I mean I have a rep of being a good tough player. I make my game plan and evolve it to who I'm playing at the time. I played you down at your Game Preserve when you had the Tallaran. (not sure if you still have them.) Some folks I have played in the past were obviously cheating. From arguing with me over fluff passages saying this and that happen in the game to loaded dice. But is being an agressive player grounds for cheating? As I am sure that in the past I have had people think man that is just too good...he must be cheating somehow. So I'm going back to my original question. What is it that you call cheating. Arguing for a cover save? Constantly badgering your opponents over their movement amounts when they are moving less than a fraction of the space they are allowed. Large Dice, casino or otherwise? I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but at least 50% of players and most of your writers are guilty of most of these things.ZerkeXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028453559977628685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-32791571223760401282012-03-27T11:47:36.274-04:002012-03-27T11:47:36.274-04:00Travel and meeting new players is good, but you ha...Travel and meeting new players is good, but you have to consider the context.<br /><br />I first met Spag, Scottydon't, Justin, and the rest of the Games 2D4 crew at 'Ard Boyz. Where we all promptly got in a big argument about some rules interpretations and went off in a huff to our home 'turfs'. For a while it just cemented the G2D4/Game Preserve division in our city. It wasn't until later that we started meeting each other in non-AB tourneys and actually found out we liked each other. :)<br /><br />I'm not saying that the winners of AB were always cheaters (I know they weren't). But cheating was rampant at the event. From a competitive standpoint, it wasn't an event where you could point to the winner and say anything other than he lucked out in his matchups.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-66342513531055790832012-03-27T11:07:29.532-04:002012-03-27T11:07:29.532-04:00I am sorry that your experiences were not good one...I am sorry that your experiences were not good ones with ard boyz sandwyrm. The way you have it worded it sounds horrible. In addition, you state that every winner at the semi-finals is a cheater. I won ard boyz semi's last year and still made it to the final table at the indy open does that mean I am a cheater?? You can ask the judges for the indy open if there was any sort of dispute I just politely asked them over for a ruling that way one opponent just doesnt bully the other to there side of the argument and if ruled against by a judge it makes for a smoother game rather then remaining bitter about it. Was ard boyz perfect... No but what tournament is? Sure the 3 round point system is flawed but if you can bring a list that can take on any players then you dont need a baby seal as any opponent can become a baby seal. <br /><br />Ard boyz was great because it encouraged players to travel and intermingle with usually the best players from another gaming group. I only did the ard boyz circuit twice and I enjoyed both occasions. I like the qualifier format that leads to a final tournament where the best of the best throw down.Tomb Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966193918427844485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-33401990655099525002012-03-27T02:41:34.104-04:002012-03-27T02:41:34.104-04:00Our local tournaments are extra flawed but nothing...Our local tournaments are extra flawed but nothing I say can change their point of view. We have 1 day with only 3 games. A win is 15 points, a tie is 5 and a loss 1, it's so discrepant that by the last game we already know who will place top 3. I had the worse time on my last game knowing that there was no way I could win the tournament because I had already lost my second game...Rafael "Balangaz"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05908329716121835117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-71494967982436970202012-03-23T00:33:16.973-04:002012-03-23T00:33:16.973-04:00'Ard Boyz is worse for the hobby than no tourn...'Ard Boyz is worse for the hobby than no tournament support at all.

This now ends the last thread of GW support in any form to the community or tournament scene. They may not have been doing it well, but at least they were trying. Now they can't even say they do that. They will continue to raise prices, and now not even give away free stuff.<br /><br />From the tournament perspective it is good to have such a debauchery be gone, but in the larger scope of things I'm not sure I like what this foreshadows.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-20018956524427922772012-03-22T17:52:08.389-04:002012-03-22T17:52:08.389-04:00GW always say and probably always will that 40k is...GW always say and probably always will that 40k is a fun game between friends and is not meant as a competative game in the slightest, you can see this with the way fantasy went and I bet 6th will be even more random and "fun" vs how it is now.Dalinairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584673496376090341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-19406231578376237952012-03-22T17:14:09.612-04:002012-03-22T17:14:09.612-04:00Peace out 'ard boyz, You will not be missed.Peace out 'ard boyz, You will not be missed.GravyGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869467287754867309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-89860348225918380072012-03-22T14:06:22.982-04:002012-03-22T14:06:22.982-04:00This is the best GW news I've heard in about 2...This is the best GW news I've heard in about 2 years.<br />Hip, hip, HOORAY!SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.com
