#35 : I'll get you next time, Nuffle!
So after losing to IntrepidFool in the OCCS tournament, mostly due to him playing well and me being rusty, we had another game to play: this time in the 145 league. With my so-far-undefeated lizards. I'll get my revenge I thought. No. I think I played pretty well except for 2 huge mistakes, and got an awful stroke of badluck that kept the game away from me. He ended up with a 3-1 victory.

What did I learn today?
- always cover for an unlucky roll. Always. I missed an easy block and forgot to secure the ball first, this led to a pickup and 2 GFIs in his last turn for a TD.
- Cages are not invincible, even though it probably takes a whole bucket of luck to go through one in a single turn. But it still happened.
- Reroll doesn't necessarily mean the re-rolled dice will be good.
- Having 0 RR left doesn't mean anything if you don't need them in the first place.
- AG4 passing really works more often than I thought it would.
- Your plan won't always work.
- Getting all MVPs and TDs on different players fails big time. 1 skill roll in 4 games. I think I have 8 players ready for a skill now.
With only 1 game left in that league (unless new opponents pop up again) I still have good chances of winning it. Especially if luck comes back to me.

With AG4, you need to throw 3 or more with the dice to succesfully complete the pass. There are modifications for the length of the pass, so if you do a quick-pass, that's a 2 or more you need - basically, if you don't fumble the ball, you made it !
Then, if you catch it with another AG4 player, same deal, that 3 or more on a dice roll needed, with a +1 modifier on the dice if the pass isn't missed - so that's another roll in which if you don't fumble, you make it.
That's why elves (and gutter runners ! ) are so good at playing with the ball :] AG4 everywhere !

You've played 35 games... No offense, but you're not rusty... you're a noob... ;)
But I really like the reflections you make...
Cheers!

I noticed a little while ago you asking for a way to see your old blogs. I have a suggestion for you. You can start a private group of your own and put your information in there so it will all be in one place and will not disappear everytime you post. You just find the groups page and create a new one and pick it as a private group. If it is something you are interested in. I am sure almost anyone can help with that if you need help. if not just pm me when I am around and I will help you.

I really wish you don't think of me as a noob :p And yes, the blogs and match reports (yes, I still write them very game) help me get some extra learning, or just making sure I learned my lesson. I said I was rusty because I failed to do things I knew, like moving dice-free players first, blocking with the wrong guys, etc.
As for finding my old blogs, yes I found a way : they're in my profile.
And for the passes, yes at first I thought it would be tougher until I saw all those 2s and 3s required. But still, most passes I see are medium or long, and that's a 3+ at very least. Plus add the chance of failing the catch roll. So I really need to learn they're not super hard, but for some reason they still seem luckyer than normal on passes (except Leif who fumbles them all).

Getting MVPs and TDs on different players is actually great.
SPP Hogging is extremely bad long term. Having 8 players ready to skill up means your team will soon have a massive boost, and be much stronger than having say 3 players with two skills each.
