Is Legion still active? Maybe someone should check in with him?

I sent him a PM. If he no longer wishes to continue playing, I'm willing to sub in Blacksheep's team for *Legion*'s team, if no one objects to that.

D'Kow War Rats vs Necrophobia

So the Rats entered the area with the Undead, in what will become know as the Battle of a Farmer's Field. The Undead drove down the field on the opening drive, and the rats, ever useless in defence, failed to stop them in part due to some inexperienced coaching. 1-0 down, the rats set off to do what they do best, score.
Unfortually faced with a wall of pain, they turned to a tactic that worked last time out, running towards their own end zone to attack a broken field, with a runner open, the undead were wise to their unconventional tactics easily stuffed it, forced a turn over and went 2-0 up. From the kickoff, the rats broke down field, with the line begging, they lost the ball, then failed to pick it back up, instead deciding to fall over at the feet of the undead.

However it wasn't the scoring isn't what will be remembered, it was the bloody violence. Rats were falling left right and centre, by the time they lined up to recieve the second half kick off, they were already lacking signifcant numbers and by the time that the undead had scored their 3rd TD, the rats had just 5 fit players to take the field and two of those had come back off the bench, like warriors fighting a lost cause, to give protection to their gutter running brothers.

As the game ended and the 3 rats left standing walked off the field, the toll seemed high but there was just one death, a lineman, although his brothers would remember him, they realise they can fight on. One will have to sit out the next game but the runners were protected. Also the need to fight on was alive and well, they did not go down without drawing blood, they managed to give a zombie groin problems while sending a ghoul back to his grave.

Lessons were learned, the rats will be back.

Seriously though, good game and thanks for staying up so late Cayne.

Tickle league 2 has been advanced to the next day. Tie was assigned for the game between Prozac's Ex-Wives vs Bye Weeks.

LOLth Cats vs THE BOINGERS
Bye Weeks vs The Clan of Urist
BYE WEEK Blodge FTW

Legion, when will you be around?

If anyone seems me online, I have two teams already up that Prozac has simply smashed into the ground twice. Not sure if that's the grouping I'm in, but hey, I'm game for whatever.

Oops posted from wrong account, sorry Csteel!

Gregrampage - I sent you a PM. My week is weird, so we should get something on the calendar soon.

Got all my management stuff rolled over, so you can validate the bye week for me.

LOLth Cats over THE BOINGERS 2-0.

I'm lousy at recaps, but basically I caged the first half, got lucky with the numbers game and entered the second half up with score and players number. Then gregrampage learned a painful lesson about why sidelines are terrifying and I scored again.

In my defense, if I pulled off that one dodge I would've scored and the sideline risk would've been worth it. I couldn't dodge to save my life in the 2nd half though.

I'm around evenings. 7-9 pm CST is best, but flexible beyond that.

Sorry for being somewhat invisible the past few days - I've been dealing with some stomach issues that I think are finally starting to relax.

Also, I really can't wait for when Steam's new iOS client gets push notifications for messages (apparently coming in one of the next builds). I'm usually not logged on to Windows except when I'm about to play a game. Maybe until then I should install Steam in WINE just for messaging.

is 7-9 CST your Firday good for you? That'll be mid morning Saturday for me. My wife's due to give birth Monday, but if I can't play because of that you'll all know

Sure, that will be fine.

Is anyone else having issues with Steam? I've been trying to connect for a half hour, It keeps telling me it can't connect to the server.

I've been having that problem every day lately. I have to try a handful of times before I can get in.

I'm on Steam. It's been dutifully downloading updates to all the games patched since my last login...

And now I've been booted off and can't get back on.

"No network connection can be made to the Steam servers."

Yep, down for me too.

Yeah, that's what I've been getting. I'll try periodically and if Steam comes back up at a reasonable time for you Legion, I'll be available for our game.

Legion, Steam's up. If you see this I'm around to play.

tboon and I ground our way to a thrilling 1-1 draw, both teams scoring on the last turn of the halves that they received the ball in. My score came about with a fair bit of luck, for it required the beast of nurgle to not be stupid three consecutive times. In the unlikely event that she passed the roll that would enable her to do so, the beast's mother would be proud.

Roughing United doled out a high number of knock outs, but in the end the only injury news to report was that Prozac's Ex-Wives added another rotter to the "harem of hate": Lawrence Taylor. When asked for a reaction, a post-mortem Lawrence stated, "Gurgle gurgle." The interview ended when Lawrence began taste testing his own feces, which is apparently not behavior that was typical when he was alive.

*cough*

Legion, I'm available (pending birth of my son) from 2am EST until about 8am EST or from 3 to 4pm EST weekdays, otherwise it's the weekend.

Weekend will probably be best - work will prevent me from hitting those weekday times.

I am completely free and clear all day Sunday. I can make whatever time you need.

Indeed. I was hoping to get my match in with Knightsabre last night, but of course I had no internet connection. It's been going on and off all day today, and I have a call in to get it looked at. Ugh. In the interest of keeping things moving, I took the loss for my match, and advanced the day.

Tickle league 1
[size=24]Day 4[/size]
Necrophobia vs Kickbadguy
D'Kow War Rats vs The Hammer is my penes
Rascists, only lizards vs Orc 'n' Pie Boar Boyz
BYE WEEK Pride of Odin

As far as Tickle league 2, if you guys really think you can get the match in this weekend, I'll delay it until then, but if anything comes up (like, say, I don't know, a new life coming into the world or something else unimportant like that), let me know so I can get it advanced as well. Good luck Prozac!

Your Sunday is My Monday

However 3pm EST is 5am for me so I can game before work. Of course if she hurries up and has the kid I'll take some leave from work and be able to play whenever, you only need your mouse hand for Blood Bowl so I can hold the kid and game

justinbot, you are programmed to defeat me. Just let me know when.

I'm free Thursday and Friday night anytime from 8-11PM EST start time to get the game in. If neither of those work for you, I need to look and see what my schedule will be like next week.

Let's do Friday at 8. Shoot me a msg on steam when you're ready.
