It's a great stream, lots of activity in chat!

"Too bad you are playing Cyanide."

Thanks for responding, and I see how you might think that. However, you simply won't reach as many people with fumbbl streams, and we need more influx of committed BB players.
(though I will be streaming my scheduled fumbbl games as well, like my FC game Monday and my HUBBA game Tuesday).

"Don't give them too much advices"

Such a pity that we can't see fellow bloodbowlers as 'one of us'. Of course I do want to teach them bloodbowl. I'm a teacher by heart and by profession, and I think it would be great if the larger community would become better at BB; it would help appreciation for the hobby and provide more long-term bloodbowlers.

Sorry I felt bitter. In fact, I've seen several twitch streams of BB2 with so much bad habits from so called 'good players' that I was almost ashamed to enjoy the true bloodbowl game.

I was actually thinking of buying that one too and streaming myself to bring the same thing.

Fantastic! Keep it up! Encouraging new players is the only way this hobby can avoid becoming extinct. For this reason alone Cyanide's heavily-flawed product should not be dismissed out-of-hand. BB2 is bringing new players to the game and as such, the standard of play is naturally going to be lower than FUMBBLers who've been playing since the 80s, we should encouraging these new players and helping those who wish to reach a more "serious" standard to do so and ensuring the more "fun" players feel welcome.

Just let them enjoy the game man. Enjoy your version while they enjoy Cyanide's.

More people playing Blood Bowl is good! Seems silly to "feel ashamed" because others are enjoying it and aren't playing it the same way you are.

There's going to be a whole new generation of tiny sages bloodbowl coaches :)

You're an amazing coach and people will surely learn a lot watching your streams, i did learn many things myself (like a trick or two for turn 1 surfs).

The only thing is the level of the opposition. They are so n00b that you're always too much in control of the situation, and when blood bowl is like that it loses much of its fun, imo.

Anyway the stream is great and is definetly a place for anyone to learn something about blood bowl, and i'm sure it will get better with time (including opposition level). Keep it up the_sage!

I don't think that people watching BB2 streams would like to play with the FUMBBL client, honestly.

You are doing a great deal of work for the community, and BloodBowl in generel. Keep up the good work! If it brings just one more coach in, you have made a difference. That is what counts in my book.

Thanks a lot for the support, folks! When I made this blog originally as an 'I'm live streaming now' it got downvoted hard; it's nice to see that my efforts are being appreciated by some people after all. =D

"I don't think that people watching BB2 streams would like to play with the FUMBBL client, honestly."

I think the evidence of increasing coach numbers already shows this statement to be false. I've watched both types and jimmy's streams and both plug fumbbl a lot. Keep it up!
