Big Stones!
Some of you may remember BillBrasky's recent blogpost denigrating the stone sizes of box coaches without Slann teams.
I felt this was as good a time as any to rectify the fact that I had never played a single game with the roster, in any division.
I also felt compelled to answer the slight to my manhood! So, off to make a team I go. But what to name it?
"Big Balling Box Bfrogs!"... no, no. The alliteration is all wrong.
"Coach Luo's Stones" mmmph, a bit obvious?
"Proof of Luohghcra's Manhood" I love a tribute team, but... no, not quite right.
OK, big stones, big stones... Monolith! no, some 0 game helf team owned by a coach hundreds of weeks offline has that name (and isn't THAT a pet peeve?)
Menhir, Obelisk...Boulder? Wait... *lightbulb*
This was a momentous occasion! My first ever Slann team! Truly, it was... Something Monumental!
*So, I'm planning to blog about the progress/performance of the team. Aiming for around 50 games. So far, frogs are squishy. VERY squishy.*

Funny. After his blog, BillBrasky has already created, played and retired 3 slann teams in the box. Only in this month of April. And I can see a some more coming for the last team created is already 1/1/2 which I guess is a sure ticket to retirement very soon.
On the other hand, I must admit the size of Bill´s stones for, at least, he is giving them a try but I hope, next comment on slann coaches will be much more respectful.
Only time will tell, I guess.

@CroixFer: Huh? I understood that Bill encouraged all to play Slann and disparaged non-Slann coaches? Is that disrespectful towards Slann coaches somehow?

I would say "not activating slanns = small balls" sounds a bit disrecpectful.
I usually play slanns and thus I felt appointed by the comment.

I've got 90 games with my B frogs. Still fighting!
GL with the team. :) Words of advice...
Get fend as your third skill, or you'll never get a fourth.

I could have sworn that said BEER frogs. Maybe I need to get home rather than working longer...
@OP: your team isn't remotely squishy... you've only lost 1 player so far! Although in general, yes, the frogs do tend to splat a lot.

Good Job Luohghcra!
My post was supposed to be humorous of course.
But yes, I am hoping everyone makes frogs.
They are crazy fun (the opposite of min/max).

Granted, I've only lost the one player so far (in 2 games) - it [i]was[/i] a blitzer though!
Maybe it's just been a rough couple of games, but the froggies spend an inordinate amount of time in the ko or BH box.
I'm currently looking into the correlation between the breakiness of frog av8 and saurus av9 - after all there is common ancestry, correct? Perhaps there is a fatal weakness in the structure of frog/saurus hides...?
@Bill - Sadly, I think humour as a sense is a rare commodity in these parts at times. Or, they're trying to reverse-troll (which is something I just made up and probably doesn't mean anything sensible)
