Cursed Name or Position?
So I started a ranked 'fling team, just for kicks and giggles, and already I am on my 4th incarnation of the fling named "Small Boot" after only 5 games. Every time Small Boot in his various incarnations has donned the number 2 jersey and taken to the field he has been permed:
Game 1: Small Boot I => -MA
Game 2: Small Boot I => did not play
Game 3: Small Boot I => -MA
Game 4: Small Boot II => -ST
Game 5: Small Boot III => niggle
Is the position/jeresy cursed in my team or is it the name? Does nuffle punish the unimaginative? Or are these kind of RNG shenanigans some kind of conSPIROcy? Who knows, I just wouldn't want to be Small Boot IV for the next game.

Ni idea. But rated 6 for pure Team Fluff

I killed a player named John with my Necro Ranked team and turned him into a zombie, he was then killed the next match. A couple matches later I killed another player called johny. It seems that might not be the luckiest name either.

Maybe it's a sacrifice to Nuffle for success in games. Small Boot III is retired, long live Small Boot IV!
Who knows, maybe Small Boot XXVII will buck the trend and be a superstar!

Maybe you should keep him despite his injuries - he's possibly destined to earn you the "I cannot die!" badge (get one injury of each kind).

Maybe you should make a 'small boot' award for flings that survive more than one match with the name.

On an elf team of mine, the positions belong to certain families. The Duskowl family has fared the worst with 7 RIP and 0 retirements. They even changed their jersey number but the deaths continued.

Not sure but nuffle is having fun with my high elves in box, 3 linemen first skill +ag next game dead -- two of them apo'd from death to death

Surely this fling is destined for great things. With his name I'd be tempted by a fouling build to repay the pain he has suffered.

I think it's the saved Defensive line ups that you have. Move him around to another position and see how it works.

Hmmm interesting idea for some fluff. Keep tabs on the family names that 'kick the bucket' and see which family is cursed.

Yeah, it's a fun way to celebrate all those dead linemen and at least you don't have to think up a new last name each time ^-^

I guess it's a Small Boot to Fill
