Very well then, I take back what I said when it comes to you Riquende. That´s all I wanted to hear from you. I don´t have time to search for his post right now ( see below ) but use the search function, put MWHistorians username in as a requirement and search for the words "you´re mistaken" or "you are mistaken" - it should show up as the first result.
In any case, keep believing guys. I´m sure you´re correct regarding GW going down and a single sales report + a chairmans preamble being ultimate evidence of a large companys doom, with said company having a history of over 20 years and being the most successfull in their field. I´ll visit the discussion thread after the report to see what possible excuses you have come up with to try and sweep being incorrect under the rug to safe face. I´m guessing "this means nothing" ( which is what I am now saying, but you refuse to accept ) is one, someone will probably blame it on christmas and people buying presents.
Also, try to work on your skills regarding holding coherent protocol, demanding proof of others and "protecting one of your own" by just blatantly stating he doesn´t need to provide any proof for his equally big claims just sweeps any credibility whatsoever from under your feet.
I am now in a hurry to enjoy an enjoyable game or two of Warhammer 40,000, the most widespread miniaturegame on the planet, produced by the most successfful wargaming company in existence, so we´ll continue this discussion wherein you just come up with non-equal rules to others later. Ciao.

"Concessed" to none of the things you say, as I am still infact right about the matter. You talk about logic yet you conclude things out of thin air. I take back taking back you making me laugh, as you completely lack any logic yourself.
Fun as it is to watch those with the gleaming armour twist themselves into knots with their childish lies, I do feel the forum is immeasurably improved by not having to wade through their drivel. RunicFIN, I dub you a vacuous liar, more concerned with stirring up trouble than discussing the hobby, and more concerned with insulting people than trying to understand them. You are ignored.
I'd urge others to do so as well (if only so that his quoted posts don't keep appearing in otherwise interesting topics). Irrelevant trolls disappear quickly when there's nobody responding to them. It's sad, but it is only done for attention and validation.
Haven´t lied, nor am I in a knot ( infact you are, with you lot acting as paradoxical as possible with not requiring proof from MWHistorian but requiring from anyone else, at any given time. ) So yeah, you just made yourself look even more unlogical and paradoxical. Next to this, regarding the topic of GW going down/whatever the tinfoils have made up for today - I am correct, you are not. Have fun accepting that.

Like I stated to Musashi, I will send it to you the very day the report hits. For reasons other than pettiness I cannot do it now.

Fastest game of 40Kever. Or you just making that up too?
Why "too?" And now consider the possible devices that might allow for internet usage while not at home. Watching a game of maelstrom anyways, a game mode personally don´t play.
Anything else you wanna raise an argument about? Put them all out on the table at once, saves us all some time mate.

He can't show something to back up his claims because he doesn't have anything. If he did, he would have shown it or PM'd Musashi like he said he would. (As of 3mins ago, he hasn't. I just texted Musashi.)

Do not Reply.
Use Ignore button.
Let him die.
He is counting on you wanting to "win" the discussion to manipulate you into getting the thread closed, just ignore him.
Quoting for truth. The pattern of "bait until the thread gets locked" is completely clear by now, it's up to you all to stop falling for it.
"The 75mm gun is firing. The 37mm gun is firing, but is traversed round the wrong way. The Browning is jammed. I am saying "Driver, advance." and the driver, who can't hear me, is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich."

And I said to Musashi that I will PM him the day the report is out. But I´m not surprised this also was deliberately/accidentally ignored.
Which brings me back to a question I asked earlier; do you currently have information about GW's sales numbers, or are your claims nothing but speculation?
