Ben's League For 40k and Fantasy… Gird your loins
I asked and you have answered with your silence, now this is what you will reap. This league has one rule, my word. Mwahahaha. Each will, I will choose which of my "rules" to enforce. These rules will change your game, give you new challenges to arise above, and hopefully make you laugh a bit.
The games will be designed for 2000-2500 points. Players may play with fewer points, but it should be discussed before the game. The games will score the first two in each 2 week session. You may still play after that, but you don't need to fill out a slip, only players who are counting their game do.
There will be a fee of $5.01 (the pennies are for my college fund). But, with that said, there will be PRIZES!!!! Hurrah Prizes.
Each week along with the email my rules will go out.
Some of my rule changes:
- Players are encouraged to be good sportsmen (and sportswomen). I will be giving out special -1 to rolls cards for players who have good sportsmanship (other employees can give them out as well). These are used before a player rolls to lower the cost of the needed roll by 1, to a minimum of 2+ (The card is used for the entire roll be it attacks for entire squad or invulnerable save for one guy).
- For every loss a player has that player will get a card to ignore one of my rules for a game. Not all rules are ignorable, and the ones that are will have ignorable written with them.
- Models that are not painted get a -1 to cover saves as they stand out pretty bad. (at least 2 colors) ignorable
- Models that are not painted in a squad that is painted may be targeted out separately. ignorable
- If you flee off the table, you end up on the table behind you. You get to fire or assault once between those players turns before automatically dying. Any kill points you score on the new table count for your game.
- You must be wearing pants or shorts. Swimtrunks are acceptable if I can't tell their not shorts. Dresses are awkward, but I can get down with it. ABSOLUTELY NO CLOWN SUITS.
I will also be taking feedback on what kinds of rules you like and don't like, so feel free to email me with ideas and whatnot. Not only do I encourage this, but I might give out something special for those who give me good ideas.
General Rules:
The League Costs $5.oo
League Days will be Monday and Tuesday. You are welcome to schedule games other days then that, but those are the two official days. If you are scheduling a game, just let us know so we can make sure we will have space available.
Armies will be 2500 points unless otherwise specified for the week. If players agree to it beforehand, they may play any number of points they wish but the 2500 is our standard.
The goal of the league is to have fun. Don't be a jerk. Sportsmanship will be rewarded as highly as good performance in the league. If someone sportsmanship is bad, they will get a warning. If it continues, they will get points docked from their score. If it still continues they will be kicked out of the league. I don't take no crap in my leagues!
Each 2 week period, 2 games will be scored per person. These will be the first two games each two week period. You may still help other get game in, just don't use a score sheet, as I will get confused.
"Ben's rules" will go out in the weekly email. These are intended to make your games fun. I strongly encourage players to play according to the rules, but if they are truly hindering you from having a good time talk to your opponent before the game. If he/she agrees, then you can play a standard game (or make up your own crazy rules and let me know if it was fun!)
Makeup games are allowed, but if you have one you must mark it on the slip. Scoring will go out on a 2 week period.
Players should try to make their armies look presentable. No sagging jeans or torn t-shirts. But for real, make sure it's ok with an opponent before using proxies. Proxies tend to confuse, and this can be used to gain an unfair advantage (not even intentionally). Also, priming is easy, so don't be lazy :-P
League will go from 8/1/2011 thru 10/3/2011
If players want to enter the painting contest just buy a model at the start of the league. Every 3 weeks bring in your model/squad to have its picture taken for our website! and then at the end of the league we will vote on the best! (squads must be at least 5 of any model)
Categories: Best single model, best squad, best tank. And most blood.
