Hey Dear Fumbblers (and Admins),

I have got some questions regarding the Goblin's Ball and Chain guy. As you know, so far he is not implemented correctly (ST7 guy right now - no negative skills except "No Hands" and "Secret Weapon").

For a long time I did not have a Goblin team since there are so many things missing so far. But then some recent time ago the Goblin XFL was recruiting....so I thought that since there everyone would suffer from the same missing implementations, I could dare a try.

So I made a team and have send it into the tournament. I did not buy a Fanatic, because I considered him as a misimplementation. Then during the first game I learned that my oppo had one. And later I saw that most of the teams had one of those int heir rosters; and they use them. So, I considered it as a common thing and bought one, too. Now, after the XFL I have played an oppo today who was quite surprised when I blocked him with the Fanatic; he considered him as a bug, which should not be exploited. Using him would be against the Fumbbl rules. I must say; somehow I can understand. So, now...what is Fumbbl's official statement towards this issue? Can we use him? And if yes, are the coaches here really aware of this? Because if not, then from now on anytime I get offered a game I would have to state that I have a Fanatic and I would use him.

I hope you share some of your thoughts about this here.

Cya on pitch,

Urrghs

If it's allowed in majors, I'd confidently hazard a guess that it's allowed anywhere on site.

As to whether it *should* be allowed, meh, I'm ambivalent.

While it's true that you have full control of the fanatic, there is a downside. With ball & chain, you can't control his movement, but you get to throw multiple blocks (maybe) and you get to move and block without using your blitz for the turn. Without ball & chain, you only get one block and you can't move and block without using your blitz, so it's a tradeoff. In my opinion, the downside evens out with the upside so it should be acceptable to use the fanatic.

As the XFL Goblin winner I can comment on this topic with absolute authority. My word on Gobbos is LAW! (Right? That's how the XFL works isn't it?)

Anyway, Fanatic is allowed even if not implemented correctly, and you can tell anyone who complains to 'Get over it, you're playing Goblins you damn Picker'.

By whom? Let me guess, bowlbot. You need to stop this perennial
admin/rules/fumbbl witchhunt, KL.

There have been a few forum topics on this before (one answered by admins which I can't find now). There were plenty though, if you did a search, would have given you the idea it was ok.

For instance:

Hmm; by the way..... Where can I find the search function for the forum. I do not see it any more; probably I am blind. However, the last time I have used it (some time before) it did not work. Whatever I typed in, it did not show any results.

If you hover over the 'Forum' tab, there are 4 sub-tabs; Index, Search, Usergroups and Profile

I'd say you got pretty unlucky. Firstly lucked out in that you didn't take one in XFL, and then had somebody who refused to play you when you did buy one.

Here is the forum search function:

http://fumbbl.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=search

Anyway, we didn't really see it as our business getting involved in. The site lets you buy one, the client doesn't let you use him as he should be used at the moment. So while you can, abuse the hell out of him, and if somebody connects to a game then starts whining, give it a good MUAHUAHUAHUA.
