Existentialism: A concern with man's place in reality; anguish is universal; morality is subjective. Existentialist philosophy is an explicit conceptual manifestation of the existential attitude--a spirit of `the present age.' It is a philosophical realization of self-conscious living in a `broken world' (Marcel), an `ambiguous world' (de Beauvoir), a `dislocated world' (Merleau-Ponty)..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This team has been made specifically for the Wraith Bone Elf Ball league, so it is unavailialbe for casual games.

Both teams suffered a death apiece. On a sad note, Ernest Hemingway gave the answer to the question, "For Whom the Bell Tolled?" It was F. Scott Fitzgerald. May he rest in pieces. Ernest Hemingway earns The Heeley Award for his Week 1 performance! Ernest had 36 rushing yards against the Maulers during Week 1. Week 2 vs Raven-Dark Warriors: The team wins easily, 3-0, but the real damage doesn't occur until after the match! William tried not to show it but the Tree scared the crap out of him! He held it together during the game, but he lost in in the locker room after the game. He slipped on a bar of soap in the shower room and had to be taken to the emergency room. Dr. Hackensaw reported that Ernest has damaged his back; specfically disks L4, L5, and S1. He could have career-ending surgery or he he could play on with this niggling injury. The choice is his to make. Ernest Hemingway gave the answer to the question, "For Whom the Bell Tolled?" It tolled for me! Damn it! Ernest Hemingway was the runner-up for The Heeley Award for his Week 2 performance! Ernest had 26 rushing yards against the Warriors during Week 2. Ernest is starting to make a name for himself as one of the premier players in the league. Week 3 vs Nightmall: John Steinbeck's post game summary - We had a feeling Nuffle was going to bite us today. We were just too powerful. We had the best player on the pitch. We had a higher turn out of fans (FF) at the game. We had more trick plays (RRs). Everything was in our favor. We just knew before the game that we would lose. BB is very easy to predict. You know you can't bet on it in Lost Wages, Kneevada. Watch the replay. We can'y make the ball pick up to perserve the tie, but our opponent can make the pick up in a tackle zone and then make the dodge and GFI for the win. Yup! BB is just too predictable. I keep telling the BBRC that they will never battle for game supremacy against WoW until they fix this shit. The dice are too powerful. There is just no skill in BB. Today proved it. Coach gave us the next week off. Why practice if there is no skill involved during the game? He said to go fishing or play some golf. At least there, you may get lucky every once and a while. The odds are definitely better than on the BB pitch! Ernest Hemingway was the runner-up for The Heeley Award for his Week 3 performance! Ernest had 30 rushing yards against the Nightmall during Week 3. Ernest is starting to make a claim as the MVP in the league. Week 4 vs Death Blood: The first BBRC Special for both coaches! Within the first four turns, Existentialism has two players killed, James Dickey and Langston Hughes, and the apoth fails to "Deliver" James Dickey from the grave when his spell fails. The score at half was 0-0. During the second half, Death Blood had the game easily in hand for it was a classic body game in their favor. DB easily scores to go up 1-0, but they allows 3 turns left for Existenialism to attempt to tie the score. In true BB fashion, that only the BBRC could love, Existentialism scores on T8 to make the final score 1-1. FUGLY is the only word to describe this game. Ernest Hemingway was the runner-up for The Heeley Award for his Week 4 performance! Ernest had 31 rushing yards against Death Blood during Week 4. This is getting ridiculous! The league might want to re-name this award! Week 5 vs Sealord Survivors: Existentialism not only survived but actually won the game, 2-1. They started the game with a 3 player disadvantage. The Survivors were stacked with experience and loaded with talent: 2 block, 2 gaurd, and mainly all wearing extra armor (AV8). The Survivors really hit hard and often. They threw 38 blocks and left many Existentialism players prone, but they took only 3 off the pitch with 2 ko's and 1 BH. Existentialism fought bravely; they threw 28 blocks causing 4 BH, 1 SI, and 2 KO's. Ernest Hemingway had 34 yards rushing and scored both TDs in the victory. Week 6 vs Athletico Athel Larmarna: The match was just too good for the BBRC. These two teams had a 1-1 ballgame going right up into T6 of the second half. You could almost touch the excitement in the air. At this point, it was a classic "body game" against his elves, but Lungbasher still held onto two challanges (re-rolls). The fans held their breath every time a block or dodge was attempted. Of course, the BBRC could not have this! Jervis was at his wit's end. During the middle of T6 of the second half, Ernest Henmingway had just picked up the football and was about to dodge away for the potential game-winning score. Jervis immediately stopped the match, grabbed his 100,000 page rulebook, and walked slowly to the middle of the field. Jervis presented the rule violation to Ernest and demanded retribution from the rule-breaker. Ernest, with contempt on his face, slowly dropped his pants. Jervis inflicted a severe arse pounding on Ernest. Ernest, bleeding from the rectum, could not proceed and had to be assisted to the locker room (double ones on the dodge). As per Jervis's rulebook, the ball was placed on the ground to end the turn. Team Athletico got an easy score and the win, 2-1. Once again, the fans are robbed of a great game. Søren Kierkegaard joined the team to continue the fight against this injustice! Week 7: This had all the makings of a BBRC Special right from the beginning. Coach Smeat had been AWOL for three weeks, so his team was booted from the league. Hobo's Blackwood Wiazards stepped in to fill the void. For the past three weeks, Existentialism had done nothing except sit around and drink ale. Existentism was very apathetic about playing the last game of the regular season. Their only form of physical training was "getting their end in" one of the many fine strippers, oops! I mean wenches from Rosie Rumpe's Royal Dumpe. On the day of the game, only eight Existentialism players showed up to engage the Wizards. The game was a tale of opposites: Existentialism did not want to get anyone injured for the play-offs that begin next week. The Wizards were inspired to be playing in an organized league (drunks, crack addicts, and hookers just don't offer much in competition), in front of a live audience (stray animals just don't know when to cheer), with new uniforms (there is more to it than just a jockstrap?), and a living referee (a far cry from the cardboard cut-out). They were even going to get paid after the game. OMG! Some were actaully going to get laid, because their wives were excited at using the paycheck to go shopping! Ernest was so rusty that he actaully niggled out of the game; the apothecary was used to get him ready to play. If that wasn't bad enough, the entire BBRC oganization showed up to the game. Their fat arse were so large, they had trouble sitting in those small seats. To gain more elbow room, Jervis immediately orders the paying fans removed from the stadium -- of course, he did not order a refund! Ernest knew the fix was set when each member of the BBRC opened a brand, spanking (AND I MEAN SPANKING!) new jar of KY Jelly. Ernest avoided looking into the stands after seeing the BBRC removing their pants. Late in the first half, Ernest slipped on something that will remain nameless and re-injured his already damaged back. From that moment on, a game that was bad just turned to shit. This brought the BBRC into a mad frenzy. The noise was deafening. With every one and skull, the BBRC spanked, jerked, and pumped with reckless abandon. The BBRC made the Roman Orgies look like child's play. The final score was a 4-1 loss for Existenialism. The only highlight was that no one was seriously injured or killed. 4-7-07: OMG! I AM F*CKING CURSED! A BBRC special right from the beginning. Skulls falling like rain! I wasted two re-rolls within the first three turns on one die blocks: Skull; re-roll; skull! Skull; re-roll; skull! Opponent gets an easy score. Everyone knew what was coming next: a blitz! WTF?! Needless to say, I press out and, thankfully, the season is over! Blood Bowl is a game created on luck instead of skill. I need to get back to chess when the blame can be put on my shoulders when I lose! I have one game to play in the UI tournament, and then I am asking for my account to be blocked for a month.
