“A match for the ages and beyond! Competing for the right to advance to the fumbbl smack finals, these two teams asked for no quarter and gave even less! Like two heavyweight fighters slugging it out toe-to-toe, neither backing down regardless the damage being suffered. It was a toss-up for bashiness at the outset--he had two rsc players, a claw/rsc, and an RO vs my lone claw/rsc and dp, no RO. Game opens with a niggle to his RO, apo save, followed by foul-ko for three drives, and things just never slowed down from there. I was a tad careless with my claw/rsc, allowing him to get surrounded and gang-fouled twice--first time MNG, apo save; second time niggle. Which really, really sucks as he passed his 126 spp roll after the game aging only -av...can't afford to keep a niggled player costing me 34 TR by himself when the team's so decimated, so have to let him go.

But he'd done his damage, and by game's end it was clear that whoever advanced (him, as he took out my gutters and I couldn't remove his one) has zero chance in the final vs a fully healthy orc team. But after this match, anything else would be rather anticlimactic anyway...

Killed one of his RSC...-str MNG'd the second...niggled his claw/rsc via unsupported foul by non-dp...48 spp SV killed via thrown stone...niggled a linerat...

He niggled my megastar claw/rsc...-ma MNG'd a gutter...killed a lino...MNG'd my DP (already niggled, means retirement)...

In all, 14 cas between the teams, not counting the thrown stone RIP, yet only 2 BH. This might not be the record for bloodiest fumbbl match, but I doubt (and pray) I'll ever see another like...”
