T16...
Gentlemen. I want to raise my word against an increasingly annoying activity in T16, which is...


Passing and doing TD with GFIs!

Not everything that is permitted is right. Just because it is permitted, you shouldn't do it every time you see the possibility for it.

I cannot count the games I lost because of this. I also feel a bit offended when it happens, and I'm sure other coaches have similar feelings.

So please guys, show some respect, show the morality of the game. Ah and yes, don't forget to foul instead :-)

You know what the worst thing about T16 is? You've just scored to secure the win, and your opponent has 1 turn left, but can't manage a OTT. So what do they do? They waste your time picking up the ball and passing it to another player, knowing full well they can't score. It is pointless SPP farming. Please stop doing it folks.

Yes, let's stop trying to make our teams better.
Posted by albinv on 2014-08-15 21:55:18
Yeah, nice rhetoric move.

The difference though is that passing and scoring isnt described as something that is looked upon as spiteful/ despicable/ immoral as it were decribed in former rulebooks (i cant remember the correct synonym that has the same meaning).

The actual rulebook even says: "Attacking opponents that have been Knocked Down is strictly against the rules."

Therefore both things cant be formed in an analogy.

Nice go at semantical logic and good humor though. ^^

Thx, yeah I know, I'm a funny guy :-)
Posted by albinv on 2014-08-15 22:03:14
I may not show as much humor...

But im the better fouler though. ;P

Turn 16 should be used for one activity and one activity only.
Using Throw Team Mate to chuck your goblin/halfling/whatever into the crowd. Because they are small, and make good projectiles. It is the only way to obtain vengeance for all of the rocks.
Posted by roante on 2014-08-15 22:57:14
There is wisdom in your words, Fishsoup. Except I'd recommend fouling after a succesful TTM TD if possible, just to demomstrate awesomeness.

IT IS BY DORFS!!!!!
Posted by mrbibitte3 on 2014-08-16 02:31:31
How about macro and micro touchdowns?
Posted by albinv on 2014-08-16 03:27:22
@pythrr

Dorfs get passed a lot. But mostly before a match started, on gamefinder.
Therefore they are grumpy, and as much as they are holy and have a say on all things BB normally, sadly their power of judgement cant be trusted here!

This is really getting too complicated for such a simple man like me...

If you guys should ever last turn foul my teams and therefore give honest and upright foulers a bad name (and probably a DP less to fight with in the name of all that is sincere and reputable!), then:

Ve vill cut off your johnzons. No kidding.

These are my last words on the matter (hopefully).

We should just remove turn 16. End the game on turn 15, then all the complaints will go away.

See [url=https://fumbbl.com/p/match?op=view&id=3588487]this game[/url] for a prime example. And for context, a win would have made me SWL Premier League champion (while the resulting draw relegated *both* of us). If only you'd written your blog earlier this travesty may never have happened!
