The other thing that is very important for beginners to understand is that you must make your easiest moves first (the ones that don't require dice rolls) because once you miss a dice roll your turn is over.

I understand how to play BB. I just don't understand the league/java part. Other then that I should be good to go.

Then you shouldn't have many problems. The java client that we use does all of the die rolling for you, so it makes it much simpler, although you should still know the rolls and rules and whatnot so you can know what the statistics are before performing a move.

If I block your piece and get a knock over result, the client will roll the armor roll to see if the player is damaged, the injury roll if he is, and the casuality roll if one is rolled, all in less than a second. Makes playing the game much quicker.

I'm around now, astrofan, for when you want a game.

[SirFozzie]

yo, I'm home. Who wants some, and what do you want?

[Katon]

I'm around. Wouldn't mind giving my undead a run out, but I think my poor Dark Elves could use a slightly softer opponent (since your least bashy team still managed to kill one and knock another out of their next game).

[SirFozzie]

V Skaven then? (if not, and anyone else wants to step in, let me know)

[Katon]

Works for me.

[SirFozzie]

game will be FOFCBB (now ready)

[SirFozzie]

BTW, I am off Friday and Saturday so if any late nighters want a game, I'll be available

[Katon]

Here we go. Quite possibly the biggest speed imbalance in the entire game.

[SirFozzie]

Shit. forgot you can't take a handoff only give one now

[KWhit]

If astrofan doesn't show soon, would someone else be up for a game?

[SirFozzie]

Kwhit, once mine is done I'll play ya

[KWhit]

That might be a little late for me.

Anxiety, wanna play a game?

[SirFozzie]

Frakin DICE!

[SirFozzie]

we're already in the 2nd half, we play fast

[astrosfan64]

This is atrofan's wife...

He is on his way home from a business meeting. He is sorry he couldn't make your game.

and
He is sorry he made me post this.

[KWhit]

Sigh.

Foz, are you guys almost done?

[Abe Sargent]

Sorry I wasn't around, I was reading in my bathtub

-Anxiety

[Katon]

Done. 1-0 to the dead guys

Mostly because Foz missed an easy handoff while he was going for the equalizer, but hey, they all count.

[SirFozzie]

Just finished. 1-0 loss, and I won't use the dice as an excuse, he beat me.

Nice money game though, we each earned 90K

I think I will use as much of it as possible for torture devices for a certain Skaven Slave turned Linerat!

[SirFozzie]

Ok, I have 3 teams. Elves (106), Skaven (around 111) and Dwarves (100)

Pick and I'll set it up, anyone.

[KWhit]

Who wants some of me?!

I'm beginning to think people are scared to play me.

[KWhit]

Dwarves.

Oh snap!

Now you gone and dun it. Pick a team, it's time to get DWARF SMASHED!

[SirFozzie]

Game name will be FOFCBB2, Kwhit

[Abe Sargent]

Congrats Katon!!! The Not Staying Dead are 3-0 in our league so far!!!


-Anxiety

[KWhit]

Orcs.

[astrosfan64]

Just got home from my business meeting are you wanting a game?

BTW Sorry Kwhitt, my boss said he had to go out with this guy from Canada tonight. He is going back tomorrow and we didn't have our meeting during the day. So, I had to sit in Chilles and eat food, while we discussed the differences between our website and our canadian counterpart.

BORING

[Katon]

I'm up for a game. Dark Elves (just ten of them), Undead, or High Elves?

[astrosfan64]

I'll play what do I need to do on my end. Just hit play game from the fumbbl site?

[Katon]

Hit play next to the team you want to use, then enter game name as FOFC1 and launch as client.

[astrosfan64]

ok i'm in, good luck and have fun. I'm sure I will go down hard. Can we chat in the client?

[Katon]

Well, the game's over. The Dogslayers win 3-0, but at the cost of two more dead linemen. I've gone and bought an apothecary to stem the bleeding; in the meantime, beginning coaches looking for an easy opponent, this is where you go. Now down to nine players.

[SirFozzie]

Ouch Katon.

So, I guess a dogslayer Dwarf game is out of the question? *ducks, teasing*

[astrosfan64]

That was good learning experience. Is there a place where the icons for the java client are described? Nice game Katon.

[SirFozzie]

I can answer what you need to know astros.

Dwarfs beat the Orcs, 2-0, but at least KWhit learned a LOT (even at the cost of a dead Gobbo) .. and the best part... the Dwarves earned a shit pot of money, 100K!

[WVUFAN]

If anyone is still up, I'd be up for a game.

[Bonegavel]

I am going out of state tonight and won't be back until late sunday (Glad I got 2 games in all ready).

Just an FYI in case anyone wants a quick win and PMs me or something and I don't answer.

[SirFozzie]

you home today, Boney?

[astrosfan64]

I'll be up for some games this weekend...

[SirFozzie]

I'm here today and tommorrow.. available now in fact

[Bonegavel]

no

'Twould be fun but I'm slaving away (have a major phone problem with our PBX system and Verizon is in their normal stance—thumb up their ass).

In fact, I'm off to see the Wizard right now.

Someone was assuming the Ogres were bashy, believe it or not, they are only as good as their gobbos. They also tend to be an all or nothing team with the gobbos being flung far and wide.

Also, beware of the Elf team (not HE, WE, or DE), some players think they are VERY overpowered.

[Wolvendancer]

Well, it seems Blood Bowl has the power to bring out even the most secluded lurkers.

The Sincity Baneclaws (say it quickly) are approved and ready to go, Fozzie. Any low-TR teams ready for a go? I haven't played in almost two years, so it'll take a bit for me to shake the rust off.

Lower AV for cheaper prices? Not my style really, I like to steer clear of the 7 AV players.

Unfortunately, the tourney's already begun, let me see if I can add you in

[SirFozzie]

damnit, can't add you in, can invite you to the group, but that would be no good as all the teams are in the tourney and can't play non tourney teams.

I know there's non-league teams available, give you a chance to knock off the ring rust though, Wolvedancer
