Another thread about box
So there's another one.
I can see the attraction of CPOMB - the splosh noise of death is second only to the TTM noise in my opinion. But I don't want to join in because I don't want to spoil my opponent's fun to that extent.
I am a great believer in acting yourself as you'd like society to behave - one drop in an ocean and all that. Therefore I promise that if there are no stunty games available I will activate my blackbox teams who are taking part in ARR and the Human League Premiership.
Join me in the box with your squishy teams and embrace the Circle of Life*
*Death, mostly.

I'll do that one too :) I love Gobs - but the matchmaking TV thing always makes it hard to get bribes.

I concur with this thought.
I try to never play as races that I would not like to play against.
No one has ever uttered the words "Gee, I'm so happy to be playing against Dwarves!". For this reason, I do not play as Dwarves. I do not play as Wood Elves, Chaos, or Undead for the same reason.
Granted, some coaches probably have said "I'm so happy to be playing against Wood Elves and Skaven", but those coaches were playing Dwarf teams, so it's irrelevant here.
This is the main reason I play Lizards. They are no one's kryptonite. They don't ball well, they don't bash well, every team has at least 1 critical advantage over them, and even in the worst of circumstances, you can squeeze easy SPP out of a losing match by killing skinks.

No offense CH, and we've all got our preferences, but I'd rather play vs Dwarfs than Liz. Low-TV they are optimized for domination in the hands of a good coach. The strength is hard for any team to deal with (7x ST4+), and most teams can't deal with Dodge either until later in development. If you happen to have some Block, and get lucky, then sure, the Skinks die and Liz lose -- but in my experience this is just luck. There is at least one Legend on this site who plays almost exclusively low-TV Liz for this reason (not you). But high TV, you are right, they are fine, and even play with a handicap vs the killstack. It's cool to have a specialty.
I get what you're saying though. I've never played killer, because I have no interest in ruining people's player investments. I don't play "elfball keepaway" because it's boring for the opponent. I've never played Dwarfs (though I'm thinking of making a team!), or Liz.
This is not to say the sploosh sound isn't fun -- I'm quite enjoying my St4 MB Wolf -- but a team full of it just doesn't seem right.

Like your style Jim, might have to take on the concept myself!
