Bamboozling at the Highest Levels

So I don't know anything about loaded dice but I do know something about someone saying, with great conviction, that yes I get a 3++ or something of that nature.

This is a funny game, even guys that host podcasts get a rule wrong from time to time, but I must say nothing ruins a tournament for me like being cheated. We call it bamboozling here to be nice. The example of saying my character has a 3++ when he really has a 4++ is a strange one as it is easily rectified with a quick check of the codex, but for some of us it is enough to know our own rules without knowing our opponents.

Note that I am not talking about subjective issues like whether or not you get a cover save, are obscured, or what.

The irony here is that Steve Turner will try to bamboozle you occasionally. Especially when the game is narrative and there's no prize support on the line. :P

I like the point of -if the game doesn't finish 4 turns then it is a loss for both.

Although this might penalize one player..

Oh minimum of 4 turns. Yeah sometimes it's unfair to one person when the other person takes forever but there is a certain amount you can do to get them to play faster. You just gotta be on them without being a dick.

I'm just surprised that there's been a post up for 3 hours with the word "bamboozling" in the title, and CRP hasn't made a comment yet ...

Quasar once told me " Son, sometimes a man has just gotta hustle and don't have time for no dilly dallying or lingering."

I don't think he was using hustle the way you're trying to right now...

Hustle- busy movement and activity.

Now, he may have been referring to the act of bamboozling or he may have been speaking about earning cash in an illegal way or he may have just meant that sometimes a man has to focus on his work. Quasar could be kind of an enigma at times.

Oh I'm aware of what you meant. That's my point, sometimes ain't nobody got time for screwing around when there's earning cash in an illegal way to be done.
