Dread: You know, I do believe that, other than being an odd git in the first place, anyone who had a job like mine would forum spam.
Another random fun thing to do is to intentionally seek out players/coaches with nasty reps and trash, bash, and out-score them (if you can). I think a lot of my positive attitude comes from one of my first games. This guy named Wuhan offered me a game.... His DE, my Dorfs. My buddy, who I'd convinced to try out the site, told me he was going to spec the game, so I had a channel open with him. He suddenly says I should check out the main channel. Someone had announced that "Wuhan was schooling some noob" and EVERYONE was speccing the game, and talking about my death-to-be. Did I cringe? Did I panic? No, I said to myself.... "Noob? I was playing this game well some of these guys were still wetting the bed! I learned my first strategy game when I was 2! (chess, I wasn't very good). School me? SCHOOL ME?!?!?!? BRING. IT. ON.!" So, with my one fan cheering, I watched Horkon Heart-ripper's poison dagger scrape off a few AV 9 guys, and, in his rush-to-crush, step a bit too close to my ball-carrier moving up the sidelines. Well, Dwarves have slayers, slayers have frenzy, Crowds go crazy, Horkon has Serious Injury. My informant on spectator comments said things got really quiet . . . Wuhan, who is a class guy, conceded the match after I scored, and you know what? It felt WAY better than beating a noob, or getting some good luck and beating an equal opponent. I had the world thinking I was the underdog, and I won! This is why I field a no-trees fling team, this is why my dwarves love the D.M.U., this is why Dread is a good guy to play against. When you should lose, but you don't, that is the best feeling! The more you "fix" a game, the less the victory means. I don't want to have the best rating, I want to be the best damn player you've ever played!!! (I have a ways to go)
Thanks for listening, this has been a public service announcement by Macavity, King of the Goldfish!

Passing is fun. With any team the feeling of a succesful pass (preferably in a vital spot) is the best ever. Yeah I'm weird like that but a succesful pass is way better than a kill to me 8^)
Now if I only dared pass more...
So passing is fun. Pass more people! Maybe there should be a "passing group" |

Hey, Flings can play!!! Passing is WAY more satisfying with flings or dwarves than with elves or gitters or over-skilled humans. Imagining your opponent's face when a short, fat player tosses that bladder down the field is the BEST! |

I have to admit that when the ones that were meant to be passing passes a lot it's truly beautiful to watch. I.e. those damn elves. I mean long bombing from flank to flank in wall-passes over the heads of almost anything... It's just... MORE than fling and skellie passing, even though fling and skellie passing is nice too... |

Shinan, I must admit that, in my opinion, you are off your nut! You've just joined my "Play" list. You will learn the ways of the goofy-fun-making-players-do-things-they-shouldn't-really-ever-try side!!! |

Well, he has a fling team, so he can't be hopeless, but he has trees on it.... What's up with that? |

well named players really does help. In i rough match vs skaven i killed a player. Fortunately his name was X-mas. With that act i reached super-villian hights of hysteria. |

I actually considered making my halflings no-trees after both my trees reached 250SPPs but I just can't let go! And I like my TTM-ing! Not to mention that now you have fulfilled the task of having all-halflings so I no longer have to (*whew*).
But I have an all-skeleton team too. One that passes more than it... uhm... intercepts? |
