On picking:
I generally take any challenge that is within +/- 40 of both TR and TS. With certain fragile teams, and teams recovering from a bad smashing I might be a bit tempted to shy away from another bad smashing right away. But otherwise challenge away. Time (RL) permitting, I'll take it up or at least make a counter-offer.

<ginger_ninja> !8ball is Excellence really excellent?
<Nuffle> ginger_ninja: Absolutely!

A little bit about playstyle:

I foul if I feel the reward is worth the risk. I dont care for destroying teams or fouling just for the sake of fouling. But if I feel a foul is likely to remove an otherwise dangerous player from the pitch or might otherwise help me win the match, then expect to see the boots come out. I keep Dirty Players for that same purpose, wether I have 1 or 15 on a team.

I crowdpush if the chance presents itself and I feel the reward is worth the risk. And removing a player from the field is almost always worth the risk, so you might want to stay clear of the sidelines a bit if you strongly dislike surfing.

One-turning is a viable tactic but bores me. Feel free to try if you like, but expect me to do my best to kill your one-turner.

Stalling is a viable tactic, but can be boring, I know. I stall under the same conditions I foul. When I feel it will help me win the game.

In-game chat. It's there to be used. I tend to be pretty chatty in game unless I'm tired, something is distracting me, or I happen to think you're an annoying <insert your favourite expletive> whom I'd rather not be playing. If I'm kinda silent in-game, feel free to ask which of the 3 apply.

Cherrypicking and "ducking matches" is something I generally dont do alot. But if you challenge my soft team with a basher team... and that team is also more than a little stronger, then prepare me to make a counteroffer that I feel is a little more fair.

On a final note I really dont like chaos dwarves. I think they're a stupid silly race in Warhammer, in Blood-Bowl and on the miniatures. I love the idea of evil dwarves but feel the chaos dwarves are a bungled up job of creating them. Therefore I'm far more likely to not want to play them, than any other team.

If the above playstyle comments go against your idea of "playing correctly" then make use of the open system of fumbbl and play someone else. If you dont like my playstyle but drew me in a tournament: Ha! Tough luck for the picky!
