Walpurgis 2 are trying to get in shape for the UI but once more, their coach is failing to keep them safe, just needing to play for the win. So our second Wardancer Prue is AV6 now and that's really not good, not good at all, but what else can you do but bring her anyway? |

Retire her after the first game in the UI (or get her killed) and play with the inducement money. 
Edit:
By the way... with TW being much closer to TV these days, how about accepting the teams in order or TW instead of TV? Would take some pressure from teams that have players missing and still account for the greatness of a roster in general, even if not for the first qualifier game. |

As I was re reading the ancient and deep history of the UI I ran across a old post that just made me laugh.
I will share with you this post from the UI VIII thread.

Why is this thread not stickied yet? The WO was closed out over 4 days ago which in BB time is like 6 months.
Oh my this fine stuff has me all frazzled, Iam sounding like some media-personality diva. Someone give me one of those coconut drinks with a really long straw to calm down. |
hahaha, I love you milford, and you know that! best threads ever created in my opinion. |
|
Hehehe, aye, that is a good memory!
Unfortunately I don't think the dressers will be ready in time so I need to get something else cooking... Or play like a fool on Saturday... |

lowest / average / highest:
Light: 1740 / 2052.6 / 2480
Dark: 1660 / 2071.7 / 2710
Those were the TV ranges for UI VIII qualifing. |
Goddesses weigh in around the average. Any other big elf teams coming to play? |

I was about to say that the Hammers seem to be on the back burner in Azures stable of teams and then I saw this prep match gone horribly wrong.
The Doll house is smashed into kibble bits
I suspect Azure was going to bring the Doll House instead of the Hammers but he might not have a choice now.
Now I wonder if Azure is going to be able to make the UI this year, he missed it last year. |
Azure's prospects aren't looking any better after this game for TSH: 2 slayers dead, a blitzer retired and the ST4 tent-monster -AVed: https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=3543446
Azure, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating! |

Oh wow... now if that isn't a thing to celebrate: A legendary troll slayer, most fearsome and relentless of his kind, and his young companion finally met their destiny and fulfilled their vows*. Redeemed!
Still: My condolences, Azure.
* On the other hand, as it were dwarves that put them down, another conclusion comes to mind: Maybe someone got the impression that Aidan wasn't really going after his doom anymore, but enjoying Blood Bowl too muck? |

Malodorous Malefactors just lost their only clawpomber, so they're not exactly in majors condition, so I think I might bring my Skaven to the dark side, though I should probably try and get 1 more TD on that 28 SPP stormvermin first (and of course see my team implode while trying). An outside option would be to boost the TV of my Normal Lizards and bring them. |
I'm pretty sure Royal Cookie Crumble will be available in time.
I'm surprised you don't know that... or maybe you are bluffing. |
Yes, they will be... but bringing woodies to the side with no claw, but plenty of Mb tackle... meh. Also, if I should win, they will have mutations assigned to them, but probably not have received them yet (judging from previous years). If that's the case, I'll certainly freeze the team until their rewards have been sorted: I'd hate to lose a player before he gets his mutation.
I might bring them if they lose or have received their mutations. However, even then: if my scale models were available, I would bring them in a heartbeat.

I love how you rolled the Bucs into a completely different style of team now, after you decided to go all-J-men and got that hunk of flesh cauterized off!
Holy #$(^$... that'll take more than one recovery match. I suspect we'll be either seeing a LOT or very little of Azure between now and Wednesday.
Wow, that's a SOLID team, per the 2 expendable sauri model. If there's not too many unlucky perms on the not-expendable ones, and your legend makes it through, I could see them have a good shot at unforlorning liz. Too bad your legend oneturner skink didn't have an AG in addition to his 2 doubles and 2 +MAs!

No, it's +1 FAME for everything but winnings.

Meh, only if the problem of MNGs and their replacing J-men both being counted is solved in my opinion. Missing out on a majors because someone else got their loners and MNG players added to their value would suck so hard... |

Right... that would indeed suck. In that case I'm all for TV. If one suffers multiple MNGs in his "last prep match", then at least he can blame himself or NUFFLE and doesn't focus his frustration on other coaches or even tournament staff. |

Bluwood wishes Bo Danger had Mighty Blow with his Tackle to help Blackwood clear a few more elves out of the way, but Big Ben is bringing the team as is.
At 2160k we should make it in, and prep games to add more Mighty Blow are too risky. |

Since I'm a notorious dreamer, I took a good look at the prizes and contemplated on who I'd give those great artifacts:
Talisman of Eilai (Two Heads 20TV):
Baruk "Sinful" Faithchanger (blitzer with Guard, Fend and Dodge)
or
Groin, Brother of Garumbar "The Fallen" Lighthammer (deathroller with Dodge, Guard, Grab and -ma)
Boots of Var Cor (Leap+DP 30TV):
Bornar "Firehurler" Runeblade (blitzer with Kick, +MA and Guard)
Ring Of Nuffle (Fan Favorite 20TV):
Brumbas Soildigger (167 games old blocker, Nuffle worshiper and last original team member) - although I'd probably let the fans decide and hope they pick him |
