Your worst game ever

diakos · Post by **diakos** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:14 am

Every game i play against Dwarfs, as soon as the little buggards enter the pitch, my players with block roll attacker down, players without roll both down, every GFI comes up a 1 on re rolls too.
All ball handling rolls are 2 re rolling to 1 and armor-rolls never become an issue.
Had 2 big-guys fall and die from GFI's, in 1 match, heck the apothecary re-roll made them even deader.

And they generally roll a "bad roll" on 1 dice during entire match, average armor roll is 11.

I don't mind losing to a superior player or team, but losing to dice-rolls every-time... no thanks.

diakos, my life is "losing to dice", at least in BB. I can't recount how many times I've needed to GFI to carry the ball across the goal line and rolled a 1 followed by a 1, regardless of whether the player has Sure Feet or I had to use a Re-roll. My teams invariably need 5 or 6 attempts to pick up the ball. My throwers fumble more than other teams even attempt to throw. My players with "Right Stuff" when I use TTM frequently get head-planted into the space where they got picked up (I had one my favorite players CAS'd doing this - luckily he survived!).

Part of the game is dice. Mine hate me. Hate, with a passion that knows no bounds.

I once remember a match on Skijunkie (LRB4 rules).

My opponent's team and mine were quite crippled before the beginning of the game. I had 10 players and he had 9 players.

Then we set up, and my team kicks the ball to start the match.

Then a Pitch invasion ==> 1 death, 2 SIs, 3 KOs for him...

Match ended. Team destroyed....

New Low

Playing against friends Daleks (think Dwarves with a slight twist) My Orks

he took out at least 1 a turn but by some miracle I managed to throw the ball well out of his reach. by turn 8 I had a Troll and a Line Ork left. Restart and 8 come back at which point he does it again. Lost 1 nil.

Played by the rules

only blockd with the blockers and troll
made sure I only did 2 dice blocks if possible. Put them down but htey always got up.
meanwhile he broke armour EVERY TIME. what can you do at least nobody died.

The last match my Khemri had (against Undead) was 4-0 to him. At least two of those TDs were from picking the ball up in a couple of tackle zones, a couple of dodges to hand off, GFI once or twice to score. Only reason it wasn't a complete disaster is that I passed all Regen rolls, so the same skeleton managed to die twice and still be on the pitch at the end of the game. He failed his regen roll for one of his mummies that I killed.

Dismayingly, today was my worst game ever... ever....

Undead vs Dwarves and even my opponent was begging me not to throw "1s".... An engineer, he estimated my average for the day was "somewhere between 1.5 and 2!" I ended the first four turns with Double Skulls or Skull/Block and the next three turns with fumbling pick ups.... Every turn I started by (if lucky) getting to pick up 5-7 members of my team.... I did pick up the ball on turn eight of the first half and complete a dink pass for a point... but the Dwarves had already shouldered past me for two scores....

The Dwarven eigth turn of the first half would see pouring rain and the second half kick would involve a riot! Seven more turns later and the Dwarves would not only score again, but their one skill runner (block) would knock down my mummy on the bookends of three 2d blocks I would throw, the middle being a push.... I'd pick up the ball only once more and promptly fumble the pass on a "1"....

If I threw one die, it was a skull/1... if two dice, skull/block or 1/2....

He got one casualty and it was a -St ghoul (again!).... A wicked stiff finger (yet again) to the BBRC who think regen on a ghoul, and an either/or apothecary, are somehow too good for undeads... (and giving Dwarves "runners"... what the hell were you thinkin'?! )....

Of course, that ghoul would get the MVP and a regular skill up.... *sigh*

My opponent came to play and wound up a spectator... I came to play and wound up expectorated....

I'm too cursed to curse....

My worst game was probably today:

First game of the new season, my rookie norse team played against a rookie Khemri team.
I failed nearly every first dice roll of the turn (needless to say, I was soon out of rerolls) and his armour and injury rolls were quite often in the 10's. match finished 0-2 for him with 4 of my team in the KO'd box and 5 in the injury box...
By some miracle though, all the injury rolls were "badly hurts"

Heyo,

I think anyone who has played Blood Bowl for any significant amount of time would have waaay too many "bad games." The dice gods are a cruel sometimes.

My worst game recently had to have been my Ogres vs. Norse. Usually my Bonehead rolls are a thing of legend, typically failing 1-3 a game. Well I guess my good kharma maxed out this game. First few turns went as expected, with me receiving the ball and pounding face down the field. I get to within scoring distance, and it all went downhill. Failed bonehead rolls left and right. I'm talking atleast 1 a turn, and upwards of 5 (out of 6) in a turn. It was an ugly game and I got curb-stomped. Final score was 4-0 as my poor snotlings tried to pick up the slack.....

He even managed to get two of my ogres into the casualty box.....

This isn't mine, but it just happened in the league I'm running. Rookie wood elf team vs. rooke ogre team. Wood elf coaches first game ever. I'm warning him about how fragile his players are. Kickoff result is get the reff. The evles pull the ogres down one by one and kick them, killing one and giving two stat losses. On the next kickoff they rolled Throw a Rock, and the rock broke one of the ogres hips. The ogres couldn't make a bonehead roll to save their life, literally.

Maybe todays match my elfs against experienced skaven team [TV over two million]. First half was disaster to me. On turn three I had six players on the field and when skavens scored [~turn six] I had four players on the field. It is not about that my dice rolls were bad but my opponents rolls were too good. Almost every turn he got some of my players out of the field. Distribution of his rolls were like every other roll was either 5 or 6.

I didn't like that. On the other half he changed dices. After that our rolls were kinda equal [even though he didn't roll 1 a single time..] and match ended 2-0 to him. Prediction after first half was much more worse than 2-0.

I'd opt for game 3 at Albabowl this year. I don't remember who I played, where I played, what team I played, what the score was or much of what happened afterward. I was later told I should have had a reasonable draw instead of losing horribly but I can be reasonably sure that it was the worst I have ever played in a game.

My 1st ever game of blood bowl - I was playing Dark Elves, and all I had to do was make 2 gfi's with a line elf with the ball, to win the game, tied 1-1 on my Turn 8.

Make the first one, 2nd gfi, I roll a 1. Use my last reroll...roll a 1. Not only does the line elf fall in the end zone, he DIES. The crowd throws the ball in after it scatters out of the end zone, right to one of my opponent's players, who then does a hand off and pass to score in his turn 8.

Welcome to Blood Bowl.

I had a friend do much worse. It was back when pitch invasion meant d6 injuries to lose. His first game of BB in years after swearing it off. He took a pitch invasion on his first turn with a Chaos team... 4 dead, 1 si (ST -), and 1 Badly Hurt. Without a word, he picked up his miniatures and walked out of the game store. He hasn't played BB since (this was probably 7-8 yrs ago)

worst game:

definitely a quarter final between my darkelves (without a lost in the season before) and the skavens (the last one in the table). Nuffle had decided to roll the dices for me. I had 12 turnovers caused by double skulls or failed dodges (normally with dodge skill). Only one action was good, so we went in overtime 1-1. Of corse I lost the coin flip, make 3 oder 4 more turnovers and he had not the problem to score. It was the only time the other coach looked away when I threw the dices. It was a terrible match with I will never never want to get another time.

worst game of a friend of mine:

He played with orcs and got four niggling (LRB4) in the first game, two on blitzer, two on blackorcs. IIRC a thrower got MA-1. This teams as never won a single match in this season. He got the virus handicap a couple of time.

Well, I've had two pretty dire losses with my humans this year. One was last season, and I was playing against an Amazon team. I figured I wouldn't be able to outrun them, so the declared tactic was trying to power through instead. Well, it spectacularly backfired, and I ended up losing 0-6 on casualties. I'll know better next time.

The last game the team played was against Pro Elves, with quite a lot more value than mine, so I didn't really expect to win, but I thought I might have a chance at a decent result if I neutralized some of his key players. Well, he got blitz twice and nearly didn't use rerolls the entire game, and I ended up losing 2-6 without really playing that poorly.

It's hard to beat Pro Cheese, even when ahead in rating.... It was incredibly sporting for you to take on the game....
