A bit of fun which I hope will be carried out the proper spirit... Two rules, nothing abusive and you can't do yourself

RAW says we may fire back. Also that we may stay to get shot

My money would be on that the number of active accounts on Dakka would start to decrease rapidly
Also, that most of us would try to throw together a tank out of debris scattered accross the battlefield and our solution to the enemy having a bigger gun would be:

Step 1: Get more Dakka.

Is they dead yet?
Yes: Step 2b
No: Step 2a

Step 2a: Get more boyz, go to step 1.

Step 2b: Loot their gun and put it on yer tank.

As soon as you armed the dakkaites a civil war would erupt and the survivors would split into cynical warbands.

Major warbands would be Fluffmongers, WAAC, Da Mob (the ork only players), Team Apathy (the Lurkers) and the Disciples of HATE who hate everything!

The WAAC warband battlecry would be "Down with Jervis!", but they wouldn't last as RAI and RAW factions would kill each other and all that would remain would be GWAR holding Cheese Elemental skull and jabbering about wolftime.

The Fluffmongers would be civil towards one another but lack any effective tactics and die to the man against the Da Mob.

Team apathy did something but no one noticed.

The HATE warband led by Chaplian HBMC would destroy Da Mob when Da mob attacked them for fun. They would destroy all other opposition and as the High Lords (GW) continued to rise prices and make dumb decisions their ranks swelled until their numbers were greater then the stars themselves. The HATE warband the would lead their Hate crusade to nottingham and destory all that was there. There common enemy destroyed The HATE warband happily took to killing one another. Several survive to this day and they lurk in the ruins of nottingham ready to kill anyone they meet.

I think flashman would be something akin to Sharpe. Popular with the ladies, with a "love 'em and leave 'em" attidute. And as we commence our glorious charge, he shouts "Tally Ho!" before getting his head blown off. (or ducking for cover while everyone else get thiers blown off)

And me.

Frazz would be too busy drinking beer in the back lines and shooting at random cars passing by and yelling "Get off my lawn you commie kids!"

I can only Imagine you as a soldier.

You would be good at killing random people

Frazzled wouldn't be a soldier, he'd be a beserker that w'd release on the field of battle and just hope to heck that he does more damage to the enemy than he does to us.

I would be the guy that quits immediately, because I wouldn't want to serve with any of you, and god forgive me, but I WILL quit if I'm ever told that any of my subordinates spend time on dakka.

The guys in my section would sooner have told people they were going to a gay night than off to play wargames

I'd be the one trying hard to fight the/a war, but most likely failing miserably...

Or I'd get eaten trying to tame a wolf to ride into battle on...

Flattering, but with ladies I always found it was the other way round with them leaving not long after they found the Warhammer cupboard (seriously folks, you'll save yourself no end of messing about if you mention Warhammer on the first date).

And yes, I'd be well and truly in the ducking for cover camp, though only after shouting "Tally Ho!" for the fun of it.

Darts. One pie qould get the whole map. You save the pie for when you order in the continental orbital cbombardment to cover up your mistakes, er stop the advancing enemy from gaining a foothold in this system.

Following in dad's footsteps, excellent!


Somehow a Lawn with restritced access fits into all of this. But I don't see how.

Thats the lawn surrounding the super secret Project "ice cream truck."

Gwar would be that commisar guy who corrects the soldiers diciplinarily. All the other soldiers would tell him he was right for fear of retribution.

Well I think it would be more akin to a preist or something. Though they would likely divide into two seperate groups or RAW and RAI both sects would be able to wield giant chainswords.

I am the sand that jams the enemy's rifles. I am the glint in the sun that blinds their snipers. I am the chilling cold that freezes the enemy's engine blocks. For I am the constant death that lurks unseen always ready to take another!

Well after the combined might of all dakkaites we would take over the world and require everyone that could hold a brush to play 40k.
The super-nation would try to find a name, Gwar wants to name it GwarLand while H.B.M.C would want to name it The world of hate. JohnHwang would want to name it after some reference no one got. Frazzled would just yell at the other leaders saying proverbs.

Meanwhile, The world is split up into nations again each major nation being for different people, The Fluffsters, Hordes 'R' Fun, Speez marienz, Competitive playing, and of course the BURN EVERYTHING TRIBE.

The Fluffsters see themselves above everyone else and take over the world but then lose it and start dieing off slowly.

Speez Marinez would occupy most of the world after the Fluffsters and be very strict and require everyone to do 100 push ups each day.

The Competitive players create a super rocket and fly there nation to mars and make a huge warehouse that house's there nation and start creating wonderful things.

Hordes 'r' fun would unite with BURN EVERYTHING and start taking back land from the Speez marienz very slowly though.

5 years later

The BURN EVERYTHING would betray Hordes 'r' fun because they don't like how hordes roll because they all are grey most of the time. The Hordes 'r' fun would retreat to Antarctica to lick there wounds.

The BURN EVERYTHING and Speez marienz go toe to toe on fighting each other. The outcome of this war cannot be foretold yet....

1 year later

All the used to be dakka leaders unite to make a super-elite but super drunk ragtag bunch of people, they cut down the Speez marienz and BURN EVERYTHING and make the world whole again only to fight again on what to name it....
