Hi everybody! My name's Francesco (yep, italian guy here xD) and that's the first time I actually participate in a BB community.
I used to play a loooooong time ago at the TT with friends, nevere participated in anything official though. Then I had to stop for reasons. After a while I started playing he videogame for nostalgic sake but always in single player (before I started I gave a look at some forum to see how the multiplayer community was doing and I got scared by the really high competitiveness (is it really a word or did I just made it up? XD) so I never joined the mp. I like to play for fun, with "narrative" teams^^). Now I decided to start playing BB as it should be: with other people. That's when the problems started.
As usual I started looking at forums to see what was new and I discovered that I don't understand more than half of what I read, even if I read the last rules (or at list I think I did... I downloaded the beginner kit posted on this forum by... Sorry, don't remember the nick. Still a very usefull post!). That's why I'm here asking for some help^^
I keep reading about CRP, FUMBBL, LRB, TV matchmaking, CPOMB... Although I mostly understand what all this means I can't get around to mix it all together. The official set of rules should be CRP but in some leagues the LRB is used. TV matchmaking is the most common but most people don't like and use others. FUMMBL is some kind of official league or something...
I'm not making a lot of sense, I know it, and that's the problem xD my problem at least.
So I wanted to ask: is there some kind of guide/site/place/time that could help me understand how the game is being played nowaday? How to find leagues, how to keep up with the rules (official and unofficial) and stuff like that?
Or would somebody be so kind to bear with me and explain it all? I work full time plus I have some personal projects (alway work related) so I really don't have the time to cross reference different rulesets, sites, league rules, etc... I would really appreciate some help^^
And just to finish (I know, really long post): is there any italian player that could show me where to play the TT version of the game in Italy? Maybe some official league ore something?
Thanks everyone^^
Cheers
