I started playing Blood Bowl in the mid-90's. Mainly with Dwarf and Chaos Dwarf teams.
I played actively for a year or two and after that I didn't even look at the game...until now (2004).
Me and a few of my friends started playing again in 2004 and one of them found this FUMBBL site...well, the rest is history.
Playstyle:
- I play against any race as long as the CR and TR are reasonable = I'm not looking for certain mayhem/defeat and I'm not into cherry picking. I also like playing stunty.
- I'm not a cruel coach (depends on the point of view) and I'm not on a mission to destroy teams whether they're mine or someone elses.
- I do foul, but I haven't developed my playstyle on it. I foul when the current situation CALLS for it (AG5 runners and big guys for example :) I like to make things difficult in other means, not by fouling everyone out. I understand those whose playstyle is towards fouling and this game needs the extreme styles too, but I'm not going to give my teams to be booted to death. I've got a choice?
- Coaches who foul in the last turn, knowing that it won't do anything more than hurt my team find themselves in my blacklist. Fouling a TRULY POTENTIAL last turn scorer is understandable.
- I do not cry about getting my team out-scored and/or bashed into the dugout and I expect the same from my opponent. There's a clear difference between the casual bashing and plain seek & destroy mentality and I choose not to like the latter. Opponent scoring heaps of TDs means that I'm being out-lucked...otherwise I would've got your ST5/blodge/sidestep runner with that -2d ;)
- I stall rarely. I don't mind if my opponent stalls, but I MIGHT change my playstyle towards something more aggressive :) And that is if I still have any players to play with.
- <b>I DO NOT DISCONNECT FROM THE GAME BY CHOICE!</b> If there is a situation where I can't take the beating, I concede (and that's rare). It's not particularly enjoyable to receive chat messages like "I took a screenshot from the game, so that you know" immediately when the connection is ok. I'm not here to make an ass of myself, I'm here to play ball!
Notes to self:

- Reload with .inc.
- Sync.
- End the turn.
- Reload again with .dat.
- Problem solved (You just can't move the ball carrier before you reload with .dat).
