Yihaaaaa!
Problem with be with leagues and tourneys though... Perhaps delay all deadlines one week??
I like the idea - all the effort that was put into making the characters will get more killed, .. no! celebrated!

The FUMBBL Star Players are broken and unbalanced, one day is enough.

So what, we are talking about celebrating 10 great years!!

Posted by Cyrus-Havoc on 2013-01-03 15:34:29

Probably should be 10 days then!

I suspect we'll see the return of these characters once a year for a while.

Posted by Jopotzuki on 2013-01-03 16:21:04

The characters are imbalanced. Others are pumped up with skills and are hard-core killers while others are just piece of shit with only 2-3 crappy skills. Woodstock, wardancer with m5 and bone head? TheCount, a normal lineman with hypnotic gaze? Seriously?? And my opponent gets guys like Peikko.

I know I won't be playing for a week if this goes on. Limit it to only this day.

Don't worry, we have no plans of running the specials for long. It is nice for a day, but that is about it.

whining about birthday gifts is EPIC

Posted by Overhamsteren on 2013-01-03 16:29:52

Most of us are too old to party for more than 1 day straight. ;D

Btw I think someone needs to check TheCount's stats and skills again. :P

Posted by bobafettsmum on 2013-01-03 16:38:58

Well we know who the party poopers are dont we! :-D

Lol @ some of you guys complaining that the players are imbalanced.

Doesn't change the fact that they are fun.

Posted by harvestmouse on 2013-01-03 17:13:59

@Jopotzuki-watch the swearing.

And yes, you are right I have made mistakes with some of the stars. Some of them require playing skill to get full value from them, it was an oversight I'm sorry.

Posted by Purplegoo on 2013-01-03 17:15:44

How on earth are people moaning about a once in ten years fun gimmick?!

Dear oh dear.

Posted by Corvidius on 2013-01-03 17:23:06

Love all the stars so far. The Count is epic, a Vampire without Blood Lust +dodge -regen. Yes please!

Posted by MattDakka on 2013-01-03 17:29:02

Losing a match because your opponent has a better Star Player is not fun in my book, especially in an already broken and luck based game like CRP BB.
Fun is subjective, for competitive people facing free Star Players with great gaps of effectiveness it's not fun.
Fun is for Stunty Leeg, not competitive leagues.

Posted by Purplegoo on 2013-01-03 17:41:04

Dear oh dear, you are a moaning Minnie, aren't you Matt? :)

If it isn't misguided B cheerleading; it's being down on something like this. Let's be honest, unlike previous birthday missed steps, this is one day. Easily avoided if you don't like it, hurts noone since we all know what we're getting ourselves into before we start.

Actually, for someone so pro B for all it's issues, how is this that different? Well, apart from this isn't about easily winning games via essentially fixing it before you start yourself. If we are to follow your logic; at least this is the site's fault! ;)

Posted by MattDakka on 2013-01-03 17:55:34

No problem with wasting one day, but the OP talked about extending for a week this nonsense.
:) A week is longer than one day.
I didn't moan, I just stated simple facts and explained my point.

Posted by Purplegoo on 2013-01-03 17:56:37

Hmmm. O rly?!

Posted by MattDakka on 2013-01-03 18:02:31

Yess, really!

Posted by Purplegoo on 2013-01-03 18:03:33

I need to get me some of those Dakka tinted glasses, in that case!

Posted by MattDakka on 2013-01-03 18:16:59

The Dakka glasses are patent pending.
:-D

Posted by Dhaktokh on 2013-01-03 20:10:47

Silence whiners, I need to celebrate!

Posted by Jopotzuki on 2013-01-03 21:59:20

@harvestmouse

My apologies

Posted by Wizfall on 2013-01-03 22:32:38

It's a great event (especially Shadow my favorite).
But it seems that putting competition aside for more than one day would be way too much for some.
It's a bit sad but one or two are already becoming borderline crazy ;)

Posted by johnalex on 2013-01-03 23:25:35

Well, I think I'll have gotten 5 games in... and fumbbl days start at 6pm here, so its been over two days

It's been a load of fun.

Thanks all!
