Sylvos Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Greetings Ordo Fanaticus, Twelve years have come and gone and yet the indomitable spirit of OFCC remains. Last year the event underwent a massive change where we combined both premiere team events into one event under the same roof. Once again we channel our inner Tzeentch and embrace change… In an effort to improve the quality of our event, this year the OFCC will be moving venues to the Hilton in Vancouver, WA. This venue should provide more space, better facilities and a better flexibility for the event. In 2013, the club ran its first Open event for the 2013 Warhammer 40k OFCC. At OFCC 2014, the club ran its first Fantasy Open and ran both the 40k and Fantasy Open events on the Friday before the main premiere weekend events. These two events generated enough interest and showcased an aspect that the club had been cultivating for years which was that Ordo Fanaticus can put on a competitive event and still espouse the ideals of sportsmanship and the hobby. This organization has always done its best to keep its finger on the pulse of the community and to accommodate the desires of our members as well as we can. In order to ensure the event’s success and continued growth, the OFCC 2015 will be undergoing one additional change. The OFCC 2015 will have the Warhammer Fantasy Team and the Warhammer 40k Team events running alongside and simultaneously with the Warhammer Fantasy Open and the Warhammer 40k Open. OFCC 2015 is also proud to announce that the Warhammer Fantasy Open will be a qualifier event for the US Master’s – Pacific Northwest Qualifiers Circuit and the Warhammer 40k Open is a qualifying event for the Frontline Gaming’s Independent Tournament Circuit (ITC). The OFCC 2015 will still be a 4 day event weekend with the other events that we will be running still currently being To Be Announced.

Don't Panic Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 this is probably an obvious clarification, but just checking: so people now have to choose between the open and team events? rats, was hoping to do both this year... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 this is probably an obvious clarification, but just checking: so people now have to choose between the open and team events? rats, was hoping to do both this year... Ditto. I'm finally in a place where I'm likely to have both the flexibility and the money to be able to make it down for the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvos Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes, players will need to decide if they want to participate in the singles event or the team event for both 40k and Fantasy this year. Friday events will hopefully be more narrative and single event driven like the Opens last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes, players will need to decide if they want to participate in the singles event or the team event for both 40k and Fantasy this year. Friday events will hopefully be more narrative and single event driven like the Opens last year. I really like this change. There were a lot of people scrambling to find a team during the 3 months prior to the 2014 event. Is there a chosen date for the decisions to be made?

WestRider Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That is a good point. As much as I have always enjoyed the Club Challenge, I may just go for the Open to save the hassle of trying to find a team, since I haven't had a regular Gaming Group for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't Panic Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 i get to start the complaint thread MUWAHAHAHA!!! jk its more of a 'thought' for the future. i may be in the minority, but as much as i love a huge geek-loving event id rather have more opportunities for a one time a year event in our area. especially for those that play both of the GW platforms, fantasy and 40k, they essentially have to choose not only which game system but also what type of event(fun team vs competitive). just a suggestion but making it a 2x a year event(not necessarily close in time) seems like the most logical way to go imo. obviously cost more but if you have one in the spring and fall you could plan for both. have a 40k open/fantasy team and then vice versa for both events. i think you would get a similar turnout to both events and everyone would have a blast... just some food for thought . like the rules set john, keep up the good work! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I may consider the open... just to be flexible. Also - any interest in putting together an Apoc game/event somewhere in those days (thinking thursday friday). not looking for participants - but more of a gauge of interest. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 ohhh was there just one last year? cool cool - ok. Were the requirements the same as the Team event? I only did the team event last time. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intrizic Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 There are some pretty dedicated 40k players are Mugu Games in Everett, WA that I would like to share this event with. I am seeking permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Whilst I personally am disappointment with both events (team and open) on the same day, I get it. What I AM concerned with though is the ITC aspect for 40k. I, respectfully, hope that the HoG will discourage douche-bag gaming at this event. I heard lots of horror stories for last week's TSHFT about players, TOs, terrain and non-painted armies. Ordo would take a big blow to its reputation if similar issues were to occur.

pretre Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think the idea is to get all the douche-bags to go to the open and all the non-douche-bags to go to the team event. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hopefully the second is true, but the first will not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm torn as to playing … which event… etc. less issues with playing in the Open though. But I am thinking about planning something like Apoc on friday though… or even Thursday -into friday. and then just hanging out the rest of the time. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvos Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think the idea is to get all the douche-bags to go to the open and all the non-douche-bags to go to the team event. :) FFS no. The players that wish to play in a less list restrictive environment may play in the Open, while the Team event is for various clubs to play and compete against each other.
