I am very much so Away!

I am in the US, on the east coast. There is a crude table at the bottom of this profile with times that I can <b>schedule match starts</b>. I expect matches to take between 1 to 2 hours.

All times listed are in UTC which is one or two hours behind the servers.

<b>Honor</b>

I play with a gentleman's honor. I will foul, but I will not foul or block once the match has been decided. If I am unable to effectively stop the last score, or am unable to score on my last turn, I will take a knee. I do not mind a brutal game in the slightest, but I find hits after the fact to be rude and unsportsmanlike. I expect and appreciate decorum.

As with any sport, any game, any endeavor: hit as hard as you can to affect the outcome, but stop hitting once it is decided. You should still be friends after, and I think the anonymity of the internet makes people forget that.

<b>Fouling</b>

I don't mind fouling, <i>per se</i>, but I find the rules unbalanced. Fouling should be a rarely used tool that non-bashy teams use help balance the bloodshed. Very bashy teams can use skill slots on things other than Dirty Player.

All of that is minor, though. My big complaint with fouling is simply that there is no counter. There is no skill to take (aside from Spikes) which will help defend once you are down. And since one is only being fouled once down, trying to defend the target of a foul usually isn't an option, since most of the team is down or otherwise engaged.

<b>Stalling</b>

I am all for stalling. Stalling is how bashy teams beat balling teams. The point of a bally team isn't always to cause a turn-over, but to stress the ball carrier and end a stall.

<b>Skaven</b>

Skaven are my favorite race (Orcs being my second favorite). Again and again I have to explain that one-turn scorers are nice, but they can't win a match. A Skaven team must either force a turn-over or prevent a score. If they don't do this, they don't win.

After all, scoring in one turn simply means the other team has seven left.

I am a computer geek. I am an ITM administrator, a web application programmer, and looking to make a commercially viable iPhone app. And one day I'll actually finish one of the novels bouncing around in my head.
