PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Living in Woodbridge, Virginia (East Coast of the United States)

Born: February 20, 1967

Time Zone: EST or GMT -5

Favorite NFL team: Green Bay Packers

Formerly known as Ray_Gitzkey. Ray_Gitzkey only cared about winning in the Ranked Division. He was named after the Green Bay Packer's Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Nitchske.

Name changed after my brother passed away at the age of 35. Vinnie Spleenmasher enjoys playing mostly Ogres, due to the fact that Ogres fit my personality! Named after the character in the movie, My Cousin Vinnie.

-----------------------------------------------------------
RAY GITZKEY

The early years:
Ray Gitzkey was found foraging in a cabbage patch many years ago by a band of rouge Orks, who sold him into a life of hard labor working the Trans-Lantic Ore mine in the wastelands. The work made his muscles strong but the mental abuse made his mind feeble. He was sold again to Curly Slambeau who needed players for his Ork Bay Packers. Because of his limited budget, Curly bought most of his players off the black market. He knew conditions at the frozen tundra of SLAMbeau Field were unbearable, so the scourge of society would think him as a demi-god for supplying "three hots and a cot." It wouldn't matter if the three meals were bread and Milwaukee's Beast beer or the cot was made of wood, he would be praised for his kindness. His players would love him.

Playing Days:
Ray was a star Black Orc from 1667 to 1791. He was a basher and a slasher in his playing days for the Ork Bay Packers. His greatest game was when he forgot his pants in a game against the New Orc Giants. What is so great about that? This allowed him date the entire Giant cheerleading squad! His worst game happened when he accidentally tripped over his helmet and fell on OBP's star thrower, Brat Starr. Starr broke his leg and missed the entire 1791 season. This mishap forced Lungbasher into retirement. He would never play again. Word spread like wildfire that he was cursed. No one wanted "the cursed one" playing on their team.

Coaching Days:
Lungbasher has a distinct "beat them til they bleed" attitude. A renegade dwarf team, The Misfits, paid Lungbasher an incredible sum of money to become their coach. Lungs, as he is called, has managed to teach his players his one slogan: Your Ass is CAS! The Misfits led the league in casualties for many seasons, but had few wins. The Misfits disbanded after the commissioner outlawed ogres on Dwaven teams. Trying to regain his softer side, Lungbasher spends his time coaching elves. Softer side?! His outbursts against the BBRC are legendary. He hates the BBRC and knows that they are out to get him! Ever since the BBRC entered the controversial "D6" roll, Lungs has been irrate. The BBRC has restuructured BB from a game of blocking and tackling to a game of chance and luck! Warning: Don't get him started on his views of the BBRC's Kick-Off table!

I ADMIT I AM A SNOB:

Ode to a Blood Bowl Snob

Blood Bowl is the game I hate
As we all know it is a game of fate
No skill involved just dice we roll
So often of times we end up in the hole

Games down to the wire I do crave
The dice so often do not behave
But what of the matter I move onto the next
Hoping to avoid the dice being hexed

Thankfully I work from home
BB helps me from becoming a gnome
I play Scrabble, Dominos, PlayStation too
But nothing is better than hearing the BB fans boo

I am a snob because I don’t care
An exciting game is all I want to share
Just give me games to play throughout my day
Ones and skulls staying far, far away

-----------------------------------------------------------
MY OPINION OF THIS GAME:

The thing that pisses me off about Blood Bowl: The Ucking Dice! This game is based on luck! UGH! I know the BBRC could make this game based on skill rather than luck! I HATE THE BBRC! The BBRC loves fugly (*ucking ugly) games. BB games are often too predictable and boring. The dice rule and take over the game.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN:

I HATE THE BBRC!

BB IS BORING AND PREDICTABLE!

BB: BIGEST CROCK OF SH*T THERE IS!

BB: NO SKILL! ALL LUCK!

IMHO: BLOOD BOWL JUST SIMPLY SUCKS!
-----------------------------------------------------------
WHY I KEEP PLAYING:

If you are a golfer or a fisherman, you know the reason! You hit a 1,000 drives for that one great shot. You throw a 1,000 casts for that one ten-pound bass. You play a 1,000 BB games for that one exciting game!

-----------------------------------------------------------
MY REASON FOR PLAYING OGRES:

Long ago, I bought a full team of ogres. This includes the head coach and apoth figures. They were damn expensive! I painted each one and was looking forward to playing them. The BBRC took their sweet time to create the rules and make the ogres official. UGH! The arseholes (BBRC) decided to strip the ogres of general skills! They also limited the number of goblins that an ogre team can have to six. This forces a team to have only 1 reroll. I am playing ogres as a protest against the BBRC! I have sold all of my other BB stuff as well. I am not buying another BB item until the ogres, at the least, get thier general skills back.

-----------------------------------------------------------
TEAMS THE OGRES REFUSE TO PLAY:

My Ogres will not play elves, dwarves or necro teams. The dice always goes against the Ogres versus those teams which makes for some very boring games!

TEAMS THE OGRES LOVE TO PLAY:

I HAVE FOUND THE BEST GAMES FOR OGRES ARE VERSUS ORCS!

-----------------------------------------------------------
HIGHEST COACH RANKING THAT DOES NOT MEAN A THING...and I have know idea how this happened: 168.56 on 11-12-06 (before the change) and 160.01 on 4-12-07 (after the change).

CR is utterly pointless. If the game was based on skill, CR would be valid. CR stands for Cherypicking Required!

LISTEN CLOSELY AND YOU MAY HEAR SOME OF VINNIE'S CLASSIC LINES:

"F**K YOU BBRC!"
"Hell yes, I am f**king talking to you!"
"Hey Ref, whipe that f**king pigeon shite out of you eyes!"
"What the hell is going on out there?!"
"If you don't start performing, I'll sell all your arses to the Norsemen!"
"You can take that BBRC rulebook and shove it up your arse!"
"No blood, no foul!"
"Foul that f**cking bastard!"
"The BBRC can take that 4 minute turn limit and shove it up their arse!"
"The BBRC is taking all the fun out of the game!"
"Take that clock and shove it up your bung!"

-----------------------------------------------------------
"LEAGUE"

The term "League" as explained by Arktoris on 2007-02-27: I very happy with the new name for Unranked; I've always considered it the Tournament division and Ranked was Open division, as those two terms best described them. I think the name "Unranked" turned off a lot of coaches since it seemed a demotion for your teams to play there...even though it wasn't. I think the division will get more respect with its more accurate term.
