Time to stop moaning
Right folks, it really is. For me.

When I started playing on FUMBBL I received some nice and helping hints not to get attached to pixels too much and to focus on the fun of the game and not the dice rolls. Pity really, that I remember only now ...

When I played my games I kept on moaning about how evilly nuffle seems to hate me. Having really counted things now (analysing some of the frustrating games and some of the really awesome ones) I realized that:

1.) overall, no statistical evidence towards luck can be found
2.) i make tons of bad decisions while playing and risking too much. as in fukushima: risks that are larger than zero will eventually materialize.
3.) players die in blood bowl. Murphy taught me that of course those with a +ST roll die first. ;-)

Sounds so trivial - but I decided to stop the moaning and apologize to the coaches who had to stand me whining bout the dice in the past. I hope I can improve my coaching to expose my play less to momentary luck (or lack of the same).

So, that's over with now. Here comes the joy. And playing here definitely IS fun.

Thanks to all of you that made and make this place so kewl.

Update: It works. Even the results got better. :-) I played 4/1/1 after this post ...

if u learnt this after only 31 games you are way ahead of the curve and will do fine. Nice to see some new people around here. It was getting a little stale.

We all have that lightbuld moment at some point or other, you seem to have gotten there quicker than most.

Its all about the fun :D

See you on the pitch.

Part of the fabric that makes Bloodbowl what it is is all about moaning over the dice!!

Disgusting attitude!! :P

Hurrah BlizzBirne! Now just pass some of that +Str around..

Congratulations.

Realizing that is the first step to a good and long addiction to Bloodbowl. You can really start enjoying this when you laugh at your +ST+ST superstar die on a doubleskulls.

I already did, and since then it's been much better =)

You learned the lesson quick! Hope to meet you on the pitch one day.

There should be an honorary badge for people who learn this in less than 100 games. Well played sir!

but Nuffle does hate you...

;)

Bravo! It's an important lesson to learn. Players come and go, but a good team can live forever (especially now with journeymen ;) )

pythrr: "but Nuffle does hate you..."

-- certainly, i have no doubt. but i decided to (try to) stop moaning about it.

finally, i hate nuffle as well. he doesn't care either.

thanks for the many comments, very encouraging!
