BrikWars Swedish National Championship

How about having the players vote on their most awesome opponent after all games are finished?

[Natalya]

The only impartial way to do this would be to have judges who are not playing. Or just say everyone is a because they showed up.

[fredde]

Interesting! very interesting!
not sure if I can make it but we`ll see

[Killer Karetsu]

It's hard to judge Awesome in an objective way, since everyone has their own idea of it. If people get to vote they can promote their own particular style. Besides, it would be impractical to get enough judges to watch all the battles.

Yep, no age limits.

[stubby]

Right. So, don't tell anyone that the bennies are used to determine winners, and let all spectators be judges. People whose games attract more spectators will have more judges, and more potential excitement for handing out bennies. The only trick will be having somebody record who's getting how many bennies, without letting anyone figure out that someone is recording who's getting how many bennies.

[IVhorseman]

Can you get a little button-pusher or something that just records how many times you secretly pressed the button?

[Ross_Varn]

That would be brilliant-

-also you should livestream this

Have bennies have to be requested from a judge (who would be walking from game to game) by just yelling "WE NEED A BENNIE OVER HERE" or similar, the Judge can keep count of how many bennies have been awarded to each player and it gives a special quality to them. Of course the judge would have a Hammer Of Discipline in case a anorak decides that winning is better than fun.

The alternative is to have it "not a tournament" and then at the end have rewards for various things like "Best army", "Best Feat", "Most Carnage", "Best critical fail"... and then special ones like: "most convincing lie about the rules concerning Fire-Rings" or "Deus ex machina" ...

This is now on Facebook.

Cool, its written in some sort of code that could never be broken!

You can scroll down to read the English version though.

The only thing we have in the USA are bald eagles, a dysfunctional government, and a right to vote for that dysfunctional government.

*Sigh*

Edit: Oh, and legos that cost 50% less than the rest of the world. Can't forget that.

Not necessarily true. I got a great deal off of a polish bricklink store for my crimson dawn guys, who were much cheaper there than they would have been at any US store. The torsos were $0.60 each, with 60 odd torsos, while most places had them at over $1.30 each and only had around 1-5 torsos. I ended up getting the torsos, heads, helmets and weapons for 20 guys for about $40, although I had to find legs somewhere else.

Also, despite our problems, the USA is still pretty awesome. Compared to many other countries, our problems are pretty small. A massive obesity epidemic for example is far easier to deal with than mass starvation. Our dysfunctional government still functions better than many others, such as Greece, Russia, China, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea or Somalia, to name a few.

And Great Britain is in a far greater shithole than we are. And we don't have the whole Euro crisis. We're pretty well-to-do.

Also, I now envy you Swedes even more.

[Silverdream]

Shut your whore mouth, Great Britain is the greatest country ever. At it's height, the USA had hedgemony over half of the world(Ender's Game). The Holy Britannian Empire at it's height controlled two-thirds of the entire earth(Code Geass).

[Zahru II]

Can we stop turning this thread into a which country is the best dick-waving contest? I thought we had plenty of those already.
