TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

And he was very encouraging to the Caterham school. ;)


Think it's a bit daft people complaining that a club they don't want to be part off electing a president for said club and not informing them of all the information.

There are quite a few of us (I believe) who no longer have the time/inclination to play TT, but are still passionate about the game and want to keep an eye on what is going on with the NAF and the elections. I think we are all part of the BB "club", just not all part of the "TT club". I think Sann has ton a LOT to bridge that divide, and this is another instance where the two disciplines can be brought closer.

And maybe, just maybe, making the election discussion open to more of the exclusively online players, you will encourage more of them to join the NAF and play some TT tournies.

I disagree - if you're not a member you don't get to vote, so why should you get to take part in the discussion. It's got nothing to do with "TT" vs "non-TT" and never has.

The local fishing club doesn't claim or aim to represent the whole of fishing whereas the NAF has ambitions to represent and influence Blood Bowl beyond its core table top tournament base. The problem being that online only players are effectively disenfranchised because the NAF doesn't currently offer them much that's of use to them. Having discussions about the future of the organisation in private only enhances that disenfranchisement.

And misquoting the other metaphor you used, FIFA is a prime example of why transparency is a good thing :)

I like the idea of the NAF but I think it needs to try harder to be inclusive to all aspects of the game.

Is anything stopping online only coaches joining the NAF?

Most of them won't read the stuff anyway. They have short attention spans.
If they join they'll just vote for Sann0638 as he is probably the only bloke they've heard of.

Combine those with the 500 students he'll be threatening with detention, extra homework and laps of the cross country course is it even worth having an election?

I am prepared to not run against him and do a spot of consultancy for 1.3 million quid if you guys really insist on an election.

Well there's nothing stopping me but why should I spend £5 for dice I won't use and prize support for tournaments i can't attend? And that's fine if the NAF is exclusively for TT tournament players (and TT league players to a lesser extent) but if it wants to be an organisation for all of Blood Bowl then it needs to encourage online players somehow.

And there's nothing wrong with my attention... SQUIRREL!

All you really need to do is head down to Swindon with a van full of lollipops.

Could be worse, could be skag. Which would be more expensive if nothing else.

We all know that sherbet dib dabs are just a gateway to booze and hard drugs :)

Quick update, for those who can't log in to the NAF, I've done a potted "who am I": http://www.sann0638.co.uk/non-bb-cv/

I've kept the dib-dabs out of it, for the moment.
