FUMBBL Birthday is the 3rd of January.

Article: "Ball Security"

Left Coast US. (UTC -7, as of March 8)

Used to play tabletop many (many!) years ago, found FUMBBL for a while (during LRB 4), left, and am now more recently returned here after some (fewer) years. My games tend to move slower than most - let me know before the game if you're in a hurry!


Can (usually) start games between 2100 - 0600 UTC (1 PM - 10:00 PM Pacific), and sometimes a bit earlier/later depending on my schedule. Also many Saturdays and Sundays will be out, tbd.

For League Games, I don't usually hang out waiting for a PM saying "I can play now" - I schedule my League games, preferably at least 48 hrs in advance, so there (probably) won't be any interruptions. If you think I'm online, I may be doing paid work on my computer, and/or I may not have time to "play now" - so schedule via PM (then confirm time via the Scheduler), in advance, please.

When I schedule, I use UTC (aka GMT), or North American Timezones - UTC doesn't change with the seasons, and, sorry, I decline to keep track of what time it is in Lichtenstein and Beijing and Sydney and Sao Paolo and every other location in the world - or even just one proprietary server in Belgium - and whether they are on Daylight Time or not (including Western Europe*). If I know what time it is where I live, and what my current local UTC offset is - and you know that for your location - that's all we need.

1. (* And, no, Daylight Savings for Western Europe does not change the same as in North America! UTC doesn't change.)

If you can't do timzone math, use this and/or this timezone map.

Me...

Was solidly a "Veteran" when I returned to FUMBBL at the end of Nov, '12, so... for whatever that's worth.

I prefer to chat during games about tactics and choices, and hear opponent's observations about what mistakes I'm making, but that's not necessary.

~Doomsday Warning~
Don't like foulers who foul for no purpose except to hear the squish. You don't get SPP's for those injures (or for causing crowd-surfs!), so if the game is over (one way or the other), a late foul is just poor sportsmanship and assholio-ism unless we're in a league and it actually means something down the road. So don't just to say you did it.

1. Strangelove:
   "Yes, but the... whole point of the doomsday machine... is lost... if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh?"
   
   DeSadeski:
   "It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises."

And taken to the extreme, foul-spamming is just a weak excuse for not coaching. If you want to just roll dice and see who wins, go play craps.

On the lighter side, there's nothing like a well-planned and organized gang-foul.
