1. but MGS, ALL FAQ ARE RUBBISH!

2. I can't think of a SINGLE gw FAQ that doesnt completely suck. they all fail to answer any relevant questions, while "clarifying" things that are obvious to a slowed 5 year old.

3. the fact is, gwar is almost always right.... people who argue against this can go off and play in their little fantasy world, where the actual rules don't matter, just like GW wants... but without people who are trying to create standards for others to play the game by, 40k will become a set of annoying house rules across the country.

1. Really, that's strange, I certainly liked the ork one, written by the owner of this forum and the Adepticon council for use in tournament play and adopted across the world and, feth me, the GW games design studio adopted it as well.

2. Like the LR battle tank for WH or DH armies? Because that was a contentious issue and was entirely resolved to most people's satisfaction following the Guard FAQ.

3. 'People who argue against this can go off and play in their little fantasy world'... erm... that's what this entire forum is about yeh? THE FAQS ARE EMPLOYED IN TOURNAMENT PLAY ACROSS THE FETHING WORLD, HARDLY 'RULES DON'T MATTER' THERE IS IT?

Welcome to the wide world of toy soldiers mate.

I thought the Vassal 40k module (not the VASSAL engine) was declared a breach of Copyright and IP law?

So wait, you like the FAQ that was not written by GW? Hmm, that sure doesn't say much does it.

I thought you could still play (40k) Vassal, but they can't come out with a new edition.

I'm not sure though, maybe the whole thing was shut down.

But you still can use it, just the people aren't developing it any more.

Alot of ego going on in this thread.

Lets all just calm down.

From the lad touting his own FAQ after taking the stand to cry out that FAQs aren't worth gak, you do know if your dream comes true and GW take your FAQ on and endorse it, they'd still put their lil caveat on the front page...

Any way, it's been a blast but I'm off to bed, some of us have work in the morning.

You have to go to bed? It's only 6:00.

MGS...

1) you named 1 example ... there are several more FAQ's on their site that are garbage. The fact remains that having 1 out of like 10 good documents is not a great track record. Besides, I didn't name an exhaustive list of all crappy FAQ's, I just made a general statement that most suck. You cannot refute that.

2) Because they resolved 1 issue, a good FAQ it does not make. there were several more issues there that needed to be resolved, like the question if the PBS weaken resolve ignores stubborn (INAT says it does, and thats what I follow myself)

3) yes, I know its a fantasy world, but it still needs a standardized set of rules. I'm a college junior, and its quite annoying when people come to my school as freshmen, join the club, and I have to teach them how to play because they play with their own wierd set of house rules back in podunk kansas. Standardized rules shouldn't really be something i'm wanting for, after dropping a few thousand dollars into this hobby, but alas, it is. This is where INAT comes in... if everyone just starts using that, we will be much better off. I know those involved in the formation of that document frequent this forum, and will probably take GWAR's SW FAQ into consideration when creating an INAT FAQ for SW, for which I am grateful.

Night MGS.

Yeah, but the sun still sets at the same time. It's not like the UKs have a different sun.

Actually, if you look at my signature, you'll see that Gwar is actually a fanboy of me

You have made several personal attacks, including calling other posters "fanboy" which is in an entirely objective manner breaking forum rules.

Damn right I am. While you may not have my flair, you are almost as consistent as me with your correctness

Oh what will the followers do when gwar gets a job?

Lo, and so it was spake, the lord gwar hath departed to the land of jobs.

and a great wailing went up from the people, who mourned his loss, as it darkened their hearts, and doomed the forumdom to 100 years of darkness.

it has been foretold, however, that one day lord gwar would return to us, and once more bring the light to the wretched world of dakka dakka.

Gwar is arrogant and rude sometimes, but he knows the rules very well and I'm glad he's here to help with rules issues.

Many times someone will come to the forum with a question that definitely has a black&white "correct" answer via the rules. If a member posts that answer, does it do any favor to the original poster or to the community as a whole if that answer is continued to be debated?

you ever see the episode of the simpsons where boys and girls are put into seperate math classes?

The girls are learning math... saying how to men, they are problems, to be solved... and the girls are all like "what does a plus sign... taste like?"

I swear thats how some people interpret the rules. Ignore all logic and reason, and just make up their own BS.

So you just hate everyone who's different from you?

I bet you would love it if the Nazis came in and stopped people from "thinking wrong", like thinking that Hitler isn't who everyone should obey.

You Nazi.

@Orkeo: You sure you meant to reply that to Horst?!?

I have to troll Gwar's thread into oblivion.

You can't fight destiny.

he probably did. snarky little bastard, he is. YOU'LL GET YOURS!
