MGITEAU12 !!!!!!
Coach name: MGiteau12
Location: Wolverhampton, UK
Current team: Dead Metal
Seasons with the MML: 1 (Fresh Princes), 2 (Roquefort Ramblers), 3 & 7 (Royal Rat Authority), 8 & 9 (Dead Metal)
Favourite bloodbowl team: Princes of Arioch
Favourite other sports teams and which sport: Leinster Rugby Club, Hurricanes, All Blacks (All Rugby Union)
Favourite bloodbowl race: Skaven, for the sheer mixture of speed, power, risk and fragility. My first true love in bloodbowl, the race that really started it all after a brief and misguided fling with Dwarves!
Favourite bloodbowl moment: On a personal level, my CL QF match with VpowerV last season – 2 1/2 hours of two evenly matched coaches going head to head, no quarter asked or given, no crazy dice. Easily the most intense and rewarding game I’ve played. As a spectator, Princes taking the s6 title was just rewards for Sacer and a great team.
Worst bloodbowl moment: Too many to list! Probably my game on the Ramblers vs the undefeated Frozen Thrones of JokertheFourth – Going into the game, I really felt I could upset the odds nd get the win needed for a playoff spot. Pitch invasion turn 1 wipes my team out, leaves his untouched, followed by 16 turns of getting marmalised by Dwarves. Good times!
Funniest bloodbowl moment: For me, it’s a game of highs and lows, but generally not humourous – I tend to find extreme bouts of misfortune suffered by Leathyndra the funniest, much like I’m sure he does with me!
Describe yourself in three words: Play to win
Favourite toy as a child: Lego, Chess set (though not really a toy)
Favourite cartoon as a child: My parents didn’t really let me watch them – I loved the Crystal Maze as a kid. As an adult, love Yu-Gi-Oh, because Kaiba!
Favourite band or musician: This changes all the time, but I’d say Radiohead, Metallica & Pendulum occupy these spots
Favourite food: Lasagne
Favourite drink: Orange Tango, got a crippling addiction to the stuff
Favourite film: Heat – The ultimate head to head between 2 guys who are masters of their chosen profession, and 2 actos right at the top of their game.
Favourite book: The Happiness Hypothesis – Jonathan Haidt
Favourite animal: The Hyena
Favourite place you’ve visited: Innsbruck, Austria
Place you’d like to visit: Dallas, Texas
Tell us something about yourself we don’t already know: I value the contest more than the win, no matter what I’m doing. Fight hard, fight fair.
Any special skills/talents? I am / was a formidable chess player, I have a useful, but sometimes crippling ability to recall information (learning to play chess young honed that talent, 100%)
In a movie of your life who’d play you: Edward Norton, for the disaffected world weariness
What’s on your bucket list: Find some true meaning in this madness!
Thanks again guys n gals!! Keep the votes coming in!!
