I really feel like these guys losing stunty would increase their usefulness and (for me anyhow) justify their price, and thereby their inclusion in my cheater team Smile
In all seriousness I really would like to see them lose stunty, to bring them in line with the far superior gnome bombers, now whether this has been asked before, i was unable to find with the search command(this probably has more to do with my incompetence than anything else) but I dont think it would be overpowering, the team struggles enough with those foul rolls Smile

Im expecting to be flamerised to death, so ill just go ahead and press post...

You really should have put this in the stunty forum, much more response.

But yes i agree, or gnome bombers should have stunty added to them, either way would seem fair.

I dunno, is there a way to move it? Smile
In any case, I dont think bombs are overpowering, and i think it lends more tactical options to stunty teams when they can pass a bit, so i think its prudent and fair. /me hopes moderator reads this and moves post to stunty to save my blushes Smile

because they suffer from -1 for passing right?

mmmmm don't know. That cheaters need a boost is obvious but is that the solution, I am not sure.

I think the Cheaters are cool as they are now (maybe little underpowered?).
The only thing I would change is the dirty player. I don´t find fair (There´s something fair with those boys???) to be exposed to be sent off after the kick off, he doesn´t have any weapon, that´s just an skill... does he?

He's got no secret weapons so he's not subjegated to the secret weapons roll.

<cease flamorising>
my reasons for suggesting that as an increase is that with no big guys it would allow the team to vary their plays a little, using hit and run(or hit and foul) tactics, passing to pogostickers, who make good runners, it would help compensate against the fact that they just dont have the staying power needed to go square to square with anyone with BG access, I dont think it would be unfair, and would finally justify what is at the moment, a frustratingly useless expensive player, who is likely to be sent of as soon as sneeze.
Its a small change, and would work to recorrect a lot of peoples whining that theres only one strategy in stunty, a passing possibility would reinvigorate the team, and present a new challenge and dimension for cheater coaches. <continue flamorising>

fair point..... people seem resistant to the notion of stunties being allowed to pass, id much rather they just couldnt pass beyond middle range, not have silly minuses at short.

I really dont think they should lose stunty, they are still the same size after all. But maybe they should get ssps for succesfully passing the bomb.

Maybe goblin cheaters are a bit weak.
A typical game seems to go like this:
At first they are very powerful with chainsaws, pogos, bombers etc... Maybe they will score one of two TD in the first half. However as soon as they score a TD some of the players will get expelled. The team will grow weaker and weaker. And by mid of the second half there are usally only half the original team left, and no positionals. At this point they tend to lose the game.

The dirty player cant be sent at kick-off's, but they sure can get sent of from fouling....
