Dave's challenge has potential to be amazing.  Please post any / all results here for my enjoyment.

I will play you Saturday with the most miserable caster in the game. Man up and head down to plainville. You'll only need to be there for a turn or two.

I challenge you to Malifaux in Abington

@Bryan. Yes I will.

@Ian, since when are you a noob? Fortunately for you, I only play at Abington. Unless you're game after the next doubles

@Jared, it's on like that monkey from nintendo

it's only awesome if I got tabled every game. Which given my last challenge. Ended game 1 thanks to murph... Is very likely

Why don't I get the easy opponents for my challenges? Where's my 8 yr old with a black reach box?  ::)

Oh. My bad. I should have recognized this as the shameful attempt at gamestore-ego boosting it is.

Post by: skavengear on December 01, 2010, 05:32:30 PM
I would acknowledge you egging me to play you, but that would only feed your ego.  :P

as for your warcaster, once my semester ends I'm free Thursdays again so we can settle this like men: with toy soldiers and violence  :D

@Bryan. Yes I will.

I challenge you to a game of chess this saturday at Abington (Unless you're already booked)
i can bring a chess set if needed, possibly a chess clock, and official US CHESS pads for moves if i can find some (they're older than me though)

What happened? get scared? running from your own challenges is no way to shed the N00b title
Title: Re: A Challenege to the noobs
Post by: skavengear on December 05, 2010, 12:20:57 PM
I had way to many surprises yesterday. And I mean WAY too many. I will be there for a whole bunch of games next Saturday.

Also, to Steve, mooney, and  cookie: we need to finish our 4way malifaux game. Are you guys there next Saturday?

Better to have the Newbie title than the Rookie title. The Newbie title, every is still willing to help and teach you the game; but if you've been playing for a while and aqquire the Rookie title. Well, that just means you need to find a new game or attain some "Game" for your sorry behind.

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own.

I'm still a "noob" as it's my 3rd month playing WM if you want a rematch.  I've been dying to try out a eNemo + 10  chargers list.

THE GAME  ::)

30:00 Minutes per Player (Yes, I brought a chess clock an official U.S. Chess pad from the 1980's, and my own wooden chess set)

1:  d4            Nb8-a6

48: Qa5-a7    Kc8-d8
49: f6           Kd8-e8
50: Qa7-a6   ?

At one point I think the enitre store was watching the game.

After the 50th move i was running out of time and had to stop writing down the moves, I ended up winning the game with 6 seconds left on the clock (Dave had 14:35, but I spent some time explaining how castleing queen-side works to Ben Hong, and writing down moves), but I made PLENTY of stupid mistakes...like moves 40 and 48. This was the single most annoying game of chess I've ever played.  :D

Here's the pad for proof that I smashed defeated Dave:
