zFiend Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Haha no rush mate. did you sign up for Nythera? Also do you have time for vassal any time soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Eh, coping.. Did you get the plastic Kaeris already? Well at least it's not worse than coping. No not yet mate, I've been focusing on my Cryx for a Warmahordes Journeyman League. She's my next Malifaux purchase. I'll probably pick her up next weekend at which point I shall PM you for your address. I spent a fair bit on GenCon and can't really justify replacing Kaeris just yet, especially whilst I'm having with fun Leve (FINALLY!!!), Jack Daw and The Crossroads Seven (They are epic!)Beastmachine.

Absolution Black Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 hmmmm...He just doesn't seem that bothered in getting the new releases in. Maybe I am now the only one who buys the stuff now, who knows?I asked him about the new book and starter sets and he wasn't planning to get any in unless it was a customer order. And then he also said he wouldn't be ordering until the end of the month anyway.I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 What is this page 5 thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) What is this page 5 thing? In essence Page 5 of the Warmachine and Hordes rule books basically says play like a total arse hole, be a dick, don't hold back, smash everyone and everything all the time. (Paraphrasing). OK after re-reading it it's not quite that bad, the problem is people choose to ignore Point 5 of the page and just play like dicks. Here' take a look. I took this screenshot from the free version of the rules they released a short while ago. Edited September 9, 2015 by MasterDisaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah, anyone who takes page five seriously, but especially those who ignore point five are people I have problems with. Unfortunately, that's an attitude that I've seen in many games, it's just a bit of stupid where PP putting that in writing a lot of those jackasses get attracted to what is otherwise a fun game. Not without flaws, but no game is perfect. Anyway...how goes folks? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Also people who ignore the "win graciously" part of page five are beneath my contempt. I know many players who are sore winners, and even worse losers. They'll always lament the fact that they didn't table you without losing models despite their "perfect plan". Granted, I've seen more of those in GW than PP games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDisaster Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Huh.. The way I read that is don't be a dick? DThat's basically what it is supposed to say but it doesn't stop certain gamers from being cheesy netlisting wankers who use Page 5 as justification for acting like a petulant child. When I first saw it I thought it was a joke and a bit of a laugh but it turns out there are people who actually take it pretty seriously (bar points 4 and 5 naturally) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I usually concede once the game is at a point I can't turn it. It's a waste of everyone's time to keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I only concede when I really, really can't win anymore. I have snatched some hard-fought victories from the jaws of defeat. (And in one case, when my enemy snatched defeat from the jaws of victory). Or, of course, when the game has become tediously boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hey CJ Usually I'll see the game through to the bitter end. Even if I can't win I can still deny some points from my opponent making my loss not quite so bad. I prefer to see it to the end. If my opponent wishes to concede though I'll just figure out my moves to see how many VP I could have scored and go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I respect that. I just try to optimize my day and time spending and thus if I see a game is clear cut enough I move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a bad loser, but I see strategy like no one's business The funny thing is sometimes he narrates my strategy before I've even had a chance to think of it sometimes. I've conceded and had games conceded by my opponents' before. One particular time that comes to mind is the last tournament I played it when someone conceded on Turn 1 to me. I've never felt so bad assassinating a Master as I did then... And it was my first time facing Sonnia, no less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
