Conversation with the Commish


Welcome back to BFL Live, I am Booyah Scot. BFL Live crawled under a rock to get our next interview with BFL Commissioner Davesh, associate underlord and personal secretary to...(muffled)Do I really have to say this every time?!?(muffled)...to Our Great Doom Khorne. Let's hear what the Commish has to say about rough play, penalties and aging player. Booyah!

BFL: Commissioner, thank you for the interview. How is the Bloodlust Football League progressing since opening week?
Davesh: All is wretched in this abysmal world, but ticket sales have been brisk, and scalping has never brought higher prices. The elven scalps have been especially sought after, particularly by the Lizardmen of K'mer. Our first league death brought me much satisfaction. May we see especially gruesome dismemberment of wholesale teams. Praise, Khorne.
BFL: What are some of the new rules regarding the use of Secret Weapons this season?
Davesh: Instead of kicking these players out, we will require sight verification by the refs. Before each kickoff excluding the kickoff at the start of the game, a Penalty Roll will be assessed against each Secret Weapon player that was used on the last drive. If the roll is high enough, the referee saw the player using his weapon. The player will be immediately banished. Just because the player has a Secret Weapon does not mean that he will use it. We encourage all of our players with Secret Weapons, such as bombs, chainsaws and pogo sticks, to use them...early and often. Praise, Khorne.
BFL: Any rules changes for Star Player Points?
Davesh: Yes. Because the current FBL season is only ten games, plus a playoff, I have enacted the following changes. Players receive Star Player Points for Casualties if the player's block succeeds in piercing his victim's armor, except on Foul Actions. It does not matter if a player is stunned, knocked out, seriously injured or killed, the blocker will receive points for it being a Casualty. This will accelerate the development of our players during this short season. We hope for mostly maiming and death. Praise, Khorne.
BFL: What about Aging?
Davesh: Because of the magicks associated with quicker player development, players may age more quickly during the season. Players must check against Aging when they gain a new skill or trait. This follows the FBL's 2002 League Rules. The 2002 season was quite excellent. Upon winning the Bloodlust Cup, the Auchsley Reavers disintegrated into dust. Apparently the league magicks sped up their bodies too much. It was quite a spectacular sight watching the recipients of the Bloodlust Cup use it as their urn. Praise, Khorne.
BFL: Commissioner, thank you for your time.
Davesh: May your soul be splayed across the pitch to be eaten by crows. Praise, Khorne.

...Booyah! That was BFL Commissioner Davesh, associate underlord and personal secretary to Our Great Doom, Khorne. Tune in tomorrow as we get the results for the New Ork Gimpee Limbz versus Slaaneshi Libertines game. Booyah! This is Booyah Scott for BFL Live. Booyah!
