What all superstitions do y'all have? Which ones do we share as a site?
Like...
* Don't blog about a player until he's dead or retired, unless he's done something truly extraordinary (at least badge-worthy) or he just skilled up and you want to know what to take. Personal firsts (first legend) are a gray area.
* Only turn down Nuffle's gift if a normal skill would actually be better.
* GFIs into the endzone are prone to fail.
* Unnecessary turn 8 blocks are bad luck.
What else is there? |

This isn't a superstition. It's just a fact that blocking when you should be scoring is testing fate. There is that risk of failure, which would prevent you from scoring. It's sound advice. |

* Trust your gut feeling on a roll, even if the odds are in your favor and the roll is well worth the risk.
* If you use your apo on a player with (high) potential, something terrible will happen to a (currently) more useful player soon after.
* Never trust in 2+ rolls (they are much more likely to fail than any important 5+/6+ roll).
* Nuffle rewards the bold.
Edit:
* Your opponent's next block with Mighty Blow will certainly kill your (emerging) legend. |

Not sure if it is a superstition or not, but if I play Skaven I always choose tails for the coin flip. I also have a superstition that says if you don't set up your offense expecting a blitz, it will happen. |

Remember all game outcomes are predetermined, you are merely the vehicle that Nuffle uses to see his will done! |

Before you choose to reroll a dice move the mouse around like crazy to change the result.
Works
Seriously |

Blue rolls 10% luckier than Red. |

So do you wait 30 seconds after accepting a match, or would that be jinxing yourself? |

Any player with a cool name will trip on a dodge and die horribly before their first skill. A player with a rubbish name will become a legend after 30 games |

I always try to be the first one to say HF and GL! I don't know why, but it feels lucky.
Also, I feel that tails seldom fails on coin tosses, but I take heads anyway to get my luck later in the game on something else that might be more important. |
