If I hate your gut I'd foul hoping to get sent of and kill your player, thus ending a horrible game with style! :wink:
Great answer; I rest assured that my chances of winning against you are slightly higher than I expected :)

I never foul, although I play orcs.
It's part ofthe game, I know, but I think it's just a poor attempt to damage your oponents team. There's no fun in it.

I wouldn't. I only foul because of retaliation or when there is an extremely annoying player lying prone. Anyway, I have seen sooo many odd things happen in the very last turn (interception with AG1 or a double-pow result when throwing a 2D-block-opponents choice) that I wouldn't risk losing because of one dice roll roll (hey 16% is quite risky)

Always score if you can! Especially when you dont have to roll a single dice!

Those unnecessary blocks and fouls can cost you the game!
And the best part - the BB-god will have a good eye on you and your opponent will be grateful :wink:

Greed seems to be my downfall in the past and it had cost me a few games, so no I would not foul.

As a Dark-Elf player what can be better then wathing the player sweating when kicking his players ass? :lol:
Losing a game is one thing, but fouling is a part of bloodbowl not always a balancing of percentage 2 me ;)

Depends on the team I play as dwarves and other bashy teams I tend to foul as I feel its fits in with the character of the team. I also tend to foul if I know I cannot win.

ooops read it wrong. I voted foul (thought score was 1-1 going into OT on turn 8) but I would not foul. Take the score.

been in that situation...

a one dice block off the filed, with a guy with block i'd do if i had a RR.
but not a foul or the same block without a RR.

1 in 6 of loosing the game there and then, for 1 in 6 (or more with DP) of making the 2nd half easier.

touchdown...

In 98% of the cases I wouln't foul.

The exception could be being sure that in the overtime I'm surely going to suffer too many casualties.

In this case (if the overtime could mean being trashed) I'd go for the foul...but in any other, I'd prefer the 3 SPPs of the TD and the chance to get a victory.

I would not take a foul ahead of the chance to score, had my fingers burnt to many times

I wouldn´t do it. I´m too scared about the dice in the very last turn. They seem to get crazy. 8)

Never waste a TD with any risk. (pretty much ever!)

But do you think it would even matter? Most if not every OT i have played was won with a coin toss, certainly not a crucial man in turn 8 foul. I honestly cant see you gaining much at all from it and actually pointless if you think about it this way.
