Angry thread of angries about Lists

[Terr]

no, i get the point. people are upset due to the list that some people have run in the past. it is a hobby. no one plays this game to get rich, so therefore, it is all hobby. if you play a special character or make a list that your codex allows then by all means, play that list. there are reason things cost points, and the points allowed limits some list people play.

Actually, people DO play this game to get plastic. And they play it to win, at the expense of their opponents fun.

And to suggest GW's point values are anywhere near balanced is laughable.

As someone not familiar with the local scene, you don't get the point. You have missed it entirely. There are 2 kinds of tourneys HEAVY-bring the best list possible and HOBBY-bring units that you normally don't play. HOBBY is supposed to be more relaxed, less cut throat and as such the the players list should reflect it. There are certain builds that are appropriate for this style tourney. The guys that want to bring their best list have a tourney every month to do as they please. It isn't too much to ask them to tone it down every other month for an EXTRA tourney. If they don't want to run a hobby list they don't have to play.

Ok cheater sounds about right, rather be stupid and a dumbass than a cheater.

More disrespectful than accusing some one of cheating on a forum, without having the balls to say a word to that person's face? More disrepectful than talking **** about some one the minute they get out of the car that you've been in for over an hour? Really? Because if I really set my mind to it I think I could get more disrepectful than that.


Do you know why I distanced myself from your little group? Because you all talk **** about each other and never say anything to the person you're talking about. Do I talk ****? Yep, I do and I'll say it to you're face, too. There's too much drama in your group, have fun playing with each other.

BTW, this thread was not about Josh, me, or any other single person until Brian brought it up. Good job, Muppets of Wore(out).

I am sorry if you felt alienated, that was never and is never my intention to anyone. I am always friendly and try to make sure everyone is having a good time. I try to help new players by unloading minis I don't use or selling things cheaper to other players to help expand their collection if I am not using them. I try to treat the DL staff to snacks and drinks whenever they host events for us. John, you and I have had good laughs and conversations about the game without arguing or trash talking. Bottom line, this hobby is my thing I get too enjoy away from all the stresses of work and life, and it is slowly becoming more stressful than work, which is terrible. I know sometimes my competitive nature can come out in a game in turn 5 by trying to stretch 1 unit to claim two objectives or lashing a squad off another... I am not trying to ruin someones game I am just trying to out maneuver or strategize my adversary.

I understand the difference between Hobby/Heavy and that if I don't want to participate in the Hobby event I don't have too.. after all there is still a monthly "anything goes" tournament to satisfy my WAACness.

Also, I don't recall ever bad mouthing my friends, I hope you weren't referring to me.

Dude, I like you guys, but if I could put you all in time out I would.

Edit: Turns out I can. But I won't. But this shiz needs to be locked down holmes. Cause it's crap.

Opening up a c*ck fighting arena isn't the way to save roosters.

Better to have everyone blow off steam in a another thread than **** up this one.

Deleting/locking doesn't make the anger goes anyway, it just boils under the surface now and grows. Just let everyone get it out.

[Hogleg]

Yeah, well people can speak to one another like humans, or take it to PMs. I for one don't want to hear or participate in their ad hominem bullsh!t, it's not good for the community and it doesn't solve anything.

Finally a thread worthy of the Pit!
