Right, I've finally managed to get myself a couple of hours of free and uninterupted time 2 or 3 times a week, so I want to get back into FUMBBL.
But is it possible? Tbh, I don't want to end up playing huge team all the time (I thinkl my most experianced team has 5 games), and unfortunately, due to a couple of bad experiences whenI last played (people disconneting during games) I really don't want to be playing n00bs (yeah, I know that's not nice, but...).
So I guess what I'm asking is, is there a wide range of low level TR teams out there. coached by known and respected coaches?
(Sorry if this post comes over negative and/or elitist, but those previous experiences left a bad taste in my mouth, and I don't really want to go through that again.  And yes, I know now I could have done something about that, didn't know that at the time.) |

Hey Darkson i reckon you were unlucky with your bad experiences, personally i havent had many dropped games, except when i fouled a good chaos warrior and killed him & apoth failed so my opponent hit his computer and knocked it off the table!!!  He rejoined so that was ok! :
If you wanted you could get an open league going with FUMBBLER's you know IRL or on TBB, that way you at least know they will be cool about playing.
If i ever get the time to play ill give you a shout and i can beat up some of your teams! |

Don't know if I'm known or respected that much around here but I always have some new teams floating around who'ld be happy to play. I like to think I'm a fair player both in terms of sportsmanship (although I might whine a bit from time to time) and in terms of skill... just drop me a line in Irc and we'll set something up if you've got a fair offer... |

I play mostly leagues, so my R teams arent that high. I've been around and I've never heard a complaint.  I'd be happy to play when Im around. |

I'm a bit newbish (but getting better, honest!) but I never ever disconnect. Just concede, for God's sake. Don't disconnect.
(I've never conceded either but God, I've come close)
If you're still a bit rusty, Darkson, I might be a good match for you because I'm still learning. |

Oddly... I've found as the community has gotten larger, real dorks have become fewer. Havn't had anyone drop on me in over 8 months (who did not return that is). I think the admin have done a nice job of stompin the crap out of abusers of all kinds.
There is more fouling than there used to be though... makes my heart feel all warm and mushy... |

From what I remember of your problems with FUMBBL the first time around (as voiced in the TBB forums ages ago), I think you really just had some bad luck with finding some lamers. I seem to recall reading them and asking myself, "Is he really talking about _my_ FUMBBL?" Not everyone gets that much grief.
As far as some "respected" coaches, I think it does have a slightly elitist ring to it. That's ok, though. Given what I recall of your earlier experiences you're certainly entitled. I will strongly advise making up your own mind about such things rather than going with whatever "public opinion" may be circulating about the particular person.
I tend to agree with BP, however, that the griefers have been on the decline, lately. I haven't been playing many open games lately but I can't recall the last time I got a match with suspicious "connection" problems or a particularly offensive or annoying opponent. In fact, the last such incident that I can even hazily remember was against a generally "respected" coach. Still, that's 1 game out of the last 20 or 30.
All in all, good luck with it. After the last attempt, you've certainly got the Karma stored up. |

Although I've not been here too long, I've only ever had people drop and then come back online to apologise and carry on the game. It can be suspicious but thats the nature of the beast.

Play me, I want to bash your teams.  |
