Lurching for Lunch
Roster [X] Undead

Another day at the Lustria Technology park (LTP). Green and well tended grass covers the space between the shiny complexes of the biotech and IT companies surrounded by lush forrest. Everything is perfect to suit the needs of the high educated, well earning ultra-pproductive folks - except one little detail:

27 companies - 1300 empoyees - 1 cafeteria

The meal is a BIG deal.

Everyday the masses from the surrounding offices and laboratories surge into the cafeteria through the two opposite entrances in search for food and - following murphies law - your favourite restaurant will be on the opposite side of the entrance you are using. You really have to stick with your peeps in this place or get overrun by groups from other companies that are charging through the masses driven by their hunger.

Everything became worse, when the cafeteria administration started their promotion campaign to keep the folks coming despite the miserable conditions:
With the upcoming FUMBBL CUP, they decided to throw in a football and whoever presents the ball at the counter of their choice will get their lunch for free!

But as a wise man once say: 'There is no such thing as a free lunch'

This team tells the tale of the employees from 'Lustria Industrial Technologies Exclusive!' (or LITE! for short). When the locking system of the cafeteria malfuctioned and forced everyone to stay inside for 48 hours, the fight for lunch escalated and nearly the entire staff perished:

Zombies: Most of the staff slowly starved to death, just to rise again driven by the desire to finally get their free lunch.

Mummies: The slowest of the group didn`t even make it to the water fountain and died of thirst and became mummified.

Wights: The most unfortunate had the 'luck' to get a hand on the lunch cupon before being crushed by other food-gatherer. Their souls never found rest and so they returned to complete their eternal quest for lunch.

Ghouls: The quickest and most agile managed to (barely) stay alive, by snacking on everything that was available. As they only food source that was readily available were the victims of the food fight, this survival came at a cost...


Off-comments:
Wow.. the worst start of any of my teams EVER. 4 losses in a row which were abit due to my lack of experience with Undead, but also due to horrible dice and opponents with unreal luck.

Game 5 - first counting for rating or anything - and they made up for their bad start. Poor Darkies... first turn gave me a new Zombie and sent another Lino into the grave plus KOed a blitzer. By turn 4 the Black Sea Corsairs had suffered four dead elves.

Game 11 - The winning streak continues, carrying the team to the victory of the <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&group=1609>FUMBBL SMACK Veteran CXCV</a>

Game 16 - WardenUSA and his girls from Victroria`s Blitz II managed to break the winning streak by drawing the LITE! lunch crew 1-1. Even though everything had pointed towards an early defense snack for the LITE! lunch crew, a nasty tackle that killed <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=5240336>Tiffy Wilson</a> enabled the zons to recover the ball and score in their half. Despite the draw, Lurching for Lunch <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&at=1&group=4966&show=21402>won their first Speed Freak Challenge with a 3/0/1 (W/L/T) record.</a>
Quite banged as they are, a few recovery matches will be in order to get into shape for the next tourney.

Recovery went well and they trained up to TR150 just in time to play in the <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&at=0&group=1609&show=21870> FUMBBL SMACK Veteran CCX. </a> All in all a perfect SMACK! Retired a team first round, broke a 19-game winning streak 2nd round and had a nail-biter as a final, just to take the trophy by cointoss.
As the now the whole technology park is in support of our LITE! crew, it`s time to move on to higher TRs.

It had become abit quite around the LITE! crew, as they were lumbering around the cafeteria with no purpose. Half a year passed (to the day!) until a new opponent dared to set his foot into the haunted cafeteria looking for a SMACK-Title. But to no avail - in a frightning display of food-frenzy the LITE! crew disposed 3 teams - killing the mighty Hthark in the process - to add the <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&at=0&group=1609&show=24887>FUMBBL SMACK Pro CCCXVII</a> title to their growing collection.

Again, the dust of time settles on the team unil - nearly 7 month later a team is sought for another PRO SMACK. Will they continue their succes? The shamble out on the pitch and right away start to obliterate the necros they are facing. First block shatters the ankle of a wolf, 2nd wolf is taken out by foul. As the rest of the team slowly disappears into the KO boxes, the freshly reborn accountant redeems the ball for 3SPP - twice. Next are dorfs. They have brought Zara, the Waitress. Her keen insights into cafeteria brawls combined with the sharp cutlery she`s wielding makes he a fierce opponent. The well trained crew pushes the dwarves onto the sideline, but when Eileen Bardas, the most experienced of the staff has the chance to remove her from the field she fails and gets ripped apart by a silver butterknife. Disheartened, the crew fails to redeem the captured ball. Dr. von Smackenberg, enraged at the loss of good personal (human resources take forever to write out positions), lashed out in the last turn to severely hurt Zara, but the opposing medic was able to patch her up. Though while this is happening, Karl from the Archives manages to drag an opponent called Joe into his archives. Both weren`t seen again (RIP&Raise&eject). With the death of their most senior secretary avenged, the LITE crew does their standard routing and slowly walk in the score. The final was then played against amazons - they also had hired the waitress. Despite only Jimmy Yank being trained to bring those girls down, the LITE crew fought to yet another victory after Zara was tossed for unfair use of cutlery at halftime. This victory brought them yet another time, the <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&at=&group=1609&p=tournaments&show=26689>
