McNathanson Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just have to take a moment to mention something I saw during one of Art's games over the weekend, which I think exemplifies the "right" attitude for the OFCC, and for this hobby in general. Art (MN) was playing a game against an opponent who was very discouraged by his games so far. He was to the point of giving up on his fully painted army and starting over. Even though their game was just beginning, MN immediately started encouraging him, explaining the ins and outs of his units and how to best use them. MN was even explaining his plans behind his OWN moves, why he was doing things, what he was trying to accomplish, and even how to counter those moves! I was so impressed with this true display of sportsmanship, which is so much more important to the growth and improvement of the hobby than the more widespread "drink a beer and make a lot of loud jokes during the game" version of sportsmanship (though of course, beer IS important, too). This is the kind of mindset that will make our hobby different from most of the other competi-nerd outlets out there: collaborative gaming, where clearly, the goal was a good close game, and fun had by both players. Kudos to you Art! Well done, sir. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy'sLawyer Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Art did that with me all the time when I played Dark Elves. I lost my games to him but he broke down the game point for point and showed me his list build and how to use my units. Nothing in this thread surprises me, that's just Art being Art. He has strong opinions but a big heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I love when this happens. I know most of my opponents and I made mistakes like crazy or forgot this and that, and would remember past the point. We would both go oh yeah go ahead and allow the other person to do it, like the psychic phase. I only had one opponent I did this for multiple times, who did not reciprocate :(. A Win for me is having fun not winning. I would hate to win because my opponent forgot a crucial phase. Haha I won because you felt rushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Art deserves that best opponent pin he got for helping out my team mate. Good job man. He really needed that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks, at the end of the game I was cornered and the game was extremely close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Kudos art. Playing the game the right way :) I've always enjoyed my games with art cause we both know he could play my army a certain way an almost certainly win, but he chooses the riskier ways to increase the fun factor in the game. Classy act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
