Ok Doug, I'm calling you out to the 40k bike wracks! ;D This forum was created for you and me and the masses want blood. BTW you sick people, it's sad that the threads that "go down the drain" get three times more clicks than even the most popular tournament discussions. If our ratings get any better, we will have our own reality show on TLC. Anyways, the good stuff. I challenge you to one game of 40k! On the line will be the title of The Geekiest Gladiator, keeper of the nerd rage. The winner of the title must host/TO one of the monthly events with a format of his choosing. The looser must attend and enjoy himself ;D as well as abstaining from internet flaming, trolling, and jabbing for 6 months You can set the points level (1500-2500), choose the venue, and provide terrain. But I want everything 100% RAW. I want mysterious jungles, lethal nurgling fecal pools, and exploding objectives galore. I will take photos and batrep it like all my games without any shots at you, your army, or your job. Hell, the way these guys egg us on and enjoy the aftermath, we could sell tickets for charity. I'm sure some of these sick freaks would give up their Real Housewives to watch you and me go at it. I can do Saturday 9/29 at 5pm if that works for you. If not, throw something out and I'll try to make it happen.

Aw man, not the weekend I am out of town! I'd pay to sit in and watch this game. Hell, I might even buy drinks afterwards.

Holy nuts, there kay need to be security for this one, a beer vendor and some good eats...hell even reserved seating. Afterwards will there be pants dropping sword fighting action followed by a dance off and rap battle? Maybe even a gag reflex challenge? The possibilities are endless Live feed please
My money is on the black guy

All joking aside, if you wanted a way to get my attention, you chose correctly! Back in my days it was the flag pole, whatever...
Challenge accepted!
A few caveats however:
1) Millenium will be the place since I am certain we will have a group of gawkers. Anyone showing up please be respectful and bring your crap so that you can have a good time as well. ( I said crap again!!! )
2) It most likely will have to be next saturday (10-6) since this weekend there is a weekend long Magic prerelease ( according to their calendar). 5pm works for me. Alternately, Boldo's any sunday at noon.
3) Player set terrain. You can bring it or I can, or we can use the stores, whatever works best for you.
4) You may choose my army, and the point cost, hell you can make and post the list as well! Since you are calling me out I will wait for you to decided.
5) Missions straight from the book, rolled at the time of the event as well as deployment, etc.
6) I will be happy to host an event and help out.
7) You can bat rep whatever you like. Hey that's your thing, if that is what you enjoy please feel free.
8) If I lose I will dial it back maybe from 10 to 4 or 5 with the flaming and insults but don't ever expect it to go away completely. Rather than lie to you upfront, this is the best I am certain that I can do. I know me all too well.
If you really want that to go away though I am suggesting that you do a few things:
-Shake my hand -Laugh -Smile -Enjoy the game ( Remember this is a game!!!!! ) -Stop taking this crap so seriously!!!!
I could care less if I win or lose ( I rarely care) but if you and I walk away from the table having enjoyed a hard fought 40K game that's all that will matter. THAT is the way you will earn an ounce of respect from me and ultimately tone down my ranting. Let's face it I am never going to agree with you 100% or anyone else for that matter, but if you want to play a game then let's do it and have some fun!

Sweet. Let's say 10/6 then. That way, Kevin can get his ginger jollies. Horst can set his alarm now and get his beauty sleep. Joe, don't forget your seatbelt and you'll want side airbags for this ;D Maybe Jeremy can fly up and put on a short skirt while he waves his pom poms and cheers for you. We can coincide it with the chaos release if that stays on schedule. Joe has an entire girl scout troop under his roof, maybe they can make some chaos cookies and we can have a bake sale for charity ;D Bring your terrain. I want to see what it feels like to play on truly diverse, 6th ed RAW carnivorous exploding toxic goodness. I'm not going to choose your army list for you. I want you to bring your geekiest gladiator list. No kiddie gloves or falling on the sword. We'll do 1850pts and I'll bring my triple character DE. Not because it's a WAAC douchefest rule exploiting power list. It's the army I'm most proud of from a conversion and painting perspective and represents my love of the hobby. That, and I'm practicing for DaBoyz GT where I can cut off my self imposed chains and run with the big boys I expect the same from you so bring whatever army you geek out the most about. I accept all your terms and bullet points. I've smiled, laughed, shaken more hands, and enjoyed more games than ever since 6th ed. Don't give me too much credit, I take "this crap" about as seriously as Rosanne running for president. My back and forth with you is done with just as much jest and chuckling as you put into it. I thought if I added enough smiley faces you would get that, you know how internet tone is so often misconstrued and all. Anyways, looking forward to a fun game and giving the peanut gallery some laughs. Y'all better come get your money's worth because I'm retiring my gladiator gloves. Someone else will have to carry the geek torch and lead the angry mob in chasing around the 40k frankenstein that is MajorSOB!

wars... check, plagues... check, famine... check, moral decay in society... check, doug and aaron getting together playing in an agreed gentleman's match... check I guess the Mayans were right after all... the end of the world is coming. Cue Johnny Cash's "When the Man Comes Around" -

Ya know Kevin you are right....let me know if the game stays civil all the way through. If so I may have to get my butt back in church hehe.
On a side note I HIGHLY recommend that anyone watching the game make it a point to stay OUT of the game. Let these guys work it out and dont try to interject rules and such while they are playing.

Rules interventions won't be needed, but it wouldn't be a Geek Gladiator grudge match without heckling. I know Kevin keeps a pocket book of zingers and one-liners he's itching to use on us. In fact, I'm expecting the atmosphere to resemble a bunch of Bills fans watching the game at a bar, not a tennis match as Doug and I grunt our ways around the table with an occasional clap.
And really Joe? For someone who despises "Hulk Smash" events, your summer tour of events matches Stelek's list of approval. ;D

And really Joe? For someone who despises "Hulk Smash" events, your summer tour of events matches Stelek's list of approval. ;D +1 So what is the fascination with traveling several hundred miles, paying for both hotel accomidations as well as the price of admission to tournaments where the lists are far more abusive than the ones locally? Is the deciding factor that everyone will oh and ah over your painting? My offer for the posted pic with the caption "Worlds Greatest 40K Painter" still stands! ----Update---- I stopped Travis in the hallway tonight and he is on board. He confirmed that this weekend is a Magic prerelease and that space will be a premium, so Oct 6 is a go. I was mulling over the idea of an impartial ref to make any calls that may be close. Hey Aaron, how about Kevin? I think he would be acceptable to both of us. Would this be OK with you Kevin? I would rather have one person make any close calls then throw those decisions to the wolves. I watched the Green Bay game last night and I don't want to see that happen! Also, I am calling a cease fire on smack talk until the day of the event. That means no busting Aaron's balls until after the game. I think this is fair, and I plan to abide by this. I am working on my list right now. This event will be fun. I hope to see as many of you there next saturday to enjoy the festivities. Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!!
