Well I've been round and round and round with this argument in my head and I'm still not sure where I stand but I have learned that Blood Bowl seems to have developed over the last few years and since I last played or maybe I was just oblivious to it before. I'm talking about online play here as my foray into the tabletop game re-starts at the end of January.
I just discovered a play book called the 1000 loss play book or something (props to the coach who wrote it as that's some proper in depth stuff) well after giving that a quick browse I've realised that all the frustrating coaches I've faced, all the hyper pro star win at all cost gamers out there seem to follow the style presented in that playbook. The 2-1 stall, if it's the last turn set your players up on the back line and give your opponent no opportunity to have fun gamers. Yes I'm saying it's boring if you play like that and I'm telling you because I agree it's fun to win, it's fun to laugh but its certainly not fun to be ground into the dust for 16 turns.
Come on just score ! What your scared I might score and draw the game. Come on ! I always try to give my opponent a fair run at the title. It's frustrating, I got 4-5 players prone surrounded by players and they still don't score.
We all have frustrating games sometimes, we all have the choice to play how we want, wether that's to win at all cost (usally the cost of your opponent having fun) or to foul every turn. We have the choice not to play at all, if you can't except that players will die and some coaches turn 16 foul and others stall then maybe you shouldnt play at all, insulting people and calling them a Cnut is just ridiculous, it's a game (and meant to be fun) get over it ! Or maybe you can start a thread like this entitled "The Turn 16 Cnut"
See you all on the gridiron, after all that's what is important here. HF & GL
