Do they have a beginners "whitestripe" tourney or something like that? Just playing has a completely different feeling to being in a tournament setting, so I hope the kid wasn't discouraged by being placed in the same league as "professionals". I would call that a tournament organizer error.greedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040218271997172413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622098113058558421.post-91475654568629063302011-06-09T20:59:40.402-07:002011-06-09T20:59:40.402-07:00Really appreciate the batreps; interesting to see ...Really appreciate the batreps; interesting to see your rather non-standard list crush the much more typical 2-tervigon/2x3 HG/tfex/big garg unit list.<br /><br />The prize "randoming" sounds pretty lame; especially if changed at the last minute like that.Ghostinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612442936351544336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622098113058558421.post-39666904869455369622011-06-09T18:24:59.599-07:002011-06-09T18:24:59.599-07:00Ya I doubt they would get people to go to many tou...Ya I doubt they would get people to go to many tournaments if the prizes are completely random...

I'm all for prizes being handed out liberally, but make sure that the "Big" prizes are for things like best painted, best general, most fun player etc. And then have a bunch of smaller prizes for silly stuff like "The dice don't like me", "Best death EVA!" etc. etc. So that even if our armies get mulched, we still might get a door prize if something fun happened in our game. Random prizes are just a bit meh.<br /><br />Regardless, a great showing by your nids. Good to see at least some well painted stuff out on the tables too!greedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040218271997172413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622098113058558421.post-15359821424604725392011-06-09T16:53:24.761-07:002011-06-09T16:53:24.761-07:00My big issue is that they didnt mention the whole ...My big issue is that they didnt mention the whole "random prize" thing until the first round was about to start. That and the fact that they gave some things prizes but nothing for the top prize. I have no issue about doing random prizes thing as long as they are up front about it so I can avoid their event.Ghouliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498056090030830223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622098113058558421.post-60044698721563184972011-06-09T16:33:53.482-07:002011-06-09T16:33:53.482-07:00That sounds like an awful way to run a tournament....That sounds like an awful way to run a tournament. But its good that you stomped all three opponents. I would seriously try to talk to the tournament organizer about the prize thing. If it was just an honest mistake he should at least know that randomly giving them away is an awful thing to do.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335550876905330323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622098113058558421.post-5542370059390161292011-06-09T11:53:48.080-07:002011-06-09T11:53:48.080-07:00Good reports!

Not surprised to hear Nids did so well - they can be nasty if an the opposing army isn't ready for them.<br /><br />They prize situation does sound rather fishy. Granted it might just have been luck of the draw, but it didn't sound like they were actually drawing anything. I'd almost made the trip out there myself, and I'd've been pissed if prizes were being handed out to the local group.Gaoramonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055796028837517322noreply@blogger.com
