UnderEmpire Blood Bowl league?; Polling interest for FUMBBL league

SUIT UP!

Since I apparently have no right(s) to post in the Wargaming forum, I guess I post it here instead...

Cross-post from the UnderEmpire:

With the upcoming re-release of various Specialist Games, we also see some much-deserved Grandma Wendy support returning to Blood Bowl.

Obviously, yours truely has been supporting the game for many, many years, but as it's now 'officially' a game again ( :rolleyes: ), it will most likely generate a new influx of coaches. So, in support of both communities (this one and Blood Bowl), I was wondering whether there would be interest here to be playing an all-Skaven Blood Bowl league over on FUMBBL.

Why FUMBBL and not Cyanide's Blood Bowl 2?
Aside from me not having bothered buying Blood Bowl 2 after having bought the first edition, skipped the legendary edition and buy the chaos edition, the main benefit from using FUMBBL is that it uses a Java client (that everyone tends to have), and you not needing anything more then that... well, aside from a basic understanding of the game mechanics, obviously. (plus, it doesn't cost anything to play on FUMBBL itself, apart from any donation you are willing to give for the upkeep of the various servers that keep FUMBBL running)

What would the league mean for you as a coach / member / player?
Ideally, I'd be looking at a round robin set-up, where everyone plays each other once. With one round per two weeks, it gives the league the option to play over various timezones (US, European and Australasian). Aside from the messaging on FUMBBL to ensure people don't forget to schedule their matches, I (assuming noone else really, really, really wants to be commissioner) will post round updates here to also keep those that don't want to / can't play up to date on whatever happens on the Blood Bowl pitch.

So;
Would anyone like to join the brawl on the pitch?
Any specific questions beforehand?

Can a game be played over a few days (i.e. logging in 2-3x/day to make your next play) or does a game need to be played out in one go?

If the former is possible, I would be game. My old mac never seemed to want me to have access to FUMBBL, but my (work) laptop might be more amenable.

Pending those two things, I will likely be the coach with a Nurgle team. :X

FUMBBL is a turn-based client but generally you'll be playing the entire game at once. You're thinking of play-by-email which is a different client allowing time-delayed games.

Aye, you play the game all at once, but in my experience, they don't take long at all. Most of my games have been an hour or under, once you figure out the UI. :P

Ignorw what? Now im suspicious.... Lynch him! Its the only way to ensure safety!

On another note, ive used fumbbl before, but much prefer bloodbowl 2 (or 1) as well. That said, they arent free access, so this would only be viable if ppl owned it or wanted to own it.
