I think there must be something in this , whne i first started here i played a high elf team , and i did okay , then i started my elfs and played them for a lot of games , then when i went back to high elves i just couldnt get the hang of them . i think i must of just been off kilter with the high elves and too much playing in the style of the pro elfs . When i switched back to elfs agains I quickly managed to get a sembelance of being able to play the game again . |

I think some general Advanced Bloodbowl Theory Articles would be good.
What I mean is something similar to the chess articles you see in the national press, where they either take an interesting set-up and discuss the different moves that COULD be made (e.g. what is the best blitz from this position etc...where the answer isn't obvious, but there are several attractive options) or take great matches and discuss why the moves that were made were so good (from a tactical perspective not just cos the 1/36 block actually came off... E.g. moving the blitzer to this square doesn't look important, but it allowed for the offense's push to be stopped 2 turns later and was actually the move of the half).
I think my game is reasonable at the moment (although some may disagree with my current CR!) but I'm really struggling to make the leap to the next level. I think this type of discussion or article would be of great benefit to my game.
I find that a lot of the general advice that is found on this site and the web in general for bloodbowl is just a bit vague and almost designed for newbies so it would be nice to see more aimed at medium to advanced players.
Also I reckon a discussion on the various kicking set-ups would be good by race, especially if it could refer to specific positional placement as again most of the articles just say that the standard 3-4-4 is good, but when you have positionals available sometiimes I feel there may be better options and I am not always clear on the best place for these players considering the team available. |

The best to write the human article would be Sideshowbow, he has the most succesful team in the grand Swedish league and that league has no tr cap and no cap on bashiness (multiple dp:s are rule rather than exception). Despite this he still has one of the best teams after 15 seasons and he really suck at rolling doubles and stats too!
What I would want to read most would be a discussion of delaying TD:s as long as possible against a team bashier than your own.
But I'd love to read a human article by Sideshowbob, he made really nice writeups every week in the Swedish stable league where he analysed matchups. |

Okay, I'll have to call a halt here, as there are already far too many suggestions to fit in one poll!
Please feel free to continue posting though - if this idea works well, I'm sure we may well use it again in the future to get suggestions for more articles: they just won't get into <i>this</i> poll.
I'll now go back over the thread and (arbitrarily  ) pick out six or seven ideas to put in the poll. |

Well, a fouling article it is then!
Er, I mean, a 'defence against fouling' article.
(Does this means we can't use 'the best defence is a good offence' as the theme then?)
Anyway, if we decide to do this again, I'll keep the three next most successful options and put them on the next poll, along with any new suggestions. For now, I'm off to find an expert in being fouled who can write this thing … |

Something important to consider in the article -- ni vague terms, the ways of defending against fouls are probably similar, but they may start to differ quite a bit with different races, and at different ratings (due to the kinds of skills the players on each team will have). I'm certainly no expert when it comes to fouls, but I can see how there are differences for different teams. |
