Setting the wrong tone.
I think I have set the wrong tone for myself as a player here. I am sorry about that. I won't delete the post as I feel that is the cowards way out. It was said, can't change that.
I can admit when I am wrong and I was wrong about my first posting.

Fair play dude. I'm not a fan of deleting comments I regret making, so props.
I think you may have misread the tone a little on the earlier comments. Certainly mine were only intended as some friendly advice that it took me *several* games on Fumbbl to learn.
Hope you enjoy your time on the site, we're not a terrible lot (except Russo, who has the cooties)

FUMBBL is pretty forgiving of new players who are either just learning the game or who are going through the transition from tabletop to online play.
It's a lot less for giving of whining in any form, either from new players or veterans.
Ask for help or advice and you'll get it, start taking shots at stuff and you'll get the same in return.
A post titled: "Help, I'm getting stalled on, how do I stop this?" would have gotten better responses.

Sweet, I think I've just groomed someone on t'internet!

Yeah Maysrill is right. Moaning will just annoy other people here. See Lawmans Cherrypicker blog somewhere below. However if you need help just ask and many people (me included) will be willing to help or offer advice.

Welcome to Fumbbl!
This is the best place to play blood bowl.
My only advice would be to avoid ranked play.
It is a big joke.
Play Academy till you are comfortable then play blackbox.
Most of the matches are fair, and no cherrypicking.
I look forward to a game soon.
Don't give up. In time, you'll win a lot of games!

Dammit Juff I've got Russo up next! I'd better get into my onesie human condom...

Ranked is far from a joke. It's got more dirty tricks that can be pulled. Such as sneak hiring and cherry picking. Blackbox players don't have the guts to face it :D

Blackboxxxxxx! (Rated more than the 1st blog!)

As Juff said, I don't think the initial response was as negative as you may have thought.
And there was some good advice there, too.
I don't enjoy stalling or being stalled on, but recognizing early in your FUMBBL career that it's a valid, effective, and often necessary tactic will help you; learning what to do about it will save you a lot of frustration down the road.

Welcome to Fumbbl. All divisions have their charm, don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. Enjoy!

Along with the Academy, check out the BB7 leagues. You play with fewer players on field and usually no rerolls to start with. I think it is really helped my game. It's a friendly lot too.

Welcome to FUMBBL! Don't let people ruin your experience, there's always fun people to play. You did nothing wrong and there's no need for apologies.
Btw, you can kiss your old life goodbye! :-)

no need to be overanxious about your tone.
if someone is bullying you hit back and if you get tired let go and play some.
preferably: blackbox - we need every sane coach we can get :P
(beware of stalling, fouling and every other legal tactic, though ;-)

Props to you. Takes guts to admit it. I wouldn't as im a shrivelled little man keen to hold on to the frayed shreds of my masculinity for as long as i can... thats why i stall :D
Nah seriously i think i have 2 coaches on here who think i'm a complete ^#%@ as i played one night with a killer headache and acted like a complete buffoon in my games, swore and acted like a child. I have tried to stop that and actually had (until our game) about 5 or 6 really enjoyable games of fun and jokes. Takes a lot to admit things to yourself but more to admit to mostly strangers.
Anytime for the rematch ladder.
