I had asked for a game without dwarves and what does he give us ??? Dwarves again... This time with start the game with 10 players and 3 handicaps. Hopefully, the handicaps are not affecting the number of players.</br>But this is not the only thing Nuffle did for this game. In the first half, we get very soon a dead blitzer and we decide to defend safely with no contact with the dwarves. But this is not enough. We cannot make a single clean block so the dwarves have no difficulties to hit us hard.</br>But it is not that bad, the dwarves are daring and protect the ball lightly. With two dodges, we manage to put the ball down at 2 turns of the end of the half. The runner has 4 gfi to make for the win, with blizzard. This is where Nuffle show his hand and gives the TD to the mighty dwarves.</br>So, after an heroic and almost successful defense, we start the second half with 7 players. The beginning of the half is catastrophic. Judy gets killed and with 5 players o protect the ball carrier, the ball is lost in 2 turns. The defeat seems inevitable, but this is when the stars of the team decide to show their talent.</br>Karine gets the ball back after a lucky rebound and resists to 2 blocks from the troll slayer. Then Loretta does a run to the end zone. Karine advances and make the pass, putting a tackle zone on the last dwarf covering in defense. It is a success !!!</br>The rest of the half gets easier. Karine and Loretta are pushing down every dwarf that approaches the ball while the rest of the team is stalling the slower players next to the LoS.</br>Again a bloody game where BH were still absent. Nuffle screwed us in the first half but we got our payback in the second. A good game and a good coahcing from both teams.</br>Anyhow... Please no more dwarves !!!</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=250 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 54: Bad scheduling, no miracles</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>Ultimate Steel Hammer (Dwarves)</b></br>Defeat 1-2</font></center></p><p align=justify>It is never easy to face dwarves but this is the particularity of the Blackbox. We accept every game and we have shown many times that despite the odds, a victory can always be taken. But this time, the scheduler really did us a bad trick. The opponent team was very well built, enough mighty blower to cause damage, enough guards to counter her only strength and of course more than enough tackle to block our mobility. If this wasn't enough, we start with 10 players ... oh no wait, 9 players due to the handicap.</br>There is therefore no dirty player for this game</br>We start the game and manage to switch flank with Angie and to score in turn 2. But this was not a glimpse of hope, the dwarves logically stall with no opportunity for us to defend ... until Judy tempts are longbeard on turn 8 and provokes a double skull. We are still ahead on the second half but with 6 players so no way to do anything</br>This is confirmed, the dwarves score in turn 10 and the only thing we can do is watch 3 of our teammates go to the injury box. The rest of the game is anecdotic, 3 players for 5 turns and soon 0 players to defend. Easy win for the dwarves.</br>Once again we go back with a painful defeat, 3 players will be missing the next game with again a starting roster of 10 zons. Let's hope it will not be dwarves again.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=#FF3399><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Angie: A real angel.</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>Some people make their own fame, some are just born with the good name. This is the case for Angie, this anonymous linewoman has recently become one of the fan's favorite</br>Angie, you seem really timid.</br><i>I am indeed. I really didn't expect to be one of the star on this team.</br></i>How a girl like you, who started the game on the LoS is now spoken of as an undisputed member of the team ?</br><i>Before this game, I had the reputation of a weak player. It is true than anyone in the team can best me in a physical confrontation. This is why I have worked on other abilities. I had the choice between fouling my way to the top or playing with the ball like noone else.</br></i>And you chose the second quality, this is what you have shown in this game.</br><i>Yes, In the first half, we knew the game will be lost so we decided to go for the score very soon. Federica played the decoy and I went on the other way, far from the dwarves' defense.</br></i>What a clever move you made with your dive on a failed GFI, was that intentional?</br><i>It was. We worked on this at the training session and it worked beyond hopes, I was really forgotten by the defense.</br></i>Thank you Angie, with a clever and agile player like you, the team surely has better days in the future.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=green><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Investigation on SI madness</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>Lately we had the feeling that serious injuries are multiplying while the badly hurts are kept to a minimum.</br>More than a simple feeling, this is confirmed by statistics. Over the last 6 games, since the new management, the numbers don't lie:</br>- 2 deaths</br>- 3 badly hurt</br><b>- 17 serious unjuries</b></br>Recent studies have found the reason of this problem that is making the rebuilding of the team a real nightmare. It seems that the bashy teams are always facing av9 so when they find amazons with av7 they don't hold their hit and try to break more than just the light armor.</br>The result is a constant break on the armor but also on the bones. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done against this. Introducing new light teams like, lets be ridiculous, elves (AHA elves in Blackbox) would only solve the problem at low TR because even the rookie teams are hitting pretty hard.</br>I guess the only thing to do is be patient and wait for the zons to get thicker bone.</br>Given the number of hits they are taking per game, this should be achieved very soon. We will keep you informed of the evolution of injuries in the next games.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=250 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 53: Back on the tracks</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>Yeyes (Necromantics)</b></br>Victory 2-0</font></center></p><p align=justify>A very good game from the team and deserved victory. And it was against necromantics, one of the team we had never beaten before. The 10 amazons that started the game were clearly outsiders but they manage to outplay the werewolves who were the center of the opponent strategy.</br>The first half is a defense play for the Uxel zons. Soon the ball carrier is blocked on a side with one wolf sent to KO by a strategic foul. The opposing team tries to outbash the zons by constant blitz with the remaining wolf, but this strategy has a cost .. especially against the sidestepping Loretta. On turn 4, the unsuccessful blocks of our oppoent give us a 2d opportunity on the ghoul with the ball. Loretta takes the chance and sends the ghoul to the injury box. After some confusion, with a zombie getting the bounce, we can get control on the ball and the end of the half is dedicated to avoiding blocks.</br>For the second half, the attack is less easy. We are outnumbered very quickly with again 2 team members missing th next game. This is when Loretta and Nellie decide to play rough and the result is outstanding: the game is now a 7 vs 8 battle. But we lose focus on the ball and one golem tries to reach for the draw. For once, Federica shows her skill and puts the golem down with a good assist from Karine. The rest, 3 turns left, is a piece of cake with Karine showing for the first time her agility skill and the first TD for Judy.</br>A wonderful game and the end of the curse versus Necromantics but again we will be beginning with 10 players the next game. What is happening with the multiplication of serious injuries and the disappearance of light hit, this will be the subject of our next nvestigation.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=250 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 52: Please wake me up !!</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>Haandbold Drenge (Chaos)</b></br>Defeat 1-2</font></center></p><p align=justify>This game could have been a dream. A chaos team without any tacklers and <b>16 turns of get the ref</b>. And the result is ... not a single casualtie and again a second half with 5 players.</br>Noone to blame in the team for this apocalyptic game, the chaos were just too good at POWing all around. The first half wen directly bad as we only landed one proper foul (with 2 assists) but not even a scratch on the chaos armor. We manage to score by outrunning the chaos warriors but 3 turns are more than enough for the chaos to score and tie at halftime. On the other side, the get the ref made major damage on our team with 2 serious injuries and a death.</br> With again a desperate defense, we manage to keep the fun by throwing nonsense blocks but the nothing to worry the opponents. The last death on one last POW is a punishment for a "dirty" player. The rebuilding is taking another bad slope wih a crippled linewoman but the lesson is well learned for Karine who will be our agile warrior now. Next tie we will be less confident about beating a weaker team on the paper because as the chaos coach concluded "tackle is a waste when you can POW your way through".</br>Now we need to think about the outcome of the new management, was it all worth it ? The fans are saying yes and will continue to come and watch the games. That the most important thing.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=#FF3399><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Karine: The new queen</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>I am here with Karine, one of our young blitzezr who gave a good performance today even if she couldn't avoid the defeat. Karine, a word about the game</br><i>This was very hard, the chaos were taking advantage of every block to bring the pain and on the contrary we had a lot of difficulties to use the few opportunities we had</i></br>You blocked 3 times the ball carrier but couldn't do more than pushing him away from you, disappointed?</br><i>Of course ! It was desperate mesures but I had hop it would work at least once. Too bad for us because the chaos were all in offense and a counter attack would have been deadly</i></br>People are now speaking of you as the future captain of the team, when Loretta leaves.</br><i>I have heard that and I am flattered but I wish Loretta will continue with us as long as possible. She gives us the spirit and her support and experience is very important to balance the games when the scheduler chooses a funny matchup.</i></br>Will the coach give you new assignments ?</br><i>I have been practicing a lot on my ball handling with good results. I will be more focus on the offense now. My role has always been to help the stars of the team but now I need to become one. This is an exciting challenge.</i></br>Thank you for your time, we wish you a long and successful carrier and I hope your scoring will make you a place in the hall of fame.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=100 bgcolor=black><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=white><b>Rest in peace: Clea, the frustrated fouler</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=white><p align=justify>Clea has been in the team lon enough to be a star but was only considered an experimented player when deatch took her from the field. One would say a dirty player is meant to have minimum skills but our lack of commitment has always been an issue for the team. An average of only one foul per game is not acceptable when the tea is counting on you to balance their lack of protection.</br>It is not a surprise to see her die on a game where the lack of foul is the main regret.</br>We will still cry a bit for her and she will be in our hall of fame, but the perspective of a better replacement is bringing us joy. Clea, you will not be missed on the field, we cry because you are part of the family ... the retarded part.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=250 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 51: The rookie experiment</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>Einschikker (Undeads)</b></br>Draw 1-1</font></center></p><p align=justify>Another good game for the team even if the victory is not ours. With a starting roster of 10 players against another undead team filled with dirty players, we were afraid to last less than one half. So we decided to be patient and defend without contact. This turned out well, the opponent got distracted and tried to boost one of his mummy. The ball was protected by a single mummy and a 2d against block was enough to take care of the ball and land a counter attack at the last minute of the half.</br> The second half was more difficult, our attack got stopped and we got soon overpowered. With lucky bounces we kept a chance of winning during 4 turns but at the end of the game, we started to fall apart and again a single amazon will be finishing the game</br>An enteraining game where the rookies of the team were the good surprises. One touchdown and a MVP for the rookie blitzer and a casualtie for the rookie catcher. But the preformance doesn't stop at the statistics: a convincing game for both of them with good dodges, good fighting spirit and a permanent danger for our opponent. With the support of the undestructible Loretta, the new players of the team are building a good future for the team.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=green><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Investigation on the suspicious faints</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>In the last 2 games, the reports of suspicious faints have been multiplying to the point of insteresting the board of directors. A commission of apothecary will be watching the trainings of the team and the next game attentively to determine if the faints are feinted or if there is a link with the training mode.</br> Is it a faint from the fear of being ripped off on the pitch or is a collapse from the harshness of the pre-match. It is true that since the number of players in the team has been reduced by 2 and the number of assistant coaches has raised by 10 times, the players are complaining about having 2 coaches assigning them exercises.</br> Anyhow, this is not a reason for leaving the pitch early without any blood pouring from your body !</br></br><u>Cases under investigation</u></br>- <i>Loretta:</i> during Game 50, she anticipated the start of the second half and blitzed towards the ball. When attempted to push herself closer to the ball, she fell and collapsed.</br>With the efforts she had put into the game and her age, she is declared not faking and will not be punished.</br>- <i>Judy:</i> during Game 51, she tried to put a tackle zone on the ball carrier after a hard battle with the ball near the endzone.</br>Even if her fall can be partially due to a moral distress after missing a touchdown, she had many opportunities to leave the field before that and didn't not take them. She will not be punished.</br>- <i>Dominique:</i> during Game 51, aat the end of the game, she was among the 3 remaining zons on the field without any realistic chance of defending the win. She fell with no opposition and went directly to KO. </br>For this obvious way of avoiding hits, she will be sanctionned by a full game on the LoS.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=#00CCFF><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Memories: Crazy Simone</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>Every fan of the Uxel zons remembers Simone, the crazy blitzer. She was the first captain of the team even with her particular game style.</br>Her favorite move was to push players outside the field, this is probably why she was the fan favorite. She learned the Frenzy skill very soon and had to deal with dangerous blocks, without support most of he time. But she did very well in this type of play and with the time she spent near the crowd, she learned to stand firm on the field. With this skill combo she thought she was undesructible.</br>But on a sunday afternoon, she pushed her luck too far and failed a 2d block, followed by a 2d against block which resulted in a turnover. No big deal ... except it was a unnecessary block just before a sure score and as a result of this mistake, the catcher of the team was pushed outside the field and died. Simone never made her peace about this event and on a heroic game where she led a 3 against 8 defence, she got injured badly and preferred to stop her carrer.</br>She will always remain in the heart of the fans, with her former record of the most blocks thrown by an amazon player in the Blackbox and the still pending record of the most casualties for the team.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=250 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 50: Better than expected</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>Simpson Team (Undeads)</b></br>Defeat 1-2</font></center></p><p align=justify>Difficult to be disapointed about this defeat of the team today. With a starting roster of 7 players against a full undead team, even mostly rookies, we could not expect a victory from the gals.</br>But the game was pleasant and at some point, a draw seemed possible. At the beggining of the second half, after the lucky equaliser on an ununderstandable dodge of the star mummy, the Uxel zons took the initiative and blitzed their opponent on the kick-off. But Loretta, who was the uncontested hero of the game so far, tripped on a go for it to put some pressure on the ball. A bad fall that led to a KO, soon followed by 2 cas that left the team with 2 valid players on the field.</br>Alone 2 turns later after the serious injury of Bunny, Alexis managed to land some good blocks on the ball carrier but could not secure the draw. It almost cost her her hand on a "finish him" foul.</br>A good game overall even if the team is again below 11 players at next game. Team rebuilding will take more time than expected.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=#FF3399><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Loretta: Bloody birthday</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>A weird birthday for Loretta who was celebrating its 50th game. The last players from the starting roster, who has never missed a game will now be answering my questions.</br>Loretta, first of all Happy birthday !!!</br><i>Thank you, and thanks to all the staff, the fans and my teammates for making this possible.</i></br>Being the team oldest players and the undisputed captain, is it a burden ?</br><i>Not a all ! I am proud to be an essential member of the team and I make my best to put my experience at the service of the team.</br></i>This game was half great half a disaster for you.</br><i>Indeed, I made a great first half with 3 casualties included a dead undead, it is always good to start like this. Unfortunately, I had no more strength for the second half and all started to go blank as soon as I blitzed in turn 8. I tried to reach for the ball but then ... nothing and I woke up after the end of the game</br></i>Yes, that was a bad surprise for everyone but don't worry we all believe in you. What are your goals now ?</br><i>I want to start showing my name on the team records and maybe at the Blackbox hall of fame also. Starting with the most casualties by beating the record of my friend Simone.</br></i>And your biggest fear ?</br><i>I would have to say ageing. Dying or being crippled on the field is what I have signed for but stopping my carreer by elderness is a disgrace. I want to die on the pitch !!</br></i>The message will be passed to all you next opponents so ... kidding of course !</tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=150 bgcolor=#FF3399><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Alexis: Feeling lonely ?</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>Interviewed about her performance at the end of the game, the hero of the game declared : "Being alone on the field has happened to a lot of my teammates and there is nothing to be proud of. It is our job to entertain the crowd til the last breath. I don't feel let down by the team, I just was lucky enough to survive all the hits and kicks, the rest is just desperation. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. This time it worked half way and it was fun for everyone"</br> It was fun indeed, 5 turns alone against 6 undeads and she managed to land 2 proper 1d blocks on the ball carrier. Unfortunately, both of them were useless.</br> A good word also for the apoth who repaired her hand during the las minutes of the game. That would have been a bad reward for her courage.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=100 bgcolor=#C0C0C0><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Bunny: Retirement at last</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><p align=justify>Bunny, the eternal scrimmage fodder is finally leaving the field after 28 games in the shadows. Bunny is not feeling a bit sad, two fractured legs and a damaged back were hurting her every game, the next injury could have put her in a wheelchair.</br>She will now cheer for her former teammates and will be missed by all the rookies who will be now facing the mummies and other clawed creatures without her experienced support.</p></tr></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=800 height=300 bgcolor=white><td colspan=2><center><font size=+1 face=times color=Black><b>Game 49: No suffering, no glory ...</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2><font size=2 face=times color=black><center><b><font size=+1>On a sunday afternoon (Chaos)</b></br>Victory 2-0</font></center></p><p align=justify>The first game with the new management and the result is a victory.</br>Based on this conclusion only, one could say that the recent decisions were a success. However, we must consider that the opponent team was a crippled TR200 team that could have been matched up with the old version of the team. But let's stay positive and analyse the game as professionals.</br> The game starts with 11 zons facing 11 chaos and only one tackler. The amazons defend first and a first mistake from the chaos ogre gives a good positional advantage to our team. It is then more complicated for the chaos to go on and they have to get rid of the traditional cage for a more adventurous attack.</br> This is when the duo Alexis-Federica strikes. A blitz, a pick-up and dump off comes to the rescue ... except it is intercepted. But the attackers are completely disoganised by the turn of events and cannot conclude.</br> Second half starts bad for the uxel zons with 2 players stuck in KOs and 2 injuries. 7 zons vs 8 chaos, no more tacklers. A quick score is done without too much problems given that the chaos prefer to gang foul a rookie instead of defending. This coul pay with the 2 KOs staying down. However, with a 6 players defense and some pickup failures from the chaos, the 2-0 happens, taking the life of a bestman in the progress.</br> A good win but <b>4 players</b> will be missing next game. 8 players will try to survive and bring a honorable defeat for the 2nd game of the new era.</p></tr></table>
