In my brief time here I've seen some of the topics that divide the community. As with any community there are different opinions on almost all topics. Almost all.

The one thing that everyone seems to agree on is that There Is No Whining In Blood Bowl! Which is incorrect because there is whining in Blood Bowl and of course there's whining about the whining. Everyone seems to think that in general though whining is a no-no.

This is upsetting to me for one very good reason. I am very very good at whining.

I've been doing it all my life and I've become quite the expert. As a youngest child I got an early start. According to my brothers my first words were “Moooooooom, make them stop!”

Banning whining is basically taking the best weapon out of my arsenal. Is it so wrong? Isn't it as much a tactic as taunting? As stalling? As stalling while taunting and fouling? It is allowed by the client so it can't be but so bad, right? Is there anything in the rules saying No Whining? (I just checked and the answer is 'no')

I hear you saying “Go ahead and whine! I will laugh and foul even harder!” To which I say “I win!” I've just made you react. I've gotten inside your head (and you really need to clean up in there). I'm the one playing the tune now. The whiny whiny tune.

So I say Up With Whining! Listen to your inner child! I think you'll find he's a whiny little brat.


* For those in the UK please replace whining with whinging.
