Independence Day Massacre

Jeremy,
I got your list, but do not show your payment. Did you send it by paypal? If so you might want to check on it, because I am not showing it on the 20th.

Jeremy,
I have your payment. Helps if you set the right parameters to you search.

Is there an updated list of players and their armies? Be interesting to see who and what is coming.

Its on the web page. I think that I have everyone but one on there.

I know you're probably still updating it, but i'm bringing CSM and I paid you last saturday when I was in the store.

Bought a figure and entrance fee.

Just wanted to make sure.

if i can scrape up enough pts in my space marines i would like to play(or if someone would lend me one of their armies)

I will GLADLY lend you my Tau!

Cool, I dont really know how to play 40k but everyone says this is the best way to learn how to play

Trying to look out for you here and this is just my opinion. Not sure that a 2000 tournament of this magnitude is the best forum for someone to learn how to play. For me, the best way to learn is a casual game where you can take your time and really slow the game down into it's components and talk about the game mechanics and what each unit can do. These games will have time limits. If you want to finish a game, you have to know the rules and your army. Otherwise you and your opponent may find it frustrating and not a good learning experience.

Not intending to rain on your parade. I just want to make sure you are aware of the expectations of tournament play.

I concur, however, we have 2 weeks till the IDM. Let's get you an army, get you signed up, and get you playing.

Take BigAl's nids. Especially all the big forgeworld pieces.

I dont necessarily agree. You should play, but realize that it will be a learning experience. If the matching system is swiss, by game three you are playing players of a similar skill level. If you are playing i would ask Brian to purposefully pair you against the ringer in round 1 if there is one.

However, you should not play if you have not first Completely read the rules a couple of times. You also need to get some games in this week and next. Dont come to a tournament if it will be the first time for you to ever play. In that case it would be better to come, find a table to sit at for a whole game and watch someone play. Im sure dannato would love to teach you as he played.

If you Come to warpig im also sure big d would teach you how to play

Those of you with shirts - let's do black for day one. Day 2 well do bowling shirts for those who have em and black for those who don't.

I'll be at breakfast

See you guys at Denny's

Guys,
The schedule has changed slightly, the start times will stay the same, but we are pushing things back a bit to accomodate 2:45 time limits. I want to make sure everyone has enough time to play. Will still be getting done roughly the same time on Saturday. Will try to get the new schedule up tomorrow.

Does anybody have a second army they can lend me, i read through the book and i think i should b able to play a game if i can look through the book, or ask someone, when i am confused

Also if i can borrow someones second army, i would like to do some games to kinda get a better feel for the game, and the army

I'll be at breakfast. We should come up with a Fayetteville food challenge for Big D that morning.

1 foot tall pancake stack.

I'm in for breakfast.

I am planning on coming to breakfast. Is that the denny's on the main street through fayetteville or is it somewhere else? I am not familiar with the street names in Fayetteville.

It's the formerly known as 6th Street Denny's. Which is now called Martin Luther King. The exit like you are going to Farmington. Denny's is right there close to exit, by the Clarion. Really hard to miss. Unless of course you take the wrong exit.

I should be able to join you guys if there is room.

The more the merrier.

I'll be at breakfast.

someone say food?

Do we happen to have an updated player/army list? I looked at the earlier link, but it seemed like it might be out of date. I wanted to know if there were any codices I needed to re-read besides Blood Angels and Grey Knights.

Eldar!
