BB3 interphase

Fri, 10 May 2024 12:58:36 +0000

I am definitely not liking the BB3 interphase. It seems way clunky, and confusing. I can't even figure out how to fire a player. Can somebody help me out? Plus what are the troubles anyone else is running into and and how are you adapting?

New Season End(?!)

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 11:35:34 +0000

Morning folks,

I'm just wondering about when the preseason and then the new season will end?

I'm tempted to get back into BB, but am unlikely to be ready in time for the season start, I don't even own the new game yet 😅

Cheers in advance!

Will OCC3 be played using the competetive timer (2 min per turn plus the 7.30 time bank)?

Annoying glitch/bug

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 22:24:38 +0000

I had this happen in my match today.

I was moving my second or third player, when the game locked up for a few seconds.

When it came back, I was unable to do anything else with my players.

I could left click to select them, but if I right clicked to block or move it would just deselect them.

I paused and unpaused, and alt tabbed in and out of the game, but in the end all I could do was click end turn.

My opponent played his turn, and when it got back to my next turn it was working again.

Has anyone else had this, and is there a fix for it?

Is there any etiquette for this situation?

Not my opponents fault my game glitched, but he did get a lot of free hits and an extra foul in.

Should have had a 3 turn drive to try and equalise, instead this totally fucked the end of the first half for me.

Thinking about it now, I should have perhaps force quit the game.

I don't know how reliable reconnection is, or if the turn timer is paused though?

Pre match tactics: underdog and overdog rights

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:22:07 +0000

Couldn't find anything with regards to this aspect of BB tactics so here's my question:

Is there any rule about what team make adjustments first (i.e. buying/firing players and/or cheerleaders/coaching staff prior to a match) when necessity/opportunity to do so depends on what the other team do?

Particular example is my next match: I need to replace a wardancer and have 120k in bank.
I am underdog in this match, and if opponent's team (@Javelin Wolves of the Calla) stays like it is now I will have a wizard even if I buy a dancer.
However, if I buy a Dancer and later he fires a zombie I will have only 120k inducements and no money in the bank to get the wizard.

I have a memory that in times past when such condition occurred the topdog had to make its decision first and then the underdog, but cannot find anything in the forums now.

Thanks to all for any answer.

Missing Awards?

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 22:59:47 +0000

So its pretty simple, I had compiled a fair number of awards over my seasons play, especially those around punching, killing, maiming and stamping on opposing players of which I had more than my fair share... Yet they are all missing, makes me feel like I've been stripped of my hard earned work and that those who don't know me shall be unaware of my brutal record for fair play and excellent player removal in a most violent fashion..

Anyway way of getthing these back?

Old teams

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 12:48:38 +0000

I have a team I've played before, not played any matches or anything with it since but I've (I think) fired a player or two. Is that still okay to bring back if I want to re-join occ? I assume it falls under changes that could be made between matches when actively playing but I'd like to double check.

Orca Cola and BB3

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 02:21:05 +0000

whats the general plan for moving into BB3? will it be a few seasons before the league migrates or from day 1(ish).

Im assuming lessons were learnt from BB1>BB2 so we should have an educated idea already?

Round Robin Schedule Need Help re Adding New Team

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 03:18:45 +0000

You all are much more experienced in this than me. Running a small group with my friends, one of the guys needed to drop out and I was hoping to add another friend in to his spot.

Had this open for anyone to join and we had a dropout week 1. Not sure how to get it cleared so someone else can jump in.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more info.

Thank you!

What the bar looks like for adding a replacement team

Awards?

Sat, 27 Aug 2022 23:53:31 +0000

Is there any league awards list anywhere?
I tried to search but couldn't find any.

Also, if I am entitled to an award how do I get it in my signature?

I ask because I saw on someone else's signature an award for stepping in as a replacement, yet I stepped in as replacement in season 18 div 4a but I don't have any award.
How does that work exactly?
Do I have to know what awards are available and let some admin know that I am meeting the requirements?

Thanks.

Do you have to move?

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 20:12:34 +0000

So it occurred to me that while skipping turns in a manner to soft concede is obviously against the rules (and boring to boot) what if you have a defence set up that you don't want to move because your opponent hasn't done anything that will make you need to move? Can you just pass your turn in that situation without going against the rules or do you have to move something just because?

internal server error

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 09:45:38 +0000

For some reason i cant log into the game anymore. It gives me an interenal server error. reinstalled steam and the game, but it still happens. Any clue what it might be?

Double spp and winnings bug

Sat, 13 Nov 2021 19:55:21 +0000

What is the official OCC rule regarding the double spp bug? its been around for as long as the game so though there was a solution but the answer i get from my tier admins is that nothing can be done so you are just fucked if you are on the bad end of it and get double injuries on your players etc...

it happened after my game today resulting in my opponent getting 38 spp from a single game which just seem so wildly unfair to the rest of division.

Legal concessions and why they exist.

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 15:03:39 +0000

Dear ladys, gentlemen and others,

Like the title says this is about legal concessions, why they exist and my view on one of the rules stated in "The Orca Cola Championshiop Rulebook".

I hope it is ok for me to post this in the Quesion part of the Forum but i couldn't find a better place to put it.

Disclaimer: What I'm writing here is my oppinion and the beautifull thing about oppinions is that in most cases there is no right or wrong but rather just objective truthes. You are more then welcome to not share my oppinion or disagree with me on what i'll be writing. I hope i find the right tone to not upset/offen anyone.

Context for everyone that didn't notice what happened threw discord:

Yesterday I played my first match of The season 20 in T1A against Rama set and his Chaos Team. By turn 13/14 (not excectly sure which of the 2 anymore) 9/11 of my players had been cassed. There where no KO's so i was down to 2 players max period which both where loner skinks. At this point I legal conceded the match which i thought was within my "rights" (don't know a better word for it atm sorry) to at least denie another free 3spp for a chaoswarrior Touchdown to have some form of miniscule emotional victory. I did not give up the game nor did i even play for preservation of the Team. I went in with every last player i had untill there where close to none left to try to abide by the rules about giving up early/throwing a game.

After the game and some back and forth in the discord Pidpad (i think it was him if not my bad) pointed out to me that what i did was not ok/wrong/forbidden.

In "The Orca Cola Championshiop Rulebook" Part IV under C the following is stated:

Note: Please refer to Parts 1-A1, 1-B4 and 2-A1 to understand the intention of the following rules. Every match has two coaches that have set aside time to play, and every coach deserves to play their match to completion. Harsh penalties are enforced as a form of deterrence against uncompleted matches.

1. Legal concessions are exempt from this rule. A coach may legally concede by quitting the match when unable to field three players at the start of a drive.

So we got into it a little discussin over this rule because of the following. In my oppinion "when unable to field three players at the start of a drive" Is a conditioning sentence that has in no way or form anything to do with a point in time. It clearly sets a condition that is: " If you can't field 3 players" so if you only have 2 left the condition is met at any point in time. It was pointed out to me that my interpretation of this rule was wrong or that at least it is meant differently so that you can only concede a Match legaly when 1. you have 2 or less players and 2. It is the start of a drive.

Now let's take some examples to make it practical.

Let's say I'm ahead (doesnt matter by how much but for the sake of the argument let's say 1-0), It's the second half and my opponent is on offence. Unless he scores early and goes for the win the most likely outcome is a draw the way i see it since in most cases you won't be at the point of a possible legal concession by turn 8 or even early in the second half. So there is close to no case or rather no case the way i see it in which you would concede and give away a free win instead of taking the draw. So there is not realy an applicable way for the legal concession rule in this case.

This exact scenario happend to me last season again Naoufel70 and his nurgle. By Turn 12 i was down to a single skink. I could have legal conceded but i was up 1-0 and he decided that stalling 4 more turns was the way to go instead of going for the win against a single player.

Let's say it's a draw or or your opponent is ahead. Unless nuffle decided he wants you to quit bloodbowl getting to the range of a legal concede is mostly if not rather exclusivly something that happens in the second half. If this scenario happens and you think that your opponent has any idea how bloodbowl works it is safe to say in my oppinion that you will lose the game and there are no two ways about it unless your he decides to dunno passfarm or foul turn 16 or some other ludicrous actions that stop his score on turn 16. As example we can just take what i stated in the beginning of the Post about my last match.

Now i had some time to think about the whole ordeal and i honestly can't see the reasoning behind the rule the way it was explained to me.

In my oppinion Legal concessions are a way to escape a dicing and/or to punish people trying to do nothing but to remove the opponents Team so that they aren't gifted another 3 free TD spp on top of what copious amounts of spp they got for putting your Team threw the meatgrinder. It is meant to punish people for not paying attention or not minding the state of the game.

Now let's take this a step further and use the rule the way it was explained to me and apply it to my last game. If i now understand it correctly the right way to act would have been wait till your opponent scores (most likely late in the half) and after he got his touchdown which would seal the result i would be allowed to concede since now we are starting a new drive.

Picture this: It is turn 16, you have 2 (or less) players left and you are reciving the ball. You now have 3 Options. 1. Take your blocks if you have players left to throw blocks and then klick end Turn to end the game. 2. Just skip the Turn to end the game. 3. Take the legal concede to artificially wreck up the score board to give your opponent who just put your team threw the meatgrinder an advantage on the scoreboard increasing his chances on winning the division.

I don't know about you guys but i can't see a way where i would ever decide to go for Option 3 and i think/hope most people would agree with me on that.

So what are legal concessions for and when can you use them? The only way i see realy is by beeing pitchcleared so early in the second half that the opponent has enough time to score another TD. I think it's not to far fetched to say that a scenario where you are pitchcleared by turn lets say 12 or 13 with no KO's to speak of that can come back is rather rare.

So why am i writing all this and rambling on about the Topic?

These are the 3 Options I propose:

1. Change The rule for legal concedes to the standard rule that is implemented in Bloodbowl 2. You could talk about variations like "if fieldable people + KO's is < 3 you can concede at any point".

This would be an actual rulechange and not just a tweaking to make legal concessions viable/have a purpose.

2. Change the wording of the rule so people like me don't get confused. "A coach may legally concede by quitting the match when unable to field three players. He is only allowed to concede at the start of a drive" like this or some variation of what i proposed the phrasing is more on the point/unnegotiable and it might mitigate people from misinterpreting the rule.

3. If you are not willing to go with what i proposed under "1." why not get rid of legal concessions completly? There wouldn't be a chance for something like this to happen again and like i hopefully managed to point out the way the rule is implemented at the moment the chances are slim to none for a situatin to occur where it takes effect .

The way the rule is implemented at the moment in my oppinion promotes trying to reduce your opponents Team to nothingness. We already have a bash heavy meta in Bloodbowl 2. It doesn't matter if you look into CCL or the OCC you will find bashy 2k tv killteams at/around the top with, in alot of times, the sole purpose of killing your opponents team cause it seems to me like some people don't know how to win a game of Bloodbowl without beeing up some/alot of men. Blocking the possibility to legal concede at any point of the Match (as long as you meet the conditions) is another bonus given to already broken Kill teams which honestly are strong enough as is the way i see it.

I hope people don't take this the wrong way and if you decide to not change a thing i completly understand. I'm sorry for causing that much of a comotion since i guess i'm the first person to ever interpret the rule incorrectly and hope everyone reading this has a great day.

Best regards

Tie Breakers

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 22:15:39 +0000

I was looking at standings the other day and thought I had it figured out with Touchdowns then Casualties but after looking at Champ Tier I am assuming it is TD Difference and then Casualties?
