FUMBBL debut: beginner's luck, or something more sinister?
After growing slowly more disillusioned with the Cyanide game, I recently dug out my unused FUMBBL account and decided to give it a go. A chaos pact team was my first choice, since I loved the Chaos All-Stars in 2nd edition, and I was gutted to here that the upcoming Chaos Edition from Cyanide would not contain them. After an aborted attempt to play against chaos dwarfs I was offered a match against Rodders and his halfling team.

I've played several games against halflings with a chaos team before and quite struggled... so I wasn't quite sure how the pact would do. Luckily, things were working well for me and I think any time I hit a ball-carrying halfling I rolled a POW. Add in a treeman which was pretty much rooted for the whole game, and things really did work out well. Was this just one of those games where things went right? Or was it the FUMBBL client seeing my first game, and trying to lure me in, with extravagant dice rolls that will inevitably dry up as I play more??

I can't be certain... but either way, I'm looking forward to getting an hour free in the next few evenings to play my second game, and spamming my account with teams in the meantime.

Rated 6 because the FFB client made me do it.

It's definitely nuffle trying to lull you into a false sense of confidence so he can kick you in the ballz!

It wasn't the FFB client, it was Rodders. He is luring you in by letting you beat up a halfling team.

welcome

nuffle is evil, untrustworthy, yet we worship her... what other choice do we have?

Welcome!... I will tell you it's not always the case. I played someone in his first game on FUMBBL the other night (rookie Pro Elves vs rookie Pro Elves in the box). My first block on him... POW... sploosh! Welcome to FUMBBL!! :D

Pro elves on both sides were failing armour left and right... and the game was in the rain, so they weren't even able to balance the injuries with great ball handling. I told my opponent he was getting poor dice rolls... and that later on, it would likely be even worse :)

He had fun though... and he'll be back (though not with Pro Elves ;)

Keep having fun - that's key. Find fun when you win (easy) Find fun when you lose (challenging)

Welcome to FUMBBL :)
Cyanide's game has once again proved its worth as a recruiting device for our site :P
