1)Alpharius for him picking on me alot of the time and he seems like a funny guy.
2) Gwar! just out of curiousity.
3) KingCracker for being a guy i could see pretty funny playing against.

Ha!

I'm going to stretch it a bit and say...

1) ANY of the DCM's and MOD crew
2) Gwar!
3) Vindicator#9 - for the reasons he's listed!

And you know that we'd have to bring as many Vindicators as possible!

You play BA and there could be 9...9 Vindicators ah ah ah!

no one wants to play with yakface? gGhah

Assuming that it's a day game with beer and a proper break for a civilized lunch, I'll go with:
- Frazzled
- Nurglitch
- Lunahound

Oh, and WRT Yakface, being local, he'd be a fine pinch hitter if either of my Canadian picks get hung up by US Border Control / Immigration.

Id like to play against blackmoor, dashofpepper, and hulksmash, just because they seem like the most competitive players on here.

Ive played against blackblowfly, gornall, and starbomber109, far as dakka guys go.

Blackmoor is a big teddy bear.

Bascially, the guys from the Sentry Box...

Oh, and Lunahound, just because there used to be a time when I was a better painter, when I was still doing my Orkz, long before she completely surpassed me. I would like to reminisce of the days of models long gone.

There's plenty of friendly, articulate people on Dakka it would seem.
Basically any of them would do if they had a fully painted 12K force.
I'd imagine anyone with that level of committment would be a fair match of madness.

Yakface, Lunahound, and Gwar.

Can we go shooting first?

DashofPepper - I recon that I would learn a lot from playing against/with him.

3 games with him and I think my level of ability would be raised considerably

And I will be playing against a few people from here in Nottingham later this year, which will be cool.

Yakface - cuz i've always wanted to meet Sean Connery.
Gwar! - For the lulz.
Frazzled - Fun hick with a mullet shooting bottles in backyard while dining on his 2kg steak.

For all of you who want to play people from Dakka:

Download Vassal. Then download Vassal's 40k module. Then Download Skype for voicechat.

There is already a community of us Dakka players who do play each other regularly through our computers, and Vassal is an excellent simulation of table-top gameplay. I'll note that I have gotten to play against Gwar several times. He knows the rules quite thoroughly and in real life is a funny and charming guy. He argues for RAW here on Dakka; in a game he says things like, "Well, technically according to RAW we would <insert here>" but then continues on with the logical course of action. From time to time, we'll be talking about something and he'll say "RAW, that's illegal." And I'll answer with "That's how I play it, that's how its ruled at every tournament I've ever been to, that's how it makes sense to play it, and I'm going to ignore you and continue to do so." He doesn't get fussy - Gwar doesn't necessarily want everyone to play BY RAW, he just wants people to understand what the RAW is; kinda like I don't want all ork players to copy my list and play like me, but I want them to understand how I build lists, formulate tactics, and use that knowledge to become good in their own right.

I thought Gwar was a douche for a long time too until I met him (so to speak).

I've gotten to play against Hulksmash (who is my sportsmanship mentor, personal 40k idol and arguably one of the finest 40k players on the planet), Reecius (extremely competitive and also extremely good), Blackmoor (played him at the SoCal Slaughter in Space GT), and a host of other dakkaites.

On that note, I'll play a game against anyone who is fun and booze it up while I'm doing it. The best 40k games are those at my house involving snacks and liquor, or a tournament that I didn't drive to where I brought liquor. I have more fun when I'm drunk, and because I'm extremely competitive, booze takes the edge off, makes me a better sportsman, and lets me let the little things slide. "You moved that 7", please redo that" and "When you assault, you have to move into base with unengaged models where possible" kind of stuff.

There are only two people that I CRAVE a game against, but there is a third "type" of people that I crave games with.

1. Stelek. It started with his editorial Orks Really Suck and his venomous dismissal of any contrary opinion. It escalated with him writing an article about me and why I suck, why my orks suck, and why I'm not competitive. Some folks linked me to his blog, noting that there was an article about me, and I responded - he cut the response and made a whole new "Lets Bash on Dashofpepper" article titled Emo Ranting. And he did the same with with my last attempt at communication in that thread, with another article about how I was butt-hurt. In short, here's a guy who is an arm-chair general, is dismissive of my favorite army, rants across the internet about what a piece of crap I am, how crappy my list is, how crappy orks are, how every event I've ever played in is uncompetitive (like the SoCal Slaughter in Space GT) but is unwilling to back up his tremendous bile with action. Dude has a rabid following of people who hang on his every word as if he were the holy guru of 40k, and my open challenge to he and his followers of "Anytime, anywhere" has been answered repeatedly by his fanbois, who have been unilaterally decimated, humiliated, and beaten down by me, usually in front of a crowd. He was planning on attending the Nova Open GT in August; the TO was going to have a "celebrity deathmatch" on Friday night to pair Stelek up against me for everyone to see....and apparently Stelek isn't going anymore. I crave a game against him in the worst way because I want my orks to atrociously humiliate whatever army he brings to the table. I'd be happy for a series of games, so that I can do it repeatedly. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but when you dispense bad advice to an audience, you're the worst kind. And now, there's a huge discussion going on because he apparently has been lying about his tournament record, and is getting dimed out. lollerskates.

2. Black Blow Fly. He's embarked on a crusade across the internet to smear my name, accuse me of cheating, sending my wife insulting messages on Dakka and elsewhere, and in general be the worst kind of person. His local gamers have messaged me on Dakka to avoid him, his club has advised me to ignore him and he'll go away....I'm the kind of guy who feels an inherent need to stand up to evil and misdeeds. I wouldn't walk by a mugging. This past weekend driving down I95 (interstate) a car caught on fire about 7 cars in front of us; traffic stopped, old folks inside trying to get their stuff out, everyone is getting out of their cars to gawk, traffic is backing up - I have to get out and help. I'm the guy who takes the cigarette away from the guy who lights up in a no-smoking restaurant. His actions, name-calling, insults, and stalking are venomous and filled with malice; my true wishes would cause legal problems, and while his taunting that I should come down to south Florida to play a game with him is tempting...it simply isn't worth the effort. He refuses to use Vassal, I can't ignore malice and misdeeds, and this is another person that I would like nothing more than to brutally humiliate on the table. After most of my games, I have a tactical conversation with my opponent; I tell them why I think they lost, how they could have exploited various mistakes I made, what I think they should do differently next time.......my after-game conversation with BBF would be along the lines of "Good triumphs over evil in the end" along with unsavory things that would cross the line to type here.

3. Finally, there's a "type" of player I desire to play. When I spend 15 minutes or more writing out a thoughtful tactical analysis of someone's army list, or their tactics....trying to help them improve their game, become a better player, have a sounder list.....and they post a response that is dismissive of my advice like this one or this one defending Flashgits over Lootas my hackles go up and I issue a challenge - if someone's list is so awesome that they will dismiss critiques levied at it, then they shouldn't have posted it for critique in the first place. And if someone won't listen to good advice, the only alternative I can really think of is to curb-stomp them into the ground mercilessly in an effort to punch through the haze clouding their judgment that makes them think that the craptastic list they are running is the best thing since wonderbread.

Phew. Writing all that was actually cathartic.

Also, I'm Dashofpepper on Skype and Vassal. I'm always open to play against anyone!

Anyone. Just remember, winner buys the first round.

don_mondo wrote:Anyone. Just remember, winner buys the first round.

See, I don't get that.

The first round of drinks should start with the first round of the game, and you don't know who the winner is going to be yet. I can see "Winner buys the 7th round of drinks" though and I'd totally be up for it.

warpcrafter wrote:I'm pretty sure there are no Dakkaites near me in KC. I'd play a game with nearly anybody once. Except Gwar! That would most assuredly end in violence.

KC as in Kansas City? I'm in St. Joseph... I can be at 31st Century Games in Olathe June 6th if you're interested in a quick game, PM me if so.

Other than that, I'd like to play: Sons of Orar, Little Boy Blues, and infilTRAITOR. Just look at those armies... That and they all seem like alrite guys in my book.

As has been said, there are a lot of Dakkites that I'd love to play with, but I reckon my main 3 would be:

- Alpharius - He seems like a genuine, smart and funny guy.
- Gwar! - For the humour and teaching that would occur, his sense of humour seems to appeal to me....
- Blackmoor - He also seems like a stand-up guy who I could learn a lot from.

I wouldn't want to play with Yakface, he just seems too wise for me and it'd be like playing against (the Dakka version of) god!
And although I love Frazzled's comments, I don't think I could stand being savaged by the Weiner dog or Frazzled himself...

But yeah, there are so many sound people in Dakka, I'd happily play against most of them...

For me, I look at this question thread not so much the actual playing of a game with "winners" and "losers", so much as the idea of hanging out with and shooting the breeze IRL with some people I only know via Dakka.

BTW: The "Stelek" and "blackblowguy" you mention both sound like a couple of dooshes, so I'd recommend to simply ignore them if I were you - life's too short.

I'd want to play Gwar! just to see if he'll come dressed up as members OF Gwar.

Fear the weiner.


Me. anyone who wants to play but doesn't take toy soldiers seriously. Also

Mean Green Stompa, Mad Dog Grotsnik, JHwang, Ragnar (Mannahin), and Waughy in a tag team match, predominantly just to see who could understand each other-talk about a battle of the accents. English/Scot/Cali/newJersey/Australia/Texan yee ha.

otherwise lets just meet up in the backyard. I'll throw the fajitas on.

if 40K I think I'd have lost by turn two with Gwar.

Ha Ha, Gundog!

I'm so unpopular D:

For me? Stelek, since he is a huge prick, and I just want him to deploy his guys, and then flip the table over.

Frazzled, since he's a pretty funny guy.

And Boss_Salvage ^>^

I thought about coming up with a list, but then I realized I was already the most awesometacular guy on this website anyway and I get my weekly dose of gaming with Thor every Thursday (Thor's day for you non-Norse heathens) anyway.

So, yes, in conclusion; I rule. It's science, you can't argue with it.

(I'd probably be game for playing anyone on my friend's list. Methinks I put them there for some reason or other.)

3 that I've always wanted a game/sit at the bar with....

1.HBMC (my favorite Sh!t talker here)
2.Frazzled (he owes me a drink for all the "undeserved" mod warnings)
3.Yakface (so I can go around saying "I kicked 'Dakka's' a$$!")



BTW I would play Stormboy97's hottest armies again, but I've already proven how easy it was to beat them, so no need!

Thanks for the shout out Hod!

My top 3 goes something like Dash Stelek Stormboy97 (marc parker)

And 40kenthusiast hod blackmoor bbf and hulksmash are close for seconds

I need to get in a game against Marc sometime. I want to nom nom nom on those Tyranids of his.
