Yesterday I had my first real melt down on FUMBBL. I would like to apologize to Arktoris for having to sit through it. I appreciate the understanding he showed when I was discussing it with him in game. So thank you Arktoris for taking it like a champ.

I did learn something about myself yesterday as related to FUMBBL.

Iam one of those coaches because of my work/family time that I on average play 1 or 2 L matches a week and try to get in 2-4 open matches in a week. Some weeks I only play 1 or 2 matches. Yesterday though was unique for me and I had the chance to actually play for 12+ hours. So I decided I would take advanatage of that and played a marathon session. One Box match and 5 Matches with the Buccaneers, Arktoris was the last match of the night.

1) I cannot string that many games together in a row and maintain my mental energy the game requires to play "sound" Blood Bowl.

2) Iam a very even keel coach when it comes to bad luck. Not that I like it but I understand it happens and have accepted it as part of the game. BUT last night because I was playing games in back to back mode. I was still thinking about that blown 3+ with reroll FAIL that cost me the match. That blown dodge into the endzone on a T16 OTS that resulted in a tie instead of win. Last night I was not able to appreciate and focus on the game at hand and spent the first few turns still "stewing" about the last match.

3) I like to think Iam a fun opponeet in the sense that I like to talk and add some fluff to the comentary to the game. Attempt to make it light hearted and a fun match to play. But because of my lack of focus and mental drain that even slipped. I found myself just hitting buttons, no care in the world, hitting every pop up yes with no care about the ramifications of the action and basically shut down in chat. I realized what was happening and tried to give it that good ole try but it was just not in me. That happened around T2 of the second half against Arktoris. I just could not go on and clicked out the match.

So the lesson of the day for me was Iam not the type of coach who can marathon on FUMBBL. I need to play each match like it is the only game I will play that day so I can focus on the match at hand and be social and talk it up and make that one hour with my opponeet and myself a fun event regardless of the scoreboard.
