Hey all. I'm fairly new to Bloodbowl and just recently found out about this site. Overall I need some help with working the chat software and ways to setup games with other players. Any help would be appreciated. |

Have you read the Help pages?
If so, do you have more specific questions? |

Yeah. I downloaded Xchat and went through the instructions on how to set it up, but it keeps saying unknown server, and I don't know what I am doing wrong. |

Oops. Just spelled something wrong. Sorry to waste your time on that. I really appreciate the help and the quick responses. I assume it would be better and quicker to use the chat from here on out for questions? |

Chat usually gives a faster response time depending on who is online and helpful at the time. |

But it can give many unhelpful advice from the clowns, mind you get that in the forums as well. |

have you played much table-top bloodbowl? If so you'll be familiar with the game/rules anyway and that will make it easier.
My advice is: play one game with that academy team you have set up just to learn how the java client works / how to start games (hint: from the 'home' page that lists your teams click play next to your team and it will give you a window that starts the java client with that team, I didn't know this at the start). There's not many academy teams so you may have to wait a while to find a game- ask on IRC in #fumbblacademy (or #fumbbl if you can't get anything but that's the general channel)
Then make a ranked team as it's muuuch easier to get games that way (usual wait: couple minutes) and you can use the gamefinder to challenge/be challenged
good luck! |

...unless you coach Dorfs or Khemri, that is  |

to learn the client it is also a nice idea to play some stand-alone games. |

You can play with some standard starting teams that come with the client or play with teams that you've used in online games, or, helpfully with teams from games you spectate. Which by the way is a good way to pick up some tips, try spectating some games with starting teams from races you like played by experienced coaches. |
