Legend zombie finally croaks!
Yep, it predictably happened with him only 4 TD away from his last remaining goal.
In a match up against a coach who spoke almost no english Howie Makepeace got smooshed right at the end of this match when the result was already beyond us. Would have been nice to at least have some opponent gloating at his passing :D
It was a brutal match for us. As anyone knows, Ogres kinda suck without dice rolling kindly. But boy did they roll kindly! I also played quite badly, which didn't help :D
3 zombies dead, and the greatest zombie of all time one of them.
It's been a blast having Howie, watching people gangfoul, lightning strike and generally gun for him every outing was all part of his charm for me. I burned 2 potions on him to keep him going for more records. When I first made the team the only idea was to get the highest scoring zombie of all time. He thrashed that. So here's a list of his records and achievements. Not bad for an AG2 player :D

Gud riddance to a reel pain in der arse, a trooly epic playa!

/aah. Grats on how far he came mate. You never know, maybe a scroll will come your way one day and he can grace the field once more. I shall drink to Howie tonight. *Raises glass* 'To Howie!'
Posted by PaddyMick on 2015-03-29 19:56:23
He had a good life despite being dead. Great player, he should go to zombie heaven where the brains are served on silver platters.

Darn. Surely one one of those players that would so need to show up on a more extensive/ updated "Did you know?" section and one of the bestest that plagued the fumbbl pitches.
Oh darn, what a big hit, i feel ya coach.

Ah man, that's a shame! Never played him, but it was fun to follow his prowess.
Here's one for the hall of fame!

Nuffle wanted him for something greater and finally took what was His.

Bloody sunday, rip Howie !

Mixed emotions for me as I was gearing up to ask you to finish my Slann grid off with the Great Howie as they only need Undead (that's my disappointment) but I am reet chuffed for the pleasure he gave you acquiring all those achievements and hours of gaming bliss.
Good luck to your new Ball Carrier may he surpass even Howies list of accolades, just not immediately so Howie's memory can be praised for some time :)

R.I.P. Howie. You'll always remain one of the outstanding players in the history of FUMBBL.
The Monsters feel honored to have played against you once at least (a respectable 1-1 draw).

RIP, Howie. Looks like I'm not the only one who had a bad Sunday.

Howie, oh Howie... why you had to take him, Nuffle? Take me, hear me, TAKE ME!!!

If a blog bears profoundly bad news, do you rate it 6 or 1??

Woop, Pox III moves one space up the list.
Posted by FatEddie on 2015-03-30 12:18:48
An excellent player and one that I'd have loved to play against. We will probably never see another zombie like him.

R.I.P Howie, shame Utep never got to face off against him.
Posted by Kam on 2015-03-30 17:40:41
6, fidius, 6.
Posted by akaRenton on 2015-03-30 19:34:54
@ cowhead: annoyingly I'd already planned to offer a match up as soon as he passed golradirs total to mark the completion of his goals.
Posted by akaRenton on 2015-03-30 19:41:14
@ fateddie: I do like a challenge. New mission. Make an even crazier zombie.
Posted by Balle2000 on 2015-03-30 20:53:18
So Howie was a Slann all along... (rip)

What a pity. Congratulations on one of the greatest FUMBBL carreers of all time.
