  1. The Wardancer did not indeed die, and Juggernaut worked marvellously, pushing twice a stand firm Nurgle Warrior to put a catcher into scoring position at turn 16. Shame that dumbass Syd Barret failed the short pass!
  2. You will need to find another way, he has to die on a Wednesday!
  3. Hello there Hive Mind, long time no see. Last time I asked counsel it was for an agi6 Dark Elf Blitzer, and I can assure you that the combo leap and sure hands won me many a match in the Championship he played. I come to you again for a player who already plays with a target behing his back. And on his chest. And on any other open surface. The Wardancer 'Tiny Dancer' from by Songs from the Woods team reached level 5. He already has Strenght 4, frenzy and tackle. With a normal roll I'd have taken strip ball or sidestep, and yet he rolled a 5+5. What would you pick? +1 mov seems the most viable. MB is tempting and will help offset some field removal. I already have a MB+tackle wardancer but he has armour 6, won't last long. Jaggernaut seems a good combo with frenzy and will help on 1TTD attempt, but otherwise I see limited use. I admit I've often been wrong on this skill. So, Oh Great and Powerfull Hive Mind, what shall we select for The Wardancer Who Will Die This Wednesday?
  4. Read to the music of Don McLean "American Pie". American Leap. A long, long time ago I can still remember how this game Used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those elfs wardance And maybe I'd be winning for a while But league play made me shiver With every single roll I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more sidestep I can't remember if I cried When I leapt while the match was tied Something touched me deep inside The day the Wardancer died So, bye-bye, Miss Elf who fell from the sky I left my star on the pitch, like a dead butterfly And them good ol' boots were stomping her in the eye Singin', "This'll be the leap that I die This'll be the leap that I die"
  5. Congratulations Vampire Lord! Great achievement after years of excellence.
  6. Welcome to the Season Finale of OrcaCola Survivor! I am your favourite disincarnated voice, and before revealing the nominal winner let’s see who really captured the love of the audience, which is worth so much more than a trophy and One Million cyan! Who has had the best trasformative experience? Whose Heroic Journey has enthralled the audience? Time-Fu Panda is timeless and incapable of change. He is as he has always been and always will be. It is good to have a t=0 point to use as reference, but endearing he is not. Detlef Probst actually regressed to Dotmak Prost in the last episode and was never really considered a competitor, so there is little love for the handsome, tall extremely fit dwarf. Wonder why! Freight Train and Eyegore Phelps may have suffered a little discomfort after their joint elimination, but they also concluded the competition as they started it. Little love for them. Stomp’s Eat-Play-Poop mentality has gained him many supporters between those enjoying a slacker lifestyle, but we doubt that this has gained him the support of the general population. Lotho and The Amazing Daryl have had very transformative journeys from stunty bloodbowl players to Troll’s Waste Matter. A negative character arc this may be, but a character arc nevertheless! Shame for them that they share the same story and the same waste pile, that will split the love of the audience. And then we have Carl’s Journey. He arrived to the island as a Confused Peasant, one of many, with no purpose. Simple cannon fodder to fend-off the opposition. He was unwillingly called to the challenge against the Forces of Darkness in the guise of the Legendary Vampire Freight Train, he stepped up, he failed and was consumed, but though Darkness he rose again changed. Per Aspera ad Astra. As Dale Kick-it he has a specific role and a clear purpose, to foul Legends anytime they lie on the pitch! Isn’t that a transformation that anyone in the audience can identify with? But the votes are coming in, the tension is palpable… Who is the winner? Dale is the Winner! Dale is the Winner! Dale is the Winner! His (its?) Survivor's Journey has captivated the hearts and minds of viewers, not to mention four voters, o he is your Survivor! Well, Sort of. So next time you meet Dale on the pitch please have some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned politeness or he'll lay your soul to waste. With a well placed turn 16 foul kick!
  7. Make it RES, fill it with Norses and call it the Valhalla Brawl :D!
  8. The Season of the Beastman! Only full goat teams allowed, a full Darwinian contest where the best to evolve will be on the top of the foodchain
  9. But you can never leave! Especially after you take the Red
  10. Welcome Jade! Stay a while. Stay forever !
  11. I'd politely point out that 24/200 coaches is not what I would classify as a lot. I've spent a few years on other islands. I thanked them for having me, but I am pretty sure I am allowed to say they were not for me.
  12. It certainly would take a lot of coding effort, and I agree it would prove useful to very few coaches. If there are people kind enough to donate to the OCC their coding hours I would invest them elsewhere, like in leaderboards. Nothing broke my work productivity like the previous ones :)
  13. I cannot vote anymore as I saw the results a few days ago, just dropping my opinion here: I am playing in OCC because it feels as a safe place, where (almost) all people are nice. Other leagues I have experienced are not like this. I would not like the two groups to mixup.
  14. This is Detlef Probst with another astounding edition of Survivor: Orca Cola! Last week we followed the Slibli tribe, and the viewers decided that they had enough of the poor and Confused Carl and wanted to see more of the Legendary Vampire Freight Train. Some evil-speakers said that the voting was influenced by Freight Train mesmerizing abilities, but after looking him into his beautiful, deep eyes I can confirm that this is vile slander! But now, back to the Quetzal tribe! Two weeks ago we witnessed most members of the tribe succumb to bloody carnage, and only the soulless husk of veteran Blood Bowl player Eyegore Phelps stood in the end. He may not be a superstar but what he did what veterans do really well: survive! Since the carnage the fleshy survivor stood motionless in the middle of the camp, while the remains of its former tribe member were devoured by the wildlife. A good long term strategy perhaps, but exciting CabalVision it does make not. This is why the production had decided to infuse the tribe with new blood, and to find it we went right to the top of the food chain. I am honored to present to you the best of the best that the OCC Championship can offer, Legends and Superstars of special genius and singular predisposition, each of them contributing to the triumphs of their teams with their rare and irreplaceable talents. Let’s give a look to them! How will they amaze us? Son Goku the Nurgle Warrior Legend and former Champion. Holofernes the Werewolf, Season 19’s MVP and current OCC Champion. Up-and-comers James Jenks and Sean Maguire, young and hungry for victories. Listen to them joyfully singing along while approaching the new golem teammate: "Lets' celebrate how we are All Unique Individuals!" Eager to see them in action? Very good, we have an immediate special challenge, at the blow of a whistle, like this, the contenders will… No, wait, wait, it was a test! Oh my. Oh my! Look at the nice butterfly! OH MY! At the blow of the whistle the four unique individuals blitzed each other, not out of malice but for simple muscle memory. Two were killed immediately. One was just knocked out, but the fourth piled on him and killed him as well. Force of habit and regrettable mistake. That is when Eyegore Phelps saw the pretty butterfly, decided to move toward it and accidentally crashed the skull of of the fourth players with his armored boot. Who was it, you ask? How should I know, they are all basically the same player! Sorry, was the microphone open? I meant he will be irreplaceable! Ooooooh well! Looks like everyone did what they know best. Killers killed, Eyegore Phelps survived. Again. He also ate the butterfly.

  16. Congratulation @Gimlik! Losing a legendary wolf a few seasons ago did not stop you. Losing a Championship because one of MY witches rolled a double 1 against the Wall of Orks did not stop you. Talk about mental resilience!
  17. My name is David Sheldonborough, I am a Theoretic Naturist and tonight in Blood Bowl Planet I’ll share with you the results of my extensive studies on the psyche of a Dark Elf. Not that I think you can understand it, but I am contractually obliged to this appearance. What pushes individuals of this secretive and highly individualistic society, if such a word even apply, to band together and venture out of their Dark Domains to play ball? Ego, as for their posh cousins? Adrenaline as for their tree-loving counterparts? Or just money, as it is for the Poor Elves? The answer to this question has eluded Applied Naturalists for hundreds of years, as the keen senses and secretive nature of the Dark Elves have always been able to turn would be investigators into a shuddering mass wishing to be dead. While this has proven to be a favour to society it failed to give un ay insight. To crack the mystery we’ll apply the Scientific Method: we will observe, we will make an hypothesis based on our observations and we will try to confirm it with an experiment. Observation. Observing Dark Elves in nature we can witness a cluster of moderately armoured males, Blitzers and Linemen, using their bodies to create separation between the opposite team and the one of two Witches present on the field. Their apparently erratic movement follows in reality repeating geometric patterns that I was the absolute first to define ‘elfscreens’ and ‘cages’, using their body to protect the Queen(s). As with bees it appears that some Higher Consciousness directs the actions of these players, pushing them to put their bodies in harm’s way for a common, Shared Purpose. Hypothesys. This simple observation goes against everything we think we know about Dark Elf Society! The image of individualistic, sadistic and betrayal-prone society is just a facade put forward to influence diplomatic relationships, to appear weak and divided instead than strong and cohesive, and it is certainly a machination of the Higher Consciousness that drives the players on the field. This is the only rational explanation. The only alternative would be that the Dark Elves teams are just a bunch of testosterone fueled alpha males trying to impress the Witches, but that as unrealistic as a sympathetic Chaos Dwarves Team or a useful humanist. And yet the Scientific method demands we prove this brilliant hypothesis. I should be dispensed from this. Experiment. During the years I have sent hundreds of interns in infiltration missions in Dark Elves society. Most have probably died horribly, but they cost nothing and are easily replaceable. For this Special Episode of Blood Bowl Planet the surviving one or two will resurface to prove my Grand Theory. They should appear in our Cabalvision connection any moment now. Here they are! There’s so many! They all have Witches tattoos, they really went native. I commend their unpaid dedication. What are they chanting? Why the pitches and torches!?
  18. I think this was covered in 'Love the Box'
  19. Back in 2012 I tried to create an Italian BB1 league, but administering it was like herding cats. I moved to play in UK league Blood&Snots and all the best coaches I met told me 'I mainly play in the OCC'. Finally @Ramtut_III convinced me to come and play here, as almost 20 years before he initiated me to D&D and CoC ! I've played on and off since then, as I tend to burnout and leave for some seasons, but the itch always returns.
  20. Congratulations @RTSD, good to see years at the top finally paying off!
  21. Congratulations Andy, hell of an achievement!
