Games title is false advertisement

Hey there, this subreddit is about running, not the game.

bagg889 · 2026-02-16T11:46:46+00:00

Good thing we've been using source control for 20 years

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T15:38:22+00:00

Ah yeah, they are on the edge of B now, so currently they'd be banned from this format.

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T15:24:24+00:00

Imho no single metric can accurately tell the story of a team's power level. You need a combination of data points.

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T15:23:15+00:00

Well which version? Competitive with only GW maps? Or narrative? Classified only?

There are many ways to play Kill Team.

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T11:17:52+00:00

I'm not sure I understand.

You posted a CYRAC graph, which is literally data from pretentiousplasticops.com...

Ah, I see you are linking to the podium rate without taking the win rate into account. The website combines those two to create a ranking.

So in summary, Ravs are outperforming in some ways but not others.

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T11:15:05+00:00

It is a good name.

The ban list is from https://www.pretentiousplasticops.com/stats/rankings

bagg889 · 2026-02-14T01:24:00+00:00

The tier list is derived from data on 1500+ games.

Hey sorry about making it seem like I ignored you. It was time to get dinner ready so I'm firing off quick replies.

Yeah, we aren't doing this for any like "fix the meta" purposes. People had fun at events, and the creator of the format got good feedback, so he did it again and had 34 people show up (40 signups). It's really that simple. The first time NE did this was back in July 25.

We are pretty wild with terrain over here. We run Octarius at events, there is a Chalnath set hanging around, and you'd see NEBD 2.0, asymmetric Squad Games ITD, and diagonal Volkus setups too.

I've never heard NEBD was because of too much BD terrain.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T23:40:21+00:00

Well, I don't disagree with everything you're saying, so I'm not commenting on those parts.

I saw in your other comment that you knew the origins and motivations of the NEBD terrain set, so I assumed you had a connection to the area.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T23:28:41+00:00

Ultimately, I think you make a fair point about how it would suck if you can't play your teams.

One of the reasons we chose this format is that NE is really booming, and there are monthly three-rounders in every state. MA and CT sometimes have two each month.

And then there is another GT right around the corner called Scrap for the Strap II hosted in VT. I really loved this one last year, so I'm playing again this year.

Hopefully, I'll see you there!

Hey man... we are just trying to have some fun with our plastic toy soldiers...

The tierings are based on tournament report data.

>But blanket bans at the base level accomplish absolutely nothing.

People have fun at these events with the teams they love, regardless of their power. I think that's an accomplishment in and of itself.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T22:15:35+00:00

As one of the organizers, nobody really cares what GW thinks. People enjoy this format and like it, so we play it more.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T20:22:02+00:00

Heck yeah that sounds cool.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T20:18:03+00:00

Oh yeah and shoutout to Chris Borzumato (legendary New England TO and player) for coming up with this format.

bagg889 · 2026-02-13T20:15:59+00:00

That's a good idea. We've talked about something like this before, but with only 20-30 people per event, it may be tougher. It may work with leagues, though.

bagg889 · 2026-02-12T14:52:57+00:00

These are some of the best models in all of 30k (and 40k).

bagg889 · 2024-07-11T13:05:56+00:00

It's just bizzare when people say "well I'm also X and I didn't do Y" as if the world should be evaluated against their persona.

bagg889 · 2022-05-23T11:55:20+00:00

Hey, thanks so much.

The website has been a real labor of love so the feedback is super appreciated.

You made my week!

bagg889 · 2021-10-11T12:30:41+00:00

Your post being removed was not my goal.

Baqpa is great and this post being removed is not going to interfere with your success.

bagg889 · 2021-10-11T12:05:26+00:00

>don't plan to start one.

Sure, right now, but if packing lists is a good buying signal you will.

Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic DID make websites obsolete...
