Looks like someone else only read the opening post.

No arguing. Break any of these and I just asked them to leave either for the day or forever. It was a really really chillaxed enviroment.

I like the approach of the manager of a not so local FLGS... he also has these rules, but he enforces them with a nerf gun. One of those belt fed automatic ones.

Warns you once... shoot you a few times. 99% of the times, that works. I have never seen him kick someone out.


A GW store let someone bring Flames of War in??? WOW, I think at the next adepticon I will bring my Americans and Germans up to the bunker and try and get a game in with one of my friends... maybe even try and demo it

I personally wonder who the original poster is just so I can save myself the displeasure of playing against him when even I get my quarterly game in. I get so few games played that I dont need a bad one.

Nah, it's just that it's the only post in the entire thread that's interesting and amusing to reply to.

If your opponent busts out a Christmas themed Space Marine army with a captian modeled to look like Jesus, just fake irritable bowel syndrome, remember that your roof needs reshingling, tell him that you forgot to shave the pet hamster, or maybe yell "Is that a topless Sister of Battle!?" while pointing at the front door then run out the back door.
Anything that will get you out of playing that army will save you from dealing with the OP.

What? So you read the thread, saw that OP was completely full of it and had disappeared from the thread when he was called on his rubbish, and yet you still decided that his largely fictional post needed a detailed response about he should do if he hadn't actually been making things up.

Or, possibly... you didn't read the thread.

I hate to admit it, but Cheese Elemental is right.

Mad Rabbit wrote:Sounds like the situation is more complex than the OP lead us to believe.

Well, no offense to anyone in the thread at all, but does this really suprise you? I am not one to defend GW or their store managers (had my own run ins, srykthxgby), but the OP did have a bit of a "random" flair to it, dont you think?

Well, welcome to Dakka. And you're right, I'm not helping.

Tyras wrote:The anonimity of the internet emboldens some people to post like the OP.

THat's one thing that kinda amazes me from time to time in this bold new world of the Interdweebs. For some place that, superficially, promises such anonymity; people can get REALLY dialed in, cant they? Just like the OP did here. Seems like the concepts of anonymity and omniscience are really duking it out instead of anon being the hands down winner.

Yep.
I can see it now.

Q: Was American President Barak Obama born a foreign national, actually ineligible to hold that office?
A: No. While an internet rumor has been circulating since shortly after he announced his run for the Presidency, he is, in fact, an American born citizen of the USA.


LOL

E

If you're going to write "Barak Obama", please use his full name:

"Barak Hussein Obama"
____

No, he's not Saddam (though he is worse for America)...

And no, he's not the anti-Christ (though he is pro-Abortion)...

I had a feelin the kid would bite on that one.

To to close the thread.
