So, as a wargamer and member of this forum, you'll no doubt have a few qualms about the way GW operates and probably think you can do a better job in some areas. So, inspired by this, I present to you the Fortunately/Unfortunately: The GW CEO Edition! This games works as follows, one poster "takes over" as CEO of GW and makes a good change to the company. Then, the next poster will take over but this time, make a bad change. I'm sure you're all familiar with this type of game. Basically, if you're a "bad" CEO, you're trying to mess up the decision of the poster before you and, if you're a "good" CEO, you're trying to rectify it. Now for da rulez: 1) You can only make one change 2) It can't be something ridiculous like "give everyone tons of free models" - you have to imagine you're the CEO, so you still want the company to actual work 3) Make sure your post is in response to the above posters. 4) Obey dakka rules and all that jazz. So, a good string of posts would be as follows: Person A: I take over and reduce all box set prices by 10% Person B: I take over and reduce the amount of spare bits in box sets Person C: I take over and start to sell spare bits for very cheap prices ---------------- Ok, so I'll start for real now. I take over and make it so every issue of White Dwarf comes with a free gift

I take over and re-release the rulebook every 3 months, making them £100 each time and forcing you to play the most recent rules if you're playing in a local GW. Also, the rules are drastically different each time, which make the game better but far harder to learn to play well.

I take over and we release a codex with the finest sisters in plastic and the fans are distracted enough to forget all these unneccessary editions existed. We'll get rid of numbers too, no more 1-2-3-4-5-6... ed, just "the Emporer strikes back", extra cinematic 4d edition. Did I mention we alter the style to comicbook?

I take over and scrap epic scale, then change the main rules of 40k so that you need as many models as you did in epic even though the playing field it too small to handle so many miniatures and they all get piled up onto each other. Making the game unplayable.
I then bring back epic scale but the miniatures cost just as much as the 40k miniatures used to.
