Damn, I'm almost disappointed that there are 2 other Skinks 
I did not expect this number of Eshin though... 6 players for such a team of questionable value? |

I don't think we've had enough data to determine how good or bad Eshin are unfortunately. I did ok with them in S.P.L.A.T. and they won the scoring title so I can't agree with your assessment of questionable without more proof. |

I said questionable, not bad, I rate them as an exceptional scoring team, in quite some cases even better than Skinks as that, but I dislike the fact that most of the team has no real development options and one of the players (imo) too many. |

In a later game a Gnome coach had a bomber banned at the end of regulation but available for OT. That coach fielded the bomber and used him throughout OT.
I think an 'Official Policy' needs to be enacted to give players clarification on what should happen when this bug strikes. |
This is clearly a bug. If this happened in a tournament I was admin'ing there would be serious consequences to any who exploit this. This is covered under the FUMBBL rules. Obviously if a secret weapon is banned and then a bug allows you to field it - either it should not be fielded, or if it must be, put it in a corner and it should be treated as out of play. Abusing bugs is not allowed in any game, period. |

I think using the bomber if this was due to a bug is pretty disgusting. But it is stunty, which is full of cheating little goblins, so an official ruling would be useful.
EDIT: Azure is, of course, right. There is already a rule covering this. I hope the gnomes did not win. |

One other notable point; I also saw both of the affected games, and in both, the opponent spotted that the banned player was back in play and told the owning coach. Which negates any sort of 'oh, I didn't know it was a bug' excuse.
Edited to remove identifying hint. |

Not saying it is now very easy to figure out said gnomes, but it is. |

Please send me links to matches involving this happening. Azure has the correct answer.

One other bug I think - just played my first Stunty Cup game and all the inducements were standard BB costs - e.g. Babes were 50k, Bribes 100k etc. In the Stunty rulebook it says those should be 40k and 85k... Has this not been implemented yet?
Still great fun though, love the new Star Players! |

The official inducement costs haven't been implemented in the client so we're stuck on the old prices. |

I believe you need to apply.
And...
That was a WILD game!
Very entertaining with lots of carnage, some crazy plays that worked, easy ones that failed, and bizarre play calls from both coaches. Really enjoyed it, thanks. |

yeah, has been a game worthy of a tournament, and when the thrall threw that bomb 6+ and stun the ball carrier i believed for a moment in a memorable victory.
anyway, i wonder if I have to apply in the loser's bracket now or after all the games are played. do ya know something 'bout it? |

Sounds clear enough. I'll hire some new thralls, then I'll apply again. |
