iippo: -Commencing the Sucking-

super-high-quality Leeches vs Sneezers match about to begin!

Piranjade: ...and as always with Pogo's games, I'm not able to watch but get "Error: failed to establish connection". :-(
I wonder if it is due to all the foul appearance she brings to the field.

Zeta: Maybe today's issue might be caused by one of iipp0's vamps getting a pre-game snack and feasting on the cameraman? ;)

Pogopuschel: From my point of view, you haven't missed anything by not watching our game ^^° I lost 0-1, and while i think most of it was bad luck, I also think that I haven't played very good either. But at least the match had a few, wtf-what-are-the-vampires-doing-moments :P

iippo: Actually i think there was bug with the tentacles - i tried to dodge from the beast but got hold, at the same time i had failed bloodlust. This -should- mean that the vamp must bite the thrall next to him (there was one) OR run off the pitch. The vamp did not bite the thrall, i lost my turn to turnover and then the beast promptly pummeled the vamp for -1mv's worth :(

WBGhiro: Theoretically speaking it would be correct that the vampire didn't run off since he was being held in place, but I don't really want to credit Cyanide with foresseing such fine details either, so yeah pretty weird bug.

iippo: 2vamps against E_A yay. and -1MV vamp to boot.. Well i wanted challenge + the ultimate experience...and sure got some.

Psyringe: PRIZE POOL UPDATE

As you already know when you've read the sign-up thread, we'll have a prize pool for this season of the GOG Blood Bowl League. Iippo has asked me to manage it, and I'll do my best. :)

Here are the rules for the prize pool (updated slightly to account for the two divisions and higher number of players, all this can be changed if desired of course):

1. Everyone can donate prizes. Everything can be a prize. Currently all of the prizes are games, but if you would like to offer a book, a music bundle, or a fun activity like "I'll write a poem about the players in your team", feel free. :)

2. Prizes will be distributed after the end of the play-offs. Each player can pick one prize from the pool as long as there are prizes left. The cup winner gets the first pick, the runner-up the second, and so on.

3. For players that dropped out in the same round of the play-offs, the order will be determined by comparing their last play-off match - first by TD difference, then by TDs scored, then by SPPs earned, then by random draw. For players that achieved the same rank in their respective divisions without getting to the playoffs, the order will be determined by comparing their entire league performance in the same way, but league points are compared first.

4. If there are less prizes than players, then half of the prizes (rounded down) will be distributed acording to the rules above. The picking sequence for the remaining prizes will be determined by random draw between all other active players. This way, everyone has an incentive to play through the end - even if your team performs badly, you _will_ get a chance to pick a prize. :)
