Question about the ordobowl website.  The Journeyman Skink I hired for my MD2 match is now Pink on my roster.  What does that mean?  Do I need to fire him and replace with a brand new Journeyman (I have only 9 rostered players atm)?

Hey @peter.cosgrove I haven't heard from you and I left work early so I'm headed home. We'll have to try again another time. 

@peter.cosgrove  Hey we're up.  Game night on Tuesday work for you?  I can be there as early as 4PM.

Let me know.

Though tbh as long as I don't have to play against Chaos Pact again this season I don't really care what you do.

After 2 games we are the only team not to cause a casualty on the opponent.  Whee!

Round three begins 7/10. We are doing what we did last season where we play two rounds every three weeks. Rounds three and four will be posted Sunday 7/9.

Ok.  I was just hoping we could get the entire season schedule released in one shot like last season.  It makes it easier to schedule ahead and find tricky spots, especially in the summer when people tend to be busier.

What's up with round 3 schedule? Is that posted somewhere else or are we waiting for a time?

We are waiting ... not sure what or when for though.

Thanks

I can play on Monday or Wednesday at noon. (Tuesday is the 4th of July).

I am dropping my Underworld team for a Chaos Pact team. Underworlds low armor and lack of skills was really unpleasant for league play.

@savion47  @Weav  Can someone make the switch of Vraeden's teams in Ordobowl and get our match set up properly for tomorrow please? :)

Bought my ticket this morning.

Let's do Wednesday; I assume at GG.

Let's also hope I do better against your Chaos Pact than I did against jollyork's last match.

I live downtown. I'll know my schedule for the next week tomorrow. Noon is usually safe at guardian or the clubhouse. I need to redraft my lizards from last season, or make a new chassis pact team first.

I'll send you a message tomorrow.

Sounds good.  I am going to Seattle Thursday + Friday but could play at GG any other day.

Iron Golems has a pretty nice looking Wood Elf team on Kickstarter for the next couple of days.  You can also get a Pro Elf conversion kit or a Pro Elf team alongside the Woodies.

Hey @Vraeden looks like we are up next.  I'm not working this coming week, though I am hoping to get up to Seattle for a day or two later in the week (TH-F maybe), so I could play most anytime of most days

What's your schedule like and what part of town are you in?  I'm in Newberg so the further south and west would be best for me but could drive to most anywhere.

My 2 cents,

player models should look consistent and be numbered correctly. If you have had fun making custom players, they should be clearly positional. I don't want to remember that the guy with blue eyes is a blitzer and the brown eyes are linemen. If they are too similar, painting a color ring on the base with their position is enough for me.

Consistently turn models to show they have finished their action for the turn. In the heat of the game, it can be easy to forget which ones are done.

Throw away your custom dice that can't be read from across the table, or that use weird symbols.

Share dice, and leave out only the minimum necessary.

Stalling is valid.

Fouling is valid. Fouling every turn is valid.

Fouling on T16 is annoying, but ok.

Declare the models action before moving... Don't turn a move into a blitz, or a move into a pass.

Don't roll a die without saying why you are rolling beforehand. Rolling a D6 and THEN saying "ok, my Ogre isn't boneheaded so he blitzes..."

Pause after rolling blocks to make sure the other guy sees the dice, avoid rolling them far away.

ROLL the dice, don't drop them or flip them or roll them one at a time and have them bump into each other. ( that's a stabbing )

This should be printed out and put on a plaque somewhere, it's perfect. 

So I just came up with this stupid idea of 3 Vampires, 10 Thralls and Wilhelm Chaney.

It wouldn't be a boring weekend, I can almost guarantee that. :

An Apothecary is a waste but Dwarfs should take 4 rerolls?  What the hell are they going to do with them all?  

I don't see how an Apo can be a waste if you use it on your first CAS.  If you still haven't used him by the second half use him on the first KO.  Even Dwarf armor will break.

Hobgoblins, Goblins, Halflings, Snotlings and Thralls are the only pieces where you are losing TV by using an Apo to get them back in the game.  Every other piece is an even trade or better.

I could see preferring to go with the Bomb thrower if you are looking for shenanigans, but a RR over an Apo for Dwarves doesn't make much sense to me.

I need a head count for Airbnb. @sbr mentioned it but he'll have to go get his passport instead of being lazy & useless. :)

Generally it'll be in the $40-$60 a night range & I try to book where no one has to share a room & there's 1 bathroom per two people. A/c, a yard & w/d are also in my list of nice things to have. I was planning on staying until Monday morning unless anyone has an issue with that. 

My passport is officially in the works so I am 99.9% going up.

I would be fine with staying until Monday.  I might even stop in Seattle on the way home to see my daughter and take a bus home from there later Monday or even Tuesday.  That's a long way out though.

What about an apothecary? I know they aren't that important in this format (or for dwarves) but it would basically be a 12th player for only 50k.

I technically have a Facebook account but the last time I was on the site was 3-4 years ago when I created the account.

I am available within 6-8 hours on either these forums or Steam:  http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198018803208 

and would be more than willing to share my email and mobile number on request.  Except to michaels he already stalks me enough as it is.

sbr, do you want to play our match tomorrow night? 

Yeah that would be good. I can be their as early as 4PM.

Wood Elves, Ogres, Vampires, Halflings and a Treeman made to order starting next week.

That's a worse tease than before.

I'm actually probably going to switch to Humans, just for some variety (also because in order to get the blockers and blitzers I'd need to be competitive with the orcs, I'd basically have to buy a whole new team's worth of minis.)

I have scads of 3rd edition plastic orcs and humans you could use if you don't mind mixing and matching. 

Imma go with Lizards:  Tails of Yore
