-I did not set up the tournament so I have no idea what maps were used. Yes some tournament threads list the maps being used but not all do -Who is notable to you? Also you are better off collecting names from the Tournament Director. I have yet to see a regular contestant performing a census on those attending that day |

Re: Competitive Heroscape is not dominated by A+
Yes, that's the standard treatment for trolls and I recommend it here & elsewhere on other boards.
The problem with DA's particular brand of trolling, from my perspective, is that he makes it sound like (a) you need to have units XYZ to win at Heroscape tournaments, (b) Heroscape tournaments are not friendly, open environments, and (c) Heroscape tournaments are no place for the nervous or new player. You and I, Frylock, know better, of course. I don't really care to change his mind, obviously you can't win an argument with a troll, but it is unacceptable to me that a lurker or impressionable reader might look at his posts, unchallenged, and think that may be what competitive Scape is like. So even though I know you aren't supposed to argue with trolls, because this particular troll focusses on an issue that affects the life of the hobby, I will take time out of my day to ridicule and refute him. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but for the event I have coming up in a week and a half I've already been contacted by two guys who are very nervous about coming out to their first Heroscape tournaments. I have explained to both of them that Heroscape tournaments are friendly and welcoming and you don't need any mastery or special things to come and play and have a good time, and you don't need any particular unit or group of units to win. Hopefully that's what they needed to hear and they'll be able to come. But who will write that to the local guys in Kansas City? Chicago? Minneapolis? I can't have him pushing those people indoors when they'll have a good time, and it would be best for the hobby, if they came out and played, or they decided to arrange a game day or a tournament. Me putting him on ignore doesn't help those people. |

Re: Competitive Heroscape is not dominated by A+
If anyone fears going to an event because of anything that I have posted then they really have misinterpreted what I have said. Heroscape events are indeed friendly in atmosphere. However, that does not mean that the game itself might or might not be cut throat (depends 100% on who is playing). However, if your goal is to win then some units in deed give you a much better chance than other units. Still, though, even the A+ units are beatable, which is what keeps them at A+ and not broken.

Re: Competitive Heroscape is not dominated by A+
What wasn't reasonable about my response, Xraine? The explanation should be interesting. (unless you take census data at events you visit)

And about your packers reference. I am a HUGE packers fan. Even if I am in Minnesota. I prefer close tight games. Those are the fun,exciting, interesting games I enjoy watching. Sure winning by a lot can be fun, I rather see a game that comes down to the very end. |

What Dignan is asking for, in other words, is a completely typical tournament summary for the events in question. I could produce everything he asked for for nearly every event I've ever attended. In two cases I would have to PM R˙chean for a complete list of players, but I would definitely do so if it was going to earn me two squads of Heavy Gruts. It's completely understandable that he would ask for these things, given that he's putting up a rather valuable commodity. If you need to PM TDs to get this information, then PM TDs. It's certainly worth your time. Or, you know, make excuses and clam up. That works, too. |

You mean to tell me that at least one or two events don't stand out in your mind like that? Dignan offered a squad per event you could list and I believe he would fulfill his end of the bargain. Would it not be worth to list just a couple of events? EDIT: Interesting enough for you? Guess I'm getting back into Scape Last edited by xraine69; May 12th, 2011 at 05:10 PM. |
