FUSS - Fairplay Under-Scrutiny-Style!
Does it get on your nerves that players keep fouling just to scrap a team instead of playing to win?
Are you sick of losing well-developed players to the whim of some dice rolled by some maniac who has nothing better to do than foul your players with some cheap ran-off-the-mill Hobgobbo or whatever?
Then THIS league is for you...
<b>RULES:</b>
1. The whole gameplay is as if you were "under scrutiny" - that is, no tricks, and NO FOULS allowed.
Any player that fouls another is BANNED FROM THE TEAM, not for the game, but OUT (and not even to a coach) - the player so caught will be retired, no matter what.
2. less violence - every RIP past the 1st per game that is CAUSED by a PLAYER will result in the same - the player who caused this fatality is to be RETIRED, period. That way, you might think twice if you really want to do unneccessary blocks. Of course, RIPs DO happen without fouls, but they need not be provoked - this Rule should remind players that they won't need all that Razor sharp Claws, Horns, Mighty Blow and such... and if they have it, think about letting another player block...
RIPs caused by the other player himself (such as on a failed GFI, or as a result of a Skull on his own block die), do NOT count to this number.
3. Mighty Blow and Frenzy are limited to ONE PLAYER per team, each. If one has both (like a Minotaur or Rat Ogre), that is your single player that may have them and NONE other will ever get them.
4. No Dirty Player allowed. period. Fouls are illegal anyway, so are Dirty Players. Same is true for Piling On.
5. StarPlayers and Freebooters ARE principally allowed - as long as the team still fits in the rules.
E.G., no Star with DP or PO may be hired, as well as no Star/Freebooter with Frenzy and/or Mighty Blow, unless you don't have such a player (or such a player is missing a game).
<b>Teams:</b>
Most races are permitted - but remember the above rules, not all races are really well playable to full extent. This will mainly concern Undead/Khemri, who may respectively never have more than ONE Mummy, Dwarves (one Slayer), DE (one Witch Elf), Norse (one Blitzer OR Mino), Chaos and Necros (Horns and Claws make avoiding Block-RIPs difficult sometimes).
Vampires are permitted, Ogres are NOT - guess why. Pact Teams are also not permitted, as are any "cheater" teams with secret weapons (under scrutiniy, remember?).
Oh, and that's FRESH Teams, and you should bring along a FF of AT LEAST 5.
<b>Scoring:</b>
A Win will get 10 Points for the winner, a Loss gets 1 point still; in case of a tie both receive 5 Pts.
Every TD past the second will get extra points (3: + 2, 4: + 4, 5: + 8, and so on).
Casualties won't GET you any points, but possibly COST you some - Every RIP caused will give -2, every SI with "consequences" (n or attribute Mod) will give -1.
So, if you like the idea, feel free to make up a team and sign up...
<b>League Play:</b>
Depending on the amount of players interested in this league, there will be multiple Divisions and Playoffs.
