However, I would highly suggest you talk with Mike Austin about the changes they made to the ETC system. They have some good changes that really toned down some of the nasty stuff that sliped through the cracks. As the system is written now I already know the list I would bring that would would really break this system. I'm not going to tell you what it is though because I want a free ticket to Vegas if you don't change it ;)Darwinn69https://www.blogger.com/profile/11157612794328418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-47328967661759937442010-04-08T07:27:59.539-07:002010-04-08T07:27:59.539-07:00Right, that's what I said.

It is a toned down a lot and yes there is a lot less you can do with each list. Now I have no problem playing compless games and do enjoy some of them. But there are a lot of imbalances in the army books that need to be addressed in a competetive atmosphere. That being said I think the ideal tournament would have two concurrent heats for those that want comp and those that don't. As we cannot support both we will be only be doing a comp tournament which I believe has a more competitive. But all in all hopefully I will never have to worry about comp again when 8th edition comes out.<br /><br /><br /><br />The final link in the post is a link to the ETC (european team championship) post on their 2010 comp rules that we will be using for this tournament.Rhethrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039733897491369235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-46250061101101545022010-04-07T16:15:49.911-07:002010-04-07T16:15:49.911-07:00I'm not gonna be playing in the Fantasy portio...I'm not gonna be playing in the Fantasy portion anyway, but I figure I'll throw out my 2 cents.<br /><br />I hate comp. It's the sort of black hatred you would reserve for the guy who killed your puppy. No matter how poorly balanced a game might be perceived to be, comp makes it worse. It'll either end up simply shifting the balance of power from one army to another, screwing over theme armies that weren't competitive anyway just because they ran afoul of the arbitrary restrictions, being so mind-numbingly restrictive that they suck any life out of the game (man, I love fighting your 20 Core with my 20 Core, bo-ring) or any combination of the three.<br /><br />Fantasy really isn't that bad. There are a couple armies that are pretty bad off (O&G and OK), but most of them can field a competitive army that can tango with the likes of Daemons and DE. Lists can be a big factor in Fantasy, but beyond a few particular cases, player skill > list.<br /><br />Like I said, I'll be doing 40k so it doesn't affect me, but I'd be loath to play in any Fantasy event that has to suffer a comp system. If you do end up using one, I hope you can put together a good one, as far as comp goes.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-89393992467924247342010-04-07T12:21:44.514-07:002010-04-07T12:21:44.514-07:00If he woulda fit with the title i would have.
