Talk Fantasy Football

No, sadly I have not won the lotto!

Actually, this is more of a poll of what people think I should spend my ill gotten gains on, as I find myself uncharacteristically indecisive on the matter:

My Dwarf team have played 6 games in the A'dam league and have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 2. Thay have 8 long beards, 2 runners a Slayer and an Ogre. The A'dam league uses amalgamated 4th and 2001 rules which means that allies are still permitted, we still use cards, wizards do not need to be freebooted and stadiums can be improved. So please anyone tell me which of the following you would do with your money:

1) Astrogranite pitch (kill, maim, rend!)

2) Alchemist (Eureka, I have more money!)

3) A blitzer and a longbeard (sensible)

4) Borrow 10K for 2 blitzers (forward thinking)

5) An ally (only Norse lineman available, bah!)

6) Something else I haven't thought of...

Let me know what you would do and why. Lucy, feel free to post, but as you have a vested interest in the outcome of this poll, I will totally ignore any comments you make (as I usually do anyway )

I would give the money to my elves.

Advantages?
1- Your TR drops with 15 points, meaning you still get the better TR deal in games.
2- Elves will invest it more wisely and may even think about playing your dwarvies again.

Is that a good deal or what!

Lucy


ps: Dwarves can't handle forward thinking, so option 4 is definitely out

I think you'll find that my Dwarves, fabulously rich as they are, are not disposed to help out murderous pansies with poisoned daggers, as they are still in mourning you cheating bitch!

As for not handling forward thinking, who cares, they seem to be able to handle the ball better than your AG4 whores...

Norse, my advice: buy lots of beer. Maybe you could make a swimming pool of beer... mmmmmm
My second advice: don´t pay atention to princelucianus... I have a team of dwarves who could keep safe your gold...

Mmmmm...

does anyone have any genuine suggestions??

Sadly Ancalagon, if some opponent pulls the card where they clear out my bank account, even your sturdy Dwarves will not be enough to prevent it!! I need to spend the cash really, really soon before some thief eyes it up!!!

You see. I'm the only one giving you any constructive thoughts. The rest just want to steal your money.

I'm not like that at all

BtW, My chaos dwarves need money,
You can lend them 20.000 ? I'll repay you 30.000 after my next match.

Lucy

You are taking the almighty piss, aren't you?

Well I see you need real advice...
I don't know the rules for astrogranite so I would try the alchemist If your next match is against a weak or normal team and the players if you are going to play a bashing team.

PS: I still think that you could give your money to a dwarf brother

Astrogranite Pitch = +1 to Armour rolls on a knockdown...

Pretty good for keeping the casualty total high! Plus, as Dwarves have the highest average AV of any team and Thick Skull and Block, I feel it plays to their strengths nicely...

Not bad, not bad... but I think I prefer the other two options and I tell you why: I know that Dwarves have more armour but this field decreases op. armours and yours so the balance is kept. I mean, for me, astrogranite would be great for those teams who have really cheap players because carnage is sure doesn't matter the team who plays on it. Maybe is psychologic effect that only I see but...

I would use the old genie first wish adage, ask for more wishes. By this I mean Alchemist.

then when you stop the money train at your station buy the blitzers and the the pitch. Always try to keep your income high as bb2k1 made it very hard to get cash so once you fully change over it will be hard to get this income.

build up a reserve now. I would offer you a decent interest rate to bank it with my teams treasury, but hell 4% is good to those in euroland. I could arbitrage it and still make on the deal despite charging you a handling/security fee.

I'havent tried 2k1 yet on a league so better pay attention to those who know better (I readed voyager´s post and I have to say that I forgot how difficult could be getting money on 2k1).

I have 2 words for you Voyagers..

BETTER OFFER

I have already forced a Halfling Team to lose it's chef just three games ago, so I'd hate it to happen again. That's my fear, otherwise I totally agree with you as far as forward planning goes. At least there are no cards in the pack that can kill 2 blitzers of destroy the covering of your pitch!!!

Big risk dude....

Suggestion ... if you fear Better Offer ... wait one game and then buy the Alchemist ... seriously ... if you league switches to the BB2k1 winning table ... cash flow goes down the drain.

However as long as your league still uses the special play cards you won't notice the effect of the winnings table very much. There is too much cash in the Random Events ... its IMO almost a requirement to play BB2k1 without the cards if you want it to be balanced long term. OR if you REALLY REALLY love the cards, then its almost a requirment to play BB2k1 WITHOUT THE RANDOM EVENT cards if you want it to be balanced long term.

Galak

Alchemist now !!
A good investment for long term development of your team. Then buy a blitzer
