Glad it wasn't just me...

Thanks for the charity attention Olli...

Look, I'm not an 'utter' noob, I'm one of those dirty 'Cyanide' coaches, I've played about 3000 games on that arse end of a client...

For the sake of the fact that I might turn up late, my roster:

Lizards:
6x Saurus
5x Skink
2x RR
Slibli

For the sake of keeping a small amount of secrets, my skill picks will be called on the day...

I am showing up, so don't let my opponent leave before I get a chance to roll any 'real' dice, I generally get upset if I can't finish a game in less than an hour...

Just understand I'll need a small amount of 'charity' turning up to this one, I'm out on a limb turning up when none of my 'close' friends are showing up?

Olli, you're on my hit list of people I need to follow around like I 'lost sheep' for the weekend....

Apologies in advance...

It'll be very odd for me to play this game sober, since I need to drive home each day, I'm used to playing blind drunk...

You guys knew each other so well I have no idea who was who as the NAF NAmes vs Real names used got confusing?

Anyhow, enjoyed myself, will be looking out for more events in the north to try and catch a few of you again!

Hmmm, only 2 undad teams, one knocked himself out of a coffee table and missed teh 1st day, 2nd was my Game 6...

So, by my logic, Dazlamb won the event from me failing a 2+ roll T16 :lol:

Valen, your NAF rank will have been kicked in the man sack for losing that game to me, sorry about that...

I'm kinda new to TT, but not new to the game? If that makes sense...

Not the point of the thread guys.

Always nice to see new people turning up at tourneys, and I hope to be able to continue attracting more with or without the help of this forum.
And I hope to see Verbal_HM and his friends who couldn't make this weekend at some of the other tourneys we discussed over the weekend. Don't worry about the names,NAF and real names seem to be perfectly interchangeable with BB'ers, and if you find yourself struggling the ''Drunken Moron'' normally gets their attention and you can point at the desired undesirable.

In others news:
Stan is a massive ponce who drank some beer and slept for 24 straight hours.
Daz broke Score.
Munch scored a TD and the success nearly induced a nosebleed.
I came second with a swingeingly bent dorf team of such awesomeness that Gav used an identical roster and proved how washed up he is.

Ten players in all. not bad but could do better. A packed calendar at this time of year doesn't help and nor does a shockingly high injury rate amongst some of the regular offenders.
If BB is to continue at the Rumble (and I hope it does) I'm pushing fora more sensible date and for it not to flail wildly around and 8 week window from one year to the next.

Anyway, next year there is talk of introducing some one day tourneys and some new systems, like Stars Wars and Attack Wing, and numerous others I have no real clue about. So that may be something we can use.

At a BB tourney if you are unsure of someone's name try calling them Dave. Seems about a 50/50 chance you'd be right :lol:

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

This would work with me!

Sorry I couldn't make it JT-Y. You know I'll be there next time.

(And I'll do my bit to prove Geordies aren't rubbish! Bad Stan!! ;) )
