Jason Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I’m out of town this weekend but would love to get some more games in when I’m back. The next 2 weeks are wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeninator Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hey guys, Anyone interested in doing a 2v2 sometime over the 4th of July weekend? Perhaps on the 6th (Sat)? I'd be happy to host it at my house to give us plenty of space/time/beer (beer is the 5th dimension). I was looking at some 2v2 rules on the T9A website and it got me really excited. https://www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?thread/47580-official-multiplayer-rules-thread-rules-wip/&pageNo=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me down as a maybe, definitely interested, but I'm waiting to see if a friend is coming in from Bellingham that weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKerr Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I would be down to come down that Saturday, the 6th. If i am honest, I would rather play singles games to get practice in for my SoCal GT and OFCC, but if everyone would rather do the 2v2 then i would be okay with it.

Andrewgeddon Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Put me down as a "yes" for the 6th. I'm down to play 2v2 or 1v1, although lean towards the former since multiplayer games have a tendency to take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you mean the latter (1v1)? @'BenKerr Since you are making such a long journey to come down, we will do singles. How many games did you want to try and get in? Are you heading back the same day? You are welcome to crash at my place in Portland for the night if it makes logistics easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKerr Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I am down to get in as many games as I can get! Whatever time you guys want to get started I can be there and we can see how many games we can fit in. And as for driving back at night or crashing there, I will see how I am feeling after playing. Might be easier to crash there if it gets too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinx Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 How’s that taxation without representation going? Lol 😉 you guys have more taxes than in the UK now. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol 😉 you guys have more taxes than in the UK now. lol I don't know if the inter-webs supports that... For the fiscal year of 2016/17, these are the current tax rates in the UK: The basic rate is 20%, for all sorts of income up to 32,000 GBP per year. The higher tax rate of 40% applies to income from 32,001 GBP to 150,000 GBP a year. Income above the 150,000 GBP limit is taxed with the additional rate of 45%. A marginal tax rate of 40% over 32,000 GBP (40,600 USD) is pretty bloody high! The US for the same amount of money is 22%. Sure we also have state tax, but that is still well shy of 40%. The UK does get socialized health care, which I guess they dont pay extra for? So, if we look at the full cost, we might be about equal. But, your main point is still valid. We just like serving a King of our own choosing ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im kinda glad im Merican these days tho. Anyways apologies for highjacking a decent 9th age thread. One day my fantasy armies will come back out and conquer!

TheBeninator Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Yeppers, So far it looks like locally we just have Myself, Andrew and Cody. Kelly (the orc swarm) is mulling it over. I may have an enthusiast show up to watch/get a learning game in. He apparently has never played, but he wears a chaos symbol pendant, so suffice to say he is into the lore. Others may jump in last minute, but I imagine many people are heading out of town for the long weekend. Ben, send me a PM if you need a place to stay while you are down here.

TheBeninator Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 So.... Who is crazy enough to want to play a 10,000 point game using normal army composition rules/restrictions? I foresee a fairly long game, many beers involved, and a break part way through. This is just an excuse to bring out ALL my lizards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
