“We didn't have high hopes for this one, facing off with a team full of dodge and blodge with nary a tackler (the Rats do have one but we figured we'd better have them play the Chaos before the vinyl lizards start gaining killer skills....) seemed like a sure recipe for frustration; we envisaged the ladies slipping by us as easily as profanities slip from the Commish's lips.

Well, we need not have worried. I'd hoped that having block on three mummies would help somewhat on the non-Blodgers but don't recall seeing that many SKULL/POWs. What we did see was POWs blossoming all over the place like a beautiful field of flowers, dripping with amazon blood. Combined with Shaq's uneven to poor luck (classic example: he performed a series of complicated dodges in order to sack my ball carrier only to go down on a failed GFI the next turn...)

I was becoming a bit concerned that Shaq was slowing me down too much to score in the first half but with a steady flow of ladies into the CAS boxes we were eventually able to get ahead and force desperate plays, allowing rookie Thro-Ra Usermaatre to score (and gain his first skill). The second half saw only six Chicks able to take the field against us which allowed us to gain control of the ball and march it downfield, hand-off to a blitz-ra and score a second time.”
