Annual Megabattle thread of dooom.

[Achillius]

I'm gonna agree with the whole chain axe thing.

There was no real discussion about the Megabattle on Monday because Derek had to go take care of something elsewhere.  There was some talk about the table setup.  I'm sure there was some more discussion about it tonight and they may have settled on something but I'm not sure.


What I know now...

The Megabattle will not be Feb 20th afterall, the space at Steve D's hotel was not available.
It now looks like it will take place in March, but we don't know exactly when yet.
The table will actually be 12 (or 14ish) tables (we had 9 last year).
When I left on Monday, Dec 21 the idea we had involved a bunch of "city" or "industrialized" tables... which was very different from the idea we had a couple days before that.
As you can see, a lot changes over the course of a day or two while we are in the "planning" phase.

I'll keep you all as informed as I can.  Once we have a date nailed down and the room booked, sign ups will begin shortly after.  We are taking 40 players on a first come, first serve basis.

uh oh, the mega battle is going to come close to St. Paddys, not much can go wrong there

I miss posted my previous mocking of murph.


Order guys are wussies, disorder guys are metal.


P.S. I forget Derek's exact words but guys with swords are lame...

I'm going to let my six year old counter this, as she did it with such style.

"Daddy, why does that girl have a beard?..."


Nuff said..

That's not a beard!  It's a shadowing from a double chin.  Your daughter is mean.

As long as it ISN'T the weekends of the 13th or 27th, I'll be able to make it.

Thanks in advance, guys!

I'm just glad its not the 20th. I should be able to do it any other weekend...

Would a paper model like the large biped in this image be acceptable for a Titan in the Megabattle?

Also, any new estimate of when the battle might be? I've got a friend who might want to come up from Chicago for it, and the sooner we know when the cheaper the flight would be...

Thanks!

Yeah, if you can make it look like the one in that picture you're fine.

The Megabattle will be on March 13th 2010.

[Spooky]

Awesome, thanks for the ruling and the news!

I'll see what I can do about getting the shape right... Like if I go warhound I may try for more chicken-y legs, and I'll see what I can do about getting the weapons to look a little closer. That said, I may just go with something that's similar to what's in the picture.

[the_trooper]

Same quality but you want it to look like the model it represents.   I think more players would be happier with something obvious vs. something not so obvious.

This.

So long as it looks badass and looks like the model it represents, you're good.

[Spooky]

All of that makes sense, and thanks again for the direction. I'll be paying most careful attention to trying to get the weapons right since I feel like that's what could cause the greatest confusion.

"Okay, what is that generic papery cylinder again?"

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*... Such is life... Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I won't be able to make it this year.....  Keep your fingers crossed for me in hoping that something changes!!!

Thanks, Anakin.
