to the back of his head. Tragically Doc Eadcase had already used all of his medical supplies saving the life of another player and there was nothing he could do to stop Greeda's brains from spilling onto the pitch.

At the time of his death Greeda held the following records:

#3rd greatest goblin player, and best lineman ever with 286SPP's
#2nd most touchdowns scored by a goblin player, and most for a lineman with 61
#25th most passes completed by a goblin player, and #18th for a lineman with 14
#2nd most MVP awards for a goblin player, and most for a lineman with 15
He was the oldest goblin player ever with 221 games
#14th most rushing yards by a goblin player, 3rd most by a lineman with 670 paces

The Great Gobbo says:

"Well wot kan yer say? Ee wuz simply der greatest gobbo ter evva play der game. Most of iz rekordz will nevva be broken, espeshully by a lineman, an wen yew remember ee played in a gobbo lineman only teem den yew start ter realise just ow gud ee reely woz. Der new staydeeum bein built by KO! Magazine where der Tide will be relokatin to will be kalled der Greeda Stinkbreath Memorial Field in iz onor. A true legend".

The passing of a brain chomping legend

Hello dudes!

Way back on 22nd August 2013 I'd come to the decision that I needed a new project. My one and only legend player, Buckminster Briar had exploded in a shower of tiny limbs and entrails under the angry stomping feet of a filthy ogre. The 'flings were still fun, but I'd had a taste of ridiculous players getting close to being the greatest of their kind ever.

At the time their was a lunatic coach playing an all rotter line up. We'd faced off a few times and not only had I had lots of fun, but the whole concept looked a laugh. I had a scout around and realised no one was enough of a dude to be playing an all zombie roster on a regular basis. There was one or two teams of note, who had pretty much thrown in the brain matter encrusted towel when LRB4's beautifully overpowered fouling was gimped in CRP.

Looking at the top lists it was obvious that there was little competition for building the greatest zombie ever. Dirty Cranberries were born, unapologetically punning obscurely, with the sole aim of producing the highest scoring zombie ever.

Initially we ended up with Seymour Kouriatchev as our main ball carrier. He'd picked up a double roll in his first few skills and opted for Dodge to help him avoid getting bashed off teh ball quite so easily as we ambled up the park. But then, in a shower of stat rolls came the one and only Howie Makepeace stole the duties and the limelight.

Not realising the top lists were failing to capture a lot of records from older rulesets this challenge initially looked like a cakewalk! After being pointed in the direction of the true record holder I realised the target was more than three times what I had originally thought. A flurry of Ian McShane in Deadwood style language and I decided that I'd finish what I started.

After a worrying -Ag injury early on, and while still short of the record of 69 touchdowns held by Osanne Dionysios of Stoned City Slowwalkers I opted for the unusual decision of burning a precious potion on him to keep him running long enough to get that 70th TD and batter his way into the records.

It paid off (in my eyes anyway, I'm sure some are still questioning my potion usage), and by game 107 Howie had got the record!

So what now? Having achieved his goal, I was briefly unsure what to aim for. A quick look at the top lists showed that Howie could possibly have a shot at the all time top scorers chart with a bit of luck.

So I just kept going. And going. And going. This zombie just would not die! With an insane 14 lightning strikes and 4 regen's from death it felt like nothing would stop him.

Around the 200 game mark we lost Seymour, the only other legend zombie on the team and with Howie the last remaining original member of the squad.

At almost 1000 SPP and 243 TD Howie took on the infamous Flying Sammiches, who made a crazed tree blitz early on and hit Howie so hard he lost -MA.

Much to the bemusement of all, I potioned hi again. All potions gone, and just two key goals remaining. Get 1000 SPP and be only the 10th FUMBBL player to do so, and also outscore that stinking cowardly elf Golradir.

Howie Makepeace finally got splooshed right at the end of this match when the result was already beyond us. Would have been nice to at least have some opponent gloating at his passing, but it went oddly unremarked :D

It was a brutal match for us. As anyone knows, Ogres kinda suck without dice rolling kindly. But boy did they roll kindly! I also played quite badly, which didn't help :D

3 zombies died in this game, and the greatest zombie of all time one of them.

It was a blast having Howie, watching people gangfoul, lightning strike and generally gun for him every outing was all part of his charm for me. I burned 2 potions on him to keep him going for more records. When I first made the team the only idea was to get the highest scoring zombie of all time. He thrashed that. So here's a list of his records and achievements. Not bad for an AG2 player :D
