  1. Once again dode, your thoughts are well founded. I guess i was just used to doing this with my mates in TT. But i have done it on-line before and if that were to happen then i guess im at fault for trusting a coach and can't conplain to much as i was played the fool. But hasn't happened yet so i will continue to do so unless i get burnt, which no doubt eventually will happen. Then again i may have to contemplate on this more. Cheers for the input
  2. I have just posted up a big speal on my thoughts and actions with regards to fair-play and throphies under a new title; Fair-play and trophies, in the dugout area. Feel free to read and reply to my thoughts on the matter. Cheers
  3. There has been a lot of debate lately on fair play and trophy's such as Dirty git, Bounty Hunter and Executioner etc. Here is some insite into my (Danger) idea of fair play and why i do such actions. I have had many sides and find they are each suited to different play styles. My dwarf teams for example will not foul as it is very costly if sent of but i give them other skills such as MB and PO to help remove players from the pitch. I have found the same with orcs and chaos also. Now you may say i can do the same with saurus in a Lizardman team but i find i need other skills more so to protect my skinks such as gaurd. Also i like to get tackle a bit for those slippery elves and skaven etc. Also i try and utilize all my skinks where i can, some are good with the ball with extra MV or AG but as for the rest well i will use them to help remove players from the pitch with gang fouls as i dont have much MB and no PO as i like my saurus up and protecting skinks. Muscle teams need to remove players from the pitch to get the numbers advantage over teams such as elves and skaven or its "shut the gates". With the ball...there superior. Hence why they have lower STR and AV to allow the teams that dont have the MV and AG to match them with the ball useing extra numbers. For those teams that dont use MB, OP, claw etc, fouling is there way to get the numbers advantage. In particular, flings and goblins but not just them. So for prior notice to anybody up against; What a croc of .... then prepare to be fouled repeatedly. And if i cop the same, then fair enough. However; When it comes to fair play well this is how i roll. Both teams take the field to win. As stated previously, i will be fouling with some teams, even up to and including the last turn. BUT; if someone was copping a caining and the game was decided and was down to last few turns...if they actively try to get away and run to the other end of the pitch where they are NO threat to my ball carrier or players i will not persue them. If they were surronded by my guys and they told me this is what they are doing and they trip over try to get away, if they have headed in that direction i will move away a little and put up a wall so they can next move away freely. However if that players last action was to block one of my dudes or go for my ball carrier then i will try to remove them continuosly even if they are getting stunned turn after turn and they have now said they will move away, he is still free game to me as he still tried to get me with his last action. But if he was to get up and head away down the other end of the pitch, he can then go freely as he has proven he is no longer a threat and i will instead be able to pass the ball around before my final TD. This way i will be still getting my spp without risk of possibly loosing my last TD on that drive, instead of blocking for spp and or trying to foul off the threat to my last successful drive for that match. I will hold the ball up to the last turn so i will not be blocked back at the next kick-off. This also leads to the fact that there will be players left to smash me on turn 16 if i am not the last turn to finish the match. This may also be a reason why some people continue with it to have less chance of blocks against them when the final kick-off is made. But as i said; if i am last turn of the match and my oppent is running his players to the other end of the field to allow me to score and pass the ball around in the turns leading up to the 16th, then i will leave them be. But not if there last action was to throw a block or to go near my ball carrier. This is some insite into this teams playing style and several of my other teams. If people want to adopt the same approach for letting the opposition run away to save there already smashed side then thats cool. Just let your opponent know what you are going to do, now that you have read this page. It is hard and slow to explain it all in game as to why i am still getting that player, but if i am informed on what my opponent is going to do and when he gets the chance to (not me allowing him to roll over then get up if his last action was against me, he is still copping it) and looks like running away even if he falls i will allow him to leave. Those that read this may now do the same if that is there arrangement with me. As for the trophies; i am in favour of them. Take away all the violent ones includeing Xtree etc, there will be nothing for some of those teams where others get the passing and receiving awards etc. I think it adds flavour and extra interest to the competion. I thought for a bit there that i was of a minority here in this thinking about fouls and stuff on last turn etc and at the time, thought it best for me to find another comp more suited to my game style, but as it happens i think i'm in the majority which is quite enlightening. I really like this competion and how it is structured also; in all of my match's over many seasons i have not once come up against an opponent that has been abusive, broken rules or cheated. There are not many major leagues that can say that. So hats of to the management there for there most excellent work and effort. I think i may have found a home here. I hope this has helped people understand me more and feel free to put your thoughts and veiws on fair-play and trophies here in this thread for others to read. I know there are always differences in opinions. You can never please everybody. I guess all we can do is please the majority. PS: I will post a message on a few other threads to allow others to resume normal order in the Bookieman thread for example. So please feel free to write here. I am intersted as are many others in these matters.
  4. As i have stated in another thread " I like this league. Of all my OCC games, i have never played match's that had abusive language, rule breaking or cheats." Cant say the same for many other leagues. Therefor i like this community and wouldn't wish anybody to leave. But there are other leagues that do suit certain play styles such as all elf leagues etc. These may suit other playing styles better perhaps as another way to have their fun. Also Hobnail, i will always becareful in the future of pitting a dwarf side against your Amazons, even if those races go in my favour. I rember the last time that happened. U put to rest more than one of my Dwarves that match ya bugger. All i got out of that match was a 1-1 draw and a smashed side. Top effort there champ. Those dwarves that lived hit the booze hard after that match with your girls :P I also remember you winning a few dirty-git awards in those seasons. I think i can match you now at that with this team my friend May we meet again one season...
  5. I was informed that there are only 3 more books to come, as he wants to wrap it up. After the latest book to come out (after years of waiting), it still doesn't look like ending. I do hope i does get wrapped up in 2 or 3 more books as it is very frustrating having to wait so long for the next books to come out. I love it but an ending would be nice to. My favorite all time fantasy book would have to be "Magician". But the best series i've read, just in front of Game of Thrones would be "The empire series", starting with; Daughter of the Empire. A good trilogy that one, to co-incide with Magician.
