Megabattle: There will only be ONE table.

[Chase]

I do have one question....I know that Chase said no restrictions....The one thing I'm nervous about is Emperor Titans.....The moon looked like no fun last year. I know stuff is going to die...In droves...Quickly. To me this event is about fun for all not fun for some. I just think Emperor Titans on one long table can case negative cloud over the whole thing. I may be way off base but it just makes me nervous that people spent a ton of time preping for the event and then get wiped out befor they even do anything from the other end of the table.

I happen to agree with this 100%.

The flip side is that some people WANT to see it and WANT to play against it.  They'll get to tell people they played in a game with an Emperor Titan, and hopefully say they played in a game where they killed an Emperor Titan.

Where as it can be the saddest moment of the Megabattle to have a large portion of your army removed, it will certainly be the best moment of the Megabattle if/when it dies.

I really, really hope the the people using titans use discretion when firing them off.  The Emperor is really the only one who can literally kill an entire 4000 point army in 1 round.  Here's hoping it's shots get spread out instead of pointed down the throat of 1 other player.

Black Emperor (v2) is almost done...

Sadly, this type of comment does way more harm than good.  I know what's going on here, but most don't.  People get upset and my inbox fills up.

Understandable.  People might get worried now that they know the Black Emperor is coming back.  But it's okay, they'll be fine!

Four people just quit the Megabattle.

I'm pretty sure at least 5 people had fun on the moon table

Seriously though, with enough prep (and the opposing team being fair-minded gentlemen with their army lists despite their trash talk) anything can be taken down.

Okay.

Alright so the black emperor is dead.  Like dead dead.  Like was taken apart and I think the head is the only thing that is left.

Thanks to some structural issues, it collapsed under its own weight last year.

While the "joke" was to say it was returning, I fear people were not able to take it as such.  It was supposed to be the chaos boogeyman but it appears that it was too successful at hiding in the minds of people.

So again I say, the Black Emperor is dead.  As "co-conspirator" who helped build it, I can say for certainty it is dead.  Hell, the person who fielded it is on Order this year.

As for the Huron's Emperor?  It is not covered in D weapons.  It has all sorts of fun things that are not vortex missiles and not turbo lasers.  It has some but to be sure, you will get cover saves from most of the weapons.

Many armies were built around the idea of multiple tables.  Sorry.  Sorry we ran with the idea of propaganda and trash talking. If those who dropped,  want to come back, I can drop out as I seemed to have caused some of this issue.

Burn the witch!

[Chase]

I wish that sort false intel, rumor spreading, and propaganda could always be fun, but people get legitimately scared and upset.

How about how I'm bringing 900 Toughness 2 Zombies?

I'm pretty much over caring what people bring (for the most part).

I sweat it too much.  Things typically work out fine.

While it is true we had some drops over the past week, none of them were related to the Black Emperor post. All but one were schedule conflicts.

Propaganda vs. propaganda!
