Wouldnt pro-elves feel that fouling high elves was acceptable as there all stuck up rich gits who nobody loves ?
Wouldnt everyone foul a wardancer as they are chaffing anoying |

I totally disagree with in-character playing. But hey, whatever floats your boat. |

I'd rather think the pro elves would prefer to beat the high elves with the ball. Even their animosity wouldn't let them foul on turn 16 which would drag their honour into the dirt. |

They may be a bit stuck up, but thats no reason to go around stamping on their heads! The best way to humble them is to give them a good fair trouncing.

In truth .
Im unlikely to foul anything , but its mainly because I fear retribution  But turn 16 is usually a Khama thing . |

LAST FOUL (tune of "Last Kiss", recently re-popularized by Pearl Jam)
Oh, why oh why did my player die?
It was the last turn, you didn't have to try!
The game was over, so you ought to be good
Stop trying to hurt my players once they've hit the ground.
We were playing a game in the fumbbl way
It's my favourite place to play
I'd scored and I'd killed, cause he was a noob
Even said sorry, didn't want to be rude
He couldn't win, so I set everyone back
I'll never thought that he would attack
The kicking foot, busted head
Then suddenly my Ogre was dead.
Oh, why oh why did my player die?
It was the last turn, you didn't have to try!
The game was over, so you ought to be good
Stop trying to hurt my players once they've hit the ground.
When I looked up, the game was done
and suddenly I didn't think it was fun
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
I'd lost my Big Guy and I'd started to cry
I started to curse, called him a butt-hole
"Hey buddy, chill out. It's called BLOODbowl"
I screamed out loud, I started a thread.
Someone must care that my player is dead
But he's still gone, though some agree
I lost my Ogre, when he fouled me!
Oh, why oh why did my player die?
It was the last turn, you didn't have to try!
The game was over, so you ought to be good
Stop trying to hurt my players once they've hit the ground. |

this strengthens my role play vs strategy argument
put in the boot when ever you can
especialy if the coach leaves only 3 guys on the line |

smashyahelmut,
In most leagues T16 foul is normal, as you are probably going to meet that team again and most likely in a tournament setting. Additionally, your opponent is a friend whom you talk and laugh with for hours while playing.
Most games played here are against strangers and usually the two teams won't play each other again. Therefore fouling on the last turn (preventing opponent from recipicating) can be seen as spiteful when done without reason.
Yes, it is a fanasty game, but many don't see that as an excuse. |

Well smashyahelmut, there's nothing wrong to roleplay.
If you act as bad guy, though, you should be prepared to read your nick on several black lists.  |

Yes. If there is no possible advantage to doing other-wise, what does fouling show? That you resent losing? I only would foul on the last turn when playing PaulHicks or to kill an abomination, which I would explain to the coach in good fun first. |

I never get tired of mentioning this story: The match was Elves versus Chaosdwarves. The CDs had been fouling the whole match long, then stalled to the final turn and then set up with Bullcentaurs on the edge of the line, so that in the last round my elves could neither score nor efficiently block some linefodder. Quite logically I blitzed one of the bulls. The other guy said "gg", but I wasn't done yet. I surrounded him and fouled the bull for a niggling injury - the just punishment for a game of fouling and stalling. The other coach whined about how unfair turn 16 fouls are and that he would never ever play me again. Of course he still offered to play my elves with his DP loaded Khemri team a few weeks later, but refused all sensible matchups.
Usually I won't start the fouling war, but once the genie is out of the bottle, I don't see why I should put it back in on turn 16. |
