Hi everybody,

Maïté and I finally decided which college to pick so we now need still some figures for our teams so If someone can borrow Maïté 2 skaven blitzers, 2 skaven throwers and 4 gutter runners you would make her very happy!!! .

And if someone could borrow me 4 orc blitzers then you would make me happy 2!!!

Remind me on friday and I'll bring them along. I have no idea if I'll be playing myself (doesn't look good ad the moment as the numbers are odd).

Start on Saturday is 11.00 and we're trying to finish between 17.30 and 18.00.

Start on sunday is relaxed at 12.00.

If you can send me the rosters by email, I can fill in the tool and we can start asap.

[El Condor]

I'm sorry guys I can't make it this year. Some family matters poped up which need my attention.

[Old Man Draco]

Really to bad Marco. I hope nothing too serious. Mail me please if you can.

Also Totti dropped out for much the same reasons, but nothing to worry about there.

I wish you all the best and somehow we'll have to manage without you.

[kwèk]

I don't want to shoot under dracos' pigeons... But I just trow it into the community.


Things that popped up in my mind:


Q: Do Ogres have Loner?
A: No, but all the other biggies do (like minotaurs, trees, trolls)

Q: What abouth the uber zap (total meltdown / toad explotion problem)
For instance:
Player A casts Uberzap of 4. This means 2 players from each team turn into toads. In the same turn player A smashes a toad, and kills him.
Some wizard in the stand says: Don't do that, and zaps 1 player on either side.
What if a toad gets zapped? This means a toad gets killed, so another (or same) wizard will cause vengeance again. What if he zaps another toad (doesnt matter on wich side of the team it is) this will create 2 new toads. What if 1 of the 2 new toads is already a toad, and melts away, this triggers the effect again and 2 new toads are created.
This creates the possibility of a total pitch clearanence on both sides in turn 1, cause toads just keep melting away in the pitch -> new toads created -> result: everyone turns into a toad, only toads will be zapped, everyone melts. Your first half will end after 5 minutes. Also, the rest of the half will have to be fought out by the reserves (if they don't get zapped by the the other wizard).
This incident can happen if there are at least 2 toads on the pitch, but it's more likely to happen if 2 wizards cast a potential big "uberzap" in the same drive. If the effect doesnt trigger immediately, there is a big chance that it will happen after the first toad gets smooshed by anny player.
A: I'm working on it, and the rules will get addapted before the tournament starts. Most possibly I'll won't allow the vengefull wizard to zap a toad. I can also put in a rule that if a wizard zaps a toad by accident (not with the uberzap) they stop zapping because they are overcome by grief.

Q: Do melted toads zapped by wizards count as a toad kill.
A: NO, only blocked and fouled toads will count for this result.

Q: Why does toadzilla dont have "jump up" and "MB" to cover for the loss of "leap" and the gaining of muscles.
A: it still is a toad kwèk, go to sleep.

[Old Man Draco]

This is indeed correct. you are not allowed to target another toad anymore with a wizard. In contrary with the written rules at überzap, the end of the rules state that the wizards love the little frogs. So they will never target them on purpose for revenge, even if before it was a troll or a mummy.
But note that Random players DO include toads. The wizards can controle the first player they zap, but never the second, third etc. Also Toad invasion cannot be controled as the magic is out of contole.

BTW, you will all get a form (the players only of course! ) to fill in where you can tell me what you liked and what not.

Ogres do not have LONER because they don't have it in the rulebook either. Mino's, Tree's (we're playing LRB 5 this year) and the other "big guys" still do.

Any questions, don't hesitate to call me.

And if you did not send them yet then get working! I want your rosters!

[iik0n]

Did you recieve our rosters Draco? I e-mailed them yesterday.....

Can't wait for this weekend of complete madness...

Greetz
Maïté and David

[Old Man Draco]

Yes David, I got them both!

Thanks and don't forget to bring them yourself on saturday!

[Xod]

But on the bright side kwèk, Jelmer can't start his game with 'überzap, 3, not enough, reroll!' anymore, since you can't reroll spells, to bad though.

Nevertheless I love these chaos rules Draco!

[sirsebstar]

eh, yes you can.
As Wizards are considered very much part of the team at the Colleges of Magic Cup, they are permitted to use team re-rolls if they so wish.

[sirsebstar]

Utrecht at the Korenbeurs is happy to have us again for some BloodBowl mayhem.

Draco. Maybe its just me, but is there a scedule or timetable so i know when to be where?

damn, missed that, I thought it changed this year

(if only I knew that in my last testgame)

[Old Man Draco]

FAQ, no you can't!

Timetable is posted here somewhere!

Saturday 11.00
Sunday 12.00

[Old Man Draco]

And it's all over!

Thank you all for attending, I really hope you enjoyed yourselves and will keep you updated on the ruleschanges that might occur for next years event.

Some parts of the rules will be different as we have agreed upon during the tournament and as you have written on the paper you all filled in.

Winner of the tournament was JJ! Congratulations!

Of course we don't have to mention who who most killed toads....

Cheers and see you all around somewhere and hopefully again next year.

Draco

WALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
