That is a great question. My guys have played 2000 points at OFCC for the past ones and have planned for this in this event. Also, they like seeing larger armies on the table. If they wanted to play 1500 point games, they could stay home and do that. I am driving in from Montana. I will be there no matter the points cost. But some of my guys do not feel the same.
We come for fun, well matched, larger scale games. If we wanted lower point games we would attend LVO, BAO, Adepticon, or any myriad of Tournaments across the country. But we come here for the fun, the camaraderie, and the larger point games.
Nobody is threatening anybody. I just said that several of my team mates were not interested in lower point games.
And your insinuation as to why we are coming to OFCC for any other reason than fun is insulting. None of my players are power players; hell, half of them play 5 games a year. At OFCC.
