“A truly Unbelievably! entertaining match was played here between two teams relying upon speed and matchups. The rats decided to kick first, and were caught flatfooted by Luke Atme, an elven one-turn scoring machine, who raced past for the 1-0 lead after only 1/2 of the game's very first turn. We scratched our heads a little, then tried to do our own imitation of the feat using our very own Faster Than Light super-gr, only to have him trip and fall on his face, knocking himself silly and giving the ball to the opponents, who then made it 2-0 after his third turn.

Ulp!

A double-1 trying to pick up the ball left my big-handed QB staring back and forth at the ball next to him and all his teammates downfield with preparatory blocks, expecting a throw which would never come. Tears of frustration rolled down his snout as he looked up at the surrounding elves who didn't come to get his autograph. Score 3-0, 5 turns in. Things are looking very bleak.

With some skillful application of a guarding storm vermin I was able to spring open a hole along the sideline for my gr to streak through, slipping past multiple blockers to score at the end of the half, making it 3-1 as the teams went back to the locker rooms to contemplate the disaster in the making.

But the coach wans't seeing disaster--he was seeing opportunity for a historic comeback in the making! The rats raced out after his speech all fired up, and took no time at all to convert the 2nd half kickoff into a 2nd straight score. The elves then botched a pass from an ag 4 passer to an ag 4 catcher. In raced the rats to pluck it up and soon we had a 3-3 tie! The crowd went nuts! My foe said it was just incredible. I told him it was...

Unbelievable!

Another couple scores traded hands in rapid succession, and then the Jugglers received the kickoff. Score 4-4, nobody's left the building to get to their cars, everybody's standing and roaring. You can feel it in your bones, you don't even realize that almost 2 hrs has passed already. All our moves have been painstakingly planned out, and then executed in lightning fast perfection. The opposing coach has 3 turns left, the rats 2. A good blitz opens a whole on the far side of the pitch for his one-turner Luke Atme to retake the lead, only he trips and stuns himself on the goalline! The crowd gasps--here's the chance the rats have been waiting for, to take the lead in the game for the first time! Down races half the team, surrounding the only nearby elf (a wardancer), not knocking him over but standing between him and the ball. Our newest addition, MI the GR, picks up the ball at the endzone and will hand it off to Rainbow next turn, who'll use his strong arm hail mary to heave the ball downfield to FTL, who's racing for all he's worth towards the endzone. All we have to do is see what the opposing coach will pull from up his sleeve...

What he pulls is a cinematic leap of his wardancer over the heads of the blocking rats, dodging away from their outstretched hands as they turned around just in time to see him blitzing MI at the goalline, who's so dumbfounded to see this mad elf that he just stands there to get splattered. The wardancer dusts off his hands from levelling poor MI, picks up the ball, and cooly scores the td as if it was just a walk in the park. Half the stadium took great delight in taunting the rat-fans, yelling loudly that the play was...

"UNBELIEVABLE!"

With only one turn left in the game all we could hope for was to get a quick snap, get FTL that one last step closer to the endzone to try to score. But alas, it wasn't to be, so Rainbow merely took a knee when the kick came soaring down to the ground. He shook his head at the result of the game, but no tears were to be found on his snout this time--instead, a deep respect for his opponent, and an equally deep desire to have a rematch someday in the future...”
