Oh, I’m not sure about “Sage”.... I've been taken outside behind the internet woodshed a number of times now in 10 years or so of AdeptiCon...

I’ve heard outstanding things about the Alamo, and the Baileys from those that have attended over the years. It’s great to see your expanding and not only running a great WFB event but offering up some 40K as well. Not to mention saving my bacon a few years ago with the miniature. : )

It’s just disappointing, that typically what gets reported about events on the internet is a very small portion of the overall experience. It leaves a false impression on the unknowing about the tourney environment and events as a whole.

Thankfully, the things I remember about events and the friends I have made, are more lasting than any internet drama.

That explains the sage wisdom. LOL, sorry haven't been on Dakka enough to know people by their handles.

We had at least one player from our group in Houston that went and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Just a thought, but does anyone want to talk about any other part of the amazingly fun tournament that took place this past weekend that was the Alamo GT?

I for one had a great time and played some amazing people. I really enjoyed the tourney that John and his crew put on and my group from Seattle will be looking forward to coming back next year. We are already in talks of comning to wargamescon this year, just trying to work out logistics.

I look forward to playing more people from the BOLS crew and possibly getting a crack at Goatboy next time. I hope you all had as much fun as I did, and I really do hope that this "internet drama" does not overshadow the event as a whole.

Again, thanks to John and his crew and we look forward to seeing you all again.

I started doing 40K last year to try to grow a 40K GT community here in Texas, which is underserved. We had BOLSCon, now Wargamescon, and not much else, while on the WFB side there has been 5-6 70+ player GT's for years in each major city plus Lubbock. Adapting my processes to 40K has been a great learning experience, learned alot this year. Someday I will make it to Adepticon, I've heard great stories from Texas and Leadership2 players who have been.

...and anytime you want more Incursion minis, just drop me a line.

Well put! I had a great time and I intentionally brought a woefully underpowered army. I got to make new friends and play armies I don't see around home. Mission accomplished!

Yes please!

I actually had a great time! My wife and I got a free hotel stay out of the experience because the Marriott shafted us.

My favorite part of GTs is getting to put faces to names I recognize - which is why I wear my "Dashofpepper" shirt. John pointed us out to a great Mexican restaurant and some of us went there for dinner on Saturday night...I had...I guess I would call it a "Fancy" Enchilada.

I was trying to make up for lunch - I went to the "Hog Shack" with some other guys and had a mystery meat imitation of a Philly Cheese Steak.

That's pretty common in certain parts of San Antonio. It's when you ask for a sandwich and get it on a tortilla that you realize things may not be quite as you expected.

fixed!

when are the GT results going to be posted?

Well I don't even know Dash - but he sure brings along a lot of internet drama - that's for sure!

I'd like to think all the contributors to this thread and the one about drinking at tourneys. It has really provided me with a LOT of entertainment this week!

Please - bring on more internet drama! WOOT!

Dakka is completely full of internet drama right now, no room for more. Specifically, the CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT is all the rage!
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/369671.page

Its CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to you!

Dash should get a sponsor and change his name to something like: DashofpepperbroughttoyoubyDrPepper. Then at least he might get paid a bit for all the internet drama.

Silly Dash asking for a Philly Cheeseteak south of the Mason Dixon line. Actually, if you want a cheesesteak in San Antonio or Austin, the place to go is Texadelphia Cafe, IMO...

Hells yeah. Good times whenever Tau can take second in a GT! I was wondering if the standings I saw previously were official or not. Tau FTW!

I would like to make something very clear in this thread for people. Just because a person is from Austin does not make them part of the bols website or group. The only people in the touranment from Bols and representing Bols were the following:
Jwolf
Thomas aka goatboy
Jay roy
Darkwynn Nick Rose


We have all said good luck and congrats on the win. What I do find and something that I think is very unprofesional for a person claiming to be professional is responding in a way to create more strife , create a negative perpection around someone or illicit a emotional response.

I would suggest thinking twice before saying certain things. Telling someone you dont how how they got this far with a crappy army does't do you any favors. Might help improve some of your perceptions people have about you unless you enjoy drama.

Then its a good thing that I DIDN'T say that, isn't it?

This thread has moved past drama. Don't try rekindling it.

Dash, you know what you said to wolf and myself. I would just suggest thinking twice before saying the things you did. You might have a reaction that might have been different if you carried yourself in a more professional manner that you are trying to state.

Unless like i said above you enjoy the drama keep at it but don't expect to get peaceful interactions with everyone you meet either.
Eiher way Wolf and i could care less we are too old for this crap. This is just words of wisdom that you can take or ignore your choice.

I might have to go to the Railhead Rumble just to get in one some of the drama.

I took the time to speak with Dash and David and they both seemed like great guys. I didn't have an opportunity to talk to Chris, but I can't imagine he's a bad guy either. It's a shame all this nonsense had to come out over a tabletop game.

Otherwise, I think everyone there had a good time!

I only played and met Jay Roy, but I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the BOLS crew at Wargamescon. Hopefully Jay and I don't have a rematch.

Sounds like everyone had a good time at the GT and I for one LOVE the internet drama. I think if anything it makes people more interested in future touneys. Just my opinion. I hope Dash and the BOLS crew can hash out their differences and Dash attends BOLS...er....Wargamescon this year. I am really trying to work it out to make it down there this year as well.

Dash if you dont attend and I can, maybe Ill wear the Tshirt with that green head cat thing that is your Avatar and people will assume you attended. Ill run one of your armies..the whole shebang. Or maybe you could get a handful of people to wear these shirts and it will be a Spartacus type moment.

Either way -any talk Ive heard about the Alamo has been positive with the exception of the lack of LOS blocking terrain, but it sounds like the Austin folks were willing to help out for future GT's.

Love the drama, the rivalry, and as long as it stays civil...I say keep it up.

I say round 1 pairings at the Railhead Rumble be decided by grand melee fistfight. We all wear timers that go out when we're knocked unconscious. Those with knocked-out times closest to one another play each other round 1.

.....what? It's a great idea.

I was happy to see Wolf 11x and his dad - we all used to game together while I was at University, and to see them again really brought me back. A shame I couldn't play either of them though. Honestly Wolf's list probably would have sent me packing with all that S6.

What like 45+ S6 shots per turn? That's just ridiculous. Such a cheesy list, I can't believe it.

I'll be bringing a different army entirely to Wargamescon. Additionally, my Dad and I are doing the team tournament as well.

If you're there, we should all get a game in for old times' sake!

Also, I posted some pics of your army halfway down Page 5.

That's pretty sweet. =D

I would totally send you a T-shirt too. Bring a bottle of Captain Morgan, wear the shirt, and a bunch of people are going to introduce themselves to you. I'll get PMs on Dakka "Grats on winning XXXX event!" I'll even make up some battle reports to go along with it.

Scores are up! I ended up 6th, right after Dash.

Separation from me and Dash [we both had same points, he got me on general though] to top score was only 7 points. Had I only managed a win instead of a baaaaaaaaarely tie on game 4 I'd have had it all! Damn you hard to kill wave serpents! Why can't 20 marines with meltas and grenades drop you over two turns of shooting and assault?!

Damnit, there is no beef between Dash and the Bols Crew. There is beef between people from Austin and Dash stop bringing in Bols people's names in this when they are not part of BOLS! Bols has wished Dash the best of luck and congrats him on his win.

Man, that guy must be awesome to make enemies with an entire major city.

Did that in D&D once. List of enemies: the entire sect of Incabulos and every city whose governments they had subverted.

Keep it on-topic, people.

Since his wife does the painting, I'm looking forward to the "Mrs. Dash Painting Service"

I've heard nothing but good things about the Alamo. Unfortunately it always falls on the weekend of my daughter's birthday and I haven't been able to sneak away yet.
