Well, 15 games into my FUMBBL career, im pretty happy right now. My ranked orc team is doing well and the 2 teams that came before it have helped to settle a few ideas into place. My orcs with their av of 9 have kept me pretty satisfied with my casualty taken rate.

My brother is playing the cyanide game at the minute and whilst it is pretty good overall I shant be buying it cause I think cyanide have made half a product and are charging you for it, telling you more races will be added with an expansion which will cost you more again. Ive persuaded him to come back to fumbbl (he played here years (?) ago) and weve been playing our own 32 team fixed league for the purpose of generating star players for the fun of it.

Ive played some very good games here already, some nice people, some horrible games and horrible people. I didnt like the undead guy who kept fouling cause he "needed a dark elf zombie", so i've started vetting my opponents. I am a little bit sorry to a certain dwarf team I played, he started fouling me, I fouled him in a 2 1 win for me to bring my deaths up to 2 against him. I will generally avoid a fouling opponent.

I think ill need to make some "skill" teams since I have been playing with my orcs a lot, and some people dont like to play orcs. I just hate the sound of a casualty in javaBB. Makes me cringe.

Some advice: Don't take fouling personally, they didn't just slap your granny or anything. Players die for our entertainment. :)

Lol, that is clearly the FUMBBL spirit, I know. Itll take me while to adjust, in the meantime I shall love my players until they gain minus stats. I try not to take fouling seriously but the way im playing ta the minute I will take it personally at the minute, but I will not abuse nayone for doing it to me. Plus if I say I wont, I'll be lieing. Bring on the star player points!

I think it`s a natural reaction to avoid fouling and things that makes your players go squish. Not long ago, I struggled against mass DP strategies myself and tried to avoid them, but since I tried them out with an undead SMACK team and saw in which situations they were lacking, I got a more level view on fouling. So let him start down that road.. I`m sure he`ll develop just fine ;)

Considering you play orcs, i really cant see how you can object to fouling :P

Orcs by nature are dirty players!

Furthermore, most teams, if not all, will have a hard time gaining the upper hand in casulties against orcs, so naturally they have to foul. ;o)

Doesnt always win you games though. :)

Purplegoo: Stop equating being a 'fair' player to having anything to do with fouling. This isn't real life, it's not a sport you play, it's a board game which features six options that your player can choose from in a turn in order to forward your chances of winning. If you ignore one of those six, you're not being pure of heart, you're simply running the hundred meters with your shoelaces tied together.

The splatter noise is truly excellent and exciting to hear if you are spectating a game.
