It's true, I once beat up a patio recliner whilst imbiding Canadian whiskey. It's own fault really, sneaking up on me like that |

I'm assuming Huff is referring to PurpleChest's post on page 6 referring to the Ballad of RLHero and the the reboot achieved in this thread - After all there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to discussion of tactics. |

I feel like if you wanted to keep it going, we should start again from here:
Grod wrote: | I just wanted to point out, that most versions of BloodBowl, INCLUDING BB2017 are supposed to be played with special play cards - Random Events, Dirty Tricks etc. These cards do more than add a fun element, they add a random element that makes it dangerous to stall. Back in the day, and on TT with the latest version, you wouldn't stall if you suspected there was a trampoline trap in the EndZone. Or a landmine. Or a banana peel.
So BloodBowl without cards is quite a different game indeed, and perhaps on FUMBBL we aren't actually playing the game in the spirit it's actually intended? |
It's an interesting observation, and not one I'd considered before.
Also kudos to Grod for being in the original 2003 stalling thread! |

I have had games drawn and even lost because I didnt delay, but I will always score when I can! Maybe you might even score again if you dont delay! Its just a game...
I once had 4 elves on the field, all prone, all being kicked every turn, and the Norse team i played just held the ball for an entire half without scoring. It was explained to me that even with 4 elves I was some kind of major threat and might win the game. Granted, but TAKE THE CHANCE.
In the end, I had 2 elves killed, and 4 SId, all with permament stat losses, because I was too good a sport to concede and get out while I should have. |
So not much has changed really the last 15 years...
Not stalling makes you win less but it's "funner" |

In my experience with the forum, as things are actually almost sorting themselves out, right about now is the time when a random coach from eastern Europe, who isn't awesome with their english, pipes up and says something quite offensive, whether they actually mean to, or not. The thread heats up again for a few pages, often with 4 completely new players.
Zhems.. prepare yourself. |

How dare you say bad thing to glorius Eastern Europ! Us play much good dont not stall maybe never always, for good strategy. All this talk is idiot.
(You're welcome. I've greatly enjoyed the thread and frankly had no idea about the special cards Grod mentioned. Could someone elaborate? Is this something that may be implemented on fumbbl at some point?) |
