The Ungrateful Undead are by far my most-played team, and (by now) one of the most iconic teams of the Munich RumBBL league. Although note that the long playing history does not seem to translate to much actual success on the field.
With 47 games played, the Ungrateful Undead are second only to the Horny Gors chaos team (59) in the RumBBL. Although they are also 6th all-time for Wins, this masks the fact that their win percentage is decidedly middle of the pack (17 wins, 12 ties, 18 losses). Known for hard but fair play*, a clock-dominating ground game**, and above all hard, uncompromising defense***, the Ungrateful Undead will continue to make their mark on the RumBBL!
* - "Fair play" being highly questionable. Most of the players are thousands of years old, and started playing in the original Nehekaran league, back in the good old days when referees didn't interrupt play by worrying about trifles like whether a player was standing or not when getting blocked.
** - Not that they can't wing it out for a lightning-fast 4 or so turn passing score when needed! Although a forward pass was considered a penalty in ancient Nehekara, our Thro-Ras have mostly adjusted to this newfangled passing game and have combined for 8 completions.
*** - The defense is actually terrible; although on average the team concedes under one TD per match, this is mostly due to the fact that our ball-possession offense often limits opponents to one offensive drive per game.
Strengths:
Hard, honest Blood Bowl! The Ungrateful Undead rank first all-time in casualties dealt and it's not particularly close.
Weaknesses:
Tomb Guardians die all the damn time. Just look at those numbers next to the players. Sure, decay sucks. But you'd think with ST5, AV9, and Regeneration, they'd be mostly solid. You'd think wrong.
Also, having rolled 11 skills on various Tomb Guardians, not one was a double. And they always seem to die on one-die or two-dice-against blocks that have a both down result.
Iconic Player:
Vanilla Isis. He's not the fastest player, or the best, and he doesn't have the most Star Player Points.
But since being hired for game 2 (and then promptly getting injured and awarded MVP), he has been nothing but clutch. As team Captain, he plays fearlessly on both Offense and Defense. Rumors that the coach has been trying to get him killed for over a year, because he's TV bloat but I don't have the heart to fire him, are of course totally false.
Did you know?
Ungrateful Undead players are actually immortal. Player's souls are kept in a baseline state in canopic jars, and if their body is placed in a magic sarcophagus in their home stadium with some expensive parts and reagents, they can be cured of any injury. An unfortunate side effect of this process also wipes their memories of any recent experiences (and skills), but surely the Coach is mature enough to not abuse this for shenanigans at the annual holiday party.
