Change "Hail Mary Pass" into "Hail Nuffle Pas

Dunno if it's the right place to put this idea forward, but well...

Here is my argument for changing the name of the skill:
A catholic saint (?) name doesn't really have anything to do with BB, does it ? Whereas now, Nuffle is really something coherent with the world of BB. If not Nuffle, then another God/Goddess name from Warhammer world would do, but come on...

Let's change that, shall we ?

Sounds like a good idea to me, but I don't think Nuffle likes to be asked anything...

Yanny, you don't know what forces you are messing with, you are given one chance to withdraw this silly and repulsive idea (none of that

Dragoonkin).

BTW, the name of the skill is only used in game terms to give a quick description of the skill, it has nothing to do with BB background or fluff, so in football terms, Hail Mary Pass is a correct name for the skill as everyone will know what it is supposed to represent. Renaming the skill would just cause confusion and

I'd rather it be call the "Up Nuffle's" Pass.

I've actually never taken this skill, it reads more like a punt or a clearance pass, is that the best way to use it? Maybe diving catch could make a little interesting.

Yeah, dammit! Ho can you even consider naming something that's useful occansionally after Nuffle (sucks!!). He's completely useless.

If you want to rename it something useful, call it the Hail NBA pass [insert bowing icon here]

But isn't that the point - sometimes Nuffle will bless your Hail Nuffle Pass and you'll actually catch it

Ignore the NBA, poor heretics who will pay for their blasphemy in the next life (or tournament)

Well at least 2 NBAers were in the REBBL Challenge League play offs!

We are the way, and the lights of the pitch!

We could rename it "Hail Cthulhu Pass"
But then you will have to sacrifice a player to the Great Old One or he will be insulted and eat the whole team.

Dwarf beard tickle the mouth.
I prefer skaven, the make great rat-burgers.

So the sect called NBA (Needless Berserk Activists) still lives on, does it ? Not bored of trying to sound important ?

Well, Nuffle doesn't care, you know ?
Tell me, did you start this little game because you lost too much and wanted to blame it on the dice ?

See you on the field, big mouths !

I'd just call the skill "Punt", myself...since that's what it is. But then it seems odd for a Passing skill.

If Kickers were official...rip it from Passing, throw it in Kicking, and call it Punt. But they aren't; so it's Hail Mary Pass...which is basically a Punt but I'm talking in circles now.

Hey know we have the skill Punt in my league so don't go confusing the issue here.

I know I'm playing you.
Anyway, you don't understand the doctrine. We know Nuffle doesn't care. That is our point!
And no, we don't blame dice because Nuffle is the dice!
We are blasphemers against the entire concept of Nuffle and his fickle dice!
