Reverse picking
So I'm sitting on gamefinder and I get asked for an FFB rematch between my darke elves and some flings. About 300 team difference which I guess you always want to uplay flings for the bribes. Also about 30 CR difference. I agree based on wanting to see how much of a difference the inducements can really make (and to see the flings fly on the new client...TOO funny).
For unducements he takes 2 bribes and a master chef.
1 bribe got used and the chef took 2/3 of my rerolls though I got one back on the first kick off for cheering fans. Game results are thus...

After which I'm feeling like a dirty picker...except he asked me for the game.
Should I have taken the game??
Should I have said no to be fair??
Should I get over it, it's Bloodbowl and on teams in beta no less??
If it had been close I probably wouldn't even be pondering this, but as you can see it was a complete blow-out.
Must ponder more.

Meh, I'm one of those who finds CR the last thing to look at when searching for a game, I've played CR 130 guys (like myself) who turned out better than a CR 170 who seems to turn green at the prospect of an even match-up.
And there's nothing wrong with accepting a match someone else offered, as you pointed out, Flings need inducements to work, so there was nothing odd about the match request.

Well, it wasn't exactly a new coach... he knew what he was getting himself in to...

How can you even pick in beta? Doesn't the act require some lasting effect in the first palce?

Get over it, it's only halfings. Halflings die. That's what they do :D

If I'd be looking for the CR in FFB these days, I'd never find a game. It's populated with new coaches and I found enough of them to be very capable without having ever been in Ranked.If he wants it, the game gotta be fine. Flings certainly profit from a high difference, so I wouldn't worry.

Did you know that the guy has 2000+ games on Fumbbl?
If the guy want's play let him play.

still doesn't change the fact that it's cherrypicking...

thanks much for the comments guys...certainly won't worry about it anymore for the beta stuff. And in the future if the offer comes from a noob coach I'll just ask if he's sure first after that all bets are off.

Honestly, if the man wants a match, give it to him. Flings were made for one thing only, dying.
Life cycle is thusly:
1) Fling is born
2) Fling is thrown by animated tree
3) Fling dies
THE END
