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

Sounds like it could work, let's give it a go. I take over and stop battle reports from being in any White Dwarf.

^ is this a negative or a positive ? ^



I take over and people can buy an advertisement free i-WD

I take over and hike the i-WD price to £15 per issue.

I take over and add some quality stuff to WD rather than the current babbling.

I take over and scrap WD.

I take over and set up a public release schedule 3 months in advance, with things subject to change. Major releases like edition changes, games are 2 months out.

I take over and were going to improve the units in every codex by doubling their minimum size. Per FaQ.

I take over and increase the cost of models.

I take over and stop IG from being so overpowered.

I take over and make the codices cost 60 dollars, cause hey, everyone has to buy a codex!

I take over and re-release all of the outdated plastic kits.

I take over and restart the GW Forums, with Red shirts having to be forum moderators in addition to their regular retail jobs.

I take over and we scrap GamesDays.
But we will show up on every fan event.

If more than 2 gamers are in a room.... Jervis will come too.
( he likes this moderated games idea, really! )

I take over and start selling OOP models again. Want a 3rd edition Zoanthrope? You can have it!

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.

WHY DO YOU HATE US D:

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.

I take over and rename the company as
"works Gameshop"

I take over the company and scrap all existing systems to start work on Call of Duty: The Board Game, with pre-painted miniatures and ZOMG REAL LAUNCHING MISSILES!!!11!!!ONE!!

I take over the company and in a special promotion for Call of Duty: The Board Game I make a Finecast Captain Price for $60 (because people will still buy it)

I take over and we reboot the main lines, 40k becomes 30k and fantasy gets some fish-people..and bug people...

I take over and make all the games tank-dominated so that you only ever stand a chance of winning if you're a mechanised IG player, and make tanks super-expensive.

I take over and add more Dakka.

I take over and nerf CC so badly that you can't win without more dakka.

I take over and replace the 'extra' space marines with something halfway decent. (replace BA and give Kroot they're own codex for example)

I take over and add a space marine codex for every chapter and their successers.

I take over and fire Matt Ward.

I take over and rehire Ward putting him in charge of furthering the story line.
