Well, I could go with the obvious apple based names: Rotten Apples, One Bad Apple Spoils the Bunch, Blocky Appleseed, etc.
But their concept is that they are worshippers of the Greek Goddess of Chaos, Eris (Discordia to the Romans). The apple is the the golden apple of discord. I could ramble on further but I will leave it at that.
As for the name: Five Fingered Fist of Eris |

I think "Fruit of the Loom" would be better!
Or better yet "Fruit of your Mother" !

Okay boys, the rules are now up for your perusal on the first post of the thread. I am trying out some new things this year and am curious as to how they are going to work out.
These rules are set in stone now, so be confident in planning your teams. |

The question was raised as to why I am limiting the skills during creation to only two?
There was also another concern: are star players too powerful to be allowed in tournament play?
Ben had pointed out to me that Varag Ghoul Chewer was a glorified orc blitzer. He has the following advantages of a rookie blitzer: (+1 Strength, Jump up, Mighty Blow, Thick Skull). Like all star players he also comes with the Loner nega-trait. All this for 260,000 g.p.
To buy this same player from a rookie blitzer it would break down as follows:
Blitzer - 90K
+1 St - 50K
Jump Up - 30K
Mighty Blow - 20K
Thick Skull - 20K
Total - 210K Heck for that price I could make him Strength 5 and still not have the Loner trait!
Some also thought that Morg might be too powerful. Morg is an ogre with the following advancements: +1 Strength, +1 Agility, +1 Armour, and Block. He has the Loner trait as do the Human's ogres (but not the ogres on an ogre team, but the big notable difference is that Morg does not have Bonehead. But at a whopping 430,000 g.p., he carries a hefty price.
Compare that to a rookie ogre with the same stats.
Ogre 140K
+1 Strength - 50K
+1 Agility - 40K
+1 Armour - 30K
Block - 30K
Total - 290, 000 g.p. for this price you could get an ogre of Morg's calibre (with bonehead) plus another rookie ogre. Is the extra 140, 000 you pay for Morg really worth it for getting rid of the Bonehead?
So in many cases it was more economical to tool up a regular positional player to the level of a star player (with the exception of star players with Exceptional skills). Seeing as star players were already seen as "too powerful" then by allowing the teams to create most of them, it did not make sense to allow it.
By allowing only two skills per player, it allows for a lot of team development, as well as makes the Star players more of a consideration to shell out the big bucks for. |

Oh, the point had been brought up so I would like to clarify a point about star players.
Should two teams show up to a match and both have the same star player, then both teams will be allowed to play with that star player. Given the method of going from board to board; travelling through warp tunnels, Slann magics, etc etc, it is quite feasible that the player could be in two places at the same time. Don't try to understand the logistics of it, just play the damn game! |

I am indeed interested.
Cheap skills and a lower starting TR is pretty crazy. Especially when you consider the skill combos out there.
Personally, I would been a lot more strict on the limitations, allowing only one skill per player.

If anyone is giving me ideas, it's you.
The only reason I would change the rules at this point would be to spite you! |

Blank Page is in the TBBF - he's George "Get in the Urn" Hewitt!
While we're at it, let's teach them to stop saying "loose" instead of "lose" (e.g. Clan-Skaen will always "lose" when plays against Spazzfist).  |

You know, after this past weekend I vowed to give up 1of 2 things: Drunk Driving or 'Yo Mamma' and I chose 'Yo Momma'. But all I get is 'Yo Mamma' shoved in my face daily.
So you know what? Fcuk it! My team is gonna 'five finger' your mom before they fist her. What else can I say? Yo mamma's gitch is like a roast beef sandwich; aged and nothing but loose meat. Want more? Bring it on!! |

Word. I hear you there my white brotha gansta.
I think we offended enough people's sensibilities with that one over the weekend of the CO! Time to move on to newer and even more offensive jokes! |
