The 145 save the day again!
After 250 matches played i feel it's right to say:

Thanks to Throweck, Rbthma, akaRenton, ArrestedDevelopment for helping me and the other guys of the 145 to learn how the game works, the importance of the “don't be a douche” philosophy and for putting us in the right track to enjoy the many possibilities that this community have to offer.

Thanks to the other 145 guys, The_Carthaginian, Gozer_the_Gozerian, NerdFrog, PottockHeat, android18, we had fun so far playing our friendly but competitive games in the Open League, The 145 Cup, The 145 Brawl and the 145 Unlimited Tv (this one is still going on).

I made an account here on fumbbl because i initially got curious about the cynade BB2. My PC wasn't able to run it so i remember i thought “Well, there is also the java version and is free, it's better than nothing i guess”... now i'm really happy that my first contact with Blood Bowl happened here.

I started to play in Ranked with a couple of Orc team, the Kommando of Doom and the Redzkin Boyz and it was coach Beanchilla, during a match vs his Confident, Independent, 'Zons, that told me about the 145, the open league for new players.

So things started to get better with the new 145 Orc team, the Zmiley Killerz (we won da firzt 145 Brawl hur! hur! hur!), i began to spectate a lot of matches and tried new things in Ranked.

I attempted to play in a Royal Rookie Rumble with the Undead team the Spooky Saint but i got beaten up by coach MachJacob and his Gnomeregan Away Team flings. Just recently i started to play again with the Saints in the Box : )

Later i tried to make my way in to the Fumbbl Cup with the DE Knights Of Agony but i lost my first match vs coach doclystria and his Stars and Komets humans. That was really challenging and fun.

Now... i'll stick around on this site for sure, maybe i'll start to play tabletop BB too. I'm quite curious to see how is playing in the Box and hope to join some tournaments soon.

So, thanks you for the matches and see you on the pitch again

good luck

I'm glad you've had a positive experience with 145 and Fumbbl :D

I wish I was in a position to get back into TT (more than 20 years since my last TT match), but it's just not practical to fit it around family life and work.

@Fanky. Happy you like the site, and that you want to stick around. Don't forget to look at the [L]eagues also. They can produce lots of fun, once you find one or more leagues that you like.

@akaRenton. Pish posh with you. It's about priority. I know how you feel as I have to small children and job and stuff. I still manage to go to 2 weekendtournaments a year. If you really want to. You can find a weekend with a tourney around Europe you like. :)

The guys at 145 do amazing work - cheers to them too

@SpecialOne Not on my wage you can't. Technically I would be better off financially if I was unemployed :D

Pleasure!

Reminds me I need to get a new brawl up and running!

Hey paysan,
You are a pleasure to play against and a worthy opponent.

And dont forget the RRR, Throweck! ;)

Cheers for sticking around and being you! A league is nothing without its members :)

Only a Squig is still a thing without its members ;-)

Welcome aboard, Fanky, and prepare for failure!

Pleasure has been all mine Fanky. Have to say that all my 145 matches have been enjoyable due to the great coaches I've met there- quite a few have made it onto my friends list. Kudos to Throweck, akaRenton & ArrestedDevelopment for all the heavy lifting. ^-^
