I've been on this site long enough to stop feeling 'new' to this site and to Bloodbowl again in general, but over that time I've found one big thing about the way i play; a big lack of commitment.
Since i joined SzieberthAdam's INFBowl league though, I've felt a lot more like making a go of it whatever happens. i would say this is because:
1)I chose a team without any advantage in the league, meaning there isn't a whole lot of pressure on me to do well.
2)I've put a genuine effort into giving the team some fluff, enough to give players some personality and the team a story, but not enough to get into 'pixel hugging' territory
3)I don't have a say in the matches i play, meaning i deal with fixtures as they come over deliberating over whether i'm picking on a coach or being picked on myself
I thought about how i could get the same results in regular play, until it came to me. I should try playing BlackBox.
so i made this team :

I based the team around an Inazuma Eleven theme, since that gives me access to a pretty huge range of expendable, but fluffable team members, the total roster of players numbering easily in the hundreds. By playing in the Box i hope to get a better attitude to how i play competitively, and keep the team for as long as i can into the future.
This will also be my FIRST attempt with a Box team, so wish me luck!
