Favorite Race vs Your own mentallity
I have come more and more with the terms that I rather play a team that is caotic and against the typical (and rational) BB teams out there, like goblins and the slanns f.ex.
For years I have tried all of the teams out there and I really wanted to have the patiens to play dwarfs, or the simplicity to use orcs, or the versallity to use humans or the tactical abillity to play dark elfs, but I just cant keep it together in the long run.
I allways fall back on my trusty goblins. I dont win as much as with other teams but I have really fun cause they suit me really good. But since a few weeks back I have found a new favorite team that seams to suit me really good. The slanns! They are akward, have no bash or flair skills but they are really ....hmm..... me!
I havent been in many fights, just a couple. I have played some sports like football, basketball and icehockey but I have had the same role in every aspect. Even in conversations and I tend to be the guy who "reply"!
What do I mean?
Like slanns, they are very aggressiv in defense. In fights/sports I Always wait for the attacker and try to capitalize on the opponents moves and mistaces (yes I played mostley defense in sports) and in conversations I tend to spinn on others ideas or jokes. I even like to let my opponent recive first when I play BB.
How about the rest of u? Have you noticed why you actually play the teams you do? is it becasue everyone else says it is the best team or is it because it fits your style..... Your mentality?

Hmm, dark elf and lizard coach. Guess that makes me a power gamer but not the bash kind. ;)

I mostly play zombies, and in an uncanny parallel I often enjoy eating the brains of my victims in real life.

I had this thought too, and agree with you.
I'm a shy, coward person who avoids confrontation, and my favorite rosters are elves :)

I default to a tie-up, hit-and-run, aggressive-defence kind of style, which leads to heavy casualties on my Elf teams, but works with Necro really well. Recently finding Slann fun as well with the DT and PT. You'd think it would work with Strength teams but Orcs put me to sleep and I can't win with Chaos to save my life. I will never play cpomb for philosophical reasons so this probably puts the M teams beyond my grasp.

I play mostly flings, what does that mean?

I guess it's a question of mentality, for me it's more a question of mood, then I feel more like playing heavy bash or playing elfy silliness.
However, it would be fun to see some sort of blood bowl horoscope kind of thing breaking people down into different races depending on their birthday and then making up really annoying characteristics for them to be stuck with.
Like if you split all 4 elf teams into February and March since everyone I have ever known who has a Feb or Mar birthday has been a whiny premadonna who only cares about appearance and keeping their knickers clearn.

A general outline would be easy, since the fantasy universe is based on old archetypes. By their names alone, Necromantic could befit Scorpios.
For more specialized advice, birthday ain't enough, however. One might need to look at temperaments:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_temperaments
and for temperaments, the Moon, the Ascendant, would matter too.
I could do that kind of stuff for donations to the site.

Good blog. I have gravitated towards playing the underdogs. It's sweeter when you win, you get more games in R, it's fun, it's a challenge. I like to play all races though so as not to get bored, since I play a lot. Also having projects to do something a bit different is very rewarding, like building crazy big guys or trying alternative builds.

I always had a thing for bombs, chainsaws and ball and chains when I was young...

When I played football I was like a pile on Blitz Ra. Couldn't do much with the ball but still wanted to play a good role for my team!

Thanks for the response everyone, and I Think it would be interresting to see if "four temperaments" would have an effect on what race we play, but I dont Think that the horoscope is accurate enough, well, since I belive it is mostley crap lol.
Well, I guess that we will never get an answer to this question cause if we would make an (succesful) test to narrow down peoples temperaments and then link it to their favorite race, I guess most people would Think it was to much hassle to take part of, and in the end there would be too few testobjects to make something solid.
But I Think it can be discussed anyway and it has been fun to read your answers, even if some of them where written by goblins ;)

I'm always trying to keep everything under control, in the right place, and avoid screwing up.

Flings! (or Pro Flings in Stunty). I'm hopeless and really like my food!
