On playing the game
After playing a LOT of games on fumbbl, I see 3 camps on here.

Those who think people who stall and play to win as well as hurt players, and those who think anything that might not go well with the other coach (such as trying to win by any means) is lame. The third and final camp is the camp that pretty much only picks easy games and pretty much powerplays for good ratings.

The first camp are those who play to win period! For the first camp, they try anything and everything to win, as the game should be played. Fouling, stalling, killing, maiming, throwing impossible blocks to get that str5 guy holding the ball down, being downright suicidal if necessary. The real coaches, who play this game to the fullest. Who realise that every player is destined to die or retire the moment he is hired. The question isn't if, it's when.

Then theres the second camp, who treasure their players, those who consider stalling lame, as it kills their fun. Those who think fouling is lame, or crowdpushing. These people aren't bad people. They just try to play a game, and have fun in their own way. Unfortunately, they forget that winning a game isn't a crime. It's not evil to foul, nor is it bad to stall, crowd or do basically ANYTHING within the bloodbowl game. If it was genuinely evil, it wouldn't be allowed withing fumbbl rules (such as disconnecting!). I realise that there are merits to this playstyle, but in general, you are attaching yourself too much to pixels. It's ok, but you are in no position to judge those who try to win using all the tactics available.

The third camp is what I like to call the spawncampers. These people will challenge down by default. These come in various forms, some coaches do it by default, some only play low cr coaches, and some play up vs low cr, similar tstr at 150-160 cr and down above that number. I pity these people, who don't play a game as it should be.

In the end, this game is played to have fun. There is no shame in losing, but giving up is probably the worst you can do. If somebody stalls against you? just do whatever you can to break the stall! If somebody fouls you? Foul back, or hope the ref spots him! But the best way to make me angry, is to whine and wheeze about how lame I am. Because then I will act lame, I will foul, I will stall, I will make sure that game will be hell for you for as far as I can manage.

Whatever the case.... Play your own game.
