I retired a team today...
...and it was a relief, a proverbial weight off the shoulders.
I'm impulsive and idiotic at the best of times. I got so into this ELF season that I played my team into the ground (literally, attrition retired it aided by reckless and moronic play). It looks like sorat will win it unless somebody else has a late run - well done sorat! Hey, given what happened when we played, you deserve it!
Still, it's time to put the kind of energy I put into that ELF nonsense (no, ELF is not nonsense, I mean: playing relentlessly and attempting to score big every game whilst reaping the damage that sows - a hiding to nothing) into something else.
That means work and exercise. For a while I wanted to try my hand at boxing. I did a bit of white collar boxing until I hurt my back last summer and it took nearly 4 months to get better, but by then I'd hurt my shoulder which is also now finally totally healed. So, its back to the boxing gym and back to the much more leisurely and fun league + tournament play here. A few games a week is really fun stuff.
Tomorrow morning I'll wake up, grab my eldest son and go running with him. It'll make a fresh change. Then install a pull up bar, that I bought years ago and never fitted, and do some of that. Maybe make some space for some sit ups and press ups (my house is not spacious).
I will also try some MMA (this place looks cool) - the UFC is quite a spectacle albeit it needs studying if you ever want to do it seriously. I mean, there's 1000s of variations on the submissions and positions etc. Boxing is far simpler. Even Muay Thai, something I did for 7 years, is much more straight forward.
Twice in 2 days I misclicked blitz when trying to move. I think that's a sign I was playing too much. I'd draw some stupid analogy with alcohol but it'd be just that. I was just playing to the point that I was clicking through it so quickly and I wasn't really focusing on what I was doing.
I don't think I'll ever do an ELF season or a Blackbox Sprint or anything like that again because I lack the discipline to hold back. So it's back to what I really enjoy, even more than FUMBBL, and that is getting punched in the face. ;)
Emo much?

One of those images made me cry with laughter.

You can't make statements like those without deleting all of your teams.

So Chainsaw, when you say sorat deserves it, while at the same time linking to the match report where you bitterly complain about such a terrible dicing, what you are really saying is he doesn't deserve it at all and the one who deserved it was, in fact, *you*? Even when you are trying to be gracious (if you were trying) the only thing that comes out is another whine? However you still manage to boast about how you own a big house although it's completely irrelevant to the rest you are saying?

P.S.: What's really funny about this is that the E.L.F. scoring script doesn't score retired teams so no second place for you. :D

ELF season will end the 30th of april. Stop crying like a little snotling mom and make a new team ASAP.
This game is frustrating, we all know this. That's why we love it.

he actually says his house is NOT big.

Oh, lol, that was Freudian. Consider that point withdrawn. ;)

What a bounty?

> you say sorat deserves it
He deserves it. ELF requires many good wins against a variety of opponents. He didn't play badly vs me either, I just had my own issues attempting my strategy.

you retired a team? So. Teams should be retired at random moments no matter where in their build they are. It's should be based on dice like all the other parts of Fumbbl. add 700 to the total of your retired teams then you will understand. Just like me =)
