They are getting a good home most definitely, and we all know Evil Ted needs moar orks. As of the 23rd of July, right after the tournament in Kokomo I will be leaving theback40k. (no, we still need our uberdark. -farmpunk) I will still be painting miniatures, and have taken an active interest in Malifaux, but once this tourney is done, I'm done. lol. So if you want to get a game in before September send me a shout, if you want to get a game of Malifaux in send me a shout anytime, I have two gangs assembled. All you need to do is bring yourself. Its been grand and Ive learned a lot about the game and made a TON of friends, so good night and good luck. rock on all.
uberdark/john
While I don't know your specifics I get the frustration. Next time I am in Indy I will bring my Ramos crew and you can school me Wyrd style.

Someone Beat this guy pretty bad....tabled him I bet. Way to stick with it....oh wait you are quitting.
ReplyDelete@GO
ReplyDeleteIt was more than that, as Uberdark isn't a bad player at all. His reasons are many (and I share some of that angst), but I think the last straw was some rules-bullying he had to put up with at an event. Blatant cheating mixed with an attitude.
This is a social game, so when too many of the other players around you are being douches... well why stick around? I've been there myself... twice. So I get it. It happened to me in Louisville. I've been blessed here in Indy to have a great community of players to game with.
I am hoping that John will just box up his Orks for a while instead of selling them. I couldn't imagine selling my Guard, and John has put at least as much work into his Orks. It's not like Ted really needs them. :)
Plus, there's competition coming in the form of 2 more 28mm Sci-Fi games. So I think hibernation would be better than bridge burning.
general oadious: quite the contrary you prick! ive won some and lost some. i win about 80% of the time, but since you obviously only talk in simple phrases let me reiterate, there are a myriad of reasons, not to mention I also have a life outside of 40k, I also don't appreciate the sarcastic trolling you obviously just did, I try to always treat people well and give them the benefit of the doubt. You sir, don't deserve any doubt. You are a piece of crap. THIS is one of the main reasons for me QUITTING. Pretentious pricks like you who ruin it for the rest. enjoy your little world of bullshit. you can always find me in Kokomo. I'd be glad to talk with you there. JERK!
ReplyDeleteWith John gone, the amount of people I know who actively play Orks drops to... one person.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't really much reason to play 40K for the Xenos among us unfortunately. I've taken up Warmachine but would love to play Malifaux with ya John, we should play during your 40K tournament or something lol.
crybaby.
ReplyDeletesteve: im too busy doin your mom. thats the real reason i quit. lol. btw check oadius' site. i decided to be the better man and troll his own site and put up "nice" comments. this guy is a regular stelek, without the ability to back it up. lol
ReplyDeleteI hate to see anyone leave the game and hobby for any reason, especially because of jerks.
ReplyDeleteUp here in the Twin Cities we're fortunate to have a large enough gaming group to be able to avoid the bad players, but you never know what you're going to get at a tourney.
Good luck on what ever field of battle you find yourself!
Uber:
ReplyDeleteI can say the world you swim in will be smaller for your departure...but I will reinforce what others have said here,
take a BREAK...don't burn the bridges.
I've taken year++ breaks before, due to personal issues, disgust with meta/player meta AND frustration with GW...and always regretted anything I sold in the interim.
I am very critical of events (as a TO), and enjoyed the KTown smackdown I attended, and would return solely based on your love of facilitating the fun, the game and the hobby...not to mention your running of a SOLID event.
I went through a little 'schmoozing' douchebuggery just this last weekend, and just had to let it roll of my back.
I hope you change your mind, and at least hang on to your orks for a while...until you can make a decision less grounded in the emotion, and distanced more from the ire.
and heck, see if you can slide some Malifaux nonsense in this blog on occasion, while you're on 'break'?
exitus: thanks man. :) means a lot. but i really am grounded. i made this decision back in the first week of june. i really am fine with selling them. it seems like the best thing to do. :) and come to the 2nd ktown throwdown. :)
ReplyDeleteUberdark,
ReplyDeleteWe should make a deal!
You cannot sell your orks until you beat me first. Which will happen very soon due to the level of competitive play you have risen to in last 6 months I have known you. Then when this happens in a few months, we will go and I will buy you a beer and me a coke! :) Deal?
Love you man! And if I ever find your friend Robert I am going to $%$# him alive. :)
Good luck in what ever game(s) you decide to play in the future. You might want to check out the Warpath beta rules before you sell your figures thought; just in case you like it!
ReplyDeleteIf you choose to sell your army, sell it to a friend. Maybe they will hold onto it and sell it back if you ever change your mind.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cents.
Silliness. You may get pissed at the comemntary, but sicne you're bearing your soul in a public forum:The gaming blogs are full fo people who say "I am leaving." Unless you need the moneyyou'd get selling of your army, it's pointless to dust of a hobby you love, treating it like your lover betrayed you.
ReplyDeleteIf time-managment is an issue, put the army away for a while. It's not the hobby that's keeping you down or interfearing with other duties.
Just take a break, and if you ahve to be dramatic, get a tisue.
btw gotta love dyslexia in spelling
ReplyDeletespag: how about we just play one last game. lol as for robert, yeah, NOT a friend. what an ass.
ReplyDeleteto the rest: really im not all pissy, im not all upset, i just am not feeling the game anymore. thats all. (mind you i did like yelling at that one guy) lol But in all honesty ive had a month to think about it, my feelings havent changed, and im really ok selling them. and ted is one heck of a stand up guy and i cant imagine selling them to anyone else. :)
ok, and if you beat me fair and square you keep them.
ReplyDeleteDeal!
Well it is sad to have you leave, as I just started to get to know you. We'll have to get a game in before you sell them off.
ReplyDeletespag: oh heck no. for the money im getting spag. im gonna also be able to be more than out of debt and have money to save.
ReplyDeleteYou let one bad game and one bad player/bully get under your skin so bad you've justified quitting all together. You may have thrown in some other stuff in your list of reasons but that is the bottom line. Not only did you let him win you let him push you out of something you spent a lot of time doing and OBVIOUSLY at some point enjoyed very much. Don't call me a triller cause I called you on your bullshit. If you didn't want to hear what people felt about you quitting then you shouldn't have blogged about it. I wasn't even very mean... I just made an educated guess and was fairly accurate, apparently. Then you went on my blog and actually troll'd. All this while your friends and blog followers basically feel the way I do. I just do not pull punches. My comment got you worked up because I hit a sore spot(my wife does it to me all the time). So stop being a whiny hippocrite quitter, man up....take a break but for God's sake don't give up. Especially if you win 80% of the time and are a better painter than I.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Oadius = TOOL! It was probably someone very much like you that Ubie had an issue with.
ReplyDeleteUbs. Alot of us have stepped away from this game to come back in the future, so that may be a possibility for you. And that is what matters is YOU. Happiness is everything and if 40k isn't providing that then you should step away.
Good luck brother.
I'm SURE it was someone like me who beat this guy. I can tell from his over reaction to my comment. People like uberdark deserve to be walked on. They think that every comment on every blog should be warm and comforting....think again. The real world is full of crap that nobody likes but we dont kill ourselves or quit, blog about it and expect everyone to jump on the pity party wagon. I'm sooooo sorry I hurt your feelings with my simple statement. I'm quite sure you over reacted then made yourself guilty of trolling by actually trolling. Yes I was sarcastic. NO I WON'T LET YOU QUIT AND BRAG ABOUT IT, MiSERY LovES COMPANY AND YOUR PITiFuL BLOG WAs A DESPERATe CRY FOR JuSTIFICation. sorry...I choose not to go softly into that goodnight.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO! I can't wait to read the blog where he quits Malifaux too... I guess there won't be any pretentious jerks who play that game. All this because I summed up what he said by blogging..."oh wait you are quitting". Man I have never seen anyone with such feminine sensibilities act so pissed off for nothing. Thanks for the entertainment. Too bad you don't feel this strongly about getting better at 40k or just resolving to have a bad game every now and then. My friends blog where I contribute will forget your trolling but you will always be a quitter.
ReplyDeleteoadius: oh im so GLAD you responded. bwahahahahha.
ReplyDelete1. i said there were many reasons for quitting, not just players i have played against.
2. not once in the post did i ask for pity. quite the contrary, i said its been grand, but it was just a way of saying goodbye to the 40k readers. that was all.
3. hell yes i TROLLED YOUR SITE. it was grand. ive kept my mouth shut before, taken shit from pieces of crap like you, online and off, had to deal with 4 or 5 guys saying on quite a few sites that the miniatures i painted were painted by someone else, and i just opted to keep quiet and not dignify it. WELL GUESS WHAT? i quit 40k so i dont give a flying shit what happens. as ive said before, bring your smack talk to the real world and watch what happens you sad excuse for a man. i live in kokomo, indiana. oh and pleaaaaaaaaseeeee keep going. i enjoy reiterating that your a fucking dooche.
oh boo hoo hoo. im a quitter. waaaaahh... whatever. i quit 40k... big deal its a game. i got tired of it. not from losing prick boy. bwaahahahaha.... really i need to stop dont i. hmmmm nooooo.... i dont plan on it. oh i hope you keep going on and on. please enjoy, i love idiots who think they are amazing because their moms breast fed them till they were 5.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fact that you actually were so hurt by my simple comment that you invited me to KOkomo to "discuss" , really means you think your man enough to kick my ass. That's what you are implying... So just reflect on how many boundaries you've crossed in response to my simple statement. I would never waste my time with you, but come to Reno anytime, we eat crybaby quitters for breakfast. You are a little bitch. It's not my fault you are having a hard time dealing with the truth.
ReplyDeleteoh no.....he hurt me feelings... bwahahahhaha. yes i know im man enough to kick your ass. oh god this is great i am actually laughing out loud.
ReplyDeleteI sure did hurt yOur feelings, scroll back to where you freaked out like a little girl. It's too late to act like a man now...
ReplyDeleteTo General Oaf...if by some chance God was kind enough to have you in our gaming community the locals would be repenting several times a day. You see a guy like you has no idea how terrible we could and would make your gaming life, which is appearently the only one you've got. Sure you know how to flap your gums on the internet, but here the only thing that would be flapping is our community's balls against your chin.
ReplyDeleteTake your romance over to another blog like say YTTH. I hear they accept pissholes like yourself.
i freaked out like a little girl? no i would say getting pissed at a piece of shit like you made me mad...not girlish. its funny how a guy who talks about the amazing list building skills he has and how he rolls people all the time isnt much more than your garden variety idiot. hell ill gladly admit im an average player. i mean please, a death company squad. oh my sides. im laughing too hard. and btw sandwyrm and farmpunk, yes i know what you will say, and will most likely ban me, but its too much fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's twice you've talked about people's mom. And your own friend said you lost and that was the last straw. Stop lying, stop acting like you don't care what people say when this is how all this started. You are a horrible blogger and probably just as bad of a general. The fact that you are a crybaby quitter, hippocrite troller is your problem. Like I Said it's too late to act like a man now.
ReplyDeletescotty: thanks man. :) thumbs up. btw, need to talk to you tonight. email me your number.
ReplyDeleteAnd anybody who would talk shit about the Death Company TRULY shows how much of a moron they are.
ReplyDeleteThat unit steamrolls EVERYTHING, that's a fact. Bye bye quitter.
oadius: if you knew anything about the people i game with and how we jokingly make fun of each others moms, well youd get it. but you dont get it. oh noes im a horrible blogger, oh no im a crybaby quitter. god really? hippocrite troller...oh hell yes! but only when someone messes with me. too late to act like a man? oh come on, thats your retort? bwahahahhaha. man im starting to feel like im on YTTH and BOLS.
ReplyDeletehmmmm lets see death company trolls over orks? wow, ummm no never against me. ummmm yeah.... any time i have taken on a list like yours, and i have taken on that exact list 4x i have poned them. youre cute. lol. the best part about all this, is if i would have said im quitting to make some money, you would have put up the same crap. bwaahahahahahha
ReplyDeleteYeah I should also apologize to Sandwyrm, Farmpunk, and any others that I may have ofended or disrespeted...other than General Oaf of course. I'm sorry. But when a guy does the above garbage I have trouble being humble.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes death company do suck. Close to the biggest point sink unit in the game. Let me guess...you run a bunch of power weapons and fists huh? Eat melta lolz.
Yeah ubs I'll email later this evening. This guy is really funny though and I'm enjoying his idiocy.
scotty: it really is interesting to see a guy like this and his smack talk, it makes me certain that one day he will make the darwin awards for stapling his "head" to a miniature. check his blog out where he talks like stelek and his list. heres the link: http://shotdownmind.blogspot.com/2011/06/republican-candidate-for-president.html
ReplyDeleteits awesome because he uses dante along with mephiston. its really cute. "awww isnt he a cute wittle man, yes he is., oh yesh he is"
Like I said...you are a true moron. Math is math you fucking idiot. DC is WS 5, INI5, STR5, 4 attacks on charge with rerolls to hit and wound. They kill everything orks have in one phase. In fact go back to the blog and watch Twin linked tournament Batrep game 1 where I killed gaGhull and 27 boyz in ONE PHASE. I did that with a Reclusiarch and 9 DC in a rhino and you think there is something that Lemartes and 10 DC can't handle. You are a fool plain and simple. Everyone knows DC are the baddest thing around. GW gave them rage rule and made them incapable of holding objectives BECAUSE they are SOoooOoo powerful. But these are the exact nsights into your tactical acumen that makes me understand why you are quitting. You can't even recognize a unit like the Death Company as the offensive power they are. You are so sad and the Only uber thing you are is Uberpathetic.
ReplyDeleteSuck it loser
ReplyDeletePoint sink? 20 points a model is same as plain GK troop. Thought you read the list moron... One PF and one PW in that unit. DC are fearless, furious charge and feel no pain...for 20 points a model. There are no lists like the garden.
ReplyDeleteAbout your pathetic little gaming community....if all of you quit everytime you lose and then everyone comes to your rescue to pat your back and tell you how unfair lug is, THEN I AM SO GLAD IM NoT in your backwoods wanna be 40k community.
And if you had bothered to write about quitting because you needed tHe mOney... I am sure u wouldn't have commented at all except to say that I hoped you gained better and could return to 40k promptly.
Really though keep trying... You might zing me eventually, then again, probably not.
ReplyDeleteyeah.......soooooo ummmm, the trick to playing against your death company is NOT to engage them until you need to. if i was stupid enough to attack them head on with 12 boys sure i would die. lol. my tactics are a little more sound than that. i love taking on that list and watching as i pone every thing else you put up against me and force your raging idiots to move toward what I WANT THEM TO. seriously man, so much fail. oh and i thought you were done? "bye bye quitter." ????? lol
ReplyDeletesuck it loser? pleasssseeee......to do that im gonna need some tweezers and a microscope.
ReplyDeleteoh and there is this amazing thing called a MULTIPLE ASSAULT. seriously, thats one of many ways to take on a death company when need be. suck it indeed.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you are the only ork Player in the world who can roll 30+ 6+ saves...at ini 5. You won't even get a chance to strike back most of the time, but if you do the combat result fearless saves you'll have to make will definitely kill your unit and any HQ that lived through my PF attacks that Reroll hits and wounds. Go ahead, keep telling the 40k blogging world that the DC are weak, keep spelling out your pathetic understanding of the game. Keep toting your pseudo bravado for the world to see through. It really is entertaining.
ReplyDeleteoh im laughing my ass off as you keep going on about how great your guys are. im sure more than a few others agree that DC are death crapony. lol. so lets look at the math for 10 death company, 40 attacks, of which lets say 18 go through. up it to 24 after rerolls, of which 12 go through to wound, up that to 18 wounds. sure your gonna take out a unit, but come the hell on, do you think i would be stupid enough to attack with one unit? well of course you would because we love each other sooooooo much. oh and i would totally love to fire nothing at it before my guys get to your unit. come on man. YOUR LAST ANSWER IS PATHETIC.
ReplyDeleteThat was the best idiot comment yet. As if saying multiassault with regards to the DC means anything. Actually it means you are splitting up your attacks against a unit that will wipe you out even if you do assault them. What else would you be assaulting? My DC dread? Then only your claw could hurt the dread and you'd need that On the DC else they'd have FNP against every wound you actually rolled. You do suck at this game.
ReplyDeleteAWW thanks mange. im really starting to like you. sooooooo.......let me get this straight, im dumb enough to take a unit, or two units at that against a fully alive death company? come on. seriously. as ive said before, i can always shoot the hell out of it. i have watched as i shoot 15 lootas at a unit of death company and laughed as all but 2 were left. oh noes you have FNP. i mean really. i DONT play slow footslogging orks, i play fast. i move fast, and can generally outmaneuver most blood angels lists. this list reeks of me running around it. i mean sure you could get some great rolls and you could get your death company up there to take out unit after unit. but im not gonna let that happen. im too busy trying to WIN the game, than proving that your death company are the most amazing unit in the world.
ReplyDeleteInterrupting your scheduled Internet pissing contest:
ReplyDeleteI'm not arrogant enough to tell someone whatever they should quit or not or whatever they should sell their army or not (I advice against it, but circumstances, and YES plain feelings affect that).
That out, I would be sad if my last 40k memory in a while was "I got in a flamewar with some douche on the Internet".
About Death Company, the only two uses that I have seen are:
5 guys, Infernus, Power Fist, Flamerback. Congratz on your DC dread!
Astorath army with 2 10-man ASM squads for scoring.
Oh you move faster than my stormraven? Oh and your argument is that you need multiple units to kill the DC and that is your argument for why they suck? Good one...no wait, now your saying that you'll shoot the DC down? Get your shit straight. Dante and the sanguinary guard cam kill 15 looted in one phase. But I guess you move faster than a deepstrikimg jump infantry unit that rerolls failed reserves and doesn't scatter with 6 melta pistols. Like I said douchebag, I thought you read the list.
ReplyDeletegx: at this point ive pretty much turned into a douche on here, sorry for that. its only towards this winner of a guy. the rest of you guys have all been great. honestly. my reputation has probably been destroyed, but tbh at this point im just enjoying watching the hi-jinx ensue. if anything this has showed me how stupid i can be, and him as well for starting it. i freely admit that. ive been stupid for getting into it, but im already into it, and i have this horrid thing dealing with not backing down when someone messes with me. it is what it is, but thanks man. :) that was a sincere smile too. :) so was that one. :)
ReplyDeleteAny moron that will sit here and tell me his ork army is gonna shoot me Off the table is a fucking joke. What's next the Tau gonna out close combat me?
ReplyDeleteoadius: one moment ago you were talking about putting death company in a rhino. ok, so in a storm raven. you move forward, i shoot it down, i generally have enough rokkits and lootas to do that on turn one. then i move my own guys forward that i want to have be attacked by DC. dante and his sanguinary guard are tough, i dont doubt that, but they just get hit by nob bikers or loota fire on the turn they come in. possibly throw a deffrolla at it to let them blow it up and have 20 orks come out to bash in to them after you have lost 2 of those guys. tie up dante with another 20 man unit for 3 turns. yeah done. dante DOES NOT scare me, just tie his ass up. that leaves 10 marines in a rhino. easy enough. blow it up or let it get up close enough to deffrolla that, or something else to shoot it with. so then that leaves you with a predator, W/OUT A FLAME TEMPLATE. the one thing my orks DO fear. in all honesty and this one IS me giving you props, if you play as well as you say you are, it would be a tough battle. but one i am pretty sure i could win.
ReplyDeletelol. you just only see the orks as 100% combat oriented. thats not the fact AT ALL. sure their BS is an abyssmal 2, but that can always be worked around. my lists have shit tons of rokkits, and loota fire, nob bikers to move in and shoot down a unit like death company with rerolls to hit on shooting, and shoota boys to shoot out of vehicles and tanks and such. in the end, i play a list that is fast moving, full of tons of shots, and combat oriented. by throwing tons of things at you all at once, i reduce your ability to take out my units. your biggest failing with the list, is the low model count, where as i have a LOT of different things to move forward and sacrifice if need be.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. I'm done here. Just wish you would feel
ReplyDeleteAs passionately at trying to flame me as you are about 40k. Don't quit.
it was fun. later
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on outlines on my dread... Do you have a technique that might help me out?
ReplyDeletethe lining really wasnt bad, it was me trolling, i actually use two things, 1. a winsor and newton series 7, size 0 brush, and 2. since i suck at freehand, i actually use that blue painting tape you get from a hardware store to make my lines. those two things will NEVER cause i thick line on a straight edge again. :)
ReplyDeleteMan I go play World of Tanks for a few hours and we get a friggin' flame war.
ReplyDeleteOadius, your list is a pile of shit. Any regular here in Indy would walk all over you in 3 turns max. Shut the fuck up already. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Your reading comprehension is also fail. I said there were many reasons that Uberdark isn't happy right now. One of them is BEING A GAME STORE OWNER AFTER GW RAISED PRICES.
Think we got screwed? Go ask your FLGS owner what else GW did to him. He's under an NDA, but he might tell you over a beer.
