FAMOUS SIMYIN TEAM PROFILE:
THUMBSVILLE OPPOSITES
Did you really thought the New World was just home to scaly skinned Lizards and hard to block Amazons? Well, think again and read all about it below…
Team colours: Green and Orange Ower: Queen Mag the VI Head Coach: Alftoof Barkback Players: Bonobos, Orangutans, Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Silverback
Rising from the local (and rather small) Ball‐Brawl Association ‐ BBA, the Thumbsville Opposites quickly earned a reputation and a place of their own in the New World majors. After more than twenty consecutive wins of the BBA league, the new owner of the team ‐ Queen Mag the IV, ruled that it was time to aim for something bigger, and so the Canopy Kings Stadium was widened and enlarged, to accommodate the bigger events to be sponsored by the Canopy royalty. Despite the rough and troublesome start amongst the big teams of the New World, the Opposites soon learned how the game was played in the big leagues, and shown they too had a ace or two hidden up their furry sleeves. One of those, and probably the favorite of the fans, was to pitch at the same time all three triplet silverback brothers: Erwin, Ergin and Erlin ‐ the Kong brothers. They were so much identical that as long as they were out of each other’s way, everyone believed it to be the same one, over and over.

Canopy Kings Stadium inaugural game turns into a big fiasco: the mandatory and strict protocol of the ceremony with the Royal Canopy Family and entourage, delays the game for more than ten hours, and everyone ‐ except for the home team, deserted the place. Still, the game went on with the Opposites playing against the lowest servants of the Royal Family, and winning by 173‐0. To this day, 173 is considered their good luck number. New World Cup semi‐finals game against Opposites arch‐rivals ‐ Lizard Locomotive, goes horribly wrong. After the referee suspiciously missing yet another brutal foul from Mr. Tyr (Locomotive’s krox), the pitch turns into a open battleground, which quickly spreads to the benches and crowd. Up to his silverback with it, Erwin Kong, Thumbsville star player (later widely known as “King”), charged head on Mr. Tyr, in a fight that ended up wrecking most of Skull Island Dome, and leaving Mr.Tyr off the pitches for many months. Staff from the Newark Maulers human team, tries to persuade Erwin to dress as an Ogre and play for them, after allegedly having him signed a cooked up contract. The Kong thought otherwise, and after completely wrecking the place, made is way home ‐ but not before politely inviting and taking with him Mam’ Arrow, the lovely bloodweiser babe formerly working for the Maulers. Despite the notorious success of the team in plenty New World leagues, to this day it still waits to see his registry to be accepted by the Old World Rules Committee (OWRC).
Team Honours: New World Cup winners 2431 (VI), 2432 (VII), Gold Serpent Challenge winners 2435, 2436, 2437 (after which the Lustrian Committee changed the tournament rules and only forked tongue players were allowed to play in the GSC). Hall of Fame: Erwin “King” Kong (Most Casualties, Most Deaths, and Most Members Detach in NWCup IV, V, VI and VII). Spike! Magazine Rating: Still pending OWRC on decision.
For decades, Bloodbowl was believed to be a sport within reach of only a hand full of races – Old World ones! But as time went by, travelers arriving from distant and unknown lands, brought word that in those (*) Map of the western coast of Lustria, with some of the biggest Simyin settlements and Bloodbowl stadiums. places, different races also played blood frenzied sports: some with rules so similar to Bloodbowl, that only the keen eye of an expert would tell them apart. In his latest published work, Hüberwulf von Darwin – Altdorf College intrepid explorer, described and drawn the map of one of those places (*). In his words: “At first they’ve taken me by a stupid beast, and caged me, feeding me fruits and cooked meat. I could not understand their language but, soon after we were able to communicate by drawings and some crude expressions. With them I’ve travelled to many isles, where they’ve displayed me to others much like themselves – furry and mostly nudes. By then they must have already recognized my superior intellect, as they always seem very pleased by my scientific reasoning about the edges of the world, or how the sun and the stars all go circle the earth. With those fruits, the feverish cold I had for weeks, got better, but it didn’t seem to be working on them. Hope they’re better by now.“
DID YOU KNOW That one of the first simyin teams ever recorded in the TIBBA (Turtle Isles Blood Bowl Association) never won or lost ‐ in fact never played any game? The Phalaborwa Philosophers team was formed with some of the most brilliant minds amongst the academic Turtle Isles simyin community, and apparently they found much more delight in discussing all the tactic intricacies and strategies of the sport, rather than the stressful physical effort of actually playing it. Although their match record sheet was a very big blank page, they were responsible for many of the most interesting and enlightening tomes about the simyin view on the game, such as “The Art of the Prolate Spheroid”, “The Nicomachean Tactics”, or even “Fouling Metaphysics”, just to name a few.
