Brad Vas, 6 for paint? Surely not.

EDIT: Infact, all those paint results look strange...

1|JP|18|89|15|37|141
2|Eric|31|72|15|40|127
3|Chris|19|72|15|37|124
4|Michael B|12|65|15|41|121
5|Andrew T|9|82|15|23|120


So the top 5 got out of 40 + something for painting? Yet the rest got 4-8?

yeah..... that is a tad bizzare

Appearance: 10 points

During lunch, everyone will form up their armies to be marked by everyone participating (including TO's) on their painting.

Some things to look out for:
- Whole army is fully painted
- Use of highlighting, shading etc
- Conversions, themed armies
- Basing




So, er... how do I get a paint score of 41? when its out of 10? 7 then you get +3 if your in the top 3?

It would appear that the players choice votes have been added to the TO's votes. Thats what it looks like to me anyways.

Most likely. But from what I can make out, it changes who got first place. If you give him a paint score of the max (10) he drops down... and Matt Y becomes 1st. 2nd/3rd/4th drop of the top 10.

you can't get 41/10, obviously I can ...........but you can't.

Well, I suppose your right. Maybe that's how people could get 32/30 at Eastcon...

Yeah. Paint scores are a bit off there.

Great tourney. Think I got the pick of the hardest lists as my opponents though;

Twin Lash, 4 x Oblits
Eldratar
Mephiston

That'll be the no comp then

I think we broke the paint scoring... It's mostly my fault. When I gave him the paint scores I gave him the total votes rather than just telling him who to give 3 extra points to, which in hindsight would have been much easier on the poor boy.

---

I think Matt did a great good job for his first time out, particuarly with adding 10 extra players at the last minute ... viv's PC not having a recent enough version of excel and him getting stuck with my laptop being shared between him and me, and the number of other things players never need to know but all TOs suffer through

---

We might just peer comp it next time... it sucks, but it'd be comp. Maybe weighted or averaged to flatten it out a bit.

Definitely spread the sports a bit more, countback on 8 players with passing down prizes and such is a bit silly.

---

As not the TO the 2 big things that made me happy were:

Having a bunch of people from outside the store come down and show the locals what pretty tournament armies and a good attitude to gaming are (and that you don't need cheese to win).

Finding out the venue can handle 30 people without turning into a noisy, stinking cesspit of gamer iniquity. With a bit of juggling and moving the tables a bit further apart I reckon we can do the 10 table doubles (40 players) that I've been dreaming of for a while.

---

Hopefully everyone will forgive the scoring snaffu, I feel pretty bad about it as it was mostly my fault. If no one tells Matt, I don't plan to

Are we going to readjust or scores stand as posted on the day?

I thought the agendas and simplicity of mission set up worked really well. Something I haven't seen before.

Good day, really enjoyed it. Think for the next one the tables should be turned so they're running the opposite direction. It was difficult to set-up armies prior to games because everyone was bumping into everyone etc.

Also some of the boards were a bit cluttered in terms of terrain, specially trees that kept falling over XD

I'll let Matt make the call on that as the TO before we submit them. I feel we should definitely do it for the rankings but ultimately it's his call.

Hoping you felt that way, best to keep the integrity of the results if submitting to the national rankings.

Well, That sucks I actually felt I did really well on the day but to Win (JP is me btw with the space wolves) when It seems I didn't gotta say that really takes away from the moment.

Kinda deflating after what turned out to be a really good weekend.


Overall though it was a great day and simplistic nature of the games made it more about the players than the mission i felt.

So good job all!

It's ok, we know you're better than Matt... Karmic victory !

Seems to happen to you alot JP

No one is better than me

Well, Ill live with I think 2nd if I read that right, but yeah ah well.

Well, Ill live with I think 2nd if I read that right, but yeah ah well.

Any of you guys going to be taking part in the NSGL?

Im hoping to but this wednesday I'm running a nap game with Viv as he via tenabrae expressed an interest in Napoleonic Gaming.

But Ill bring 750 points of marines.
