Rumbles STATS! (Applications OPEN, 24/7)
After discovering this page that, amazingly, still works, it felt right to honour whoever made that ancient code by doing another deep dive into the Rumbles Meta, arguably one of the most enduring and competitive environment in all of FUMBBL.

Some regulars have been around since the very beginning, and some have risen to the top in a very short span.

Here's the breakdown of winning teams, by roster:

Shambling Undead6962810,99%

Imperial Nobility0530,00%


EDIT: thanks to Christer we got rough attendance numbers and subsequently a winrate column. It's not 100% accurate, because of reasons, and so it's not a prime candidate to be kept up to date. The rest of the blog post could see updates in the future.

The first 4 rosters almost make up half of the wins, and there's still one team that frustrates all attempts: Nobility! Soon to be joined by Gnomes? Maybe they'll turn out OP enough to assert dominance on the Rumbles.

What about the most succesful coaches?

Listing just 11 because of reasons, but you'll be surprised to know that 258 coaches have won at least one of the 577 completed rumbles. Yes, I'm told RRR582 has almost been completed and kicks have gone to the Orcs, but that has yet to be uploaded, so enjoy the sneak peek from the future.

Where's the variety, people grumble. Anyone can get a win with Orcs! And, of course, it was supposedly super easy to rack up wins with Snotlings in the Star Era, but what about the junkies hunting for that elusive Goblin win and suchlike?

No big changes or surprises at the top there. Some coaches drop out of view, some rise due to more diverse picks.

But Java, I hear you say, you said there's been 577 completed rumbles so far, and that the last one is RRR582, does that mean there are 5 ongoing rumbles that predate RRR582? Well, my imaginary friend, that isn't the case if you care enough to check. The truth is much more misterious and shrouded in the mists of time. You see, way back in 2011, when the Rumbles were still being numbered with Roman numerals (as it is proper and good for any numbered competition!) a few were apparently skipped.

In fact, RRR184 to RRR188 do not appear in the record. Razmus puts forth the case that CLXXXIII (183) was followed by CLXXXIX (189) instead of CLXXXIV (184) and nobody noticed, or if they did, they didn't think it right to go back and rename everything. Christer suggested to check the dates of the finals, and as predicted, the finals of RRR182 and RRR183 were followed shortly after by the finals of RRR189 and RRR190. The alternate hypothesis that the "ghost rumbles" happened and were lost in the databse isn't supported by the timeline.

Therefore every Rumble since then has had a number that is 5 higher than what would be correct. RRR600, the centennial rumble with unlimited size and open only to previous RRR winning coaches, will actually be the 595th! Ouch! Unless...

We could have 5 LEAP RUMBLES to correct the mistake!

They could be called just that, Leap Rumble 1 to 5, or have the original Roman numeral as a throwback, or a combination of the above. And they could be as any other rumble. Or they could have a special gimmick. Since we are getting a fifth stunty roster, we could have each one of them open only to teams of that one particular roster. Or they could be, as an exception, allowing Star Players again, for a limited time. Plenty of options.

Why are you trying to make me wear that long-sleeved shirt with leather straps? Not sure it's my fit TBH.

@ Java : instant 5-star rating, as usual!

About the leap RRRs: what about an Imperial-Nobility-only rumble? They'll eventually get the love they don't deserve!
Posted by DoctorMidnight on 2024-03-20 10:08:15
By "5-star", I mean 6, of course.
Posted by MerryZ on 2024-03-20 15:15:17

Sounds good this rrr. So what hours are applications open?

I will not rest until I have completed the RRR cycle with Slann.
Posted by Java on 2024-03-21 19:32:04
I'm open to considering monetary offers for my Slann trophy
