Oh, now that I'm used to the ref watching, please, try it  .
Don't foul when the ref's watching. My new lesson. |

I tend to do things on the field that benefit me or my team. Fouling is one action that I can use to benefit my team, but doing it at the end of the game does not benefit my team in any way so I usually have other actions that are more important. Sure I block every possible block at the last turn as that gives me the opportunity to earn SPPs, but fouling does not give me anything. I consider myself old enough to ignore the potential of laughing with my friends if I manage to maim/kill a player from some unknow internetcoach. |

Exactly. To do otherwise would make you a total *******. Unless of course, they had been one to you first and then, it would still be my last action. |

Ok, here's my T16 foul experience so far:
I was playing my new Norse team against a friend of mine's new Chaos Dwarf team. I had scored once earlier in the match, but he had since bashed me into ineffectiveness.
On turn 16, I had 3 players still on the pitch, and the ball was about 4 squares from his endzone. There's no way he could possibly even tie the game.
He proceeds to pile 6 guys around one of my downed lineman and foul him, resulting in death. He had already caused 4 Casualties to me, and plenty of KO's, so I wasn't trying to hide from him or any of that.
I was pretty upset about the whole thing, until he told me that he thought he could win by making me unable to field 3 players. I told him that that only matters on a kickoff, but since he didn't know, I accepted it as a tactical foul instead of pure spite and malice. No problem there.
The sad part is, he proceeded to tell me that he would have done it anyways since his Minotaur laid on the ground for most of the second half because of failed Wild Animal rolls. As if that were my fault! On top of that, he said that I broke even, since I made 50k that match, and that's what it would cost to replace my lineman.
I completely understand that fouling is part of the game, but I tend to think that it should be used for some advantage, instead of the sole purpose of making you feel better because you rolled like crap/lost a match. |

There is no such obligation. You can set up <i>zero</i> players on kick-off and still play on.
I think LRB 5.0 may change this … but it hasn't got here yet in any case.
PS - If he was a friend, why were you upset? You'll surely play him again, and sooner or later <i>you'll</i> be the one with the man advantage and can have your revenge! I can somewhat understand being upset when a stranger you may well never play again Turn 16 fouls, but not when it's a friend. |

I know he was a friend, but, isn't it true that your friends can usually tick you off worse than anybody else can? |

Of course. But you get to get them back for it!  |

For reference: my last game against an RL friend. 9 fouls total and 5 perms or worse. The only reason I didn't T16 foul was because my blitz caused a CAS anyway. 
Now we just have to work on breaking that CAS record next season …
Edit: Even more importantly, the players I niggled were myself <b>and</b> FatherShadow! Nothing better to sweeten the bitter taste of defeat.  |

It's not another one. It's an old one revived! (see my song?) |

Well, this thread was created in august the 7th... not exactly "old" in my book.
...and the fact that it only has 10 pages now shows how new it is, being a fouling thread. |

oi im sick of reading this crap
if you dont like the tread look somewhere else
if you want to message just to say its crap why are you bothering
you add to the size of the tread and frustrate others
this was my first post
i haven't been around for years
im asking a question that has show 10 pages of intrest
I JUST DONT GET IT
IF ITS IN THE RULES ITS FAIR GAME
FOUL KILL WIN LOOSE
JUST HAVE FUN BOYZ AND GIRLS
this is what i can work out
you can foul in the last if:
you are pissed off
you want blood 
you need a second casualty 
you are left wih only 3 people on the front line to block 
or
you are playing a coach like me
who wants you to bring your best game
i want you to score on me
i want you to foul me
i want you to kill my guys
because when you do i learn not to do that again 
i become a better coach when you bring your best game
and its a more rewarding win when i do 
i have more fun when we play anything goes
i think we all could have more fun this way 
you know getting cranky at pixels is silly |
