That may be true Matt however I dont think it is your views but how they are presented.  As a community in general we the 40k players are a fairly small group so things like reputations and the way others view us is prominate.

It is however what I meant.  When it comes to a point that a person is consistantly getting low sports and people no longer wish to play said person it becomes an issue for the community.  That being said I think personally you are a good dude but somethings happens when you play the game. 

I am only bringing this up to try and help you grow, however lets take this to PM as I have now hijacked this thread and that was not my intent.

For the record, I agree with everything Grimwulfe said about you, except for the part where you're a good guy in real life (since I never actually met you). You should take up his offer.

I don't think Trooper was trying to be critical of you RE: WM/H, he probably thinks, and I agree with him, that you would greatly prefer the PP ruleset to GW.  I am not sure about gameplay and style, but certainly the ruleset.

WM/H is just a really great game and more people should play it. I actually firmly believe that the more PP succeeds, the more GW will *have* to take notice and adjust (hopefully in a positive way).

Matt, I made a thread complaining about GW's habits. I am with you on being able to complain. I have found great enjoyment in WM/H and was hoping to spread the good word.

I will, however, call you a cheese-head for playing Cryx.

Then why the flying F wouldn't you just PM me instead of calling me a "nice guy, but totally a douche" in public 3 times?  I'm kinda not interested anymore. 

I will, however, call you a cheese-head for playing Cryx.

I picked Cryx the same way I pick all my armies -- I liked the look of them.  It doesn't seem to me that the power disparities in WM are big enough that you can call anybody cheesy for running anything. 

I really like the Bane models and the slayer double fist jacks and variants.  I don't think my Cryx wind up looking the way most cryx armies do.

This is the internet. Everything but the army I play is cheesey.

You are right though, PP is pretty great at balancing things. Even things that seem almost unstoppable to some lists have really hard counters.

That is your choice.  Your are a nice guy but a douche to play against. I offered to take it to PM's several times however you never initiated the talk.  In the end its your life man but sometimes people need a reality check.  Im not the only person that has had difficulties in playing you or has expressed my distaste with your gaming habbits.  I tried to help but in the end its your choice.  When a time comes that you get banned from tournies or MORE people refuse to play you then maybe you will see why I started this in the public eye.  I tried to give you the opportunity to help yourself. 

Am I the end all be all.  Hell no im an asshole but I have never had an issue on a game table or have ever had the negative press you get.  Good luck to you Matt I wish you the best I honestly do.

not to gang up on you but he is right Matt. I have heard lots of BAD things about you. Also on the forums you do nothing but complain. During the tournament if I had to play you, i was going to throw it to opt to play some one else and have fun. You suck the fun out of the game by taking it to seriously. The pre-tournament thread I could not beleive how much complaining you did over a game that involves little plastic men. When you were pointed out to me I was surprised because I thought you would be younger by acting and reacting the way you do. Maybe your a cool dude in person, I dont know ive never met you in person directly. But from what I hear and see your just not some one I would want to play a casual game with. You need to see the difference between casual and non. The game is not about winning and loosing its about being fun to play a game. If you cant grasp that, then pick up Magic the Gathering and give up Miniture gaming.

What I say is harsh but its to let you know how the community sees your play style and like Grim said it may lead to no one wanting to play you. This isnt the Olympics, this isnt a high stakes poker game, its 40k, you need to relax unwind and just have fun win, or loose.

I don't even know you dude.  I've formed all sorts of opinions about you too based on your forum postings.....most of them not good, either.  Did you want me to tell you about them?  I'd rather not actually, it wouldn't be helpful.  Maybe I'd like you in real life, maybe I wouldn't.  It's probably better I find that out then, I think. 

I really still don't feel at ALL apologetic about pointing out that Horus Heresy rules are not meant to be used alongside normal 40k rules......because they're not.  Many people objected to my objecting.....ok?  I really don't care, it's silly and makes about as much sense as allowing super-heavies.  Being in the minority doesn't really change that.  No one really wound up taking horus heresy anything, so go figure. 

Tournaments aren't usually considered casual.  Nonetheless everyone told me the abington doubles tournament was going to be a casual day.  I took a casual list, I was playing with my buddy who plays 40k like 3 or 4 times a year.  I took a Tau special character that really isn't especially good, I just like the model and own the book. 

First turn I run into Alex Fennel and a (newly) classic all ravenwing with devastation banner list.  Alright.  Alex was a perfect gentleman, but it kinda pisses me off that everyone was hyping what a casual event it was going to be, and a few people said, "this may not be your kinda event, Matt", mostly because I dared to comment one the ruloeset. 

I'm really not interested in discussing this any more in public.  If you feel a desperate need to talk about it, YOU can msg ME if you want.  That's what I meant, btw Troy--if you really want to talk to me about it, I can let you know everything I think, but I didn't especially feel the need.  But, y'know, thanks for keeping it quiet and all.

I suppose you dont seem to get it. If we ever meet in person im sure we would get along. 40k tournaments were always meant for the most part to be casual unless its an ard boyz or what ever when it does matter. Its not that you object, its your approach of doing it. I cant really explain with out sounding like an asshole so I wont.

If your ever in abington and want to schedual a casual game with me let me know im always up for one when im free. ill tell ya what, ill even spot the Pizza and drinks. Im not trying to show hard feelings or break what ever image it is you have of me or what ever just trying to tell you what others have been saying. If you feel the need to PM me to tell me your formulated opinions on me feel free im sure we can discuss.

Back on the thread topic im expecting my book any day now and ill be happy to share with who ever wants to photo copy....i mean peak at the suppossed new rules.
