[Abington + Plainville] Halloween MONSTER MASH - 10/31

[Benjamin]

I'm considering eliminating challenges all together.  Thoughts?

That's even simpler.

[Chase]

Done.

[andalucien]

OK, can I bring a Land raider?

You definitely can't deny that Land Raiders are Monstrous - I think I heard someone say once, "Wow!  What a MONSTER!".  And the greek word for "Raider" is "Kokonis", which is similar to the word for "Creature", "Kokonos".  I think by RAW, Land Raiders are allowed in this event.

[robpro]

I'm sure most MCs would rather face a land raider than most other MCs

Okay, the Internet says you're wrong. It has the Greek for "raider" as epidroméas or επιδρομέας. If you're not going to take this seriously, you will not be allowed to have any fun.

Hey Chase, could any model with red thirst be considered legal for this?

I think they are considered "monsters" since they can succumb to an unholy desire to drink blood.  And I mean, they are obviously Creatures....

[Typhus]

So I'm confused,  can you only ever attack one thing in hand to hand? 

[Bill]

Flying Monstrous Creatures are cool too?

[Sir_Prometheus]

Oh, wait, I suggest artificer armor is somehow a form of power armor and that's obvious crazy talk, who-hell-would-wonder-that, but it's ok to wonder if FMC's are MCs?  They're different unit type entries and everything.   

I'm kidding, except I'm kinda not.



More importantly I don't actually see how it would work if Flying Monstrous Creatures were allowed, I mean, how could anyone else engage them?  They'd be able to shoot other people, who mostly wouldn't be able to shoot them back, and you can't charge them at all, at least until you get lucky and they fall.  They'd  completely be able to pick their battles. 

[Bill]

Two big differences
1. I know that they are allowed and are in fact MCs not making any suggestions, just poking at an imbalance.

2. I am prepared to accept the answer regardless with zero argument.

[Vermillion]

This is actually pretty great. I'm in.

1. No, they aren't MCs. Look it up. JOTWW doesn't even affect them technically. Not that I think that technical distinction is the most important thing.

2. I did?  Seriously, when did I argue with Chase about it?

Point is, don't make me feel weird for asking a reasonable question, or preferably any question. Yours was reasonable, too.

[tyranid warlord]

Damn I couldn't get there till 8pm work =(

[Chase]

Yup.  This is just in an effort to keep things moving quickly / avoiding all kinds of confusion.  If you guys remember TANKSgiving events, it's pretty much organized chaos.

[Chase]

Wait, FMCs aren't MCs?  Huh?    (serious)


Unless they're somehow not MCs, they're legal.  I might be very wrong, but if they remain airborn their ability to kill stuff is greatly reduced, right?  These events are almost entirely about killing things, although this one does penalize dying all the time.
