“The first game ever for both teams. Round One of the Reikland Rookie Cup 8/07, part of the OCCS. The game started off normally with the Mummies kicking off to Friends and Family. The fans (all 35k of them) errupted from teh stands and swarmed the field, stunning 6 players (5 from Friends and Family and 1 from Mummies on the Field) Slowly the Norse began moving the ball across and down the field, using their block superiority to keep the Egyptian undead at bay. Quickly things got bad when several Norse left the field. This did not stop Meg from managing to score a TD, putting Friends and Family ahead 1-0.

Shortly after that, the Mummies on the Field managed to put a bodybag around the scorer of the TD, and due to their unfortunate poverty, the Norse did not have an apothocary to help out.

The Mummies tried as they could but had the hardest time trying to pick up the ball, spending many turns fumbling around trying to pick it up while the Norse kept trying to maintain field advantave with inferior numbers. The Norse kept leaving the field as KOs and BHs and the skeletons finally managed to grab the ball and make a run for it, but in their overeagerness to score, the ball carrier fell and dropped the ball, allowing a Norse Blitzer to gain control. The half ended with very few Norsemen on the field.

The second half was a test of tactics as the Mummies tried as hard to get the ball with out the use of their KOd (from early in the first half) Thro-Ra and the Norse of Friends and Family tried staying on the field while still managing to get the ball.

Neither team did what they wanted in the second half as the score remained 1-0 for Friends and Family, but at the end of the game, only about 5 norseman remained on the field (2 Dead, one SI with a niggle and the rest in the BH or KO bin) With only 30k winnings, Friends and Family will have a tough time moving on to Round 2 of the RRC.

Good game coach Gusia, hope to meet you for a rematch sometime!”
