[Craeat 165]

I have not seen any information on the Friday 40k Event. Is there one and what are the details for it?

As far as I know, there is no Friday 40k this year.

That would be my bad!

I fully intend to run a Friday event and i have not figured out all the details yet!

Do you guys have a desire to do another 2v2? Betrayer style event? I can totally steal from evil_bryan's format if necessary.

[PumpkinHead 1,703]

Don't do betrayer, but another title would be cool. 2v2 is always fun. Have people bring 1k lists and pair them at random for their teammate and make them fight another random 2v2, but make sure to have wacky board rules and missions, like at the Harvester.

[Edosaurus Rex 185]

I think a 2v2 (1k per player) would be awesome!

Waiting with bated breath for the information so I know what to pack for the trip..........

Bonus points for proper use of bated.

actually 1k 2v2 sounds quite nice. Should actually be a faster gamer too.

[DisruptiveConduct 1,980]

[PumpkinHead 1,703]

They are actually slower as you tend to discuss the team tactics more and while you would think the players could pair off for shooting and saves inevitably for target prioritization it bottle necks at one player. 

 

That said they are a blast, we just did one locally so this is from experience.

thoughts on a lightning fast three round starting at 8pm and ending at midnight?

or prefer a midday start?

[Craeat 165]

I would say a mid day start as an 8pm start would either have very short rounds or run us into prime beer time.

[Gorgosaurusrex 275]

I would prefer a midday start for sure!

 

Though midday is also prime beer time if you try hard enough 😉

[PumpkinHead 1,703]

Mid day start I think is best. Plus it gives us a chance to pre funk for the evening.

[VonVilkee 2,681]

Hmmm what is mid day to all of you? That is my travel day and I'm organizing a carpool... should be having a team meeting soon to hash out some deets. If Iknow when this is starting maybe I'll push to show early enough for it. 

[Gorgosaurusrex 275]

A start time between noon and 3pm would be considered "mid day" to me.

[DisruptiveConduct 1,980]

k

[VonVilkee 2,681]

3 ish would be awesome. My carpool of three will be heading down Friday leaving reasonably early. We are all down to play!

Pfffsh. I can think of better uses for bated...

 

Anyway

How do we do lightning fast rounds? 

It sounds like a good format, but I don't see how we do 2k games with 4 players in approximately 75 minute rounds. 

 

[Gorgosaurusrex 275]

I think we could do a singles 1k event with 75 minute rounds. 1k goes very quickly with two players total.

 

If we wanted two player teams and 75 minute rounds it would have to be closer to 500 points per player I think.

 

Or there could be some crazy sudden death objective that changes each round. Like the first team to get within 3" of an objective in the opponents deployment zone wins the game. Or the first team to kill a nominated character belonging to the opposing team. It would be terribly unbalanced but terribly fast 😉

[PumpkinHead 1,703]

Crazy missions are always the best!

[DisruptiveConduct 1,980]

i like these the ideas. working on something similar.

Would this be hosted in the same hall? Would it interfere with any setup being done for the 40k event?
