It's good to have goals 
Was it that many!?  I should be ashamed for only winning by a TD then! Besides, looking at your 4-0, 4-2, 4-0 start last year I think overall you just used up the good rolls all at the beginning 
Perhaps we shall face off once more this year. Although rumor has it Purple Saurus Rex will be returning... |

I have no idea how I kept that game remotely close. It was horrid.
There are some unsubstantiated rumors that the Lizards are coming en force from the Keystone State. |

Hey, can I get in on the PA/Yankee action? Born/raised in Berks County, PA, residing in Cambridge, MA, bids are now being taken on whose side I'm on...
Kennst du Deitz wetzen? (Rare use of PA Dutch on the internet, as Amish modems are notoriously finicky.)

Answer this question:
Does the culinary dish Chicken Pot Pie have a crust?
If you answer correctly (a resounding NO, btw) you re a PA boy for all intents and purposes! Welcome aboard.
Cast off the repressive language abuses of the NEers and join your true brethren.
BTW, if you really wanna seal the deal, bring Lizardmen to the tourney. |

| was just looking at rules....why is the kickoff table still LRB 3.0 based....ugh. Is this a hold over from a long time ago? If there is one thing the PBBL got right it's the blitz, Pitch invasion and injury time---especially for tourney play...it'd suck to lose a game on the first kick off because of PI or Riot....or to lose 3 turns after driving 2+ hours. Also I find from playing in DB and last time I played this tourney that people were forgetting the blitz rule anyway.....so why not just use the LRB 4.0 anyway? |

--->Being from the town next to a Swanson plant that produced pot pies, I've tried to blank out any memories of the dish in question. It's kinda like if you've seen sausage made on an industrial scale; it'll throw you off your bratwurst for a little while.
If you want to talk Apie cakes, Tastykakes, ring bologna, or the like, I'm there.
--->As to the diction problems up here, my new favorite is realizing that the title of the kid's show "Dora the Explorer" rhymes...
--->to gken1: Melifaxis holds to a theory of blitz that says the "new" blitz is unfair to bashy teams, as they are more likely to have more than the minimum number of players in tackle zones. Feel free to try to dislodge him from this position; I've tried for a year now using a combination of logic, sarcasm and whining. |

I will be coming to the BB3 because I enjoy it for many reasons, but I happen to think that the LRB3 Blitz favors agility teams. I would be in favor of the "new" Blitz...Given that "Blitz-ers" can move people off of the line of scrimmage, one of the biggest advantages that you get when going on offense is taken away from the bashy team. The person that is receiving will likely only get a minimal amout of blocks when they are finally allowed to take an action.
Taking this a step further...the Blitzing team actually gets the LOS advantage because the can take multiple pre-emptive strikes there...that's a pretty big swing from a single dice roll. |

Bingo!
but blitz is #3 on the list....you're more likely to lose because of RIOT causing a 3 turn loss---happened to me a DB and a pitch invasion, Injuring a couple of your players. |

also:
LRB 3 blitz (Bash Offense/Agility D): Agility Dodges away, blitzes one key area- gets under the ball.
LRB 4 blitz (Bash Offense/Agility D): Agility gets Key blitz and gets under the ball. Bash still gets to hit the line.
LRB 3 blitz (Agility Offense/Bash D): Bash hits the line + gets a blitz in---possibly taking out a few Agility players + can foul.
LRB 4 blitz (Agility Offense/Bash D): Bash can hit one player and can't foul.
Plus with Melifaxis's rule, why even add a silly roll when the player will be able to move all the players he want's to anyway. just adds an extra roll which does very little. |
