Actually with the sudden found case of ebola in texas, you sure he didn't make a road trip?  Bet he took your credit card when you weren't looking....

I don't per se.  My point was to support the points that Krieger made.  That it is a fine line trying to create an all inclusive environment of "fun" when everyone's definition of fun is well, not definitive.  That the more "subjective-ness" you tie into an event, the easier it is to manipulate the standings, or for people to arbitrarily "punish" players if they don't like the way things went.  As a tournament player, yes  I care where I finish, but that comes second to the overall enjoyment of the game in and of itself. 

I agree with Krieger...for example I think my score was torpedoed by two things: I think I was given low sports scores because my opponents didn't like losing, I joked with people, told stories, and I am very lenient on what opponents do (i.e forgetting to move or shoot etc).  I played Chaos Dwarves, so I ran only 3 war machines all different (not double magma cannons), no lore of hashut, and no bull centaur character.  My book is limited in what I can take.... dwarves and more dwarves (yes I even took some hobgoblins).  Second is paint, I know that everyone likes bright, smooth blended armies that snap the eye, but that is not what CD are.  I would be interested to see my complete paint score and whether the judges are experienced enough to recognize that the armor on my dwarves has no less than 3 different tones and 4 weathering pigments (7 steps).  Yes they look dirty, it's intentional.  Appears to be alot of subjective-ness in final standings....

All that being said....in the end I had a blast, met some great people and got to roll lots of dice! That's a win! and the OFCC crew were friendly, and professional.

were they really hookers? I saw em running around

NtK - While I completely understand your feelings and value what you are saying, with no disrespect intended I would pose this to you.  Did you not review the event rules in advance?  What was being permitted in the event was clearly defined.  If you chose not to go and review the units in those books that you were unfamiliar with ahead of time; well that's on you.  I myself completely forgot about predatory fighter in my first game against Lizards and was like "well crap, should have remembered that".  I remember back when Army books were $20 a pop, I used to buy every army book.  First for the fluff and also for the rules so I knew what opponent armies could do.  Now with current pricing I no longer do that, but the internet and awesome community forums make up for that now....so I still have a good idea of what I expect to see in a competitive WoC or VK list or whatever......

except monster mash lizards.....aint going to lie....kinda scared me seeing all that....

HeroZero. I am curious what you thought were the "Hard" lists, I looked around and didn't see much that was over the top.  The WE MSU army is a nightmare to deal with for small unit count armies, but not impossible.

Friggin 40K players....didn't get any pics of the WHFB stuff ....JK great upload...that nurgle army was beautiful...I know, that doesn't sound like it should be in the same sentence.

I could get my comp (Chaos Dwarves) down to about 10.5 and it wouldn't really change much in the list tbh....

Stupid I-5 traffic coming out of Portland.....but made it home safe....and only ran over 3 cars on the way

lol...scared of a mid-tier army much?  They aren't that good, just play 'em a few times and figure out what your tools and matchups you want are.  Not like they are that maneuverable. 

Thanks for all the well wishes....let hope I can find a home too lol

well Rudra I am available also, if we can find two more stragglers I would be happy to group with ya....why do I suddenly feel like the fat kid during kick ball selection?

My name is Jon, I am fairly new to the area having transferred here with the military.  I am up at Ft. Lewis area.  Playing Chaos Dwarves (if I can get this bloody army finished), Bretonnia, WOC and a all slaneesh demon army (who doesn't like boobs?) if and when I get a chance to finish it up.

Still hoping to find a team that could use a 4th.  Let me know....

thanks

Okay so here is a question, Nagash can store dice in his own magic phase.  Chalice of Darkness says to remove D3 from the dice pool....how are we going to do the timing of these interactions.  So CD player says I am going to use chalice, can the other player in response say he is going to store dice?  What about the other way..Nagash says he will store and CD says I will remove.  How do we resolve the effects?  Also if Nagash pulls dice out of the staff to use on a spell and the CD players states a chalice roll, can the Nagash player state he will just not take the dice out then?  Lots of weird timing interactions on this combo

I know its late, but is anyone looking for a fourth?  If not now, keep me in mind if anyone has any last minute drops.

thanks

I know its late in the game, but often so are last minute cancellations.  Was wondering if anyone is short a team member?

thanks

Okay I might just be the dumbest human on-the-line (movie reference if you get it ), but I cant find the info on how the WHFB team event is being conducted, things like point limits, restrictions etc.  Can anyone provide me a link?

thanks

Hoozah!  Reason prevails for once.  Thank you for this...I applaud you for recognizing the issues that can come from this book and that it is a Campaign book and has little place in constructed tournament play.
