[20phoenix]

The dust has settled on season 11, some coaches have run with their tail between their legs, some with their heads held high and some deposited in the morgue. A wave of fresh blood from BBT has joined the league.

Our contenders this season:

LFC North:

Ken - Chaos Pact
Danton - Skaven
Travelscrabble - Wood Elves
Everblue - Chaos Dwarfs (boooooooo!)

LFC West:

Barmution - Nurgle
Ging - Slann

LFC East:

Dreamy - Wood Elves
20Phoenix - Amazon

LFC South:

ScottishDunc - Chaos

Unknown Divisions:

Orabbi - Chaos Dwarf
Remthar - Dark Elf
Mardaed - High Elf
Elessar9 - Underworld
Viajero - Wood Elves
Squall - Furry walking corpses

Good luck to all involved!

Thanks 20, you're missing Elessar9 though he's in Nordland this season.

 

[Ken]

LFC North belong to BBT it would seem, looking forward to seeing you all out there. Have fun guys

 

[TravelScrabble]

I'm just sad I don't get to play Barmution so I can terrorize him with my ludicrous 2d6 combined with the imba power of woodies!

(Although I'm also quite relieved as I hate playing nurgle)

Had just head here to fix that myself after I was looking through the BC divisions post

 

[Viajero]

Also forgot one more coach in the list! One that beat a former OFL champion and even got into playoffs with the best W-D-L record this past season!

i'm pretty sure netsmurf had to take a pass this season

Lol, no, Netsmurf only got a meager 11-3-2 for 12.5 points. As respectable as that was someone else here did slightly better...

 

[Ken]

next time i'll add the smiley

 

[Viajero]

Smileys rule!

 

[20phoenix]

No idea who you're talking about sorry.......

 

[Viajero]

Darn it!

You play slanns in that league???

How do you do that? Direct IP? FUMBBL?

Direct IP. All of the league management is handled by a third party system. It also means all of the star players are available to use.

What do you mean by third party system?

I'm playing in a direct IP league and the admin does everything manually so if you have an easier way of doing that I'm interested!

EDIT: how do you manage niggling injuries? For the moment we haven't figured that out so we just bring it down to MNG.

Have a look at Old World Football League

The match replay is loaded to a server side system there. Everything in terms of team management is then handled by that system. Probably around 95% of that is automated and the commissioner only has to manually adjust a couple of things like free zombies for example.

Before playing a match you download your updated team roster from their server, complete with any star players you hired. It adds a lot of flexibility to what Cyanide offers with only a little inconvenience.

 

[Ken]

the team files are custom built by the OFL server, same way cyanide does it in game, but the manager over at OFL takes all the replay files, then reconstructs the "end of game" version of your team, and you download a new copy of your updated roster afterwards

 

[Barristan]

Really will have to try that at some point - the possibilities sound exciting.

Well my rookie frogs have the daunting proposition of playing Barm's solid-looking Nurgle... twice.
Hopefully he won't squish us too badly.

Not only Slann, but also Chaos Pact and the whole Star Player Roster! Yes! See for example...

Hack Enslash!

And here the Pact race (we are now using a Rat Ogre model as the Ogre instead, so to be able to see the mutation animations, but the stats are those of the Ogre):

Here a pic for the "Circus" race, which is Slann. Even though the theme is different (due to lack of actual Slann models in game) the stats are precisely those of Slann.

Thul (the admin) has also had a go at creating the Bretonian team although it is not yet usable in the league). Using Thralls as linemen, Pitfighters as Yeomen and Human Blitzers as Blitzers.
