* Cards available for inducement (currently Magic Items only)
* Animations for kickoff results.
* Replayer with sounds and animations (in single speed mode)
* Support for Stunty (Penalty Rolls for Secret Weapons, definable in the Roster)
* Support for BB7 (Game Options for number and position of players on the field)
* Improved test mode with many chatcommands for testing (use this by putting "test:" in front of your game name)
* Proper support for special game situations such as Kickoff with no players on the field, Touchback without valid targets or Concessions with less than 3 players to field.
Options:
FFB behaviour can be modified through Game Options. These are choosable by the league commissioner and are displayed upon starting the client (Game Option menu).

Claw does not stack with other skills that modify armour rolls.
foulBonus (default: off)
+1 to armour roll for a foul.
foulBonusOutsideTacklezone (default: off)
+1 to armour roll for a foul, if fouler is not in an opposing tacklezone.
freeCardCash (default: 0)
Free gold specifically for card buying (so both sides may always start with cards).
freeInducementCash (default: 0)
Both coaches get X extra gold to buy inducements with.
maxNrOfCards (default: 0)
Determines if and how many cards may be bought for inducement money
maxPlayersInWideZone (default: 2)

maxPlayersOnField (default: 11)
A maximum of X players may be set up on the field.
minPlayersOnLos (default: 3)
A minimum of X players must be set up on the line of scrimmage.
pilingOnDoesNotStack (default: off)
Piling On does not stack with other skills that modify armour- or injury-rolls.

Piling On lets you re-roll injury-rolls only.
pilingOnArmorOnly (default: off)
Piling On lets you re-roll armour-rolls only.
pilingOnToKoOnDouble (default: off)
Piling On player knocks himself out when rolling a double on armour or injury.
rightStuffCancelsTackle (default: off)
Right Stuff prevents Tackle from negating Dodge for Pow/Pushback.
sneakyGitAsFoulGuard (default: off)
Sneaky Git works like Guard for fouling assists
sneakyGitBanToKo (default: off)
Sneaky Git players that get banned are sent to the KO box instead.
standFirmNoDropOnFailedDodge (default: off)
Stand Firm players do not drop on a failed dodge roll but end their move instead.
spikedBall (default: off)
A Spiked Ball is used for play. Any failed Pickup or Catch roll results in the player being stabbed.
Limitiations and Rule Interpretations:
Technical considerations, playability issues (the dreaded "popup-hell") and vagueness on part of the ruleset forces some choices on implementation.
* Stunned players do not revert back to Prone upon hitting them again.
* Dump-Offs cannot be Pass-Blocked.
* Wizard or Cards cannot be used at turnover IF the turn ended due to a touchdown, the end of a half or a timeout.
* Diving Tackle is not useable by the thrower of a pass (that is during Pass Block).
* Re-Throwing bombs is not an Action (and therefor does not trigger any skills).
* You cannot re-roll Pro-Rolls (this is due to the way Re-Rolls are currently implemented in FFB).
* Not all skills are optional as per the rules:
Compromises have been made to avoid "popup-hell" (as stated above). Most of these have been discussed to the death. Choices were necessary.
Tackle is always on. Same as Block.
Dodge is optional only if
1) The push is chainpush and the three opposite squares are occupied
2) It is the first turn after kickoff and a defending player has the potential to be pushed over the los int o the attackers half
3) The defending player is standing one square from the sideline and the opponent is pushing from the same row or from the row more infield. |

Release Notes Version 1.0.3
This is a bugfix release, so no new features. The main change behind the scenes is an improved persistency layer to hopefully avoid a large number of errors the previous versions showed on dropping and rejoining a game.
Please note, that Release Notes for versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 are missing, because those were mainly quick patches to get rid of latency problems (and things were kind of hectic at the time). All relevant bugfixes since version 1.0.0 are listed below.

Release Notes Version 1.0.5
This is a bugfix release, so no new features. This release focused on adressing some game freezing bugs (that admins will have to cancel) and a memory leak in the context of replays (causing the server to slow down and eventually die).
In Game Replay has been deactived for this release. There are some problems with this feature that need further investigation (and a bit more time).
Please take some time and re-test any bugs you reported that are marked as resolved. If everything works fine, please close the bug. Otherwise re-open and I will have another look at it. Thanks for your help!
9 Bugfixes:
#1320 BLOODLUST: Failed BL, no SPP from a Pass Action
#1321 INDUCEMENTS: Transferred money not added to TV
#1334 BLOODLUST: and Hypno Gaze
#1385 CARDS: Lucky Charm Bugged
#1392 CARDS: Magic Codpiece didnt take effect properly
#1393 CARDS: Magic Codpiece not working against Piling On
#1396 BLOODLUST: fail doesn't allow blitzing adjacent
#1413 BLOODLUST: failed BL/hypno, feed ended my turn
#1417 Stab v Stunty |

Release Notes Version 1.2.6
There are a couple of release notes missing up to this version. And the release has had a somewhat difficult start (replay and upload problems). But after some quick fixes (same version number) things are pretty stable now. I'll try to do better and write proper release notes for the upcoming versions.
Improvements:
* Timmm-ber! skill (BB2016) implemented (although not available yet on Fumbbl)
* Argue the Call (BB2016) implemented and active
* older replays now stored in Amazon S3 cloud service
Bugfixes:
* Stand Up Dice Roll for a tree showing 0
* Sneaky Git not working with Argue the Call
* succesful Argue the Call keeping the player on the field instead of sending him to the Reserve Box
* old Sidestep & Shadowing bug should be gone
EDIT: The Argue the Call feature apparently needs more thorough testing and is currently deactivated by the site. |

- Games are marked as such in the database when they have been conceded or ended by the Admins
