Feb 12 Pyramid League

This is the first go; these aren’t the permanent rules and likely next time we’ll try something different. But for now, here’s what I’d like to try:

• First games: February 12th, 2015
• Last day of play: March 26th, 2015
• All games will be 1500 points
• Missions will be rolled randomly according to 40K The Rules, unless the two players mutually agree on a mission from the 40K The Rules.
• Players who declare their participation by the date of the first game will be shuffled into the initial pyramid.
• Players who declare their participation after the first game date will be added to the bottom of the pyramid.
• Declare your participation in the 4​0K League forum on www.centexwar.com

Each Thursday morning, the current pyramid will be posted on CenTexWar. As soon as it is posted, anyone participating in the league can declare a challenge against anyone in their same tier. First come, first serve and you’ll only be required to play one game per week.

Report Victory Points from your game on CenTexWar. At the end of each week, the lowest scoring players in each tier will move down and the highest scoring will move up. The two players at the top of the pyramid for the last week will play each other for the top spot.

The player at the top of the pyramid at the end of the league will get a $35 gift certificate to Dragon’s Lair.
The player who paints the most during the league will win a $15 gift certificate to Dragon’s Lair. If you want to enter the painting portion of the league, post a picture of your unpainted models on top of your rulebook or Codex before you play your first game.

If you have any questions, please post.

FAQ
Q: What about Maelstrom missions-- those are worth more points, right?
A: True, mutually agreeing on one of those missions could earn you more points in a weekly game. “Go big” is a valid league strategy.

Q: What’s “the most” in regards to the painting contest?
A: “The most” will be judged by me, but will be sensible, and I’ll take input from the peanut gallery.

Q: If I’m on the bottom of the pyramid and I score the lowest, do I move down and out?
A: No, you just stay on the same tier, but you will get an inspirational haiku.

I'm in.

I'll play in case there's an odd number, and you'll get full points ('cause you woulda got that against me anyway).

I want to join.

But I don't think I can make every thursday.

You can play the game with your opponent anytime or place, Thursday is just the common meeting day, and when the league updates.

I'm sure most folks won't make it each week.

Only three people interested in doing this? What would make this more appealing to everyone?

I paint every other week or I would join it

Then you could enter both the painting and playing sides. With only three, your odds are pretty good. :)

I would but my army just isn't ready yet ... Like it might be ready around the end date of the league ... Next league/tournament I'll be down for though.

I'm going to try to get in on it in a couple of weeks when my schedule dies down a bit.

I think I was the only one that showed up last night. :(

Jim showed up later that night. I think you two missed each other. I would like to do it when Harlequinns come out. Gives me a reason to buy them and paint them. I just have time that is going to be an issue. Next week is vegas, then Chicago, then cali and then back to Chicago.

Maybe we should switch to an Escalation League then? Seems like a lot of people are in that boat.

who can be meaner with harlequins....

I though combat units weren't good in 40K any longer...?

I'll play.

Darkwynn said he's in too, so you can play him if he's around this Thurs.

in vegas :(

Well, Hogleg, I'll play you as a ringer. Blood Angels counts as.

I probably will not be there today. Next week.

So, no results in two weeks... should we bail and do an Escalation League?

It looks like it.
