magicpockets Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, interesting update on this. As I'm not a part of the Henchman program or approved by Wyrd I won't be organising this tournament for winter. Apologies to all who showed interest and I hope someone else "more suitable" picks this up as I really think it had potential. And of course this has nothing to do with how vocally opposed I was to the ranking system in another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's anything I can do to support you with making the event a go again please just let me know. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Magic, I thought that there was no requirement to be a Henchman to be the TO. Just need attendance by a Henchman for it to be officially recognised. Is Jo a Henchman for example, she is organising the GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Only that there be a henchmen there at the event. I'll be there so that's not a problem. Jo isn't a henchmen, but I'll be there and Mitch (Stren) usually helps out too. So again no issue. Lets try and keep the rankings talk in the rankings thread though.

Neverata Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I organise the GT for Maelstrom games. Its a bit of a partnership My refs are mainly made up of henchman except for a select few that are refs out of my choice. I don't forsee many of the henchman not coming to the GT and therefore most would go to tis ETC style event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 yeah, I wasnt questioning the validity of Jo's right to TO the GT, just using it as an example that you can run a tournament and not be a Henchman, just so long as you have Hencham in attendance.

Neverata Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm sure a henchman will get behind Adam on this one and make it happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I thought that there was no requirement to be a Henchman to be the TO. Just need attendance by a Henchman for it to be officially recognised. I've heard this before somewhere, but giving it some thought I have to admit to being very puzzled by the concept! What does "officially recognised" mean anyway? Why should there be any restrictions on gatherings of people, Henchmen present or otherwise, to play this game? Surely anyone could organise an event of any size if they wanted and people showed up. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely anyone could organise an event of any size if they wanted and people showed up. Mike I have to agree with this, I can't see why an event should need to have a henchman present at all. If it is to make it an official Wyrd event then does that really matter? How many wfb/40k events are supported by GW and they have great success it shouldnt be any different with Malifaux.

magicpockets Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Okay, I think I need to step back in and clarify this is nothing to do with Wyrd here as far as I know. It's more an "opinion" that got shared with me and, given everything else and how busy I am with work, I've decided to leave it for someone else to hopefully do. [Could I suggest that Jo organise this (if she wants to) to be the "otherside" of the GT on the calendar (i.e. in Feb/March)? She's certainly got TO down to an art (admittedly a more Salvador Dali style art ) and Maelstrom is a perfect venue for the numbers which have shown interest] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 If Jo's not interested I'd be happy to step up and take this on. Or maybe we can work on it together. I'm sure it'll come up at Cardiff at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulgrima Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's cool that there are people who can step into the void, but they shouldn't really have to I would like to think that whoever has shared that opinion with you Magic would be willing to tell us all.

AdrianMills Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Indeed as it could put off many others from attempting to organise such events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, as this idea was originally discussed between myself and Magic at the start, im happy to take the reins on this, in conjunction with James and Jo one or both of you want to get involved? I am quite keen to get this organised, and have been since we had the idea... As for official Wyrd event, the difference is that (as I understand it) an official Wyrd event receives Wyrd support in the way of donated prizes. Not a massive thing but it all helps make an event more successful. As a TO, it is also nice to work with Wyrd to bring an event to life for the benefit of all.

magicpockets Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, as this idea was originally discussed between myself and Magic at the start and have been since we had the idea... Hold on a sec, I'm not playing anymore - but I haven't cancelled my account on the forum or anything just yet. To clarify, this was something that was devised betwene me, James (MythicFox) and Craig (ukrocky) at the last Maelstrom event long before you picked up your first Malifaux model. In fact, I don't recall discussing this with you except in passing when it came up in conversation. I let your earlier attempt to jack this idea go without comment -> great, thanks Wulfila, looking promising so far....I think we are looking at a Winter date, as there seems to be less tournaments that time of year, flights are often cheaper and gives us plenty of time to get the event organised. Will discuss further with MagicPockets and give you all a provisional date... But blatantly trying to muscle in like this is a bit much. I don't mind who does this moving forward, but I can't let comments like that go without pointing out you had no involvement in this and I can only see what you're doing as trying to blag your way into running what is clearly going to be a big and important event. Sorry Ash, but it needed to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clousseau Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well, interesting update on this. As I'm not a part of the Henchman program or approved by Wyrd I won't be organising this tournament for winter. Apologies to all who showed interest and I hope someone else "more suitable" picks this up as I really think it had potential. And of course this has nothing to do with how vocally opposed I was to the ranking system in another thread. Can I just clarify that it is NOT a requirement that a tournament has to be run by a Henchman, or even that one has to be at the event (or even in the same country). [The rankings proposal includes a henchman requirement, but as ateam event I would assume that it wouldn't be a ranking event.] Finally, @ magicpockets - teddies back into pram please - I don't believe that anyone (especially Drake) is trying to take over/take credit for what you've been doing on this topic. Drake may not be aware of conversations you've had prior to a discussion at club night so to him it's an initial discussion. So let's all chill and look forward to a fun event sometime soon, somewhere in Europe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Clousseau, and apologies to Magicpockets, I genuinely didnt realise this went back further than our initial chats about this. If I have stepped on anyones toes I apologise. Im certainly not trying to muscle in here. Apologies to jump in again,but thought it was fair I respond and clarify this is merely a misunderstanding on my part as I obviously didnt realise the previous history to this.

Neverata Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Only just read half of this Adam, why don't you and I do this for February/ March. No need to step out of this altogether if you still wanting to be involved or something I'll have plenty of time after the GT and thanks for saying i've got it down to an art I'm not wanting to step on toes either, and will only be involved if people want me to be.

Thanks Jo, but I think you (or maybe you and James if you need help - which I don't think you do, plus James probably wants to play ) should run with this considering how the past Maelstrom events have gone. It looks like it could be bigger than we even thought at first and I think it needs someone with experience to make it what it can be. In fact, as Steve is also jacking in playing (so he says ) maybe he could help? Either way, I know it'll be just about good enough with you at the helm And Dave, thanks for the teddies out of pram line, really means a lot.

I'll speak to Maelstrom tomorrow. Anyone have any preferences I'd start up a new thread with links at the bottom of the existing two, and PM the people I listed on this (or the other??) thread to let them know you're running with this and about the new thread. It'll be a lot cleaner, plus we cut out the "omfg" in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverata Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I will do but just want to scout dates so I can speak to maelstrom before I set up a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) February sounds like the best plan. Right now I reckon you could take your pick of any weekend that works for you and Maelstrom. Just not on Valentines day please Mike Edited June 23, 2011 by Mike3838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
