The halfway point has arrived!
We seem to be a bit closer to a normal schedule now (except for rolling a day late). My fluff engine is still recharging, but should be at full capacity soon.
Week 3 saw some serious blood in a few matches - things are getting a little scary up in here.
Graveyard population: 4 (but that doesn't tell the whole story)
On to the matchups!
Border Crossers (HUM) HAVOL vs. Gorland Skulls (ORC) gorbag1 Immortal hasn't been kind to these two teams so far this season. Both squads are still searching for that elusive first win, but that doesn't mean they're packing it in. "We ain't gave up on nothing!" shouts BC catcher Detlef Mehia defiantly. "The only reason we're in this spot is someone swapped out our anti-lizard cream the last two weeks. When we find the scoundrel who done it, he's dead. But guess what? We're done with lizards this season." True enough, but the orc parade continues. Perhaps the humans' luck will change? "Nope," declares monstrous black orc Grubnash Goug'Hearts simply. "Luck ain't real. We smash. They get smashed. That's all." That's the kind of game plan we like to hear here in Immortal. The Utopian Unicorns (WOE) Coach Jester vs. White-Handz (ORC) Hudd This match sets up to be a major contrast in styles, and it has potential playoff implications as both mid-table teams currently sport 1-1-1 records. The winner would have the inside track on a playoff slot as we enter the back half of the season, but a draw would just muddy the waters further. The Unicorns are cash-strapped, but lucky for them some serious inducement money will be flowing their direction. "Yes, we're a little light in the wallet, but so what?" questions lineman Woodie Harrelson haughtily. "We don't need money to beat these guys. I mean, they're orcs - we know how to beat orcs. Doesn't everybody?" We shall see. "Ha!" scoffs Ugrsh, having recently received his official notification of legendary status. "Dem elfs is dum. We beat orcs. We beat elfs. We beat evruhting. Da end." Who are we to doubt the words of an Immortal legend? Even if we did, we'd never tell him.
The Hamnurglars (NUR) Michaels vs. Sour Saurii (LIZ) jounisii
This matchup sets up to be one for the ages: the murderer's row vs. the 2-time Immortal champs. The Hams have taken a shine to ripping apart orc armor, and it seems likely they'll enjoy tearing through lizard scales just as much. "Been a while since I've ate lizard meat," says nurgle warrior Lord Salvis the Devourer speculatively. "Don't rightly recall how it tasted. But I know I liked it. And I know I'll like it again - huh? What match?" It seems the nurgle may have been distracted by his appetite. Not so the lizardmen. "It'sss like hunting," explains Bitter Basilisk the mighty skink with a terribly toothy grin. "You eat what you catcsssh. But they won't catcsssh usss. And then we'll ssscore. And then we'll ssscore again." Blood and touchdowns: the best things about Blood Bowl. Sounds like this match could meet everyone's expectations...
Banana Warriors (LIZ) Parrigan Niall vs. Pur'pl Pee'pl Eatr's (ORC) DocOz3000 The final bout of week 4 features two teams apparently headed in opposite directions. The lizards are flying high, but for how long? Each week seemingly offers another date with someone nasty. Meanwhile, these orcs are down, especially after their run-in with nurgle claws last week. The good news? They're getting a huge pile of inducement money, maybe they can make some magic happen with it. "Everyone isss alwaysss being paid money to beat usss," comments Cavendish the saurus. "But we winsss anyway. Ssso go ahead, hire your wizsssard and your ssstar, little orciesss. Sssee if we care. We'll beat you anyway." Strong words, sounds an awful lot like hubris to us. "Dey tink dey gonna beat us? Har!" cackles blitzer Mogost Skullspliter with a mad gleam in his eyes. "You see all da gold dey gave us just to beat some dum lizards? We gonna beat dem so good... Wanna see my new scar?" This one could come down to that pile of money - rumor has it the orcs will be receiving over 600k! Please schedule your matches here by 23.59 GMT on Friday, October 16 and play them by 23.59 GMT on Wednesday, October 21. Let us know when the other immortals will be playing.
I may wait to roll until Thursday next week since we're getting a late start on the week. BBM is Immortal S6. Password is 123. Winner to upload, or home team in event of a draw.

The rest of the times are middle of the night for me and even tho I'm a night owl at times, I wanna be sharp for this one (well, as sharp as I can be which really isn't saying much). So how about Sunday at 19.00 GMT?

1-1 between the Punicorns and White Handz - I know I shouldn't play when I am drunk, but I just can't say no sometimes. (don't tell anyone)
Made a horrible mistake in the first half doing an unnecessary throw, allowing Eldril to sneak in with his pass block and get an interception. Unforgivable, especially as I use Eldril myself so often in Iron.
Fortunately , Jester (I presume it was some sort of sportsmanship thing), returned the favour and forgot about my passblock in the second half, allowing my blitzer to force a fumbled throw. PHEW!
Also. Come on Michaels - squish dem Lizards!

Tasty tasty.
