Amazon Rivers Jaguars Update - 12/24/2016 - I am sorry in advance
Well I finally got my team unfrozen which made me happy and then Returning game. happened now I sort of want to quite this game forever. It was just that bad that it sucked the enjoyment of the game straight out when you get a game that the rolls where fifty-fifty if not good for your side but you still lost so many players you cannot keep up with the opposition and the permanent damage is definitely not a help on this one either. I mean how often can you say that I only played 1 game in a day when I could play more? That is how much this game drained the life out of me for Fumbbl wise. So after the break I was forced to take now I might need to take one before I just literally start hating this game for good for not being able to enjoy myself.
Well now that part is out-of-the-way it is now time to say some good news if you like reading my stuff more than just to insult me anyway:P
There is now a new format that I am starting to work with for all my characters in this team and future made team that i might be doing Fluff for and I would like to know if you guys have any suggestion on what I could add and if something does not seem valuable enough to be even considered in the information of these find characters. So the ones that got the revamp but no change in their background just the revamp itself are: Bremusa "The Berserk", Queen Clete "The Invoked" and the last one was a bit forced on me to do but was gong to receive it eventually Arkantha "The Shaman of the sun".
We also finished the backgrounds of each and every player of the team officially. The new ones are also in the new Format since it was created during the time I was planning the new format so these are truly the first one to get the new format. Those lucky players are : Marpe, Kreousa, Thermodosa and Toxophile
Now that all this is done with the team will still be played even though I said the game made me want to quit did not mean I was going too. Just do not expect me to play another game today for certain I might try tomorrow after spending time with the parents for Christmas just so the game count goes up and to get rid of my next game soon since it will be painful match playing without the two that are going to be missing the next game. But If I do not I feel its important to say Merry Christmas to all of the Fumbbl players.

That's a rough match for sure. Luckily you only lost a couple of players, could've been a lot worse and I'm sure you'll have worse in the future. Fluff looks great, haven't read all of it but no reason you can't develop it as the team goes on, no need to overload now. Don't quit the site (not that you were serious) but also try not to play when you're angry at the game. I tend to make stupid decisions in those situations and things only go worse on the pitch.
Keep plugging towards 1000. Merry Xmas.

If you improve your gameplay and your game awareness then you will squeeze more fun from Blood Bowl.
Watch top coaches' matches of the races you want to play, ask tips and suggestions to them and on the forums.
Whining about dice and game mechanics is ok but don't get carried away too much and try to focus on the things you can change, like positioning and risk assessment.
Don't get emotionally attached to your players too much if you want to have fun, because they tend to die or get crippled quite easily, consider them like tools to achieve the win.
Teams (generally) remain, player come and go.

Very unfortunate that you took some rough casualties in this match. Just remember it's the Jaguars that will live on! Hopefully your next game will be better. Keep watching matches to improve and as Matt said don't get too attached to players. Many players will unfortunately have to die before you make a legend it's just the way the game works.
Merry Christmas to you too. Thanks again for the fluff and good luck.

I mean the dont get attach with your players is pretty much impossible which is why I made a story that keeps "reviving" them lol

It's not impossible, it's just difficult, but Matt is very much correct (especially when you're playing an av7 race) - having a player injury or death prompt an emotional response is only going to make things worse.
One of the things people quickly forget in a perpetual environment (especially one with no unified goal like ranked or box) is that your players *are not* there to "level up", nor are they there to tell a story - they are there to act as tools for you to play matches.
We make fluff, and we empower players, and we introduce our own metas to heighten our enjoyment of the game and strengthen our investment in our teams, players, divisions and blood bowl itself. But all of that is extraneous and material we have introduced, and in the cold, hard, mechanical (and fun!) sound of a "sploosh" it's easier if you remember that :)
