It recently occured to me that I have had the joy of a reoccuring grudge match between another coach on fumbbl. Aequitas happens to be a friend in real life, so maybe that helps a bit, but we have played 3 full pages against one another. Some classic battles have taken place over the long while we have been playing. Sadly hes decided to narrow his world to World of Crack as the expense of blood bowl, so I cannot play him anymore. Some of the constant badgering from others in the fumbbl community played a role in that but I am rambling.
The point of this is to hear of some of your classic ongoing grudge matches between other coaches. I mean when you can get right into it and foul each others teams to ribbons and still laugh about it afterwards, nothing can beat that. You don't have to be foulers I gather to enjoy reoccuring rivalries either I bet
I look forward to enjoying tales of rivalries between coaches or teams for that matter |

World of Crack? That's cunning!
Baldrick: I have a plan, sir.
Blackadder: Really, Baldrick, a cunning and subtle one?
Baldrick: Yes, sir.
Blackadder: As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University? |

I never had grudges, but rivalries add some spice to some games, especially vs coaches you like to play against.
I have played multiple coaches multiple times, but some of my Lavino Hellfishes classic rivalries include:
Broken Face (TheSquig's undead team) - 4 games so far
Always bloody, always painful, always fun.
Doomy Diggers (Cloggy's chaos dwarf team) - 3 games so far
These puny dorfs always try to bash us to pieces, but to no avail. We thrice stood against the great Meuh, and were the only humans to ever tie a game against the monster!
Daulatars (ChromeX's orc team) - 2 games so far
Bah... Orcs! They don't even know how a ball looks like. You can dance around them and still take the time to hit from time to time.
Pink Fluffy School Bunnies (Topper28's human team) - 2 games so far
Despite Adriana's all time records, we always showed this "team" some TRUE teamwork.
Trash Cult Actors (Ebenezer's human team) - 3 games so far
Awesome blitzers, tough team. Not feared, but damn respected. |

wow I have many coaches vs whom I have a special rivalry.
I could make a 12-15 caoches list about that. And that's definitely one of the point why tournaments are so greater than R. R is a bit impersonal. Play the coach, forget the coach, end of the thema.
In tournament, playing often the sames again makes it special IMO. |

In the pre- and early FUMBBL days, I had a recurring rivalry with Christer. We're very well matched coaches, both quite defensive and both hate losing to the other. I narrowly missed out to him on claiming the J League title, the first online tourney Christer ever organised for JBB.
Sadly, we've only played one game (very recently) since the new system went online, and the first time in a few years now: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=matches&coach=7&coach2=3 |

Jan Mattys (as explained above)
and Dreadclaw. We've both destroyed one of each others stars, but luckily Dreadclaw has yet to defeat me. Always destroys my teams though sadly... until next time |

Nice topic. My favorite opponent is Lurking Gruemeister. Partly because he's my bitch (14-3-8 record), but mostly because he enjoys my caustic curse filled tirades that follow his lucky/my unlucky turns more than anyone.
We've been in many tournies together and, although he is starting to get the best of me, he is still one of my fav opponents. I also know when I get fouled by him that either I deserved it or .... I deserved it. hehe
He's also a good guy to chat with. |

Now, say it: I am one of them, right? But on what rank at your list? Mmm, let´s play more often to find out better.

I used to have the greatest rivalry in the world with PaulHicks.... That man understood friendly trash-talk better than anyone.... We'd threaten back and forth in the forums and chat, then we'd play. Usually he'd smach me up, sometimes I'd pull a win out of it, every time I would literally laugh out loud. A Toast to Paul!! The nicest Fummbler I've ever played!!! |

I guess I have played enough versus smess and fanatic to call it a reoccuring rivalry, but I know 'em both irl, so I think it's logical that I played 'em more than others. They're also in my tourney, so that gives us a lot of games after some seasons... |
