rcthedigitalhero: EDIT: Question Admins. Since this league is sorta getting rebooted, is there a chance we could get a new forum page? I mean it's cool that we have (as of my post) 259 pages, but I'd like to have a fresh thread for a fresh league. Maybe I'm alone there, idk.
I second this.

Personally I'd prefer to keep the current thread - it's easier to look things up (such as past decisions or events) if it's all in one place. I think we should probably change the thread title though. ;)

Is there a practical advantage to starting a new thread?

Necross: Well if it makes you feel any better I'm a noob too and I joined. The thing you have to learn is how unit stats work, after that it's not too hard. You can use tool tips to learn what skills do and the courser will tell you what you need to roll to do an action successfully. (3+ means you must roll a 4 or higher on a d6, 1s always fail while 6s always work)
owkaayy, just played a season thinking 3+ was anything from 3 on and above....;)
I'm training to roll 6s all the way now!

Yay!
For those wondering, that's 8 p.m. CEST.
I've created my team: Deamon's Stump Hatters (Chaos Dwarf). I wanted a The in the name, but it ended up being too long.
Funny little facts about GOG BB League
(hopefully mostly correct)

During the past 5 seasons we have had:

38 different coaches from 16 different countries:

1 Belgium 3
2 Brazil 1
3 Croatia 1
4 Czech Republic 2
5 Finland 3
6 France 1
7 Germany 13
8 Italy 1
9 Malaysia 1
10 Netherlands 1
11 Poland 1
12 Romania 1
13 South Africa 1
14 Spain 1
15 UK 1
16 USA 6

----------

110 teams have participated in 5 seasons (dropouts not counting, add +-10 more).

----------

There have been 72 matchdays, including all the playoffs.

----------

Finals or 5th season are the 670th match of the league (match resets and autowins not counting).

----------
Some races are more popular than others (teams at the end of season):

Amazon 5
Chaos 16
Chaos Dwarf 5
Dark Elves 11
Dwarf 4
Elf 2
Goblins 6
Halfling 2
High Elves 5
Human 6
Khemri 3
Khorne Demons 5
Lizardmen 3
Necromantic 4
Norse 2
Nurgle 7
Ogre 3
Orc 15
Skaven 6
Undead 6
Underworld 3
Vampire 4
Wood Elves 7

----------

Dwarfs have won the league twice (different coaches), lizards and amazons once.

Dark Elves (E_A!) has been runner up twice, skaven and humans both once.

Fifth season is yet unresolved but is between arno's dark elves and jolly's orcs (elves in disguise)

No team or coach is yet clearly dominating the league...but those dark elf coaches are sure doing their best :)

----------

5 coaches have played through all the five seasons non-stop.

Cheers ;)

Well, less stuff to look through? Hard for me to say it's practical to you when you say that's the advantage haha. I never said deleting it, it's more of a... new chapter kinda thread. Close this one but keep it around in case you need to see something, but have a new one so that there isn't so much information for those that don't need it/don't care.

I've had a long day, and idk if that made sense. I'm gonna lay down now :P

I don't care either way, this thread is good, a new thread will be good as well. So it would be nice to have some more opinions from other players about this.
And if we're going to have a new thread, what should we call it?

Nice overview. Funny to see how popular chaos is but never reaching the finals :P, and dwarfs do unexpectedly good.

A little surprised by the low popularity of the Norse, only 2 teams were around even though they are really good :).

I think it might even have been one and the same team (iippo?).
Just as Underworld was only one team that was played for three seasons.

Thanks for putting this together - as a statistics nut, I enjoy such posts greatly! :)

Well, there will always be a lot of old information around, even if we start a new thread. Basically, the important information will always be in the first post, and on the last three or or four pages of the ongoing thread. It doesn't really make a difference to me whether there are 5, 50, or 500 pages in between.

I think it's probably just a "feelgood" thing. For you it'd probably just feel better to have a "fresh start", for me it'd feel better to "keep everything in one place". It's not a big deal either way I think (at least it isn't for me).
