I feel a little uncomfortable playing the final by default. 19 UTC is too early for me. I can’t play before small person is settled in bed, which means a realistic start of around 21 ish BST/UTC+1. I could do this time any day but Thursday, Sunday and Monday this week. I could probably do 13UTC+1 on Saturday this week. Has Valis made the game live on the client yet?

Well, you can only beat what's in front of you. Hm, I'm unsure if I can make 13 UTC+1 on saturday. Try 21 UTC+1 (22UTC+2) on monday, if that works?

Again, sorry, earlier post was confusing. I meant I couldn't do Monday in the coming week. I always get confused about what day of the week it is when there are public holidays.

I really don't care anymore! I used to check this link on a daily basis excited to see what's going on, who will i play next, who's winning who is losing
Let's face it's if the two finalists are so casual about playing why would anyone else care?
Fun League feels dead to me and it's because of this lack of urgency, no sense of drama, "no need to rush how about next week?",why not flip a coin and be done with it?
If you have RL commitments that stop you from playing why the fuck are you here in the first place?
Ok please put this farce out of it's misery and we can decide whether its actually worth continuing with FL or has all enthusiasm finally dissipated

Let me see if my friend can rearrange their wedding so that I can play a computer game this weekend.
Although you do have a point on your broader observation about lack of urgency in arranging games.

What a stupid reply! We all have holidays friends weddings etc You have had almost a week and you are still no nearer deciding a fixture "I can do one Thursday morning in July" "Not me ,how about September?" Inconsiderate, irresponsible, unrespectful... What a pair of useless cunts! Shit or get off the pot Go find a league that has people in who don't want to play, who don't give a fuck and leave our league to those who don't moan through every fucking match and then nonce about when they have to fix a game!

I agree that the lack of urgency to plan matches has been getting worse, and is a problem now. As I have said before: the weeks should be rolled on time as cutting slack just makes people expect more slack. I don't, however, feel that neither I, nor as far as I know, Nearly, is the worst culprits here. I have on more than one occation actually posted to get the weeks to roll. I had a bit of problems to arrange my game over easter as I was at a cabin without electricity, but my opinion is that there should be given two weeks to arrange a game over easter. To sum it up; I feel your anger is a bit misplaced: I don't think I am the worst at planning games at all, and as I said, neither is Nearly, as far as I know. What we should do is enforce the one week per game rule, but it has to take into account holidays such as easter and christmas.. That said, me and Nearly will try to get the match played at 13 UTC tomorrow, saturday.

The final has been played to a 2 to 0 win for Short Cut against Nearly's Caimen Excise Dodgers, thus retaining their title for the second time.
The dodgers opted to start defending and two sauri was knocked out first turn. From there the dwarfs slowly made their way up the field finally knocking the krox after three or four attempts at fouling the big thing. Midway through the first half, it suddenly started to get ugly as three lizards got stretchered of in one short while, one of them selfinflicted as a skink after trying to block a dwarf with only one helping sauri. After that not much till one of Nearly's superskink got blocked after he somewhat unadvisedly took it upon himself to tag Mean streak III who was more than happy to hit him. The skink promptly died, but thanks to functioning shamans he only got a niggling injury from it. The turn ended with Moderately Evil Egil scoring his TD, before Nearly's two skinks and three sauri which he could field hoped for a quick snap, but still got to injure a dwarf last turn.
Second half, Nearly still couldn't field more than five lizards, as the saurus and krox in the ko box were still sleeping soundly. Trying to block some dwarves down to even the numbers a bit, promptly saw Otlitz, the saurus, fail his block even though it was a practiced move. Then and there ended the hopes the lizards may secretly have had to even the scoreline. That miss left the ball wide open, and Short cut could move through the scaled ranks to secure the ball. From there Short cut could just play safely and slowly move the ball forward for a turn 16 TD.
Thanks for the match, Nearly. You didn't stand much of a chance here after those quick early kos and certainly after those midway first half casualties. Well played keeping your morale through what seemed to be lizards having forgotten their scales at home..

The Krox didn’t actually spend any time on his feet did he?
