pretre Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 FFS no. The players that wish to play in a less list restrictive environment may play in the Open, while the Team event is for various clubs to play and compete against each other. It was a joke. And now I know which event you should have to play in. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvos Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It was a joke. And now I know which event you should have to play in. :) I know that YOU know that I know that YOU know that we both know that you were kidding but I had to make sure that someone else knows that I know that you know that YOU know that they know that you were kidding because if they dont know that I know that you know that they are not sure then are any of us really aware of the joke at hand? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Angel Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 From my exp last year the open was more restricted. Where the team allow almost everything up and including unbound. As long as it was fun to play against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, for some players, less restrictive = being an asshat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexcragg Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am really sad to see the 40k team event drop to 16 teams. My first year there were 25 teams and it was great, heck there was talk of finding a bigger venue for more teams. Now with the thought of so few teams the luster of the event has faded a bit. DMB will still be there in force (we have to bring the bucket back) but I just wanted to express my disappointment in SHRINKING the event.Can we just go back to the halcyon days at the Red Lion?Okay, gripe over - now to get amped up about a new army project! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, gripe over - now to get amped up about a new army project! The event has not shrunk at all, we found that many of the members who were competing in the Team event preferred doing an Open event instead. The 40k team event is only really "shrinking" by 4 teams as the last few years they have had 20-21 teams. There will still be the same amount of people there, just some of them will be in the Open who maybe played in the Team event last year. This is not to say if we get 16 teams for 40k and there are 2-3 more waiting that we won't try to accommodate this but for now we are limiting space to 96 players a side. The fantasy event has also been moved to 16 teams and that has already filled up within 3.5 days of posting the event packets. We will see how we adapt to the growing excitement and participation of our team events. Just think of it this way. Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you're part of a team... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 What will be the new Codex cut off date? Here's my issue, I'm building a Sisters army. The rumors say a new Codex will drop in May, yeah I'm not holding my breath but it could be true. Hopefully, if there is a new Dex it will drop after so I don't have to worry about changing my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Joel posted that the cutoff is June 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainA Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Whilst I personally am disappointment with both events (team and open) on the same day, I get it. What I AM concerned with though is the ITC aspect for 40k. I, respectfully, hope that the HoG will discourage douche-bag gaming at this event. I heard lots of horror stories for last week's TSHFT about players, TOs, terrain and non-painted armies. Ordo would take a big blow to its reputation if similar issues were to occur. I'd be curious to what horror stories you heard. Sure the lists were very "competitive" as a whole, but I'd say every game I played, my opponents were very nice. The nice thing about the ITC is that you don't have to run it the way they say. You can run it how you want and still participate in the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvos Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 So I'm glad that Doc brought that concern. I will address it immediately. This is an Ordo Fanaticus event. Just because it is an ITC qualifier does not mean the same members of the community are going to suddenly turn into asshats and act inappropriately. If they do once during the event, they will be spoken to about it and warned. If they do it twice they will never see the inside of on Ordo Fanaticus event again. This community has done well to encourage strong and aggressive competitive play but not at the expense of sportsmanship and fun. Competitive play isn't a bad thing. It's actually a good thing. When you watch a sports team you cheer for your team to beat the other. You praise them for succeeding and damn them for failing. If you are like me you go through an emotional roller-coaster of anger, joy, sorrow, euphoria, berserk rage and finally super saiyan 4 obliteration fury that levels city blocks that slowly subsides into silence. Competitive play gets you excited during the game about winning and doing well. The difference however that happens to polarize communities on the subject is the distinction between winning and having to win. You should always play to win, however you shouldn't always hinge your enjoyment of the game on winning. People who fail to follow that mentality end up getting too emotionally tied up in the game and ruin it for everyone. If bad behavior is allowed to happen then the fault lies in the TO for not properly managing their event. As BigTal and I are Captain Insano OCD, you can bet that won't happen! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blustorm Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ticket purchased! As captain, does that mean my team is in? When your entire team (all 4 players) is fully paid, then your spot is locked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
