Me first blog entry
I read a lot of stuff about Black Box, max/min and clawpomb, but never write about me opinion for that. And because of that, i will write this blog, to try to explain it.

Im spanish, me english are really bad, so i need time to think how to write something. Normally, Spanish when dont know about a idiom, we screaming trying to explain us, but well, i think that dont work here :D

Let me start for the beginning, so how i find this site.

Was 5 years ago. Was a really....strange year for me, with some god things....move to a new city, got a job and got married...and some bad, got a severus outbreak of Crohn, that make me stay in hospital for 2 months, got 2 hard surgeries....

In the end, i come back home with 30 kg less ( about 60 pounds, if google works hehe ), some nices scars, a ileostomy, tons of advices of what i can/canot eat/drink and a new treatment.

So, im at home, in a new city with no friends yet, too weak to go and find someones, too weak to work....well.... bored as hell!!

But someday i receive a mail for a old friend saying ...look the site i find!!!.

OMG, a site to play bb, one of me favourites games!. I start play bb at 90s, little leagues, about 10 players, 20 as much, and now here is fumbbl, with thousands of players to play!

Why i dont find this site before!!!!! :D

I dont say that fumbbl save me, but well, helped a lot, gimme a 45-60 minutes that i dont think about all happends to me last months, only think in how to kill this dorf or how i can broke that cage :D

So i play a few league games with a pair of friends, and go to ranked!!

At first, i made me favourite team, woodies, i think i always play woodies. So i take the team to gamefinder and get tons of offers. And i accepted all. The leagues i played i always make woodies, but me friends always make dorfs, chaos, orcs... so, i always play againts av9 teams, why i no accepted now?

After a pack of games, i understand was is TS and why i lose more of the games :P. So i start to decline some offers and accept only +-10 ts difference, but still play againts all the races.

Games pass, and i spec some, see a great teams, and see how orcs and chaos destroy teams, and think, i want try one of this teams, could be funny kill and no be killed all the time, i want some blood to :D

So i make more teams, more av 7 like skavens, av 8 like dark elves and a chaos teams.

At low TS have no problem, still having offers....the problem begins when the chaos team get some claws and mighty blow.

None want play me chaos team...well, ok, teams with a ts difference in his favor of 30 offers to play, but i want a balanced game, more or less.

I dont understand why if i play with me woodies vs chaos or dorfs with no problem, other people didnt the same.

Have to say that there is pleople is here that accepted this games, i know, but well, all you know how i try to say.

And this day i understand was the meaning of cherry-picking....and i a big cherry, ofc :D

So i start a new game policy. Only aceppt games for me av7 teams for coach that i know that they did the same,or only for others av7 teams, and wait with a chaos or orcs teams the time i need to find a game.

But well, if before of that it takes to me a few minutes to got a game, now i can wait a hour and dont find nothing.

So i really start to think in left fumbbl, because i have less time. Im better and i started to work, me little son born and i the one who take cares of him because i work less hours than me wife. So i canot waste a hour finding a game.

And just the Black Box division born!!!

I think is enough for the first entry, another day i will tell about me first days with black box :)

One of the best blogs about minmaxing and clawpombs in box I've ever read!

30kg would be around 66lbs I think.

'After a pack of games, i understand was is TS and why i lose more of the games :P. So i start to decline some offers and accept only +-10 ts difference, but still play againts all the races.'.........Are you sure you're Spanish?

Nice blog. Glad you are finding enjoyment again on FUMBBL. It's nice to read about people having fun at Blood Bowl.

And LOL at harvestmouse. Though this could also have been applied equally to our Italian friends, too :)
