<center><b><font size=+1>Stop getting the ref</font></b><br></center></p><P align=justify>Blackbox is currently facing a major issue with the multiplication of the games : there is a shortage of referees. A massive recruitment campaign has been intiated but the volunteers are rare, people from the Old World prefer to take their weapons and die in pointless battles such as Minas Thirit. Why being so reluctant to the noble work of the refereed ?
Last game of Futur-amaz gave part of the answer. With two refs killed, the fans of Futur-amaz sure gave their team the victory but they put in danger the entire division. A great referee strike could be disastrous and the demands of the refs are unrealistic : pay raise of course but also life insurance, bodyguards and one chainsaw. If the Bloodbowl board decides to go this way, it would require half the winnings of each game to be invested in the referee's equipement.
Jervis XXX, member of the board who prefers to remain anonymate, concluded on these demands : "if we cannot find a settlement with those dum...workers, we will train monkeys to whistle at random times. It may be an improvement after all."</p></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=354 bgcolor=20a0ff><td colspan=2><center><font size=+2 face=times color=0020ff><b>Game 2 : NEW ENGLAND SHIELDBREAKERS II (LordNad)</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2> <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=2500992><img src=http://www.francebloodbowl.com/img/race/nain.gif align=left></a><font size=2 face=times color=black> <p><center><b><font size=+1>Victory 2-0</font></b><br>11/01/2009</center></p><P align=justify>Terrible draw for this second game : dwarves. Fortunately these are rookie dwarves with 5 positionals so not that many tackles. However the game looks bad and the first injury doesn't help. We manage to score and to surf 2 of the dwarves in 5 turns but noone is missing and it is 11 amazons facing 11 dwarves for the remaining 11 turns.
This is when Nuffle decides to give us a hand. Get the ref for the rest of the half and then another get the ref for the entire second half. After 2 casualties and one dead midget, the ball is secured by Ela and we control the game until the end to avoid more injuries. At the end we only have one girl missing next game with an agility drop, nothing to worry about.</p></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=354 bgcolor=00ffa0><td colspan=2><center><font size=20 color=008000><b>Game 1 : BLACKBOX SCANDALS</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2> <http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=2500743><img src=http://fumbbl.com/teams/252906.jpg align=left></a><font size=2 face=times color=black><p>
<center><b><font size=+1>0 Reroll teams</font></b><br></center></p><P align=justify>More and more teams are using the TS system in a controversial way by not buying rerolls. Risky strategy or abuse ? This is a point that should be discussed.
Does the lack of rerolls compensate the difference in skills ? I would say "no" for rookie teams. How a totally skilless team can compete with a team having essential skills like : dirty player, sure hands, serial block and even stats increase. Anyhow, the major problem in my point of view is the fact that those teams are mainly relying on luck, taking out the strategic part of BB which makes this game no better than ... coin toss.
While awaiting for a modified TS calculation, let's just hope for no more scheduling against that type of teams. It's not like the majority of the teams were built like this ... there are also massive DP teams out there ...</p></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=354 bgcolor=e0a0c0><td colspan=2><center><font size=+2 face=times color=red><b>Game 1 : ZOOM ON ...</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2> <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=6292025><img src=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL/Images/Player/94/94367.jpg align=left></a><font size=2 face=times color=black> <p><center><b><font size=+1>Lily Gneuverte</font></b><br><i>Linewoman #5</i></center></p><P align=justify>In a brutal game where surviving the gang fouls was the main objective, Lily did very well by staying on the field 16 turns. If scoring against a team that doesn't care about the ball was not that difficult, she did the fans a great gift by killing a chaos beastman on turn 16. She logically got the MVP and honoured the fans by learning how to kill any opponent lying on the ground.
FINISH'EM ALL LILY !!!</p></table><table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=black width=354 bgcolor=20a0ff><td colspan=2><center><font size=+2 face=times color=0020ff><b>Game 1 : RARELY IF EVER (Draxus)</b></font></td><tr><td colspan=2> <a href=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=2500743><img src=http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL/Images/Player/9/9271.jpg align=left></a><font size=2 face=times color=black> <p><center><b><font size=+1>Draw 1-1</font></b><br>11/01/2009</center></p><P align=justify>Is this game really worth a report ? A team abusing the 0 reroll TS calculations, fielding 14 players, 50+ SPP (7 skills) and Nobbla against a rookie amazon team. If this wasn't enough, the coach pay rarely if ever (i just understood the name of this team) attention to the ball.
Result is we score in first half on our defense. Second half is much less entertaining. We play with 7 girls and miss a TD once on a failed rerolled GFI and a second time on a failed dodge. After that, the gang fouls made their point and we finish the game with 3 players and a draw. At least we managed to kills 2 beastmen against 0 permanent injuries for us. Not that bad after all ... except this wasn't BloodBowl</p></table>
