What follows is the chatlog in the game I was blacklisted for the (to my knowledge) first time.
The name of the coach has been changed .


<orko_oskar> hi there
<Blacklister> howdy! good luck, and enjoy!
<orko_oskar> have fun and gl
<Blacklister> ooooh.l
<Blacklister> erm...can I ask a bit of a favor?
<orko_oskar> what?
<Blacklister> lemme buy that 11th player and get right back?
<Blacklister> didn't realize the skink was out.
<orko_oskar> Cyggar is suffering from a niggling injury.
<orko_oskar> thats why he´s out
<Blacklister> Yep, thought they played with niggles and were just more vulnerable.
<orko_oskar> no, on a one they miss the game
<orko_oskar> more vulnerable is in LRB5
<Blacklister> So...your answer is no?
<orko_oskar> afraid so, site rules
<Blacklister> Yeah, that's the resource i'm using. which does this site use?
<orko_oskar> LRB4
<Blacklister> nice.
<orko_oskar> http://fumbbl.com/help:RuleSet
<Blacklister> Yeah, I'll get to that, thanks for your understanding and kindness.
<orko_oskar> would love to play with LRB5 rules though
<orko_oskar> ouch
<Blacklister> damn button miss
<orko_oskar> :/
<orko_oskar> have those
<Blacklister> don't need to hear it from you
<Blacklister> Funny. Site rules don't say anything about that. I mean, they say LRB 4, but don't mention anything about the question I asked you.
<orko_oskar> A game is considered to have started at the moment the clients connect. At this point you are committed to the game and must play it out. Note that this includes scenarios where your opponent purchased new players after the mutual agreement to play. This rule does not apply if any of the participants connects with a team other than the one the game was agreed on.
<orko_oskar> from:
<orko_oskar> http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=help&op=rules
<Blacklister> different link, there ya go.
<orko_oskar> I thaught you meant where you could find the LRB4 rules-set for the rules on niggles
<orko_oskar> sorry about my misunderstanding
<Blacklister> should have expected dickish results in a dickish game.
<Blacklister> Sorry so slow, was adding someone to my black list.
<orko_oskar> For not letting you break the rules or for winning?
<Blacklister> For not doing something that I would have allowed someone else to do. If someone is fairly new and didn't understand a rules nuance, I don't take the hard line. It's rude and off-putting. And perfectly legal.
<orko_oskar> Are you seriously telling me you hav not read the rules of the site in 25 games?
<Blacklister> And then to build on that ill-gotten advantage, you turn aroudn and bash the heck out of my team. THAT part got the blacking.
<orko_oskar> ill-gotten advantage? How is it an ill-gotten advantage? Your skink missed the game on a niggle.
<Blacklister> I've read about 100 pages of material just learning the game, then the upgraded game (which apparently was wasted time) and then java client info
<Blacklister> and then the reules for each league and the rules for each division and the rules for each roster
<orko_oskar> But not the site rules?
<Blacklister> I told you what I thought niggling meant. I told you I didn't realize he'd miss the game, because this site uses the old, out-of-date rulebook.
<orko_oskar> Feel free to blacklist me for following the site rules.
<Blacklister> I told you why. The rules don't play a part in my decision.
<Blacklister> Oh, and thank you for retiring my team. I couldn't imagine a nicer guy having the honor.
<orko_oskar> Your wellcome
