I just saw a guy throw a hissy fit and concede because his star player got killed. I can understand people getting frustrated with Blood Bowl at times, I sure have from time to time, but the Stunty Leeg is no place for that crap. I don't get why these idiots make Stunty teams, teams with average AV of 6 and ST of 2 plus Stunty, and have meltdowns when one of their guys gets killed. I see it time and time again, even in Stunty tournaments. These people need to get straight out banned from the Stunty Leeg. They shouldn't be playing Stunty in the first place. I said a long time ago that the Stunty Leeg needs a big warning disclaimer that Stunty is more about killing guys and causing mayhem than winning games and skilling players up. It's supposed to be the divisions for just having fun and goofing around. These idiots that concede when a guy gets killed or sign up for tournaments and skip every turn because someone got hurt do not belong in the Stunty division. Ban 'em for life.

I think even in Stunty people get attached to their players if they have good skillups or they spent time on their background. Just because you tell them it is Stunty so you can't get upset probably doesn't help. Also people play to win in stunty, as they should. Just with a bit more mayhem than normal on the way.

But still, they shouldn't be throwing a hissy fit about any player death in any team! A little moan maybe Smile

Stunty is like L. As long as you don't do it in an Official Tournament, no one gives a crap, as it is not a competitve division.

But yes, such coaches are lammers.

Also, and OT: I am fully in favour of "Stuny" bans. Taser the buggers!

I'm in favor of stunty bans, particularly for stikkas. 10+, really?

Yes, really. If you play against me, you can count on 10+ every time all the time. Wink

I agree with GaryT. However Mr F makes the best stunty icons on the planet, this makes his view on any stunty subject, super right and correct. Ban them all!!

I stopped playing regular blood bowl when I discovered stunty. Precisely because it's less serious. To me, it's all about having fun. Sure, I'll always try to win, but it's as secondary aspect. You're playing a game with someone else to share a good time, and the chaotic, inherently risky and quite silly nature of stunty seems to me better suited for that purpose compared to the "more chess-like" crp version.

But that means that your star players can die easily and getting mad over that is already silly by regular blood bowl standards, let alone in stunty. Sadly, a minority hasn't realised that.

However, I still see stunty as a somewhat competitive division. It's still more about winning than about killing guys.
