- 2007: The aging Mutineers squad begins to struggle and for the first time is unable to secure the Conference title despite dropping just one loss all season. The team scrapes into the post-season with the last wildcard slot but while there manages to advance to the semi-finals before being beaten in overtime by eventual champions PAIN Corp.
- 2006: A decent season for the franchise sees them walk the ADA East Conference yet again, setting new records on defence en route. For the first time, the Mutineers go through the season unbeaten and a better showing in the post-season sees them knock out Revengers' Tragedy and PAIN Corp before losing narrowly in a high scoring final to the No Talent All-Stars.
- 2005: A relatively tough year for the defending champions sees them narrowly take the Eastern Conference title for the third straight year. In the post-season, a walkover against the Wildmen preceeds an extremely close overtime loss to the eventual champion Revengers' Tragedy. Team accolades again accrue but some pundits question how much longer the Mutineers veterans can go.
- 2004: The 2004 season is a very successful one for the Mutineers. A strong regular season and another Eastern Conference title is capped by post-season wins in the semi finals against 2003 nemisis the KoPite MuGaz and in the final against the Junior Wildmen. Team accolades again roll in though no players are recognised perhaps reflecting the team's collective being greater than its individual parts.
- 2003: The inaugural AD BBL season is a reasonably successful one for the Mutineers. Only defeated twice all season, they easily take the Eastern Conference title and bring in a host of team awards. One of the defeats comes in the final where a loss to surprise package the KoPite MuGaz denies the Mutineers ultimate glory.
- 2002: The Tempo Ray Mutineers are the first team inducted into the AD Blood Bowl League with MadLordAnarchy named as Head Coach. Having had moderate but not overwhelming success through the 1990s, their prime position in the premier modern era league puzzles some but reports that the Mutineers management are somehow involved in the League's ownership cartel are rejected.
- 1990: The Tempo Ray Mutineers are formed when a passing liner is captured by pirates. The team's reputation spreads throughout the region over the decade. Coincidentally, piracy on the high seas begins to focus on kidnap.
- 1980: Massive growth in the off-shore banking industry sees vast sums of wealth flow into Mutiny Island. With protection offered by the resident pirates, brigands and smugglers, wealthy individuals from around the world begin to take up official residence on the island. They bring a love of bloodsport and modern business practices which combine to create a burgeoning island Blood Bowl league.
- 1960: Mutiny Island's infamy grows thanks to increasing trade links with the outside world. Gambling and piracy are the main economic activities and both lend themselves well to the growing popularity of Blood Bowl which is brought to the island by Mad Jocks in search of gold.
- 1890: An island far from the Old World is investigated by authorities looking into reports of piracy, illegal sports and debauchery. The investigators find nothing untoward but return with enough wealth to last several lifetimes. No link can be proven between the island and the mutiny a century earlier but the popular press names it Mutiny Island anway.
- 1790: Word of a mutiny reaches the Old World. Rumour has it that the crew of the Jaunty rebel after a series of generous and thoughtful commands issued by skipper Captain Why. Reports from other ships in the area indicate the Jaunty was wrecked on an obscure island after the crew had set about hunting a fabulous giant manta ray.
