*cough*lower points*cough*

Unfortunately the ITC crowd voted not once, but twice to not change the points levels.

I personally would love to see points at 2000 or more, or at least a format that supports that size games =). I think it would be interesting to see if data shows what armies/types of armies have trouble finishing games and so on... And if such data exists, maybe someone can point me to it.

that would be interesting, but what decisions could that inform? It might suggest capping a ceiling on psychic dice, which some tournaments have experimented with, or capping model count which is common in Kill Team tournaments. But every new army construction restriction risks excluding really cool collections.

Maybe the ITC electorate would support new construction rules aimed at match completion, but the past two votes on points suggest the majority value bringing cool stuff over finishing games.

Well, my average model count in my armies tends to be around 40 and I tend to play fast...

Some players just take too long to make their decisions and it doesn't help that some of them play armies that just have a lot of models. I think some form of chess clock feature in an event might be helpful for some players to see where they are taking too long and to collect data.

I mean, sometimes I take a long time to make decisions if there are some huge decisions to consider but then there are games where I literally take 10 minutes to do all my turns and my game barely gets to turn 4 and it's miserable =(.

People want their points...and to complain about games not finishing, haha.

But yeah, all the data indicates our players want more points, not less even though the data also shows us 1650pt games finish far more frequently.

See you all there! Whew, only a month to go! Coming up soon.

I'm surprised the detachment limit stuck. The game is going towards all these weird micro-factions, etc... and three formations is TOUGH to do when attempting to justify some of them...

... IE making room for the MANDATORY Culexus.

Yeah, me too, actually. But hey, gamers can be resistant to change.

40k Apoc just sold out! Don't wait to grab those tickets.

Got screwed by my staffing coordinator and work 2 days that weekend. Transferring the ticket to someone else wish I could go.

Sorry you can't make it, buddy =(

I just played in a local 2 day GT for AoS and managed to finish all of them in the 2.5 hr limit.

We had a skaven and goblin player and didnt have any issues with slow play.

Hoping for the same results in Vegas.

Where was this? Always on the hunt for AoS events

Game Kastle Winter War in San Jose. May be a trip for you but winter war at 55* vs 5* in midwest ☺

Winter is relative here...

If you want a rules question for LVO 2017 answered by the judges you can ask it here:

AoS warscrolls all have to have a points profile, correct?

Just making sure.

No Facebook

Then I would suggest contacting them via email. I wouldn't count on any official answers coming through Forums in a timely manner.

They need points, yes.

Saw 1 or 2 on Swap Forum. FYI. Reece can I get my wife a entry pass so she can come and go? She's not playing and it will keep me from being a neglectful man boy....

This looks awesome! Do they sell out every year? I cant go this year, never gone, but would love to! Wondering if theyll have it next year again?

When will streams start?

So stoked about this year!

I'm not in any events, but I might use the free play area for a pick up game of some kind.

Mostly I'm excited to check out the vendors. Can't wait to see what Forge World brings!

To get ready:

a. Listen to Reece (in a sleep deprived state of bitching and complaining ) & Frankie talk about what to do:

http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/b/a/b/babe800e9576506a/Signals_audio_504.mp3?c_id=14034556&expiration=1485839502&hwt=dc1ab2822176dd0182c5fe8f8c8f5093


b. Download the BestCoastPairings app. It is used for submitting scores and getting your next match up, opponent's list, etc.

I used it to keep tabs on Carmona's Ease Into GT.

b. Make Excel spread sheet for my army list, and printing it in large font so the BCP picture looks good, on One Page.

c. Pack chapstick and lotion.

d. get cash for ForgeWorld and other vendor goodness.

e. aspirin

f. super glue
#gravityhappens

g. FAQs asked and answered (screen shots) for your army's more shenanigan oriented rules ... like corsairs. Have printed rules, or if asked from the (now closed) FaceBook ITC judging crew's thread, have the screen shot (I do!).

h. comfy shoes

i. 99 cent timer (for Battle Co, Demi-Co and Eldar/Spider heavy lists).

I used to play Spider & Jetbike goofery, so I know. If you bring one of these, play it well, and be mindful of time for you and your opponent.

Actual game stuff:
1. Two tape measures
2. templates (hellstorm & Apoc sized for those Skathaches)
3. Carry tray
4. That one paper copy for the ludite players out there. Like Allan Hernandez.

5. Know that the Fall of Cadia, Celestine and GW FAQ (released last week) are no good, at least Reece begs so at minute 21. (don't take this last for granted, read the ITC FAQ for yourself)


Lastly, though you've been shocked by the new executive administrations actions, be more prepared to be more shocked that I will Win It All. Nick, who? Hayden, huh?

Reece from the future hasn't approved Reece from the presents request to get LVO on the ITC circuit. No email from Reece, no BCP listing.

It's there.

Somewhere in a hotel room in America a nerdgasm is reaching its crecendo.

I hope that is not all one army... yeesh!

About to hit the road. See you all there.

Ummm what are the plans for chapstick and lotion?

Cause I would like to win some games. Just don't know if I want to win THAT baddly.

Make sure to grab your hotel room, soon if you have not done so! After December, our room rate will not be held any longer and prices may go up. Also, the hotel is likely to fill up as it is Super Bowl weekend.

So please don't wait on those hotel rooms.

Just out of sheer curiosity, has the AoS entries sold out or we didn't pass the 100 participants treshold?

Las Vegas is really, really dry. Protect your skin. It's the only one you have. Unless you're a crazy murderer.
