My Imperial team s.nobs https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=1051203 are doing OK after a shaky start (first 7 games 1/2/4, next 7 games 6/0/1).

Not a famous team in themselves, they are however beloved of fans across the Empire for their wondrous Apothecary.

In the 13 games that he has been in the Imperial dugout, he has been used a number of times. Every single roll he has made has been either Killed (the most common) or a stat decrease (all retirement offences, e.g. -AG on a Blitzer/Catcher, -MA on a Thrower, -ST on a Lino). The spitting image of the Apoths shown in Nuffle's sacred rulebook.

In 14 games the team has had 4 Deaths (to be fair, one was an Imperial Journeylino), 4 stat decreases (retirements) and 6 Niggling Injuries. This is the sort of thing that draws ever larger crowds to the cinque stadia.

If anyone could think of a suitable Imperial butcher/botcher name for him, I would be much obliged!

To be fair, I seem to recall one turn 15 Apoth roll on a Niggling Injury (to Niggling Injury, naturally). This nearly saw him dismissed from his position as President of the Imperial College of Sturgeons, so he did not repeat it.

Yes, the Imperial Linos (weak players as rookies) have been blessed by Nuffle, with the random skill-ups being:

- Wrestle+Frenzy
- Wrestle
- Strip Ball [retired after -ST]
- Tackle

The Strip Ball never came into play, but the other skills see frequent use.

True to form, the wondrous Imperial Apoth failed in their last (15th) game. Niggle Apoth'd to Niggle (on a player with a Niggle already, so pretty much ruling him out of any re-draft). Spectacular!

To be fair, the Apoth on the opposing team in the same game was used on a Killed player. Result: Killed (naturally).

The Noble team is quite Germanic yes? And Germans often add words together to make compound words like: Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung. So I feel something like Dr Inevitablecatastrophyawaitsyou but funnier - and in German - would be a nice way to go with this.

Loads of witty German coaches on this site. I’d @angrypat if that were possible..
