Even better. You good sir can have one on me in February!

Hate to be a party pooper guys, but I have to do my due diligence. Outside food and beverage are not allowed in the hall per Vegas' rules.

If you are discreet and no one sees it, well then, not much can be said. But if any of the security or staff see you with outside food or beverage we will have to make you go outside to finish it or throw it out.

So, consider yourself informed! Sorry for that, but it is out of our hands.

Just make sure your troop bag has foam at the bottom for what I like to refer to as "The Refreshment Detachment"

Thankfully it doesn't count towards your formation/detachment limits (special rules) and you can with a good size bag easily fit in a full unit of Mephiston's Brew, a unit of Mork and Gork Nachos, and probably sneak in a unit of Dante's Fries. Avoid such rookie mistakes as ever deploying these units onto the table (they are best left in reserves where the wandering eye of chaos won't find them) or removing them from play into the garbage bins within the hall - always leave no unit behind and dispose of them after proper sacred rites to garbage bins elsewhere.

Play it smart, and don't ruin a good time for everyone

PS: If you're sneaking in the stronger brews, just make sure you buy one now and then from the bar and tip the guy for the ones you're not buying. They're decent folks that are relying on your tips for the job to make any sense there as-is.

Will Sodas/Energy Drinks be sold in the hall? Cause if im playing a game, I cant go more than one without a monster.
And thats kinda a bummer. I remember the first one where I had pizza delivered to the hall.

What you need to do is hook up your Monster Energy Drink to an Intravenous and wheel that thing around... Nobody will question you when you say its for medical purposes.

I just am sad Im not gonna get to use my beer helmet :( I was gonna bring in a bunch of monster/rockstars and put them in the hat while I play

What if they charge us a corkage fee? Can we bring our own stuff in then?

You're asking the establishment to micro-manage a venue of over 1000 people and to keep independent tabs on them?

Probably not going to happen.

If you want to bring it, just be discreet about it.

I know most hotel is pretty clear on what is outside food but well this is vegas. what is consider outside food? is the Bally's food court or any part of the hotel (including the newly build outside vendors, there is a starbuck and sugar) consider outside food? Also will the caesar group like paris, caesar, ling etc consider outside food? Or should We all just keep ourselves informed but not that well?

What this means is that there will be a Bally employee stationed just outside the main ballroom. Go in with food in hand - even if said food is bought from Bally - and he will say finish the food before going inside. Go in with food inside your bag(s) and then you're good. Out of sight, out of mind.

BTW, they should be selling alcohol/drinks inside the ballroom.

What about snacks inside the ballroom? I mean even if I could get an apple or small bag of chips.. Or a friggin candy bar

Food is considered food, lol. If you put it in your mouth and eat it, that is food

There will be food and beverages available in the hall for purchase.

Energy drinks?

If you want to drink, then you should use this:

I used to wear long sleeves soaked over night in vodkas. Then you can suck on the sleeves while gaming the next day.

What's the refund policy like in case you can't make it. Or in case you systematically Nerf the army I was planning on bringing against raw for "balance purposes" while leaving even worse things untouched and I no longer am interested in supporting a non-impartial system. Because I would hate to be locked into a payment for something I might not be able to attend.

Won't be attending this year - The recent poll just makes this tournament a waste of my time. Don't understand how you guys feel it's OK to change the rules as written in the new codices without even letting it be played in a number of GTs so we can assess how it plays out properly. When you took Invisibility down we had at least been able to properly play it out, see if it was indeed an engine towards winning GTs, and then make a decision. Instead here you just decided to remove/heavily edit a core function of the new 'decurion' style detachment for a codex that was rarely in contention for the win anyway - all based on people hyperventilating on the internet.

Knee jerk scummy reaction by the ITC.

Funny, considering that it was voted on 3 weeks after the codex came out

And in those three weeks have you seen it used in any GTs? Do we have any data that shows it has or would have significantly changed the meta? Has Tau actually won any thing since then in the tournament scene because of the rule change?

ITC should have been willing to wait and see how these new rules impacted the scene before deciding to put it to a vote. Instead now we never even get to see how this would have played out and Tau simply continue to stagnate away from the top tables in the ITC.

Except, unlike invisibility, the hunter contingent is ambiqous.

its not. You would LIKE it to look that way, but its not. Firing like they are one unit. That is the only thing that matters. If they were all in one huge unit and fired, they would share special rules, they dident even need to add the markerlight sharing because that would be a given. They did as an example in case people couldnt understand basic rules, the kind of people they wrote Age of Sigmar for in all its 4 pages of rules glory. What happened is what happens whenever you have a mob vote. Everyone votes in favor of what is in their best interest. And since marine players alone probably outnumber all the other races put together, you will see changes like this, while nothing is done about the "not fun to play against" level of gladius strike force. Or skyhammer for that matter.

People dont vote in their best interest. I dont play orks at all, I voted for the stompa, I dont play eldar, I voted to keep the raw. I vote in the interest of fairness

I'm very pleased with the itc voting and can't wait to attend! Anyone complaining is just bitter and we don't need them bringing down our fun anyway

Some players want to keep the game as close to RAW as possible and not vote to change the rules unless they are proven to be detrimental to the game. Do you call that bitter?

Yes, I do. Things happen, changes are made, adapt and overcome. Have fun. Don't pout and stomp your foot, declaring you will not attend such ludicrous changes and demand a recount. It's childish

Refund. I believe a refund, not recount was demanded.

Glad I had to bow out already due to family stuff and unloaded the ticket. The nonsensical nerf to tank shock is a huge hit to the army I was prepping to take. I have to admit I am starting to feel the ITC polls are causing more harm than good at this point.

I feel like pain4pleasure is mis-reading what Blackmoor is saying. Just feel like personal views are mix into what blackmoor is saying.
