My summary of the game so far (from a vamps perspective)

1st off, who picked the roster? 4 vamps and 3 rerolls! other way around please! and then fielding all 4 at once, with no pro between them! I'm afraid to play the game file on for all the failed Bloodlust rolls I will see.

Ogre Turn 1: pretty funny start :) throw a goblin, break his leg. but isn't that a turn over?

Vamp Turn 1: good starting Blitz puts a orge stunned, but silly 1 die block V an ogre when I would have dodged a vamp to gain another assist, cost a valuable and scarce reroll, which was needed for the failed Bloodlust. Also should have bitten the prone thrall so as to keep a 2 die block on the ogre, rather than dodge away.

Orge Turn 2: Usual bashy turn, unlucky to fail a dodge near the end, but no biggy

Vamp Turn 2: recovery turn and going for the goblins. too many vamps near ogres, need to get them out of there ASAP

Ogre Turn 3: Ogre nicely moves a vamp out of his tacklezone by blocking :) but then kills a thrall and then a lucky TTM score

Vamp Turn 3: BLITZ! recovered reasonably well from the blitz! stunned another Ogre, and SI a Goblin, could be tricky to stop the Ogres nicking the score.

Ogre Turn 4: As predicted the Ogres scored easily, no more damage though.

Vamp Turn 4: Pitch invasion, stunns 2 thralls, 1 vamp and knocks out a vamp. the kickoff rolls are really going agains the vamps this game, and the ball is miles from a standing player. going to be a prime opertunity for the Ogres to steal a TD again. used the last reroll on a bloodlust. have to go 4 turns without a reroll now. stunned another ogre, their armour is weak but thier body is strong! failed another bloodlust roll (too many vamps, not enough rerolls)

I've sent the file to Mel, I think he was next on the list for the Ogres. I got the e-mail address from his web page. hope it is the correct one

Emberbreeze played turn 4 for teamB and I just played turn5 for teamA...not much to report.....Xtreme the ogre bashed a vamp to the pitch, but he's just prone...Levinas the ogre was a bonehead...

I'm a bit confused about who gets the file now as I would have expected to send it to emberbreeze. I will send it to kithor and copy my work address so if I did the wrong thing I will be able to forward it from work.

Short report:

Very good turn for Team B.Thrall Chrimbo managed to handover the ball to the Vampire Emberbreeze.And the vamp throwed the accurate pass to Thrall Kithor2002 who caught it.And now he's running straight to the endzone.

:P

Hi Guys and Gals

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I'll try to remember what's important in life 8)

Just did my turn and it was a good one. Knocked down the ball carriering thrall and picked up the ball with a gobbo. All in all things are looking good for the Snowflakes but typically, the Ogre Orin was boneheaded.

I think I'm sending the turn to powerturtle now so she can try to wrestle the ball away from me. Ha! I'd like to see her try!

Just one more thing: I've been getting a few strange messages about error strings added to the log and violated access or something. I can't really tell what the cause is but someone might want to check.

I've just unwrapped my new computer ....oww shiny!... and I've been trying to get the tool to work. So far I've just been able to get an ancient version to work. I remember having the same problems on my old system... Any and all help will be much appreciated.

At least my turn is done, but Powerturtle will have the same problem, since she's using the same computer.

Oops! Forgot about this, and haven't logged on as Darkson in the week since I've been back online.
If it's my turn, please PM Draco, as he's got my email address (and someone better remind me which team I'm playing as well!).
