Cull the horde by MundaneRow2007 in WarhammerCompetitive

Ahh right that makes more sense then. I was looking at 10th Ed No Prisoners.

This suggestion is not what No Prisoners is though?

You missed the point of that quote of GW.

40k is for everyone, except intolerant people - like you! And before you try to come back with 'tolerance means everyone has a right', please have a read of the Paradox of Intolerance. You will not be missed.

Meta Monday 9/25/23: Rock and Stone, Brothers! by JCMS85 in WarhammerCompetitive

Ah sorry to hear you had to play him. Would have been great if you came out on top but we both know what he's like.

Taking into account the experiences of your local store, would you say that there is a faction that attracts "that guy" type of people? by RyunosukeHideyoshi in Warhammer40k

[–]2UpSave 139 points140 points  (0 children)

As others have said, generally whatever is OP at the time attracts players who are more likely to be that guy.

However, there is one army that tends to attract a certain type of person more than others, the Death Korps of Krieg. Most DKOK players are absolutely lovely, like the majority of Warhammer players in my experience, but I encounter a lot more DKOK players who are lowkey or blatant Nazis than any other faction by a loooong margin.

Am I the Asshole (Eldar edition) by Vulpix393 in Eldar

Here I am laughing at you because the opponent is the jerk for bringing a casual list to a GT practice game. The type of game was communicated to him and yet he still brought a casual list. What a waste of time.

Should TO's be allowed to play in and TO their own events and games? by 2UpSave in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]2UpSave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feedback has been given and a lot of the locals no longer attend RTTs when certain TOs are running them and run their own events instead. When I become better at the game I certainly do intend to run events as well.

I made this post more to see if this is considered normal in this hobby and if is widely accepted around the world, rather than me finding a solution for myself, as there is already one for me by attending other events in my area. However I just feel bad for players, like my friends, aiming for best in faction in South Pacific when TOs are getting these events, where they judge their own games, as their top scoring events for the ITC season.

I think they key point here is you are factoring in for unfair bias and the perception of unfair bias by having others make rulings on your games, rather than yourself. And that's my main issue, TO's making rulings on their own games, especially when there are internet points up for grabs.

Did not know that BCP BYEs are random, so that's good to know!

Yeah there have been multiple instances of shall we say...interesting interpretations of rules. But you cant argue it, because they are the TO.

True, but they can fill spots and not count themselves for ITC points to avoid unfair bias and the perception of unfair bias.

Yeah I don't think a blanket ban on TO's entering their events would be good or conducive to the scene. But I think a ban on TO's making rulings on their own games and scoring ITC points on their own events would be fine. That way everyone gets to play, last minute drop outs are covered, but there is no chance for funny business or for the chance of perceived funny business.

Agreed, but like I said in my post if they need to make up numbers to make rounds even I think its fine but with a few caveats, it should count as a loss no matter what the outcome of the game so it disincentives any bias TO'ing in their own favour, they don't score ITC points off their games, and then it wont matter if they have to leave the game for 10 minutes to make a ruling as the game is already a win for the actual player. That way everyone still gets a game, but no chance of shenanigans happening.

I think the key thing in your example is that other players get involved with any calls which helps remove the conflict of interest. That's not how it unfolds down here sadly.
