A Lesson Learned
This has never happened to me before. Never before has Nuffle, that most glorious of all gods, He on high, He of the Bloody Studs, He of the Golden Balls, deserted me so utterly.

My petulant response I now regret. I understand that neither my opponent's style, nor my actions mattered. I understand that the Elves were cursed. I loved that team, but I now understand that Nuffle could not allow it to survive. With a mere seventeen games under their belt, they had built strongly, gaining few ordinary skills. Instead, they had collected a plethora of doubles and stat increases, including a strength four catcher and two agility 5 elves. Clearly this kind of luck had insulted the mighty God.

Even more clearly, I must rededicate myself to Nuffle, regain my humility and devotion.

So, although my first impulse is to alter my match report - in my newfound humbleness, I find myself ashamed of its petulant, self-serving nature. However, in my devotion to Nuffle, I find myself unable to erase my mistakes, and must instead apologise. I prostrate myself before Him and ask for His forgiveness.

My elves have gone, have left the building. But my desire to play remains. I will make my sacrifices and oblations. Having consulted with the oracles, I now understand that the aerial play of the elves does not please Nuffle in this quarter, for the moon is in ascendant, and Jupiter in is decline. Therefore, I have begun a new project. Nuffle's blessing may be in doubt, but hobgoblins are stupid, and Chaos Dwarves have thick skulls.

In His honour, I give you the Gold Minors

Coming from you Jan, I am humbled.
Posted by JanMattys on 2010-04-15 11:10:17
It was a compliment.
This blog rocks :-)
Posted by nazgob on 2010-04-15 11:13:20
I know it was a comliment - is why I was humbled.

For your Hellfishes are the epitome of style.

Very nice blog. I wish some more people would be more humble like this :)

Unlucky with the game, a minor note is that he had accepted a game against my dwarves and I had the game ready to accept the client until your elves offered themselves, hence you were cherrypicked to a degree

You went the way of the Malmir.

Regrettable, but understandable. Just remember, that his Nuffleness likes to humiliate bashers as well - not as often, but even harder when he chooses to do so.

That is outstanding. I'll hand this to you though...not many elf players would so confidently ramble into a game with Khemri and then stay as long as you did with bloody mess going on.

Dead Elves... and the problem is...?
Posted by Asgovic on 2010-04-15 17:13:41
Warmaster. I remember some serious whining and rage quit from you in nufflings of much less proportions.

This blog is about overcoming the frustrations such games may cause and remembering that it's just a game.

Maybe you could learn from this, I dont know.

lol @ asgo : )

Great blog. I thought your match report was fine, as well. It always sucks to retire a team you really like. Good luck in your quest to regain Nuffle's favor.

You should write more blog entries nazgob!
Posted by Timlagor on 2010-04-15 22:47:07
You could edit some of this into the match report ...just cos you don't feel you should delete the comment there doesn't mean you can't add to them.
Posted by nazgob on 2010-04-16 09:28:45
Wow...

Thanks guys. I'm awed and humbled all over again by all of your responses.

And I think I see a few interesting ideas from Timlagor and princevaliant there.
