“There was some confusion at the start of the match...the challenge read "my rats without claw/rsc", to which my opponent accepted thinking I meant neither claw NOR rsc, and I meant without the combination claw AND rsc. Some grumping ensued, but kingbee decided to soldier on and keep playing.

Turns out it wasn't the clawed gutter he should worry about (though he did niggle a rookie linerat and got 3 ko's) but my RO, who just went to town this game with the hat-trick in cas.

Game was a back and forth affair, with his OTS trying to keep up with my entire team of rats, most specifically Hairy. He very nearly succeeded, too, with idiot me trying for that one last spp via passing only to drop the ball and have his gutters steal it away from me. However, by this point gutters and his RO was just about all he had left on-pitch, so it was only a matter of time before I had my shot on his rat, snatching the ball away with my str3 gutter, nary an enemy tackle around. His last-ditch blitz couldn't get a POW, and I was able to advance the ball for the go-ahead score, one turn to go. Despite all my efforts, his OTS was still standing, and it looked like a draw...until he failed his pass to get him the ball, and time expired.

Damn, what a pounding! And on top of the bashing I delivered, he MNG'd another rat via failed dodge, with the MVP going to one of his nigglers. It was just that kind of game for my boys, yet kingbee's rats absolutely refused to go away quietly! Grats on the effort to keep up, and gl with their future endeavours.”
