Penance Required
Having just diced Azure to bits, I responded to the continuing blitzes by the legend clawpomb rat ogre by fouling it to death (apothecary said death also).
Context: Azure offered the game as my ball carrier was MNG and I'd entered my team for a legend SMACK. So it was a favour.
I actually feel guilty. I mean, I didn't at first... bloody rat ogre was intent on killing (but for regen) some of my better players. Then Azure pointed out the painfully obvious - I have zombies. I could have, given the context, just marked the rat ogre with a zombie. I even had raised one from another dead rat. The match was won. Respect between coaches etc... stomp legend, dead, apo, dead.
Azure took it pretty well - I mean, the seething anger was palpable but he held firm and didn't meltdown.
So I feel I should offer some form of penance.
Idea 1 is to give Azure a pass to have any legal match up between a team of his and a team of mine of his choosing.
Idea 2 is to stream a video of me getting rowdy studmandudebro style (helicopter wave that shirt!) but since I do this as a hobby anyway (hello you naughty cougars!) it's probably not sufficient.
Idea 3? You suggest.

I think you should have to play 20 games with halflings and no treemen, which should have the requisite detrimental effect to your CR.

fouling splats are funny

I would go with Idea 1, but you have to continue answering his match requests until he kills a legend from any of your teams.

Of course, part of me says a good clawpomb is a dead clawpomb, and Azure probably had little sympathy for the 105 casualties that monster caused.
Would he have felt so aggrieved if I had blocked it to death? Why is fouling so looked down up? :(

Fouling is amazing and that Rogre needed a boot. if you NEED to do penance make a team for the Next Halfling Battle, you can keep your trees, it raises money for fumbbl, and you get lots of splat.
That or just put all your legends on the LoS for the next 5-10 games. someone will die.

That rogre was the last player to block Larissa:

Before his teammates fouled her about 5 times.
I'm OK with his fate. =)

To quote a brilliant man - it's a bloodbowl not some Mickey Mouse fanatics site.

I have since been introduced to some of the victims of his rat ogre, and feel considerably less like penance is required.

Idea 2 for sure, throw in some GANGNAM style dancing as well please :)

I think by not fouling Taku at the end there you have made your penance. Mind you me being a little girl and guilt tripping you into it was probably worng, but then again it was an awful match that I only played because you made me feel like i would be a pussy to say no :)

Fouling is fun!
And a thick skulled rat ogre. You did Azure a favour.

People complain about t16, but t15 you can at least say the ROgre could have otherwise got up next turn and clawpombed you..
