“Instead of a match report, I'll add a few bits from the IRC channel:

[00:03] <Optihut-playing> witch elf with 8 3 4 7 frenzy dodge jump up dauntless block - what should I take on a double?
[00:03] <Mezir> mighty blow
[00:03] <Elfkicker> MB
[00:04] <Optihut-playing> hmmmm. The problem is - I am mostly crowd pushing with the witches... Even in turn 7 of the 2nd half... ;)
[00:04] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> Crowd pushing turn 7 second half? If it is not for a good purpose that is kinf of asanine
[00:04] <Optihut-playing> but then again, I almost see no other good option, so perhaps mighty blow it is
[00:05] <Optihut-playing> Ah, it was necessary to secure the touchdown
[00:05] *** Optihut-playing changed nick to Optihut
[00:05] <Emphasy> no it wasnt
[00:05] <Optihut> and nobody got hurt
[00:05] <Optihut> yes it was
[00:05] <Optihut> just watch the replay ;)
[00:05] <Emphasy> its the idea of doing it:)
[00:05] <Optihut> Yep, it's the thought that counts and I am having a good time. Roleplaying evil and all that.
[00:05] <Emphasy> leading 3-1 and doing so is lame imho
[00:05] <Emphasy> lol
[00:05] <Optihut> Come on, what did you expect from a player called "EVIL Esteemia"? ;)

NOTE: Actually it was Princess Pain that set up the stage for the crowd push, my bad for confusing my own players.

[00:05] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> I had a guy trying to crowd push a player once and he rolled double pows...so he rerolled it into double skulls :-)
[00:06] <Optihut> Could have been me...
[00:06] <Optihut> I think that happened to me once.
[00:06] <Emphasy> lol
[00:07] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> I can see certain instances where it might be negotiable to crowd push....but on a whole a lot of people do it out of pure ignorance....
[00:07] <Optihut> mighty blow it is - there are no good traits left.
[00:07] <Lotion> can crowdpushing result in any injury for the pushed player?
[00:08] <Optihut> It's not ignorance in my case, it's malice. Oh but this time it was necessary, I maintain it.
[00:08] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> haha....you obviously have not been crowd pushed
[00:08] <Altheus> results in an injury roll Lotion
[00:08] <Optihut> If only to teach people not to make bold moves, because they think they are safe in round 7
[00:08] <Emphasy> well, guess we wont be agreeing on that any time soon anyway
[00:08] <Emphasy> Optihut: If only to teach people not to make bold moves, because they think they are safe in round 7
[00:09] <Elfkicker> Jedi...Are you calling me ignorant?
[00:09] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> Optihut sounds like a great opponent...a lot of fun to play
[00:09] <Elfkicker> I crowd push on purpose all the time...
[00:09] <Emphasy> that was just about the most stupid ive heard in a long time?
[00:09] <Optihut> Heh
[00:09] <Emphasy> so people shouldnt use apo caus i just foul them for doing so?
[00:09] <Emphasy> omg m8
[00:09] <Optihut> Nothing bad happened, the guy didn't have a scratch. In fact, I bet you 5 goldpieces that your blitzer was grateful to take a rest in the dugout
[00:09] <Emphasy> then when their team dies they can learn not to use apo
[00:10] <Mezir> when someone uses the apo on a BH I'll foul them.
[00:10] <Mezir> that'll larn 'em.
[00:10] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> I don't think there is a single GOOD coach that crowdpushes for pure mailce
[00:10] <Emphasy> ...
[00:10] <Sparticus> haha
[00:10] <Optihut> I don't. And for the record, I didn't DP foul in the first turn, you did Emph ;)
[00:10] <Emphasy> Opthut, caus i know you foul like crazy when you can get away with it:)
[00:10] <Trog> how about just malice
[00:10] <Trog> not quite PURE malice
[00:10] <Optihut> Hey, I never claimed to be a good coach. I am an evil coach ;)
[00:11] <Emphasy> but fouling t1 is another thing
[00:11] <Trog> i hate t1 foulers
[00:11] <Emphasy> crowding when already winning for no purpose is lame
[00:11] <ThndrMge> i crowd push to teach the coach not to run there dude along the borderline
[00:11] <mikafreak> fouling is a part of the game
[00:11] <Trog> unless in a league/tourney
[00:11] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> bbteams optihut
[00:11] <Optihut> The purpose was to get rid of your blitzer, who could have blitzed my ball carrier.
[00:11] <ThndrMge> I fowl because i like killing things :)
[00:11] <ThndrMge> foul*
[00:11] <Emphasy> Optihut.. no he couldnt since you had people infront of your thrower
[00:11] <Mezir> trog: what's wrong with t1 fouling?
[00:12] <Trog> i fowl, because i'm part goose
[00:12] <ThndrMge> Yes... I turkey because i like killing things
[00:12] <mikafreak> hehe
[00:12] <Mezir> it's often the best opportunity to get rid of your opponent's big guy
[00:12] <mikafreak> I just don't foul,
[00:12] <Mezir> bring it down, get some assists, set the cage behind it... foul
[00:12] <Emphasy> yeah
[00:12] <Trog> i'm just kidding Mez
[00:12] <ThndrMge> I normally only foul if I'm outnumbered or my fans got the ref :)
[00:12] <Mezir> thought so
[00:12] <Trog> i do it all the time
[00:12] <Mezir> you like fouling too much
[00:12] <Trog> except when i don't need to
[00:12] <Jedi_Knight_Amoeba> I foul opponents that foul...otherwise I'll play a clean game and have fun
[00:12] <Elfkicker> I foul because heck...they are elves after all right?
[00:13] <BangNSmash> What's wrong w/ Fouling? I had someone BITCH like hell that I was fouling
[00:13] <pacartwr> all these reasons/excuses are good; so is having no excuse/reason, imo - why not foul just to encourage more debates about fouling?
[00:13] <Optihut> oh oops. I just checked our previous matches Emphasy and apparently I did a mean crowdpush there too. I kinda feel guilty now. A little bit ;)
[00:13] <BangNSmash> I don't see the big deal -- it's in the rulebook, so why not?
[00:13] <Emphasy> lol OPtihut
[00:13] <Emphasy> it was almost the same
[00:13] <Emphasy> i was winning there thou
[00:14] <Optihut> Well, at least you know now to expect every underhand tactic in the book from me ;)
[00:14] <Emphasy> tactic ?
[00:14] <Mezir> ah, blessed Wuhan
[00:14] <Mezir> <blu> then why do you keep fouling and refusing to score
[00:14] <Mezir> when you've obviously won?
[00:14] <Mezir> <red> I like fouling.
[00:14] <Optihut> my bad, brilliant tactic I meant, of course.
[00:14] <Emphasy> no tactic in making unnecessary crowding...:/”
