Linky:
Community CompSo, i don't know how many may be aware, but for the past 12-18 months, some South Australians (and now a fair few others) have been working and editing together a document called "community comp" its basically a point system for comping lists to make tourney play "fairer" for the average gamer.
Some of it is good, some of it is bad, generally I don't go to a lot of tourneys, but the few I have gone to had fairly friendly players and a fairly relaxed and fun atmosphere.
I enjoyed seeing stronger lists, and even if I got stomped, would take small victories where i could get them (my master of the forge killing 5 tanks in 5 turns of shooting with his beamer, my speeder storm coming on and clearing an objective so the scouts could hold it, then it somehow luckily surviving a full round of everything shooting it... before exploding to meltabombs in combat and taking 3 guys with it... ) I know its not fun to get stomped all weekend, but the couple of times i saw someone bring a full meta list, the community at the tourney went hard at them for it, they would either tone down their playing, or (once) resubmit on the spot a slightly more fun list (maybe that's just an Aussie thing? We will give people a good stitching up if they are being an ass)
Id also point out, that in the Aussie meta, it was the south Australians who had the biggest issues with power gamers, hence why they started pushing comp systems hard to the rest of us.
But have a read, what are your thoughts? Do you like the system? Dislike? cannot understand what the beslubber C1 and C2 mean? (I feel ya there) Just thought id throw this up as i have not seen a discussion on it anywhere here yet.
Cheers!
