“There was much excitement before the historical first match for both the Snakeeyes and the Return of the Ancients. So much so that the huge crowds of fans actually delayed the kickoff for nearly half the first half before they could get to their seats.

Finally the match started, with the Snakeeyes kicking to the Ancients, who rather quickly scored their first TD after an amazing pass from the wight Wosret to the wight Nuiserre. With only two turns left, mostly due to the riots, the skink Patecatli showed the fans what speed can do and scored in turn.

In the second half the Snakeeyes could only field nine players against the undead ten, and they tried to do a quick repeat of their first goal. But after a missed handoff to speedbullet Patecatli (who had a free run to the goalline) the rest of the half degenerated into a slugfest where no team could get hold of the ball. The undead got the better of the lizardmen in the ensuing bashing, but the lizzies were able to stop them from scoring, more than a little helped by the undeads sorely lacking ballhandling skills.

The crowds were already starting on their way out, and the coaches were on the verge of shaking hands after the match, when the news suddenly hit them. This was no ordinary game after all, this was in the WWB and overtime was the order of the day!

The Snakeeyes won the coin flip, and once again they tried for a quick TD to end the game, but this time they didn't even manage to pickup the ball before the undeads came rushing. Another wild melee ensued and the few lizardmen remaining had their hands full holding of the undead, much less actually scoring themselves. In the end no team managed to score and it went all the way to penalty shootout before the Ancients could be declared winners!

Thanks for this intense and bizarre game Mashandarious! The Snakeeyes now have revenge to look forward to when we play again in round 12... ;)
