Blood Bowl (Old Skool - Warhammer American Football) Coming Q1/Q2 2009

Guys another update about the Online Keys... http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forumBB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3663

Hello,

We are informing you that websites selling Blood Bowl activation keys and player keys alone on internet are in the breach of the law.
These keys have been fraudulently obtained.
These series of keys sold by these websites have been identified and are being invalidated on Securom server.
I will also add that these keys have not been obtained from cheaper, boxed versions of the game as these websites claim.

Hello everyone,

After reading your different reactions concerning the non-legal keys, I wanted to state some things :

- all our partners are selling game AND codes. If a website sells serials and only serials, take care because Focus only provide game + serials.

- black listed keys were stolen. We know now that the stolen codes come from one of our publishers. Focus have never established any partnership with G2play or any other G2play-like websites. Furthermore, I read that these websites provided keys taken from retail versions of the game which is totally wrong: these codes come from the digital versions.

After many persons complained for being victim of swindle, it seems that G2play admitted that the keys were not legal… So they’re proposing either to reimburse the “victims” by Paypal or to give a different game or to provide new key.

I advise you NOT TO ACCEPT THESE NEW KEYS, you would take the risk of being blacklisted again!

We also know that a player who paid by Paypal has been reimbursed - by Paypal as well - while explaining the swindle.

Whoever paid via PayPal, make a claim immediately. Whoever paid by cc... good luck.

Min and max to 1000? That may create problems considering many teams are created with less than 1000 value...

I thought it would be more even if we all started out the same as we have several less experienced coaches, I don't mind changing it if people feel strongly about it though. Would just mean having the hassle of finding the league again to sign up to for 5 of us.

edit: if people's keys are going to start getting banned though, maybe we should try to get this kicked off as soon as poss otherwise it may be a very small league or at least postponed until September when the game comes out in the usual places ;)

The value should be 900-1000 starting, as it can affect how your team develops. Not everyone spends all their cash in the setup, its sometimes important to save some. :)
 
ok I'll redo it now, same password and same name.

Please sign up again The Mekon, French Tart, Jimmyboyo and Demondog, Sorry for the hassle!
 
Given the way that you now get free lineman to make up your team numbers, does it make sense to just buy positionals and spend the rest on rerolls/fan factor? Seems kind of broken...
 
Yeah it is a bit of an exploit, but I think you have to actually start with 11 players when you first create the team.

I think you have to fire players after one game if you want to exploit the system a bit. Not sure how it works to be honest but if someone does it I recommend forgetting about the match and concentrate on fouling and injuring the coach's positional/skilled players as much as possible :)

You MUST st ar t with 11, so its not an exploit. PLus free linemen don't level. :)

Lol..yeah :) I am a bit foul-happy myself but I'm trying to get out of the habit as it's a bit harsh sometimes...

Harsh? Out of the habit? This is Blood Bowl, the fouling rules are present for a reason. :D

Ahh.. good to hear /re the 11 player thing. I'm glad it's not so easily exploitable - though you could always pay for any free guys at the end of the match if they got an mvp/whatever.

/re fouling..yeah.. I don't get annoyed when other people do it but there are so many arguments about it on fumbbl that I try to avoid it :)
 
I generally try to foul as much as possible, if i dont injure them at least i get a chance to either reduce their movement on the next turn or jostle them out of position. Turn 8/16 is always about gratuitous violence for me if the ball has no way of going for a touchdown.
 
So who got banned? Because I can still log in fine.

Despite what they say I dont think they would be able to track the keys.

They might however be able to stop you from activating again on another computer. Because thats when it communicates with the server.

I will just wait and see and if it goes then I will wait for the price to come down.

They should really say on the site that it is exclussively on their site only, all other sites are dodgey.
