Oh, I thought we were talking about forum posting "gamers" (who may or may not actually play). My friends are worse.

I definitely agree with a lot of what that TGN editorial said. 5th edition was great, but GW needs to step it up. The "I go, you go" comment really caught my eye, as I've always felt a squad-by-squad activation sequence (akin to that found in Void) would be better than two armies statically letting loose everything they have. Ah, well. not for another four years...

Heh, this one was news to me a couple weeks ago until one of my friends wrote an article referencing Barnum and the Cardiff Giant fiasco. Like you said, we'll never know for sure... but it does make for interesting trivia. :)

Hmmm...

First, you are absolutely correct: I was referencing the "sucker" line. Guess you could see where I was heading with that one, eh?

Second, after looking around it appears that you may have something with your bit o' trivia. Seems that a lot of people attribute that quote to him, but he may not every have said it. However, like so many other things, we'll never really know for sure...

Regardless, thanks for the heads up on that (like i needed more trivia in my brain... sigh). ;)

I truly feel that this is a "mountains out of molehills" issue. It's gone, over with and we have a shiny, new topic here... why not let the past remain in the past and instead talk about some Apoc goodness?

Really? Well, I'm glad I don't play with the people that you do. :D

Azzy — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:27:56 -0000

You mean the "sucker" line?

Trivia: P.T. Barnum never actually said that.

What's laughable is that's it's the truth. It's not a statement about Warseer, but a statement about what this place has become over the last few days. I find it sad.

I'm afraid it's not my place to do that, my role here is strictly as a contributing writer and I have no input regarding the contributions of the other writers. If you want to make a request or provide feedback on content here directly to the site owners, the address at the bottom of the page is your best, most direct method of doing so.

LOL! Dammit- you guys got me!

Good catch (mind the pun) on that one. I completely dropped the ball there. Guess that's what I get when I start acting like an ass.

Ah, karma...

"Sixsystems 1 hour ago"

Pith off?

Baited?

Fishmonger!

It's not just 40k. It's wargaming. Lots of power fantasy issues, over-compensation, obsessive-compulsive types, little boys that never grew up, little boys that want to be Napoleon, little boys that ARE little boys (mostly 40k this one), and of course the pedos and preverts.

'bated, please. It's a contraction of abated.

Or are you really trying to attract fish with your oral exhalations?

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

Sixsystems — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:14:34 -0000

Wow! That was just so.... witty!

Please continue with your pithy, insightful writings, your whimsical turns of phrase, and the delightful, delicate prose for which you are becoming well known!

I wait with baited breath for your next illuminating correspondence!

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

Sixsystems — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:11:29 -0000

In that case, I apologize. After reading all the hating, I assumed you were following in kind. I beg your pardon, Captain!

Arsemunch.

"Honestly, Warseer is far more civil than what I've seen here lately."

That's bloody laughable.

BOLS might be balls, but Warseer is DICKS!

A famous P.T. Barnum quote would be very appropriate right now. But I might offend O&O Collector if I used it....

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

Sixsystems — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:49:06 -0000

Fascinating! You insist that rickrolling is a thing of the past, but you are comfortable with not capitalizing your "i" and writing kno instead of know.

Dipshit l33t is also very 2006.

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

Agreed — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:39:19 -0000

He's right. This isn't You Tube. It's BoLS.

That's not taking oneself too seriously. That's just basic expectations given the way this site has been run for a long time now. It was a legitimate complaint and to minimize it by saying that those readers are "whiny" is to miss the point.

The post was out of place, and wasn't even really that funny. it was tired and sophomoric and it had nothing to do with gaming, which is what this site is supposed to be about.

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

Ork & Orc Collector — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:36:02 -0000

Or, those of us who aren't poor or cheap, and who like the GW mini diorama, might choose to purchase that one.

There's a reason why that series is called the "Collector's Range"....

Azzy — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:03:35 -0000

Dude, let it go. If you didn't find it amusing, fine, but others did.

One thing I realized, though, after that incident: Despite what a lot of people claim, it's not Warseer, or Dakka, or B&C, etc. that's filled with whiny posters that take themselves way too seriously. No, it's become quite apparent that that's just WH40K/WHFB players in general. Sad as that is.

Honestly, Warseer is far more civil than what I've seen here lately.

Sorry I was in rush and did not have time to mess around with
capitalization and the know problem was just a typo. Also there is no need
to curse.

captain_ideaus — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:39:13 -0000

brass, i kno i should keep it on a diffrent thread, but can you like shout at bulwark or something? the whole rick-roll thing is really stupid, and the title at first got my hopes up. it was a really stupid thing to do, and really changed my opinion off b.o.l.s., as i atcually expected a thunderhawk of some sort.

Re: NEWS: Stompa, Deffrolla, Apocalypse and More.

captain_ideaus — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:35:24 -0000

true, but the topic was something that seemed legit, and rick rolling
should stay in 2006 and 4chan. Also, BOLS is normally above this, and not
many people found it funny, just look at the thread comment board for it.
