HolyKause <---- didn't we boot this Stelek wannabe loser of this site?
P.S. Canadin is the most amazing opponent I have ever faced in any game in the past 13 years. He truly is a master of 40k!

I'm tired of facing your Chaos anyhow, it'll be nice to swap things up a bit. Including my marine list since I got a whole bunch of new tanks in (after several months of DE to the

This post is Bullshit.
Just because someone stands up and says they are tired of winning so much doesn't mean you need to be a rude ass.

sure thing sugar, since you're the only one who's able to spell my alias correctly...Terran wrote:=I=censor=I= me sideways, Holycause is back.
And just as a side note, I've been able to post since June (and am able to post everywhere for that matter), but I've been too busy to linger here.

Re: Games August 1 - 7
I see this is never going to stop.. I can already sense that people are just waiting to bubble over with fury..
Not sure how to stop it. I dont even really know if this forum is useful any more.
Maybe Adam and Jim should set up a new message board, just for people signed up for the league?
I'm 100% tired of dealing with everyones crap.

Re: Games August 1 - 7
Its funny Robyn, I was actually going to send you a PM this afternoon to cover that.
Either Alex or myself will be setting up a separate forum by the end of the week, and we'll be posting some stuff up at the den to direct people to the new site.
I'm honestly really sad about this whole situation, but its become really apparent to the people who attend league Wednesdays that we are just plain disliked by some of the existing player base. In particular, posters like Miv who I've seen like... three times in the year I've been coming to league, infuriate me. You don't show up, you don't play, and yet 1/3 of your posts are you complaining about power gamers or Alex, all of whom are people you've really never met.
I do apologize for the above, but that has been annoying me for months. I'll be showing up later in the week with a link for everyone, and everyone is of course welcome so long as they're civil.

Re: Games August 1 - 7
Sorry I'm not happy that a guy who bashed all of us on another website and consistently talked down to people is back. I don't have to meet Alex in person to know I don't want to play him.
If you got off your soapbox and actually read some of my earlier posts about powergaming and what's going to happen you'd realize I was right, it polarized the community and now Thursday nights are busier then Wednesday's, you can thank your boys for that btw.

Re: Games August 1 - 7
Sounds good, that's probably the best option.
Here's how I see it. The newer players have a different way of playing the game and talking on the forum. They don't get offended by each other's comments and that's cool. The older players don't like the newer guys attitudes and encourage them to change it, barring that refuse to play them. The newer guys in turn take offense with people they don't know telling them what they do, how to play, and the cycle repeats itself.
I'm guilty of it, we all are.
So yeah, for sure.. set-up a new message forum for the new league. Maybe give it a new name that way we can keep the records of past champions for the Hunters league here. I really enjoy the idea of keeping a running tally of all the past league champions, although we never got around to making up a proper trophy.
We'll keep things running here for awhile, but shut down the league forums etc. and maybe just keep things running for General Discussions, Hobby Forums, and Bartertown.
You and Jim are definitely level headed and really calm guys, so try and make sure you two are overseeing the moderating duties as much as possible. I had a good talk with Darren at the Den today, and he's more than fine with you guys taking over running things, and I think you guys have already talked to him a few times about it.
Hopefully I'll be back and able to play before the new edition comes out..

Re: Games August 1 - 7
Miv, I have read your posts many, many times and my point now is the same as it has always been. How can you possibly judge the way someone plays or the way someone acts without ever talking to them, because as far as I can tell your power gaming rant was a result of you getting annoyed after hearing off hand stories from other people.
*Shrugs* Well it hardly matters now. =)

How nice of a league organizer to single someone out and start something. Awsomesauce. Definitely helping.
Why in such a small community do people have to act differently on the forum than in real life? The connection is there. I would never say anything on here I wouldn't say to someones face. If someone acts a certain way here, why would I want to meet them. Everyone here's from Saskatoon, goes to the same place and has a love for the same hobby, to have a 'persona' here is =I=censor=I= retarded.
But onto other things: Maybe this can be reflected on some: A wise man once said, "consider that someone who has sunk thousands of dollars and hours into a hobby would rather walk away from a league they've been part of for years than opt to sit across a table than play against yourself."
*shrugs* I just started going Thurday nights instead. =)

I dont quite get what you mean by that... do you mean "'than opt to sit across a table [and] play against yourself.'"?
And also, before said league organiser said anything, Miv did a very good job of sinleing out HolyCause to start something when we were simply organising a casual game between friends.

Read it and take it for what it says. You don't need to add words to it.

Sadly entropy is inescapable. You can fight it, but in the end you will lose, and suffer much in the process.
Re: Games August 1 - 7
I have found many of the above posts pathetic. While it may be childish of me to even respond, somehow I feel I need to make some specific comments to a few of the posters.
Robin: I commend your endurance in the face of a situation you really wanted no part in. You seem like a fun guy, and from what little I have seen of you, I enjoyed your company. Cheers and best of luck.
Miv: I love how everyone trash talks a guy for bad-mouthing people on another forum, when people did nothing but bad-mouth him here. Little bit of a double standard.
Gluvzer: Your take on the whole forum/real life personality split interests me. Do you and your gaming buddies act like petulant assholes in real life as well? Or do you portray yourself differently on the forum (at least to some members)? I do agree though, it is such a shame that there is such division is so small a gaming community. Too bad our endeavors to meet you guys half-way were uniformly rejected (i.e., being polite in the face of rudeness, the league split, etc.).
Cam: I liked your post, but I have to make one comment. I am surprised at such wisdom coming from a man who was just considering taking up farming. Your mind is an enigma, good sir. Keep it that way.
Also: Where did you find that Demotivational poster? I enjoyed it.
Yes I singled people out. Do I care? No. To those I may have been rude to, I don't really give a =I=censor=I= about your opinions.
Adam: Let me know about the new forum info. I will PM you my e-mail, in case I get kicked from the forum.

Actually, I just want to play 40K games so I'm apathetic on all of the... well, this about sums it up:
HolyCause's Posts™, Now With Visual Aids!
But if adam wants to start up a new forum I can provide stuffs. It gives me something to do in my month off before university, so.
