(1)Build your crew for the schemes and strategies, rather than bringing a set crew. (2)Focus on getting your schemes and strategy, and denying your opponent (3)Only kill if it helps you with number 2. It usually does, but when you have a choice between attacking and scoring a VP, go for the VP. (4)Have fun, and talk about the game afterword. Chances are there was a point your opponent was afraid you were going to do something, or that you missed an opportunity you opponent saw. If nothing...

I think the biggest issues with the new forums might be that nothing is where I expect it to be.

The more I think about it, the less I like the new forums.

My playtesting biases: I believe you should strive for the simplest rules possible, with no additional rules that duplicate the effect of other rules. Models should be balance by cost, against all factions and amongst the faction it comes from, and this balance must include what the model brings to it's faction. No model should require a certain combination to counter. That way lies Pandora/the Dreamer. A model in a faction should be fairly priced for what it brings to 75+% of that faction. a model only good with one master, or a master only good with a few models is bad design. Questions can be more valuable than answers.

My Forum Manifesto I can't promise to agree with you. Regardless of who you are, I will argue with you if I think you are wrong. What I can promise is that I won't purposefully troll, and I will always be as honest as I can, and try(albeit usually fail) to present my arguments in the best way possible. I will also try(and sometimes fail) to consider your arguments as honestly as I can. I can be convinced I am wrong. it happens occasionally. Being convinced, not being wrong--that happens quite often. While my argument may become quite heated, with very few exceptions, my problems are with the point itself, and not with you. In the case of those few exceptions, I will strive to be courteous, and treat the arguments with the same respect as I would treat anyone else's. If I seem abusive in the name of an argument, call me on it. I will try to explain what I meant, and if I see where it was or could be taken as abusive to another poster, I will apologize for that.
