Dude, I know that someone can read something into a post that you totally didn't mean unless you completely spell it out sometimes.

Just wanted everyone to know that I wasn't trying to start any beef.

Yeah no kidding. There is already enough beef in this thread to make a double double.

I am sorry Skyth, I am not trying to say that competitive players are not fun. I posted that I played some competitive players that are a lot of fun. The purpose of my post is that there should be room for everybody, and we should all have fun. In a perfect world everybody would go with an attitude to have fun. I think we can all have fun! I love going to the BSB and seeing all the different armies, with different themes. To me seeing all the variation and creativity in the 40k universe is fun. Sometimes when a tournament is very competitive you will see very similar armies because those army builds are the ones that work best.

I appreciate somebody who is competitive and does enjoy using tatics in order to overcome an opponent. In my opinion it is even more fun when you use tatics and cunning to win with a fluffy army against a very competitive army. For me the most memorable and fun games are the ones where you are perceived as being out matched and you still win becuase of some cool tatic you were able to employ or even a crazy bit of luck.

I do plan on going to the BSB, and I don't plan on bringing an overly competitive list. I want the list to be balanced, and I look forward to playing with guys who are seasoned tournament players because I always learn something from them. I don't mind if I loose as long as I have a fun time doing it. I want everybody to come, and everybody to have fun. Skyth I am sure you are a fun guy and I am sorry if I inadvertently upset you by implying comptitive players are not fun. There are many competitive players who are loads of fun, and there are some that are not fun at all to play against. The same could be said about casual gamers, there are some that are lots of fun to play and some that are not fun to play. I look forward to going to the BSB meeting new friends, playing against new and different armies and just having a chance to hang out and talk nerdy 40k talk with everybody.

I hope to see you all there.
