we had 9 willing to play at one point but it has, due to work and other personal issues, dropped down to 4 .. that's far too few.

Also, team Oranje thinks that EB has 'strayed' off the path that was set out in the beginning too much. It was meant as fun, fun and fun and the chance to play some blokes that you wouldn't play in a regular tournament or league play. The whole swiss / swiss / random / whatever discussion does in fact take away some of the fun for us.

I'll let the final decision know later this week

I'm very sad about this: I hope that you can find at least 2 players to build the team. I'll keep my fingers crossed and wait for further news

you're not half as sad as we are I guess .. you've got a sh!tload of good fun coming up .. we'll be sitting, straining behind our PC's to catch a glimmer of any standings

Did you ask SirSebstar? He is on the Freebooters list...

he's one of the four guys that are on my list .. the dropouts are making sure that creating a team is quite impossible

No Dutchies? Omg, the one team we'd leave behind us for sure

Tell all the people complaining about it not being for fun anymore that dropping out is only going to push things further towards the "taking it way too seriously" direction.

8 teams of Orange Goblins. Come on fellas. Say "Sod it", come to Italy and have a laugh. That's why I'm going at least. Let the muppets who will be all upset if they don't come first do their thing. There'll be plenty of us who are there for socials first and victory second.

This conversation begin to get tasty.

not possible...take halflings instead.

Or a
All Trambi Trambi Team... that would suit well in that concept

Not so much fails to grasp as completely forgot about it. Memory like a sieve, me.

I like Fondu's idea, though I'd love to see an all Rotter Nurgle team (instead of the Orcs).

I can supply an Orange Ogre team if so desired.

Thinly veiled attempts to get another nation to take the weaker races so you don't come last more like ;]

A team with:
-goblin
-halfling
-ogre
-vampire
-underworld
- lezardmen with skinks
- orc with 4 goblins
- chaos dwarves with only hobgob (cf laraigne team...

)
...
is already possible
