Dirty Players are the best players. Also, more zombies because zombies are awesome. This post is dedicated to James Wade, Norse Lineman and Dirty Player who died before he ever got to foul a single guy with his new skill.

That last half was hard to watch at times but I'm glad I endured through it so I could see that glorious highlight reel. I also love how you just threw caution to the wind and started giving absolutely zero fucks in part, even if you won't admit it, because of the death of a player who's name you couldn't remember. In summation, gently caress Amazons. Dirty Player and save for a ghoul

For the record, I offered to record Macho Man Randy Savage sound bites for him ever time he fouls for the LP, and he declined saying he never fouls. 3 minutes into the second half and you are a dirty lier GNU

Block Save for a Ghoul If you're voting for ANOTHER zombie (putting the team at 13 players) you better be voting for Dirty Player, too. You're not going to see the entire team KO'd on a regular basis, but the risk of ejection justifies some extra depth.

New Ghoul and Kick sounds good to me. Victor has a bad habit of not failing dice rolls when you really need him to, it's terrible. TheNabster fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Sep 21, 2014 |

Camoes posted:Kick, it always seems so useful. People say this a lot but.. why? What's so useful about it other than eliminating those rare kicks where the distance, wind, and/or bounce all magically collude to force your ball out of bounds? At 1700+ TV, teams aren't going to be screwed over by a deep kick the way fresh Chorfs, Dwarves, or Khemri might be. You need a Blitz to capitalize on a shallow kick, and even then Necromantic aren't exactly flush with dudes who are good at sneaking through to get the ball from their starting positions in a good defensive formation. Kick sucks. Especially on Cyanide.

Also makes it so your opponent can't really load a side. Since you can just kick to the other side then they have to burn a bunch of movement. And you can always get a blitz.

When you don't have kick you pretty much just have to kick to the middle of the opponents half in order to make sure that they don't get a touchback. But when you have kick and you are up against like dwarves or khemri you can kick the ball to the back of the pitch and separate runners from blockers/Tomb guardians which is a massive advantage. Or if you are up against like elves you can kick short and force them to either make a few rolls to put the ball in a safe spot or force them to commit to a punching fight they can't win. Or hope for a blitz and just catch it. That being said I usually don't take kick on my teams because most of my favorite teams are slow so kick isn't as useful. Edit; Victor Vermis probably knows all this already but I wanted to make a post about it anyway.

CongoJack posted:Edit; Victor Vermis probably knows all this already but I wanted to make a post about it anyway. Another thing to consider with Kick is the team you're using and its most commonly used defensive formations. This is Gnu's defensive formation against Zons for a Turn 1 Kickoff:  With 2x Wights, 2x Flolems, 2x Wolves, and 1-2 Ghouls, there will be 3 LoS Zombies and 1-2 side zone zombies for protecting Wolves and/or Ghouls from Blitzers. You don't want the Flolems on the sides because they're slow to react and you need them to hold the center of the field. This is Gnu's formation against Zons for a Turn 6 Kickoff:  On a short drive, Gnu denies the sidelines by placing his Flolems in the side zones. Although a Wight is missing here, the team is short a Ghoul now, so the result is the same: There is a Zombie in the middle zone. As Veloxyll and Congo Jack mentioned in their examples of "Loaded Side" formations and defending against cagey teams, playing defense on a short drive is objectively a good time to have Kick! I don't think it is terribly useful for the only kickoff you're guaranteed see at least once per game, though- that being the long drive kickoff. Better to have a Zombie that is good at taking up space, screening, taking down opposing players, or removing opposing players.

Franken Castle (Rest In Piss) got to use Kick a couple times IIRC, but I won't go out of my way to get a kick zombie in a place to use it. Cyanide's Kick isn't such a useful skill that I will alter my defense to take advantage of it. If a zombie is going to be inside the Wide Zone and not on the LoS I'll make it a Kick zombie, sure, but it's more of a luxury than a necessity Though, like people mentioned, Necromantic are one of the few teams which prefer to only field 3 linos, and those linos on defense will always end up on the line, because I'd rather have my Flesh Golems free to position on my terms. Putting Flolems on the line defensively isn't wrong, per se, but they can sometimes get caught up in the scrum or just get knocked down and dispatched

Jade Star posted:Whats the difference between kick and cyanide's kick? Fumbbl's kick (and kick as it's interpreted in the rulebooks) has you roll the kickoff scatter die first and lets you choose whether or not to apply Kick to it. So, if you roll a 6 on the kick die, you can see where the ball would land and choose whether or not you want it to be 6 squares away or 3 squares away. It may seem a bit trivial but it's really handy and offers you more flexability, especially if you just want to put the ball in a corner, aim for the middle of one corner, and the ball scatters 6 squares towards the center (or rather the opposite corner). Having Kick be applied automatically puts the ball right in the middle of the field (which is what you wanted to avoid) but letting the ball scatter 6 squares means the ball goes 3 more squares away towards a corner. e- For posterity's sake here is the text from the CRP

Turning Kick to ask in Cyanide is as effective as switching Dodge to ask. You are actually meant to be able to not use dodge. So you can not get your mans surfed and instead fall over like a worthless lino. A surf is guaranteed off the pitch. A Knockdown lets you roll armour and you might only get stunned even if they beat armour.

Regardless of if kick is good in cyanide blood bowl, it sounds BORING. Getting a positional advantage whereby you slow the opponent down by a turn so that a turn is simply wasted and nothing awesome happens on that turn won't make videos better. That's why I voted for dirty player, I wanted to vote for pass block, but I doubted anyone would agree with me and I wanted to make sure kick lost.
