Yeah ouch. That happened to a FNG here a while back.... he was from wisconsin I believe. Stopped into the store to see if there was the possibility of a game, didn't want to unload if not. Got into a discussion while waiting (as many of us do). Got taken up on his offer, went to get his army...... came back with a puddle. It wasn't even July yet, April or May I believe.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Yeah, I knew a guy who had a huge IG Army... way back in the day with the giant headed-super long barreled lasgun plastic guardsmen... they and all his tanks didn't melt all the way but they all warped - badly.

here's a funny one:
a bunch of IG are in a bunker. The comissar forces them out and says: you can come back when you killed 50 small tyranids, or one big one.
Sarge: hey guys, lets start with that big one. It only has one eye!

Just as you and your friend are stepping out the backdoor for a mid-game cigarette you hear your significant other yell from the front door, "Honey! I'm back from the groomers with the dogs!" *CRASH*
