Idiosyncracies
I tend to add a bio for every zombie raised with the line, "An X in a [-url-]former life[/-url-]." (An example.) I do this even if I discard the player. If I'm not mistaken, I've done this for the entirety of Pig Sty Alley's raised zombie horde albeit most of them were tossed in nearby ditches on the way home from matches.
I never use the [-list-] tag, instead preferring to manually input the • character, which I feel gives me a bit more control on layout and is a little more efficient on space.
In match reports for tournament games, I like to put a direct link to the tournament schedule in each report (wish 1: this was done automatically, wish 2: the direct tournament link wasn't embedded in a giant list of all past tournaments for that group) - example.
Has anybody else got their own FUMBBL specific idiosyncracies? Little bits of madness that form a regular part of their interaction with the site?

I guess my projects would qualify :)

All 378 players (former and current) of the VTS have a Vault Boy portrait matching the "nickname".
But I have to admit I reuse a lot of them, retiring a "nickname" only when the player earns one of the three official awards of the team.

In leagues i usually type "original team member" or "since game XX" in each bio.

I do the same for all the rotters on my Slime Barons.

I even change the portrait pic to show how they used to look.
The rotters with no Bio are the ones that sadly I have had to hire, due to a lack of activate recruits from other areas.

Do systematically ticking all the rookie coaches on GF qualify? ;)

I used to do this. I actually forgot I did it. DAMN! I'll have to go back now and correct them...

My flailing box halfling team "...with BACON" has ever single character given a unique name that goes well... with BACON! <<<See! it works!

Just gets a bit hard coming up with new names after so many losses.

I do pretty much the same thing for all zombies/rotters that I raise on my various teams. Some teams even add a list to the team bio in addition. I always think of it as my way of honoring the other teams/coaches I face with them.

Lorebass, I would say that's a team theme rather than an idiosyncracy.

I great every new opponent with "hello dude :D". I forgot once, it felt wrong.

At one point, I started recording all the skill rolls for Hanson's Roughriders in each player's bio.
Now, whenever I roll a skill for any of my other teams, I feel deeply uncomfortable that I'm not keeping a record of it somewhere.
I might start doing it for every team of mine...

This is like assigning Team Fight Songs for my teams. I listen to enough intergalactic.fm to get ideas but the song needs to fit.

This blog should be titled idiot-syncrasies. :)
I do this for every Zombie or Rotter I raise. I link the former player/ team and then change the player pic to closely match that former player. If I killed an Elf= Elf picture. I find it very enjoyable.
