Concession rules
I know the rules are there for a good reason...
but after 3 games with unlucky to downright terrible dice I really wish there was a way to end the fourth game faster, when it is quite early quite clear that I can gain nothing in it

I also feel this way sometimes. But remember, not only are you here to play blood bowl but so are your opponents. Sometimes it's about getting pounded into the dirt and sometimes it's about mercilessly crushing your enemies. Think of how much you enjoy a win where you murder all the opposing players... Now consider that's what you rob the other coach of when you concede.

Go for badges!

Sometimes losing games, doesn't make you are a loser... Unless you concede. Then there is not dispute on your loserdom. Chin up sport, we all have been through rough patches.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the anvil. There has to be some give & take ..

Superstition isn't really a good basis for anything. Your luck is certainly not going to improve from concessions and your happiness probably neither.
That being said, concessions aren't against the rules when the game situation is appropriate so not sure what you're expecting. (Not a fan of those rules, just saying I don't get your case.)

Well, you gain an MVP and about 40k in winnings, plus the two completions for a skill on the Thrower. Not far off the 1-turn either.

Meanwhile the injured Loners get replaced for free, and eventually High Elves do get a few skills and go a lot better (though never particularly great, they are the worst elves). They lose a lot of games in the first few especially, and playing against dorfs is not the best experience the game has to offer. :)

Concessions rule.
Posted by Lorebass on 2016-03-09 07:37:48
Think about this too. When you concede you don't get ANY cash to replace that thrower you just lost.

But yeah, Badges.

Go play Cyanide. Blood bowl is about learning to stop worrying about losing and love the one.

If you're on a bad streak and getting salty about it enough that your saltiness carries over to the next match, you should wait playing that next match until you can look at it with fresh eyes.
Posted by harvestmouse on 2016-03-09 09:16:30
Yup, I have the same opinion as the_Sage. If that is your mood frame, it's not beneficial to you to play again. Pack it in until you're enthusiastic to play again.

"quite clear that I can gain nothing in it" .. You're looking at the game the wrong way. If the reason you play blood bowl is to gain spp or achievements you're setting yourself up for disappointment. The most enriching thing one can gain from this game is something internal; something that can't be measured by achievements or points.

All players die. Wins are forever.

When I get bashed badly I switch to playing something tough. When I get balled badly I switch to playing something agile. Try to learn from the thrashing and be the one to hand it out next game.

Just concede already. Everyone wants free wins!
Posted by Medon on 2016-03-11 20:34:01
Being conceded on is no problem. 2x MVP, 2x winnings. Yummie.
