We of Dar would like to offer to host the Worlds First Blood Bowl Games
The Turn after next (Turn 8) Please send a Team to Easter Dar for the Blood Bowl.
The Game is rather a neat one, you send your team of 20 players, 10 Primary players, and 10 replacement players.
The goal of the team is to get the ball from your side of the Arena to the other side of the arena, this score a goal point. The opposing team's goal is to try and get the ball from you and get it to your goal area. Spell casting, assassinations, poisons, prayers, and good ole pointy sticks are some valuable tactics and tools of the game. The teams with survivors will go onto the next round of games, until all are eliminated but one.
The winning team gets to host the next "Blood Bowl" in 4 years time.
There is an entry fee of 40 golds per team attending which must be given to the Hosting Nation, and you are free to spend whatever on the Team you are sending.
Note: Only contending players may cast spells, pray to deities, or partake in the game in any way.
this means no outside influences beyond the players!
If your Ruler is a caster and you wish to risk yourself in the games, that's your choice. However wounds and death are a reality!
Some examples for orders of how this can be handled.
All Other Orders:
Send 40 Gold Entry Fee to Eggonomicon the Gnomish Necromancer (Remember to put this in your budget section as any teams sent without a fee will be turned into undead as third string players for the Easter Dar team!)
Recruit Orders for the (Insert your team name here) Blood Bowl Team
Recruit 5 Swordsmen for the (Insert your team name here) Blood Bowl Team - $5

Playbook: (Offense) The team is designed for speed, and stealth with some lethal punches via Elementalist and Swordsmen. Get the ball to the goal fast!
(Defense) The team is designed for a solid defensive block, and a lethal punch to ball carriers. Form a solid Defensive line, and massacre them as they advance!
Or keep it simple: WIN, or DIE! (If you loose your family will be executed and turned into zombie slaves and used to empty my chamber pot!)
Please RSVP via responding to this post, so we know how many tents to setup.
Mike I assume you will use your standard battle calculations for the wins and losses, which is what I'm hoping rather than the past spend x gold for Olympic team.....
