Editors Foreword

Welcome Sports fans, to the first edition of MEAT! Magazine. For those of you who haven't heard of us, we are a publication dedicated to bringing you the latest Blood Bowl news, gossip, and the inside information on the Blood & Snot league.

We'd like to thank the owner of MEAT! Magazine, the exalted Count Ruprecht von Murdoch; who kindly chained us to our desks in almost complete darkness to work on this publication. All hail our lord and master!

Read on Sports fans.....and be amazed!

The Regular Season Kicks Off

The League Commissioner has stated that he is very happy with the state of the League overall. As a newly formed league the Team retention has been high and the number of expansion Teams has surprised even the Commisioner.

During an Interview he was quoted s saying:

“I know we cut it short... but the new season will be great,” and

“We went through the mill, but hey that’s blood bowl  ... We’ve lost some great coaches, recruited better ones ... and some of the coaches who decided we weren’t for them have moved on... good luck to them”

The rumour mill has it that there has been an increasing spread of Nurglerot amongst those Coaches’ and Teams that are no longer under the Blood & Snot umbrella. Coincidence or malice? You decide.

There are plenty of new Rivalries already taking shape and old ones that are opening old wounds.

This Season is looking to be a fantastic orgy of violence, intrigue and of course Blood Bowl.

Scry Sports

For those of you who don’t know, Count Ruprecht von Murdoch is broadcasting Blood & Snot games LIVE via Scry Sports.


How it works: Simply take the Scry Sports crystal ball and point the anntenEYE at the pitch. This image is captured and then sent up to the Skaven-run Scatter-Light, which, like the name suggests, scatters the image all over the realm. You can capture this light in your very own Scry Sports crystal ball at home, for your viewing pleasure! You can get so close to the action, you can almost smell the Orcs!

While you’re enjoying all the wholesome treats that only a game of Blood bowl can offer, spare a thought for those poor rats working up there so high above us - they only went up there because they thought the moon was made of cheese!

Grudges Arise

The newly formed Division5 Blood and Sweat kicked off and caused quite a stir. It appears that the Long Jetty Prawners crowd became an influencing factor as just prior to kick off a large unidentified flying object caused the death of Rookie Saurus Mohrngred. The Saurus didn’t see the genetically modified prawn until it was too late! But at least the Autopsy revealed that the Saurus didn’t feel too much and certainly didn’t suffer.

This has caused the Unimaginable Scales Coach Ruiner to become enraged. Even during our scrounging for Potions and bribes we could hear him scream Keeeeel them! Keeeeel them aaaaaaawwwllllll!"

It’s a disgrace that our hard earned Entry Fee and concessions go to paying these Estrogen laden meatheads! But at least they give us something to watch on Scry Sports primetime every day every hour!

 

Coach Review

 

HirnKhan (aka “Coward Coach” after the catacombs incident) – Division3 Coach
Division 5 Administrator
Team – Rats with Attitude
Current Record – 0-0-1

After his contract was abruptly brought to a close with the Bloody Horns of Khorne he has now signed a Coaching contract with the Rats with Attitude. No one is quite sure where they came from, but judging by the barrels of Orca Cola Mix, we assume that they have been drugged by the Coward Coach. We will be looking into this further and provide details to you our public as they arise – or we place the evidence and report it to you.

Snotty Goblins at it Again

MEAT! Magazine apologizes for the short interview; it was at this Point that Scabor’s Journalist passed out. We haven’t heard much from him since. Please return him if found.

 

 

Bounty Bars

It seems some players have been attracting a lot of attention recently..... so much so, they've got a price on their head! Needless to say, these players ought to be careful on the field..... or some of their own team mates might collect on the bounty!

The Purpose of the Legion of Vega is Threefold:


1) To Bring the Standard of your Game (Battletech/MegaMekNET/Megamek) up to a higher niveau at a much greater speed than learning the Hard way,

2) To give each member of the Legion a sense of belonging, Camaraderie and Contribution to the Campaign,

3) To teach Legion Members how to play the Campaign.



Your Faction Leaders have come together to give the Legion an Opportunity like no other.
No other House runs anything like this. It is best kept to ourselves. You are our secret weapon!

The Purpose of the Legion is to amass as many Points on Foreign Worlds as possible and to amass as many Components as Possible.
Each succesfull Battle will be logged and the results entered into a Form. This Form will be open to all to view.

How will Points be gained?


Points will be only be Valid when the Operations given are Performed on Target Worlds of the LoV. These Operations and Target worlds are those that are entered into the LoV Targets and Operations Post. Any excursion made elsewhere incl. SOL and Other Operations will not count toward the LoV.

Of course you will be called upon to defend the Combine at various times, for this you should also log the Battles. Again AFR will not be included in the Tourney ladder. As a secondary note, as you cannot select the Operation type and Planet world, all Defensive Operations will be included.



How will Components be gained?


Components will be only be Valid when the Operations given are Performed on Target Worlds.
They will also be counted upon succesfull Factory Defenses.



How do I submit my Results?


You submit results by entering at least the PreBattle Report (as seen in Main Channel) and the Post Battle Report (as seen in Faction Channel).
It is preferred that a Battle Description also be submitted.
If a Battle Report is not submitted the Operation will not be counted.



Where do I submit my Results?


A seperate Battle Results Thread shall be Opened Specifically for the LoV and Labelled as such with a Date in teh Title marking it as Current.



How will I know how I am going?


At the top of the First Post is the URL of the GoogleDoc for all to view.



The Legion of Vega has become a competition. The Competition is to be friendly and any non-Teamlike conduct amongst SubFaction Members will be noted and discipline will result in Dismissal from the SubFaction.

Now as to the Prizes!

The Person to win the LoV will receive:

1 Mongoose MON-70 (Rare Build Table Pull)

 

1 Kintaro KTO-19 (Rare Build Table Pull)

 
This represents 55RPs and should be incentive enough to fullfill the Admin required.

We wish you Best Speed and Good Hunting. May you Serve the Combine Well!
