I think it is one of the most realistic parts of the game. Imagine you are an elf. You are weak and fragile. If you score now you know you have 5 minutes of facing up against the hulking black orc over there. If you stall it will be 30 seconds. What do you do? |
Elf teams with 4 catchers are the teams that benefit the most from no stall rules. Dwarfs vs 4 catcher pro elves and not stall rules is distinctly unfair. |

It's not relevant, we don't play downs. Also it isn't necessarily the winning team, a losing team can stall for a draw; to save getting a beating, that doesn't exist in our sports.
The equivalent would be a football team passing it backwards and forward without getting anywhere, which is what you could do when 1-0 up and keeping it at the back of the field. I haven't heard any complaints about that.
Stalling is an ugly mechanic, we'd be better off without it. However removing it, causes more problems than it solves. Gameplay and rosters become unbalanced. |

Some Kick Off events are an ugly mechanic too and a valid reason to stall. |

Heh, yeah, but that includes learning how to stall, so it's really just an anti opponent stall rule.  |

why not make a new anti stall rule, that is anti vs anti stall rule.
you can call it anti anti stall rule for example.
so whenever someone doesnt stall its automatically pitch invation, so whatever goals scored is disalowed, that way all matches end up in draws..
problem solved! |

Addendum to that. Fouls get +1 to AV, and refs will only throw out a fouler on a double 6 casualty roll while an opponent is stalling |

stalling is becoming really ridiculous and i see some people stalling just to make a draw!
i think public in bloodbowl stadiums like touchdowns and runs, public can invade the field during the game if the play is boring, i think it s realistic
my idea is a roll after the fourth turn when the team has the ball and keep it
on the fifth turn on 6 public invasion against the team that have the ball
on the 6th turn 5 or 6 public invasion
etc etc
some coach would say strong teams nedd to stall, i dont do it and my stats are not too bad. but i would preder play instead of waiting 8 turns when the dices are not good at the beginning of a run.
what do you think of that |
The game is what it is. Stalling is a big part of the strategic decisions you make during the game.
If fans show up to a game they know has this element, they'd probably expect it. So why would they be upset?
It's like turning up to an American Football game and being upset that it's not Ice Hockey. You're in the wrong stadium ya goof!
The same thing applies to people that complain about stalling. The game is what it is, and it doesn't always conform to what we want it to be (or even what the designers intended it to be for that matter).
Instead of complaining about stalling, do something productive, and try and learn how to counter it.
edit: oh dear, 9 years ago eh? This is a mighty necro!  |

[1] no, stalling is not "becoming really ridiculous"
[2] learn how to play better, and people will stall less
[3] stalling is a useful skill
[4] there are no 'public' in a BB stadium. It is _imaginary_.
[5] stop using multiple accounts to start the same thread (using a time machine) |

the reason why there aren't anti-stalling rules is because there's nothing funnier then watching someone stall til turn 8, but when he goes to move his player into the endzone, the opponent calls 'illegal procedure'...and there's no rr to counter.
everyone then spends the rest of the night laughing |
