what you mean Wuhan's Fouling Academy

i remember playing some humans you had before they got into full swing and caused a bit of carnage in their short lived existence!!!

Of course i have mellowed in my old age and im not so eager to foul but its rather therapeutic having 4 DP's! Wink

Yes ... and all those annoying people that actually dare to write messages and CHAT in the chat room ... gee the nerve of them!

I actually like the discussion for skills. I seldom (read: never) ask myself, but I have a tendancy to watch the arguments when other players are asking for a skill-choice. And sometimes you actually see att choice that ought to be good that you hadnĀ“t tought of yourself (as the dwarf with diving tackle). So I have no problem with people asking for a good skill choice.

Well, as long as they ask in chat, i think that's allright. It's only when they post on the forum, then it becomes a bit of a nuisance. Come on Mully, give 'em a break.

Some coaches actually read up on the team before suggesting.

And its also an indirect way of showing off a player ;p All in good fun

I R'd the FM several times, but in a pressure-cooker environment like FUMBBL -- as opposed to a more laid-back place like your pals around a tabletop -- I feel a lot less inclined to "experiment" because I'm still newish and most of the other coaches are waaaayyyy better than me. So I do ask questions often about specific skills -- like "would Shadowing be worth it for a Chaos Dwarf?" or something largely because everyone on here is so damn good that screwing around feels more 'dangerous' than it does in real life.

A little over sensative aint we. Rolling Eyes

Here's a novel, simple answer, Dont reply when a Noob or any coach ask's for help regarding team managment. Easy fixed.

Or maybe, we could all have our own chatrooms. Yeah thats right! that way none of us has to put up with the other coach's differing perceptions, interpretations, beliefs OR stupid question's....Perfect!

Better Yet! Lets lobby Christer to have the Fumbbl front page contain a warning to all Noobs "Where an intolerant pack of elitest @ssO'ls please dont request help or look to other's for guidence, cause you wont get either, cause in here your on your own, sink or swim rookie. Oh yeah! And welcome to Fumbbl" Twisted Evil

Damn! crap like this makes you really miss guy's like Cussi. Who would routinely go out of his way to not only help but also make you feel ( God forbid ) welcome.

I rather like the option of being able to ask other coaches what they think a particular player should take... its a great way of getting different ideas from what you would normally do. Not to mention it is nice to get responses that match up to what you were thinking anyway.
