You're a rare person, you know? It's natural human desire to win. I 'rage' for one hour or so, and then after that I feel fine. It's true that in the end it's just a game, but at the same time, you want to win it, and you really want to win it because you spent a lot of time in that team.

There's also a sense of 'virtual' gains... Let's think of the blood bowl characters as mini banks in themselves.

You invest time in them, and then seeing that time just disappear all of a sudden due to death brings about rage?

You become even angrier, I guess, if those 'death' wasn't even needed in the first place. (aka fouling)

I am just having hard time imagining that people would go to so serious extent to earn game at gog.

I don't, lol. This is actually one of the easier tasks. It almost feels assured, with 1/12 chances (roughly and stupidly calculated)

Much better then any draw in steamgifts.

As for the people already playing in Gog League, I can't speak for everyone, but I'lll happily consider gangfouling for 16 turns because....
1)it's different, and I can see myself having fun with it. I don't do it because I prefer winning games, and I hate causing despair. I would be seriously sad/pissed if someone did that to me, so I don't do it.

2) I don't have FTL yet. lol.

then again... i still have yet to play any rpgs.... I'm so damn busy... I've even taken to playing fire emblem and pokemon breeding while I drive at 10Km/h or less.

yay 6 max iv draught vulpix...

Sure winning is cool and everything. And i really do and think my best in every game - but i think i enjoy far more the process = playing, than the result = win/lose/whatever.

You know like which one is more important:

1) The arriving your destination.

2) Traveling itself.

-> as long as i enjoy 2) the first one doesnt matter really.

Also sandbagging (Go term for beating someone lower ranked = less skilled than you) is no fun compared to losing a match against someone better than you for example. Just my opinion ofcourse.
You know, i dont mind the killing intent as long as you keep in mind you may very well find yourself at the receiving side as well :D

"Sharing is caring" - i get to play 16 turns too... ;)

You are probably right that what you did was the only way to conceivably win the game. And I personally don't hold it against you that you did it.

Like many things, it's kind of a gray area. No one side is right. All I can say is what I would do, and I'd personally have gone for the tie. I don't like fouling unless I'm doing it as a joke or I feel I need that tactical advantage at that moment.

It's completely subjective based upon what the individual is basing the decision on. There is no right answer, just what that particular person would do in that situation.

So if i roll a goblin team next season, I'll foul the shit out of you guys. That's my opinion on fouling.




Don't game and drive, man.

btw totally OT: Did anyone ever try the BB Star Coach or whatever its name was?

That's kind of the point with a goblin team, I think ;)

you don't suffer the traffic jams i do.. a 30 minute trip becomes 2 hours.

Well, as one of my friends from India once put it ... "If you keep getting held up by traffic jams, it just shows that your vehicle is too big." ;-)

good point.

But I don't have a bike/bike license

Werecrow and I will play our game in the next hour... I won't be streaming as my internet is shit. Maybe Werecrow will stream my demise?

Two more matchdays - almost at the playoffs!

I love this league :D


TDing beast is awesome!

Here's the replay of my game with RC. http://wikisend.com/download/584374/Season_3_D2_R11_WereCrow_RCDigitalHero.db

I just wanted to add my 2 cents to the recent discussion. I'd be in favor of a total reset after every season. Either that or players would have to be forced to stick with their teams. The reason is that as its clear from the standings in both divisions there are almost only returning teams that are at the top of the standings.

I don't know how much it would help prevent this snowballing if everyone had at a somewhat evolved team, but I don't see a reason to let teams accumulate points for more than a single season. Players will be unsatisfied with their perfomrance or teams in the previous season or are just looking for a change and switch to a new team but that will immediatly put them on a disadavantage. Even with the inducement money it will be very difficult to defeat a seasoned team with a seasoned coach commanding them that probably just will be a better player because he has already played and won many games with this particular team. So a reset should be mandated or some rules need to be established that prohibit teams to exceed a certain TV.
Or certain bashy teams just need to be banned so that other teams don't have to fear being beaten into the ground and having their players killed game after game. The game against RC wasn't even really a game at all and I won through sheer advantage of having a superior amount of rerolls and just a very durable team. He did a good job with positioning his players and trying to move the ball and I got a hell of a lot of wonky rolls but it took no effort to score these TDs. If you look at the absurd results that Mafia usually scores with his team, it is clear that we have reached a breaking point in this league were a decision has to be made on how its supposed to continue. It just not fun anymore and skill becomes hardly relevant when you just bash your opponent into the ground and waltz over the field unopposed. I don't know how much player skill has an affect here (I will add to my previous example that Mafia is a very good player), but for most players it just isn't wothwhile to continue playing in this league.


Okay I am rambeling too much so here's my TL:DR:
We have to make this league fun again and for that putting the players down to the same level at least teamwise is imperative.



Also: I cant believe DoDo destroyed EA...because that just makes me be able to play in the playoffs an act of impossibility. Like come on how are Orcs supposed to catch up with superfast, superdodgy darkelves >v>
