This is a sad day indeed. Today, after 263 games, I lost my 49th (Slapps) and 50th (Beggi) players on the field of Blood Bowl as Nuffle's sacrifices, the first victim being Neal Gerhoff.

Some Stats:
- They had a total of 212 SPPs. 14 were Veteran players, 33 were Rookies, and 3 would have gotten their first skill if they hadn't died.
- 8 stole the MVP in the game that they died in.
- They cost a total of 3120k, which is three rookie teams and then some.
- 43 times when one of my players was kiled, either the apothecary worked or they were healed by Regeneration. That's about a 46% save rate if killed!
- Only Rammel was risen as a Zombie by the team Long Dead People. He was killed in his first full game with the team and stole the MVP too!

On the plus side, I have permanently killed 65 opposing players out of 103 total kills (a 63% kill rate), including 2 Ogres, 8 Skaven linerats, 2 Vampires, 3 Werewolves, 2 Chaos Warriors, 1 Rat Ogre, 2 Dwarf Blockers, Zara the Slayer once, and 13 Stunties. I have risen 4 from the dead. My best kill was a Norse Catcher named Jorge Hellwind with 73 SPPs from Arktoris' Hellbound Charioteers, whom I raised to become a Zombie.

If you want to see the players, go to my Coach Bio, which has links to each one: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=coachinfo&coach=28951

The irony that is thread necromancy in the obituaries section

The irony is Oblitzamanger getting praised for a thread like this, while another coach was crucified for doing much the same thing, just with fewer pics...

Man, I'd have a TON of back games to check if I wanted to figure out the toal value of every death I've ever suffered/incurred! lol Kinda one of those stats you'd better be keeping track of from the get-go, or don't even bother...

That's because the little bullies that reside in the Fumbbl forum kick downwards and licks upwards. Obviously a certain person has a fair amount of respect for Oblitzamanger while not for the other guy. And that's really what it boils down to.

Or maybe it's just that odd sense of humor again, I don't know.

I like fluff and therefore thinks it's great that people takes the time to write an obituary even if it would simply be a rookie lineman. I have never understood the idea of somehow blaming people for their posts not being interesting. If I would read the Obituary section I would obviously have quite a lot of time on my hands, so if a thread wouldn't be to my liking I wouldn't see it as much of a loss...

There is a difference in the amount of time Oblitzamanger spent on his post, it has different content, and he didn't post it in his blog too.

Also note that huge amounts of attention have been drawn to this section of the forum.

I quite like this post because of the colours and it tells me what sort of teams (and player) Oblita has (is).

SillySod likes his pretty colours it seems.

All Oblit's post needs is a shiney thing it in then SillySod would be captivated for hours.

For me it looks like porn for geeks. The pictures next to the names doesn't even serve a purpose. But that's just my opinion and not the point.
You can't browse this forum and attack people for writing in a way that doesn't interest you. Aren't there some kind of warning bells going off when you think like that? The whole argument makes you look like you have some messed up god complex where you actually think that YOU should decide what is acceptable to write here.

Don't you want the Fumbbl community to keep growing? Don't you realize that newcomers to this site might just pack up and leave if some self proclaimed Fumbbl veteran tries to put them in their place over some pointless thing like writing an obituary that doesn't suit your standard?

Right, so you like fluff, but consider it porn for geeks? Wink

Perhaps the pictures next to the players indicate the players positions? Shocked

Dude, the vast majority of us know that Pythrr is a sarcky so and so, and doesn't expect to be taken seriously (it does tickle him when someone does though), same as we also know that sillysod is a little emo, therefore we taunt him mercilessly. Very Happy

I'm all for putting players obituaries in the obituaries section myself, i think some folk have a problem with blanket coverage of such an event, which seems to be the issue with the other poster.

Finally,

Hey, that was just to get a rethorical ground point for the rest. And yes, fluff is kind of geeky. I would feel embarassed if my friends knew I was writing little stories to my fictional players in this generally quite geeky game.
I appreciate Oblitz's effort, even if I personally would have used that time and energy on more interesting (for me) things than posting pictures next to names. The point with it though was that how he choses to honor his dead pixels is his business.

And I don't think there is any excuses for this senseless flaming of people. Personally I don't think that pythrr was joking at all in the other thread. He was simply acting arrogant and picking a fight. He might consider that humor, but people that don't know him won't realize that so the potential of pissing people off or even scaring them away from this community are substantial.

I'm sure the guy is charming if you get to know him, but that kind of behavior shouldn't be encouraged or accepted.

It's ironic how the admins spend their time kicking people out of the chat or editing team names over very harmless curse words while they seem to have no problem with genuinely rude people that harass other members as long as they use proper language...

It's comprehensively geeky! The whole frikin' thing. Very Happy

Chewie and I need something like this to help balance our footballing type manliness, well this and Russo.

I think pirog may be a little bitter that this post he made in the Obituaries got 0 responses.

Maybe Pythrr should perform a necro flame and it can get to 6 pages too Wink

Haha Wink

I don't really see the Obituaries as a section that promotes much discussion, so I'm happy if it remains dead and buried just like poor Momba.

Somehow, I agree with both Pirog and SillySod...

Thanks for the comments guys. Finally I can have my share of the limelight with my deaders... BTW, I have 13 more dead to commemmorate, but I'll wait until 100 deaths to do so. They're really juicy ones, including a Krox! /me weeps...

@SillySod - What kind of a player do you think I am based on our interactions and my posts? I'm interested in knowing. Send me a PM if you like. Thanks for your positive feedback!

@Chewie - You rock too!

@Pirog - (start sarcastic transmission)Hey! This is NOT geeky! This is perfectly normal stuff! I am a perfectly normal guy with no nerdy tendencies at all!!(end sarcastic transmission) In all seriousness, I do agree that there is not much reason to pick fights on the forums just to pick fights. And Chewie is right, the pics are to tell you WHO they were, so they are not just meaningless names or tiresome links. Also, the actual "body" of the pic marks the tombstone, in a way. Otherwise, I would use the tombstone pic for each one, but that would mean there is no face behind the corpse.

@AFK_Eagle - It took some time to compile the stats, and I don't know if I'll do it again. Having played under 200 games, it wasn't too bad. Now with 350, I don't think it would be worth it, but I'll still keep track of my losses and trophies in my coach bio: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=coachinfo&coach=28951
You will find that information under the sixth and seventh blood symbols in my coach bio.
