Learning Curve
There really is no forgiveness for being new here is there.

I have played a few games and most people were nice and offered encouragement and most of all didn't rub it in my face when I made a mistake or eventually lost the match.

Some people have forgotten what it is like to be new to the game.

And in case you get all antsy warmaster this isn’t directed at you personally as an attack. It is more in response to the comments your buddies left on my blog.

There is no forgiveness, there is no respite, there is only WAR!

Check out the 145 Club, it has lots of tournaments and leagues meant for people new to fumbbl. Have fun! :)

Lol. Hey I don't want people to get the impession I am a bad sport. I know I deserved to lose that match, I went into it expecting to lose.

It was just the "Thanks for the easy win" messag at the end seemed a little out of order.

yes, that seems like a lame cheapshot.

I am not looking to make enemies, I am not even looking for people to take my side. I just posted my opinion.

Well,when you wave your balls over a fence, someone will want to hit them with a hammer.

Posting personal opinions is dangerous. It gives people the right to reply with there own.

As Ravenmore said, 145 club is a good place if you find jumping in to fight the black belts a tough start.

Opinions here will always be jumped on from a great height, especially BB based ones. More so when a line like 'tactical cheating' is used. Post something like that and stand back and watch it explode! My only real advice would be to play your own game, certainly get involved with the 145 club (they are great) and try to enjoy it when nuffle kicks you in the nuts.

I really want to know more about tactical chanting :/
Posted by Timlagor on 2010-01-19 18:56:31
Most people are pretty nice ...but it's the one or two snarky ones you'll notice ;)
Posted by Timlagor on 2010-01-19 18:57:24
I'll look forward to your Blog entry on it Jaim!
..perhaps it should be in the forum though.

Do you use tactical chanting:
yes
no

I have no buddies... :(
I did make the comment at the end tho after you complained about everything under the sun and said said the same things you have said in your blog.
I'm not fussed and i don't see this as a personal attack. I guess maybe you need to read my profile to understand why i have little sympathy. I'm fairly new here too but i am a loooooong term player of BB and so i took the time to practice with the client before i played. I read a lot of the forums and other aids to learn about the community and how things worked. But i have found i have played quite a few new players to FUMBBL and BB in general and getting the same attitude of 'i'm new so i deserve different rules'.
I tried to help you in our game by suggesting reducing the 1 dice blocks and you told me to relax as you have played before... sorry but i'm not your teacher. I tried to help reduce the pain but you refused it then sooked then posted 2 blogs complaining... seems you got what you deserved.But like i said in the pm i sent you. Learn from what other coaches have said (i am too) takesome time away then come back and if you want a rematch let me know. I hold no grudges, just a street map, photo of you and a sock...
