There was no lying on the weekend my friend. I live two blocks from the Melbourne GW shop. Those guys watched me paint my tomb kings almost everyday in the shop and helped me playtest my army AND write my list for Axemaster. Every staff member knew where I was going and what I was taking. Those same staff members sold me my Conflict ticket knowing all of this. <br /><br />I am loud, bald, American (which sticks out here)... I am a former GW store staff in Melbourne and a known face on the local tourney scene ("What's a battle?" If you have played in a tourney I have played in you would know what that means). There is no way that people could have mistaken me for anything but me when they encouraged me to play in the tourney. <br /><br />As I said earlier, Conflict was not just a beginners tourney this year. 8th Ed is new. It was opened to the general public. There were at least 8 players out of 30 who played in Axemaster the week before. Nick wore his Master's jersey. There were also representatives from at least four of Melbourne's better wargaming clubs (only some of those having been at Axemaster the week before) present and playing. To my knowledge not one of those people were pretending to be anything but who they are.<br /><br />As far as "newb stomp" goes... Out of my three games, two of my opponents had played ALOT more 8th than I had and where helping me with the rules that I am still learning. Again after yesterday I have only played 11 games of 8th (9 of which were tourney games). <br /><br />With a swiss system the most Newb action I could face (if I didn;t qualify as a newb) would be one game. I massacred my first opponent to go on to play someone who did likewise in their first game. I then did it again to play someone who had likewise completely won his first two games. <br /><br />If you had put your name on such an incendiary statement we could have had a reasonable chat. Since you didn't I have to assume you where trying to "get my goat." Too bad you couldn't "man up."<br /><br />BBolt Action Alliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423204020500106643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752757614241916720.post-55469361689430193162010-09-27T09:21:59.458+10:002010-09-27T09:21:59.458+10:00grats on the wins dood, but i still think its poor...grats on the wins dood, but i still think its poor form by the lot of you lieing about your first tourny to "noob stomp"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
