First game, thanks to Silent_Hastati
This blog is more a message to the guy who played with me my first match on this web-site.
I want to thanks Silent_Hastati for accept my request. And also I want to say sorry, because while you were on phone, I skipped the turn thinking you had some connection problems (I was just trying to end the game).
In the end, Silent_Hastati won, as it should always have been.
I am writing here, because I don't know why, but I can not chat. I tried many times in many ways, and I was not able to send any message during the game.
I am sure it's my PC problems, not the programs. I will see if I can fix it as soon as possible.

No problem man. You weren't supposed to do the skipping thing because of AFK, there's a procedure in the rules for the admins to cancel a game in progress if they are gone for a significant portion of time, but no worries.

As to the chat issue, no idea. Maybe a java thing? I'm not versed in java's workings myself so I wouldn't be able to troubleshoot it.

Lastly, you should read the Art of Blocking. Will help you not get crowded into the midfield brawl like you got in the match. Those red 2dbs, while phenomenal dice results, should not have been something you found yourself needing to do.

check out this link: https://fumbbl.com/p/notes?op=view&id=2260
halfway down is the 'TAOUCH of BB' and 'Newbie tips for BB' I think those are the articles Silent_Hastati is referring to.

As far as the chat, I know some coaches have the chat window cut off on their computer and can't chat. Not sure if there's a solution, but welcome to FUMBBL!

my solution is bringing the task bar from to bottom to the side before starting the game. This way you have more space and the chat window will also appear.

Click 'help' look for known issues on the top right side area, then find the chat topic. There is lot's of info there and unless you're on a tiny laptop with poor resolution; you should be able to fix the chat problem.

Really when you have time, you should have a good look through the 'help' section.

Rbthma, That's a great link but I couldn't find it anywhere in the help section. Thinking it would be useful for newer players if it were in the main help section somewhere

Or maybe you want to join the 145 club, where new coaches can get to know the site and game.

@paradocks yeah I suspect it's a link to akaRenton's notes, or Throweck's as I seem to recall bookmarking it for the 145 League. I don't know where the pages are hidden though...seems to be somewhere under the 'help' section but I couldn't find them.
