Sgt. Rock Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well, if he plays 40k, he can't possibly be as awesome as myself. I'll allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 So how did you do in the Seattle Infinity tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Eh... dead last. Not real happy with the way things went. Scenarios were Rescue, Nimbus Zone, and Engineering Deck. I lost the Rescue because I was derpy and didn't play to the scenario, drew a bye on Nimbus Zone because there were an odd number of players, and Engineering Deck, well... So bless his heart, Jon Polley was running the show. Now, I think highly of the man, and I don't doubt for a moment that this was a compete mistake. There's no way he was trying to pull some BS "Gotcha!" on us. But he altered Engineering Deck to have the same strip of difficult terrain that the other two scenarios have. No low vis or saturation zones, no exclusion, just difficult terrain. Problem was, he was having trouble getting his event writeups to work right online, so when he finally did get them up, he'd forgotten to mention ahead of time that this was the case. As a result, the list I made for that scenario - which was built around a Bolt link - got pretty seriously nerfed. Coupled with going up against an ALEPH player who just kicked the crap out of me, I didn't do so hot. Had I known in advance about the alteration to the scenario, I probably wouldn't have played NCA. I feel almost like Vanilla PanO might have done better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Sorry Jeff, That sounds rough. Hope to see you at the club, soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Meh. It happens. I expect to be there on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 BTW, driving to Seattle and getting a bye is uncool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I agree. But he went with what the computer system said, so I didn't argue. I was about to drop at that point anyway, but I gutted it out, mostly because I knew I'd come in last and get my $10 back. Gift card, but I still got it back.

Raindog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 You are a better many for gutting it out! Playing under bad conditions and making it work helps makes standard games that much more manageable. BTW, when is your next Pride Of Rodina article?

Norrad Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Weather report for next weekend shows 92 on Sat and 95 on Sun. Thoughts about gaming? Too hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am going to need to get out of the house. The doors will be open. We can use the smaller rooms. We will make it work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omx8 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks to Eric, Pete and Joel for Sunday! Jeremy and I had a lot of fun. Joel's USARF didn't make it easy for my Corregidor and I heard tales of a certain Amazon biker's skills and an army of Haqqislamites on the drive back. Sorry you couldn't make it CliffsidePDX, but there are more important things than gaming. We probably won't make it this weekend but we had a good time and are planning on coming out more regularly; I think we're aiming for at least once a month to start. Sunday is kind of an odd day for both of us due to work schedules. Saturday is our regular gaming day so if that ever becomes a thing, we would very much be interested. However, we are both interested in participating in the Fall league and will be by much more frequently than once a month for that if we do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Awesome. You are both welcome back. Pete and I poured over the Morat list afterwards looking for strengths and weakness. I hope to see you both soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
