Can't break out of streak
well, I decided that when I play, I was going to play each of my 10 Black box teams (ie, activate them all for the 1st game, then all but the one that played, then all but the 2 that played, etc)..so far (as of 3/22) I've done this 4 times.. here are the 4 sets:

2/2/6 30% lower than my 43%ish over all record.
3/2/5 40% Still lower, but closer.
4/0/6 40% Started with 4 wins in a row, so was feeling good. then 6 losses in a row really hit me hard.
0/1/9 5% What the heck happened?!?...bad play (as is my norm..I'm no legend) coupled with bad dice and great opponents has me at a 16 game non-winning streak (with a 7 loss and a 8 loss streak bracketing the tie). Seems like every time I play, I'm playing some of the best players on Fumbbl (I know it's not, but it SEEMS that way), and my dice are horrible. Maybe one drive a game they are good. I've had a few 'good' losses that were 'fun', close games, or where the dice weren't that bad (played BillBrasky's Elves with my dwarves, and both teams did what they do best..elves score, dwarves bash..3-1 loss for me ;), but over all the last 16 games have taken a big toll on me.. I might not play again (barring leagues and NAF) for a bit.

Anyway... I need to 'punish' one of the teams by retiring them..then creating a stunty team to help me not expect to be competitive in Black box..So, my human team is going away (didn't win any of their 4 games, and I'm not so good with humans anyway)...hmm goblins or halflings..or ogres..hmmm...

This sounds like the Patterson model. If one doesn't preform they get axed. I like the thought behind it.

Boo to retiring humans.

Goblins are more fun because they have their toys and it makes you think about how to use them for their one drive. With flings it's just TTM all over the place, which gets boring.

I couldn't retire them, as I like the name...so I just won't play them for at least a year..made an Ogre team :)

Punish the Chaos Dwarves instead. No one will miss them ;)

ah, but they managed to win 2 and lose two, just one step below my best performer, the Undead (at 2/1/1)..can't punish them for doing well. It was either the Humans or the Orcs, as both those teams were 0 for 4. :) and like bash teams more than non-bash teams

Box goes through cycles. Up until about 3-4 weeks ago Box had a mix of new players and Fumbbl vets for an extended period. Right now it is very heavy on experienced players, ie Super Stars and Legends on at all times of day. I don't know what accounts for this (preps for majors? exam season? vacation time? Fumbbl NAF tourney over?) but it's much harder to win in the Box right now.

It's funny you say that fidius because I've been on a hot streak over the past few. Elfball is part of that but still...

Hehe maybe it's just my draw luck!
