Dastardly Khemri
Two seconds after my woodies enter game finder the other night, sure enough, a Khemri team is asking for a game. There's a surprise right!
The coach tells me that no one ever wants to play the team etc, like most Khemri teams. Oh well, what the hell I think, I'll play Khemri for the 2nd time in the teams short history. .....(my other post is a result of that other game! Where we were down to two players, but scored!) I have 13 players and a slight TS advantage. They only have 5 Mightly blow players, 2 Dirty players and a couple of Frenzy I'm up for a challenge on occasions!
So we play this game:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=2632399
We win fairly comfortably, take that you dastardly Khemri!
However, it becomes obvious the longer the game goes on why Khemri teams like this no one wants to play. Pretty soon we have few players on the pitch, and the game result is over. But still we are gang fouled on turn 13, 14, 15 and .... 16. Yep, despite the game being decided, having inflicted the two cas for the ff roll, we are fouled all the time, with what purpose, to extract revenge for being beaten?
It's little surprise that the team doesn't get too many games with an attitude such as this. Perhaps if Khemri teams focused on winning, and not destroying teams when the game result was decided, they would get more games! I for one won't be voluntarily playing this team again. I may still play some Khemri teams, but I will be checking their fouling history first!
Food for thought ....
Perhaps I'll have to try out a nice version of a Khemri team and see how they go getting games and winning.

only 11 fouls? weak!

Don't use fouls per game, that's not always an accurate indication. Some races are better suited to heavy fouling than others. The majority of coaches foul to win and/or protect their team.
I always find a good indication is the races played against, for instance 6 vs Chaos Dwarf, 7 vs Dwarf, 13 vs Orc and only 4 vs Khemri.
Other bad indicators are if you mostly play bashy teams and have played more vs Pro elves than Dwarfs and more vs Skaven than Orcs

It never ceases to amuse me that coaches are suprised by Khemri tactics. You took the game, deal with it.
As a Khemri lover winning is my 1st priority. If the game is lost, I'm going to do all I can to make your victory cost you in blood.
You play a low AV/high AG team + cry when you take a foul or 2. Get a grip. Or just elfball.....

I think that was a classical psychological test, where one person could inflict pain/damage on another person for no loss or gain at all.
When given the information that the person that they could give electroshocks to, the portion of people shocking away increased.
It`s the same with those Khemri coaches. They envy the winner and shock away.. it probably has to do with the size of their members ;)

I'll play people until the first time they do this. Then they end up on my blacklist. I don't cry about it in game, it was a risk going in. That said, I'll post in my game report about spiteful end-game fouling, and not play that player again.
Why would I continue to take games against someone when all they care about it destroying my teams. There are plenty of coaches out there to play, and most of them are classy about losing. I play to win, and when that's no longer possible, I just want to end the game and move on. I don't get off on pissing off other coaches, and I don't care to play the coaches that do.

I'm kind of with you on the constant fouling. Play a bashy team and expect to get hit battered and bruised. It's the nature of the beast. You also need to expect a few tactical fouls against your better players. you are playing wuss elfs after all.
Looking to end the useful life of your team is a little over the top though.

You eliminate players/a team that have cost your opponent time to build up and develop. You opponent has created a team and you damage it.
It`s like scratching someone`s car with keys.
