As much as I'm sure you've all missed me. Isn't anybody smack talking it up this year?

I think we're all awaiting the draw. There will be plenty of Keegan-esq chat when the pairings drop, I'm sure. ;)

I don't actually have a horse in this race this year.

That said, I do kinda still want to give team 'Whales' some shit, as I'm guessing they're not showing up as usual.

Are you streaming the draw live on Twitch, if not, you Grandads need to get with the future.

Or you can just ask the UKbbl for help on the how, cos they've been doing it for years?

Probably get about 30 views, but that doesn't stop it from being the future?

I'd also like to point out that any team turning up to this event having only ever played 'online', well, that's just not BB.

I demand that anybody who has ever played a single game on FUMBBL or Cyanide be struck from the books, only hardcore, true TT players, should be allowed to play in this event.

I demand the admins take more action, we need more rules. Ban everything, unless it's 11 vs 11, with only Human lino's allowed, it's not BB...

<cough>

Jimjimanny is basically king in this argument.

One and only coach I've ever met who didn't have a Farming clue what online BB was, but consistently kicks the shit out of the rest of us who do.

Jim was #1 ranked coach on FUMBBL before they banned him for a misunderstanding and now he sulkily refuses to ask back in. :D

This whole thing would be improved if we all bought laptops and played the matches online from within the venue. Brendan could stream it and Schmee could stream Brendan. BB-ception.

Leon will have no involvement other than looking unimpressed.

I still remember the days when Cyanide players were looked at as scum in the top levels.

Times have changed, we're not lepers any more. I'd like to think I had a hand in that. Truth is I'm a nobody who can probably never play BB in Europe ever again if my plans work around.

Next gripe, just for the fun of it.

I think the southerners should be limited in number of games played per year.

We should be actively reducing the number of open games any southerner should be able to play. It's not fair to us northerners, if they play 1000 games a year, and we only have access to 25. We need to ban southern players from playing the game. Equality of outcome is a perfect model? Push that... <ba'dum'tish>

Look at team Scotland? Nobby bollocks with the big mouth wont even see this stuff, living in Endinburk, they don't even have internet yet?

How is that fair? Playing all your games against the southern pansies. C'mon, it's obvious that the north/south divide is a thing when Scotland wins ever single game they ever play?

Well, team Antarctic wins everything, so obviously North is better than south.

Such a shame that you're all such a homophobic bunch of racists, bloody southerners.

Shame on you, SHAME!

<cough>

Garic, garlic, something french like that?

It's not like the French won this event last two years running, it's a safe bet to say the French always surrender....

Just for the shit of it, I'm going to push equality of outcome....

I demand that every nation who attends this event that represents all 195 nations in this world gets a 1st place medal, on top of that I demand that every team who represents the full spectrum of 195, in a single 4 man team, well they, they win. 195/4 sounds ugly in my book.

Anyhow, I think the part we're driving at is that we should have some sort of international rivalry, but the person who wins is the country who has the most unilaterally accepted races and sexists.

In short, team world wins, so until we teach BB to an alien race. We just need to accept that PC police do actually suck donkey dick?




Admins, sorry. I'm really just in a bad mood, just blowing off steam.
