  1. @steve Yes it's me. Your list was unique too. Don't see flying Chiefs often. I enjoyed our game too and was glad to get your favorite opponent vote! @jim They come from a company called base x of war
  2. Awesome event. I think the venue could handle a 2 day event as well. I had a great time. Loved the swag! But the best part is no one was hating on my chaos dwarfs!
  3. Which leads us to how sports is determined.... The circle is complete, you are now in the matrix, don't get lost you'll end up like me.
  4. Ok maybe I'm being naive here but isn't epic bitching likely due to there being a problem? Also the action of not releasing a way of sweeping said problem under the table rather than dealing with it? Do you work for theAmerican government? Full disclosure sir! Well the math is there. Review, don't review, there is no dismissive.
  5. It's math people, I know it's been awhile for most of us, but trust me, don't argue with distaff he's and accountant!
  6. But assumptions are all we can be left with when everything is behind closed doors. Were the 1's over ruled? Are those players not welcome back? These questions are not unwarranted when things are not widely known. If a questioned is being asked sometimes before an answer is given it is best to ask why the question is being asked.
  7. side note, under swedish, it appears to be 100 starting score per 800 game points, I suppose at 400 points above 2400 once could just add 50 more starting points and then test what range you want for armies the fall in by making a few list.
  8. My chaos dwarf list was a whopping 11.4 I'm the bull centaur guy The other chaos dwarfs all made one very big mistake when making there lists for OFCC, they took 3 or more war machines and a kadaii destroyer. Gentlemen, you know thats is not fluffy! You shoot them down and then they fight the destroyer, tsk tsk, but then again, I was told my list was too hard, no pleaing them all.
  9. Well there appears to be a flaw in the system, lets see where it is .... ok if you won your games you appear to have done poorly in the sports category, could it be that people that lose there games use sports as a way to strike back at people? I'd say so. I got 2 favourite opponent pins and I was playing the dreaded chaos dwarves lol. Listen the sports system is so clearly dis functional something needs to be done about it. You can not mark down someone for sports because of the list they are playing, the list raters approved it. You can not mark someone down for sports because you dice were bad You can not mark someone down on sports because you yourself are a bad sport and conceded the game in anger Yet I have a strong suspicion that these things are happening, I don't even think they are happening to me. I mean look at team Ordo Alpha, clearly a team that comes from the very origins of OFCC it's self is the last place team in sports. Something doesn't feel right. I had 3 close contested games and 2 blow outs. Of the 3 close games I broke bread and win with John and mosses, and the last game I already have a grudge match sent for hamslamwhich with grayson in bellingham. The two blow outs I was talkative and empathetic to my opponent, however I did not disrespect them by trying to throw the game in order for them to feel better, I feel thats a bigger insult. One of my opponents even conceded his game turn 3 and i still gave him a 4 for sport because his dice were so bad and he didn't flip the table or call me names (he did however rant about chaos dwarfs for no reason) I suspect both these players likely marked me down and with no justification. So when the games close everyones happy, when dice [big bad swear word] the bed and you fail charges and miscast, well thats not "the game" lets see here did i enjoy that game... no hmm well i guess thats a 2 or a 1. It's so ridiculous it's not even funny. If someone marks a 1, it should be an immediate meeting of the coaches and an organizer, A 2 should come with a brief reason why. A 1 or a 2 should be a serious offence and cause for not being welcomed back. I'd like to know what OFCC is going to do about what is obviously an issue in the sporting score, or should we rename the sports scoring system to the "Best car salesman award" or "people who are good at being fake award" My team is came 17th in sports, but thats not why I am pointing this out, I get pins every year, it's something I have observed and am reporting, I think it is a concern and as the event grows larger so will the problem is left unadressed.
  10. Horrible idea, from what i saw people struggled with the rules this year, let alone how rules in a team game would work. If anything i think OFCC needs to streamline it's self and figure out exactly what it wants to be. Merging all the game systems is more than just a way to make things easier on the organizers. it was a way to become more efficient financially as well. If they want to be able to go to big venues then they are going to need to bring in big dollars, this year it looks like entry fees brought in around 10,000 (19 40k 21 fantasy 300 a team) this will hopefully give them some serious leverage with venues. however in order to maintain this level or grow on it, they will have to make serious decisions. If you want to get bigger and become the premiere team event, then your going to have to be more open about scoring, painting, and sports. You will have to show how things work and why you are doing them, the scenarios will have to be more balanced yet still fun. If you don't want to do these things then i suggest making it a true invite only event and limit the teams to what can fit in a much much smaller venue. The more people you draw from outside of your area the harder it will be to control the fun fluffy side of the event, people will come to try and win, I wouldn't fault them for it, the bigger the event the more glory to the victor. You guys are so quick to say it's not about the rankings yet you have rankings, award medals. The event is fun but trust me it has very little to do with the actual organization behind it, it's the people attending the event that make it fun. This was my 3rd year at OFCC and it was different then the other years because there were less Canadians there I went out and got to know a few great americans. I had as much fun as I ever had out side of the event, but found the event it's self to be somewhat difunctional, from the room rates, to the obscure scoring system which appeared to have little if no checking system for abuse. I hope you guys figure out what you want this event to be and then stick to it, I would love to continue to attend regardless of which way you decide to go, but don't be naive, this was not your best year and it was because you no longer have a strong sense of self and are pulling in two distinct different directions.
  11. I fingered it out. I had to go to the downloads page manually. The download link in this thread is a dead link.
