Just be careful about what you are saying. According to Yuzi's profile on Fumbbl he has played 18 games since playing you on the 4th July. Why do you think he has played 144 games in 72hrs?

Don't be abusive yourself (not thinking or implying you are a chat abuser, but in such situations it's easy to lose the calm) and don't warn the abuser about the report, the more insults the better for ban purpose.

As my original post said, I played a match against a Chaos Dwarf team, had horrible luck and told a friend about it. Three days later my friend pointed me to his profile and said "How is this possible?" and showed me the list of games above mine. I've just had a look and realised that new games appear below the match and not above. Turns out we were wrong! D'oh! (I have altered my previous posts to remove that assumption now that I realise we were wrong)

No worries... I don't get like that at all online. Only in person with my close friends! Haha! I might say "DOUBLE SKULLS AGAIN?? ARGH!" but that's about it!

Just as long as you don't get mad at turn 16 spite fouls and stalling. I hate it when people get angry with that.

Cool, glad I could help :)

BTW nice to meet you (briefly) at Gert last weekend, I was one of the orange clad multitude on the Sunday.

Edit: Should say I also get on FUMBBL occasionally (not as much as I would like) if you see me on there, fumbbl name: 'Loki_on_NAF', feel free to ask for a game.

It was good to meet you too, Loki! I'll be trying to come to more and more tournaments so hopefully you'll get a chance to thrash me sometime in the near future!

I dip in and out of fumbbl. I avoid ranked now as it is/was douchbag central. 145 rookie was fun but I drifted out and have not found a new home. Will probably be back next year now.

If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

There are so many great UK/euro leagues. Pick one or two to start as your schedule allows. League is the way to go.

Well nice to see you are trying Fumbbl. We had a great game at the GT this year and if I am on line get in touch and we can play there.
I still use the Irc :)
Mind you I cant seem to connect to Fumbbl at the moment.
Take care mate.
