I just don't think a small snatch of individual records mean a great deal with BB's random elements, but a wider pool of matches against a few coaches you've both played might well show some pointers.

Anyway - we're far, far, far off point. Who cares? Shurrup. ;)
Utterly worthless sounds a bit strong. CR 130 vs CR180 would surely give you some hints.

If the equation is great then surely CR wouldn't be useless. The equation should take into account blatant cherry picks better than it does now.

A good rivalry isn't about scientifically working out who is the greatest. It's about having a bit of fun.

I'm surprised that the original point didn't get the thread locked for Fumbbl silliness.;)
this is a well known secret but I have 2 accounts :) one with CR175 and one with CR 135 :) if I remember correctly :)

Grrr... It's still down. :pissed: Would have liked a quick BB fix - maybe I'll just start smoking crack instead. I hear the crack smoking community is somewhat similar to that of Fumbbl.

yeah fumbbls been down for at least 10 hours (when i first tried this morning)

Typical.. i've got the day off work, the kids were out with their moms and all my housework an D.I.Y jobs were done yesterday just so i could spend the day relaxing and playing on the computer...

oh well... gave me time to paint some more of my bloodbowl team i guess.


Any old timers to fumbbl will remember when the site sometimes went down for weeks on end... 1 day is no big deal :)

FUMBL Down

Post by tiamo69 »

Anyone got any idea what's up with FUMBBL today?

access to site has been down since before 9am.

thought all the hiccups with new server had been ironed out & with the schools back, was hoping wouldn't be too much problem with traffic...
(now all the teachers r back at work!)

Calm yourself! :D

Annoying as your situation is there (if I'd scheduled in a days play only for it to be down, I'dve been gutted too, luckily this is yet to happen to me, wood touched), it's often really cool on the odd occasion the site goes down.

You never know what BigC is tinkering with, what upgrades for future stability we might get, or fancy new features will appear post downtime.

It can be like waiting for Christmas! ;)
