first off, wow the forums have died since football started....

anyway, Jophy is still working on the official writeup so I felt it necsessary to say a few words of the magnificence that went on on that glourios night. (mostly to remind you lot that real brikwars games are still happening somewhere, so don't lose hope or whatever!)


As is the organisational standard of our games, any semblance of order was gone before the game even started. Papers showing team's secret objectives were lost/looked at by the enemy. Nobody wanted to play the forces of evil, all prefering to just play their army. All our armies were so big that they didn't really fit on the map. Army sizes were completely unfair. One player didn't even realise his entire army had the ability to warp around anywhere on the field untill the last turn. Arguments were had about the sillyest things possible "your hero can't do that!" for instance. and of course, some people needed to leave before the game ended...WHY??????????

the field was basically set up as a kill zone, a forested middle area, surrounded by buildings with turrets on the rooftops.
I don't think I should give out many details as to the game itself, as it would detract from the outcome of the writeup, but it will be pretty awesome.

mostly it's the younger audience, I would asume. a few years ago it was mostly adult players, now it's about 50-50 with teens/kids. Thus the lower likeliness of games working out in an orderly fasion.

It is a pain to post pics. You have to load them to your computer, resize them, rename them if you're using Brickshelf, upload them one by one to brickshelf and then do the write up.
