What team should I take to Cake Bowl?

Post by Loki »

I have a dilemma and having never put a poll up thought I would use this as an excuse to do one.

I am working my way through the 24, I just hit double figures 10 tournaments, 10 teams. All fine so far. This year I decided, for no better reason than I could, to take Stuntys. All was still fine, Welsh Open = Ogres, ARBBL = Stunty Underworld, NAFC = Flings and Gert Bowl = Goblins; I have already played Lizards so was going to avoid Skinks.

I am now going to be able to get to another Tournament (Yay!), Cake Bowl, but this leaves me a problem. This year the tournaments in the South-West (ish) [of the UK] are having an overarching tournament where your results from the best three tournaments (out of six) are combined for an overall winner. Having or planning to take Stuntys to three it seems silly not to take Stuntys to the fourth BUT that means a repeat on the road to the 24.

Should I take Skinks and play all 5 recognised Stuntys in five consecutive tournaments (and repeat ‘Lizardmen’) OR take Ogres as I feel they would be my most competitive Stuntys (repeating Ogres but trying to do my best in the South-West Trophy) OR take something else towards completing the 24 (but they would have to be non-stunty)?*

*This in no way forms a binding contract and I reserve the right to change my mind on a whim

Says the Skink player..... :lol:


I'd suggest Ogres and go for most CAS* as well. This means spamming Piling On, Sneaky Git and Dirty Player :)

*though dont try to hard, as I am also going for that with a Mighty Blow spamming Norse team

Skinks - if you're doing the Stunty Shuffle, do it in style.

Was this a geniune opinion or just one [GASP] of your inflammatory statements.

I understood that they don't have a great presence in the Stunty Hall-of-Fame.
