I have seen things; heard things. Our Lords have doubts and their divinity is under question. I know I should not write these words. I know I should keep these findings to myself, but am I not a scribe? Is it not what I was born to be? Even if these words stay private, I must record them.
After the last match, Loose Lobes told me in no uncertain terms to be brief in the match report. I was told not to discuss anything about luck or fate. At the time I was confused because surely the Lords had been victims of woeful fate. However, later I heard small parts of a deep discussion between Lost a Nail and Broken Down Hipjoint. They were questioning their eliteness. They were even questioning whether they still had the favour of the gods.
I soon found this to be common belief amongt the Lords. Skull Ducker was even more forthright when he stated that the god Nuffle had abandoned the lords. Why? He did not know.
These words and thoughts disturb me. Are our Lords truly unblessed?
Game Day - Season 01, Game 08 - Lords of Dusty Past v Exotic Bltz Package (Human)
Humans came to the stadium for matchday 8. They were warmly greeted by the Lords. The humans graciously acknowledged the superiority of the Lords, and stated they accepted they would lose no matter what the scoreboard said.
The humans used rerolls and a risky dodge on their first three turns with some
(incredible luck) nice play to open the scoring. The Lords restarted by forming a solid cage. The cage was broken and an injury occurred to Lord
Spinal Krap. Yes, the Lords had not even gained a stun, but the humans had inflicted a casualty. A failed hand off by Lord
Knotted Knuckles, even with a reroll, left the Lords in a tough position.
(Extremely lucky humans!) Well played humans!
The Lords then cleared the space around the ball allowing the chance for the cage to reform, but his agile Lord
Thrown a Joint Out was unable to pick the ball up despite using a reroll.
History repeated itself moments later. The humans again got onto the ball. The Lords again cleared space and Lord
Thrown a Joint Out again failed the pick up with a reroll. The ball scattered into the hands of the guardian Lord
Broken Down Hipjoint.
Lord
Broken Down Hipjoint was exposed, however, and a blitz saw him lose the ball. The ball
(most fortunately) went straight into the hands of an unmarked human who ran into the touchdown zone.
(I mean really, what was going on, the Lords were being diced completely.) The humans were undoubtedly playing well.
The half finished at 0-2. Good play in that half by the visitors.
(Lucky bastards!)
The second half was normal fare. The Lords slowly advanced and made reasonable progression. On turn 13 the humans made four blocks which were all successful and included two more KOs
(Can you freaking believe it!). This put the drive in jeopardy. The Lords moved the ball into scoring position on turn 14, but yet another well crafted KO on Lord
Broken Down Hipjoint by those
(lucky, lucky, lucky) well trained humans effectively ended the drive.
The game ended with the humans surrounding Lord
Eye Need No Lids with the intent of causing grievous harm to this prone Lord. Yes, that's right. The humans, who had been welcomed and treated very nicely on the pitch by our Lords, resorted to a turn 16 foul. The crowd howled and screamed at the filthy apes! This would be remembered!!
The game ended 0-2. The stats may not reflect
(how stupidly lucky the humans were) how the game panned out, but some three of four key moments
(incredible unfortunate moments) decided the Lords fate. Blocking was not effective for the Lords today. The Lords made 43 blocks for 5 armor breaks. The Humans made 33 blocks for 12 armor breaks.
(What kind of dumb luck is that!). Still, the Lords were without doubt the moral victors for not being too rough on their opponents and not resorting to fouling when the game was over!
