It's against site rules to play more than 1 game at once unless you inform and get consent from all the opponents. If your opponent does this without asking you first, report him to the Admins.


Oh, how about that. There is a rule covering that. Great. The first time I noticed it I somehow didn't manage to find the rule and had since just assumed it wasn't explicitly covered in the rules when someone did it. Thanks for the tip.

I wish I knew how to avoid to almost ONLY have to play against bashy teams... It's getting really tiresome. Playing against coaches that stall and turn the games into blockfests isn't really my idea of fun. I wish they could just go and play WFB someplace with the rest of the teenagers...

It's called [R]anked division just pick agility opponents to your heart's content.

Although there is a lot of stalling on fumbbl also from agility coaches. Surprised

Yup, switch to [R]. Especially with the new gamefinder, which makes getting a game even easier. No need to use IRC or send PMs, none of that trivial amount of social interaction, the avoidance of which is what I presume has made [B] so popular. Just activate on the lfg2 & pick away. Also; WFB, really? 40k's much more likely...

If you can't stand stalling, you're really in the wrong division. In fact, [L] might be the best place for you.

Click help, click blackbox and read from the top:

'Blackbox Division
Summary

A new division of random fair matches where you play what you get. It is a highly competitive division that is not for the faint of heart.'

Simple; if you don't like it, don't play in that division.

Oi!!! [L] is competitive (although I take the point).

I feel insulted if someone doesn't stall on me... What's the point in not playing properly?! Wink

The game revolves around the push and pull of stall and counter-stall. Positional skill can make a big difference in whether the opponent has 3 turns to score or just 1, these things matter a great deal. If you don't want a blockfest, then please, steal the ball and run away with it. Otherwise, the game is lost...

Come and play in the 145 Open League or Rookie League.

Though of course people may stall there are plenty of non bashers.
