Someone help me out though-general query. Why are GW employees allowed to compete in a GW competition? Nothing against GW employees, but usually employees of an organization running a competition are not allowed to compete.

They have their own category.

It was mentioned earlier, but the Open Category is open to absolutely anyone, including previous Slayer Sword winners and staff. It has the most inclusive entry criteria (allows scratch-built 54mm minis for example, doesn't need to include GW bitz). It's kind of the cage-match of painting and modelling; anything goes. This is open to 'eavy Metal painters as well.

I don't recall an Open entry ever winning a Slayer Sword, and I believe the intention is that you can't win the SS through but I could be wrong.

This thread is full of fail. Apparently if you call someone out on their cheating you're just a bully and an donkey-cave who takes Warhams way too seriously.

I don't take the hobby all that seriously, I just hate cheaters. But honestly I can't fathom why anyone would actually defend the guy, or the unapologetic donkey-cave he commissioned. This isn't some minor technicality, he broke a major rule, he didn't earn or deserve his prize and I'm glad GW had the balls to enforce their own fething rules this time.

God, the Warhammer scene is a pretty spineless one, isn't it? "Oh hey, we don't care what you do in painting competitions or tournaments! Cheat all you want, we're cool, I mean we may play with plastic toys but we're not nerds about it, feth that amiright? I don't even know why we play this stupid game, Warhammer is so gay. Please say we're cool, please, PLEASE!"

I'm down with GW em,ps having their own category. Not that keen on them if they are in other categories though. But I don't have a dog in that hunt and imagine at this level all persons have substantial access to resources (which is my issue). Its all good.

Sid you're just a bully and a donkey-cave who takes Warhams too seriously. sorry couldn't resist. You really should be a mod, I tweak them the same amount, ask Malf.

There is no longer an employee category, so now the only category an employee can compete in is the open. There use to be an employee version of each category, now they cut the number of trophies in half, by dropping them.

And this is the exact reason that I REFUSE to spend the money and waste the time to go to GD and enter anything. GW will 'ban' these two from further entry & demand the return of the trophies. Oh my! In the mean time, the fellow who did the painting will increase his commision price 3 fold, sit back and rake in the dollars. I guess, as wrong as it may be ethically, that it's just the way of things.... I still don't have to like it.

This thread reminds me of a scene from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure:

Biker #2: I say we kill him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!
Biker #3: I say we hang him, then we kill him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!
Biker #4: I say we stomp him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!
Biker #4: Then we tattoo him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!
Biker #4: Then we hang him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!!
Biker #4: And then we kill him!
Biker Gang: YEAH!!!
Pee-wee: [tries to throw his voice without moving his lips] I say we let him go.
Biker Gang: NO!!!
Biker Mama: [whistles] I say ya let ME have him first!

You do that, it'd be pretty ungrateful not to get top marks!

Of course, it'd be better if, at the very end of the event, it's a Crying Game situation and all of your opponents rush to the bathroom...

That movie was so full of suck and fail that I can't believe it was even released to video. The only amusing part in the whole thing was Large Marge - and only then if you aren't expecting it.

I hope that when you are making love to your favorite barn yard animal and you set the scene with candles and lighting and the mood is perfect then the candle falls over and sets the barn on fire and you're genitals are horribly burned and fused to whatever beast you decide to copulate with and you have to live with the dead burned corpse of your farmyard lover attached to your pelvis as the doctors are unable to remove it then after years of staring in the cold dead lifeless eyes of said animal you decide to end your life by throwing yourself off a bridge but the dead body of your lover catches on a overhanging rafter leaving you stranded hanging by your groin stuck to the dead body of your lover then Carrier Pidgeons peck out your eyes and eat your tongue and you stay there for days hanging from underneath the bridge until you die of starvation, blind and unable to cry for help hanging from underneath a bridge with your dead lovers corpse fused to your genitals.

...yeah, someone likes them their Pee-Wee.

"This is crack."

I prostrate myself before you, oh master of hate and spite, teach me your ways so that I may use them to smite mine foes.

No offense but, I dislike you a great deal.

forgive me if that's not a womens name, it seems the most similiar to Carol so...

You may ask Pope John Paul II to intercede on your behalf if you wish forgiveness...

Actually he was accused of gambling on baseball games.. He says he never bet on a game he was involved in, others think otherwise...

Usually when one gambles on a game, where you cheat in it, you cheat to -lose- as that's the sure thing...

Is anyone surprised!?!? This isnt the only fraud to come out of Chicago recently....

Modquisiiton on: this thread is so closed its not funny.
