Great!: I feel very good here, it is one of the main reason why I am registered on FUMMBL. I actively participate in all community activities and find the vast majority of members to be friendly, sociable and inclusive.

The community is too oriented towards those who speak English well, I would like to participate more but the language (and jargon) is a barrier.

The social aspect of FUMBBL is important to me.

I play predominantly (but not exclusively) in Blackbox, in BBT tourneys. I freely admit that it has taken me 3-4 years to adjust to the format.

I used to play quite a lot in face-to-face tourneys, but my lifestyle restricts the amount of travel I am now able to undertake. I used also to play a fair amount in a face-to-face league (including being league organiser), but again my lifestyle (I increasingly split my time between 2 locations) makes this difficult.

I am in New Zealand, and play predominantly in the European evening time zone (NZ early mornings), when FUMBBL and Blackbox are at their busiest (it is typically very difficult to find opponents in NZ evenings) . This suits me, as I can play without distractions, and without interfering with my day.

I have the advantages that I can touch-type (helpful for in-game chat) and that I speak a small number of European languages (French, Italian and German - though I rarely use the latter as the English of the Germans is usually way better than my German!).

I find most often (of course not always) that opponents are very sporting and sociable in chat, which adds an important dimension to the game. It is a game of dice after all, and swings in fortune are common. Being a turn-based game, I find that the opponent's turn is a good time for sociable banter. This also (I find) helps (within reason) to distract and relax the mind so that you are fresh for your own turn. An ability to laugh at events and at yourself is, I think, a nice help - something for which in-game chat is perfectly designed.

Hope that helps.

Not sure. Might try to get a few games in.

How is the icon factory? Is the large icon project still a thing? Is there a thread I should check out?
