Nothing to see here you perverted stalker type, now rack off before I call the police!
Ok, seriously, I first started playing Bloodbowl back in 1986 when I was about 14. I still have my 2nd edition set with the very crap paint jobs I did back then using enamel paints on plastic! I collected a heap of the 2nd edition teams, played a bit with the rules in the yellow Companion and the red Star Players until about first year uni in 1990. Oh the good ol' days when big guys took up 4 squares and Mummies counted as 3 of your 11 players on the pitch!
Then no Bloodbowl until some time after third edition was released, maybe 1998 or around there. I played for a few weeks until my main opponent chucked a sad about the 4 minute a turn rule and refused to play again for several years! He was (and is still) slow though... takes so long to play each turn that the other coach loses cos theiy can't keep concentrating on a game that takes 3 hours!
Then a friend of mine asked me about the game and found the LRB (1.3 back then). I downloaded it and ran a league. I found SkiJunkie's program and played lots of that with a friend, and then finally came to FUMBBL around March or April 2003.
So enough about me, go write your own bio and stop stalking me!

Update November 2004
After a long hiatus, I am back to play the odd game. Fun is the primary aim now.
A different Malthor (I hope) who doesn't care so much about coach rating and win ratio anymore. I want to play for fun and build my teams. If I get too serious when I play you, feel free to remind me that this game is supposed to be fun :).
Sure I want to win with my ranked teams, but mainly for FF and cash heh, but I certainly don't mind losing mega coach points every game if the games are fun and my teams can keep replacing dead players.

What I think about CR
Ok, I used to be a CR whore. I was obsessed with CR for a while and ended helping showing how broken the CR system was. In the end I had a CR of 241 and was about 20 points clear of the next few clowns following me about the time of the reset.
It really was a silly game that often left me frustrated and grumpy. After all, lose one game and you lost 8 or 9 games worth of CR gain heh. Anyways, I welcomed the reset and now care little about my CR. Give me a fun loss with some money and nice skill advances over an unfun win with lots of carnage anyday.

What I thnk about stalling?
Part of the game, though I dont do it much myself except in tourneys. The game is more enjoyable when both players are having fun.
------------
What I think about fouling?
See stalling above! I rarely rarely foul with my elf teams in ranked though.
------------
What I think about cherrypicking.
Part of FUMBBL! It is a game after all and coaches are free to play who, what and how they like (within the rules) and have fun in the way they find it as long as they are not rude or abusive to the other coach.

Some banter:

<Malthor> <Synn> we are talking about asian women
<Malthor> <Synn> you got an opinion on the matter?
<Malthor> <Malthor-afk> Synn, I believe it is a well established fact that Asian women exist. Don't bother me with inane banter.
