That title's mine
I'll worry about the NAF ranking stuff once I join the NAF. Hopefully, if I have to wait until the tourney to join, they'll have the black/gold block dice there in vast supply.

I wouldn't worry about the dice supply, there is a horde of them, most of them seem to be broken and roll a lot of skull, specially when you play deathwing....

I don't know about that. We had a skull off at The Underword Cup in which the person to roll the most skulls in a single die roll won a lizard cheerleader fig. The most anyone rolled was 2 skulls with 3 tries and only one person did it.

Then agian had we been trying for pow's we would have gotten all skulls so I guess it all works out in the end :)

Got confirmation that there are three more Londoners attending.

I'll probably be providing another Luthor team :zzz: , but a Varag, Morg, Ripper team is tempting......

Shame it isn't 1.1 mill with just one SP max. Would mean much more team variety imho.

:o I hope not - we'll never hear the end of it

Do you have your Rimmer-esque BB notebook so you can record all the die rolls?

...and then I rolled a double six to break armour but only managed a 3 and 1 to get a stun...
*Cough*

Had a look at your sig lately mate :roll:

NAF?

Post by Slinky78 »

Right, slightly dumb question coming up... Had a look for a bit of info on this NAF thing, none of it very successful. I seem to remember I even signed up for it as soon as I saw the advert for the BB tournament, but just got some hideously long, relatively uninformative e-mails and noticed you couldn't get on the site.
So what exactly is it? All I know is they offer strange block dice, they're website doesn't work, and they're going to have rankings or something like that. If anyone can spare a few words on the subject please.

Ok, ok. If the even the rookie finds it a dumb question I'll re-post on the newbie forum.

No ! Bad guys are always the most interesting characters. Good guys sucks. In the movie, the one that really have fun is the bad guy. That's why they let the good guy win. They don't care. They've already won the interesting part. So cheer up your DE and ready your poisoned blade...

ah but .. (ever ready to change a quote) ..

"French feet are unsteady on English soil."

I, like many boxers, am undefeated in competitions. It's just that it's for the same reason .. I haven't played in many. (Leagues/friendlies not counted).

Yes but, as we'll be touched by grace, our feet won't touch the soil. There's nothing you can do to stop the french :wink:
well, the others at least. I'm planing to take my goblins for the fun of it. But i'm afraid not to be able to play the six games coz of casualties and not get the special fig :cry:
