Please undo this change. The apothecary should be able to induce vomiting and fix the poor git.
Also, it seems clear to me that they intended no turn over if you fumble a teammate with TTM. Landing and Eating both clearly indicate no turnover. I understand why this change was made - but wonder if there should be an official ruling on it. Stunty Teams have lots of things against them. Having no risk of a turn over when attempting to position a player with TTM (which is dangerous enough) should be an advantage for fielding a stunty. |

Not true...fumbling a TTM is the same as fumbling any other pass: A turnover.
Look at the LRB "Throwing Team-Mates" section, page 23: "The throw is treated like a normal pass, except that the range is treated as being one band higher". And as per a normal pass, a fumble is a turnover, period. |

Is risking a players life with a TTM the same as throwing the ball? I think not. Since there is more inherent risk, I believe the rules should be changed to no turnovers on a fumbled TTM. |

Any player you can throw is hardly a "risk" to lose...we're talking Gobbos and 'flings here. Yeah if he has a bajillion SPP maybe, but how many get to that level? |

Um, helmut - the player with the MOST spp. (or was...)
I'll put it this way, until the apothecary is fixed for eat team mate. I'm not tossing my stunties with special skills or spp 16+... The apothecary is the topic of this post - the fumble is a rant!
As for stunty teams - look at the stats page, click on races. Then click on "W" in "W/D/L". Now, which team is at the absolute top of the list ? Does that stunty team get TTM ? No. Look at the teams at the absolute bottom of the list - they all have TTM. |
