Philosophy according to the sheep -

Saying something once, means you've said it. Saying something twice is repeating yourself. Saying it more than that becomes white noise.

That's some Sheep Wisdom right there!

Not everyone remodels/repaints their models. In fact i only know 3 people in my area that does, and its more of marking their ships than anything else.

I do enough remodeling/painting for 40k. Part of the allure of this game is i dont HAVE to do anything other than open the box. These ships arent worth their price to me on the print alone, but the already done nicely paintjob counters that problem.

You're right. If I just kept quiet and let bitterness run rampant without trying to do SOMETHING to counter the incessant whining, things would be so much better.

As stated before, as soon as the forums on CaptainLackwit.com are up, you get to be a cop. And despite your noble protestations, starting this thread did nothing but stroke your own ego. No one is going to come away from this thinking "Wow, Captain Lackwit REALLY showed me the error of my ways!"

If you want to help out, continue to make positive posts about the stuff you love and don't respond to the "incessant whining" and rampant bitterness. It just ratchets things up and doesn't help, so let those threads die out and contribute to the positive discussions that are critically and constructive additions to the narratives of subjects related to the game.

Don't be self-important or self-indulgent or delusional enough to think anything you do here will really impact the thought process of anyone else on these forums and please don't try and sell us on the idea you're the Dayman. You're neither a master of karate, nor friendship for everyone.

That all said - as I do love a lively thread, a genuine thank you for starting another one where we can all jump in and kick you in the nuts, much appreciated

That's pretty much it

If your happy with something, ignore the I don't like this posts.

Just as those who are happy with something post about how excited they are for something

People also need to post their discomfort.

It gives both a place to share their excitement and disappointments

I'm in the second camp. I'm not pleased with it, but meh, it's only plastic spaceships, and if anything I just won't buy it

I may buy two Imperial veterans, and none of the hero's of the Resistance

If you're not happy with something, ignore the I like this posts.

If you're not happy with something, ignore the I like this posts.

Works both ways

As the saying goes

Opinion are like a holes

Everyones got one and they all stink

Absolutely true.

You superimpose a lot of things on my actions. I'll be completely honest, I do not understand your thought process if those are the conclusions you reach.

I superimpose nothing, simply reflect what I see. And I get that you are unable to see why I reach those conclusions, hence threads like this.

Edited to add: I really have nothing against you (I "like" many of your posts) and am not trying to contribute to any level of antipathy or anti-social behavior on these forums (I like it here because, for the most part, we're talking about miniatures models - Star Wars miniature models!), but if you're going to contribute to the very same with threads like this that are designed to incite comment and draw negativity, the door is open - particularly when you make statements like the one I quoted earlier.

This thread wins.

See, it's this part right here. This one, that really gets me. You claim little aggression or ill will, then pull this. Even crazier of a statement considering half of the participants agree with the OP itself.

What I really don't get, is why you insist on making these things about me rather than my content. I mean, if I went after someone's character so directly, I'd be banned for it- hell, I have been. So I can't help but wonder what exactly your game here is.

Do you just like derailing threads?

So, how has your Monday morning been so far? Well to be honest, pretty pants. Slept in so that meant I missed my early morning run. I got to the train station to find out my train was cancelled and that the next one was delayed.

Got that one to find out there were no spaces left for bicycles so I'm having to stand in a doorway.

Phoned my boss to tell him that I was going to be late to be told I have to go to another site which means I'll miss an old army friend's funeral this afternoon.

And you lot are getting your panties in a twist over toy spaceships?

Cheers

Don't personally like the new expansion?

Fine. All kinds of OK. Valid opinion.

Think FFG should release literally anything else?

You are demonstrably wrong.

How DOES one gamble with a tuba, anyway?

Some guys use sunglasses to hide behind. I use a tuba. Plus, you can play Jabba's theme to distract the other players.

WHY FFG!?

Why did you give us the Poe Dameron repaint and tiny remodel that we've all been repainting and thinking would happen!

Why did you give us Rey and other characters to pilot an updated falcon with an updated sensor dish, that we were certain would happen and have done ourselves!?

Why, FFG!? Why would you do this horrible, terrible thing!?

How dare you attempt to get new players who enjoyed The Force Awakens into your game!

They clearly have bad taste in movies if they liked that hopelessly samey remake of the greatest and original star wars film! Why would you appeal to them, instead of what I want, but what the market demands instead, and things that are a good idea to mack off of for solid, fair cash!

Why aren't you pandering to me FFG? Why are you bending over for the mouse! It's shameless! Oh, FFG, how could you do this! You were once such a perfect company, who released only perfect waves! I was sure that by wave three this game would die a terrible death but then THE FARCE AWAKENS comes out, and you ruined it all!

HOW COULD YOU FFG!?

HOW COULD YOU DO GOOD THINGS FOR BOTH YOURSELF AND YOUR COMMUNITY!?

YOU TRULY ARE THE WORST COMPANY EVER!!!

if you really don't get by now that this is satire then please go away from the forum for the sake of humanity itself and its continued existence

DAT... DAT... DATS!!!

As you could ever hit Jar Jar a performer with 5 ranks in dodge and force enhanced dodge ability and coordination dodge.

He is literally harder to hit than most jedi masters.

Well played sir. Well played indeed.

I don't blame people for complaining about being sold ships we already own for new upgrades. I don't mind buying another Falcon, but I'm not everyone. It's similar to why people complained about the TIE Advanced fix being included with the Raider.

And I don't blame people for complaining about other ships not getting fixes. I think the game is fairly balanced overall even with some ships lagging behind, but I can understand why T-65 and non-Corran E-Wing fans feel like they're being neglected.

Complaints about the source material on the other hand are hilarious. Dash Rendar's a cheap knockoff Han Solo with a stupid Rob Liefeld costume from an awful novel and a middling video game. IG-88's four variants are detailed in one of the most infamously bad EU stories. Even if you somehow think the Force Awakens is worse than Kevin J Anderson-penned garbage, let's not whine about cool new stuff because it comes from a story you don't like, especially when said story is the most popular Star Wars thing in the past decade.

QUIET, YOU FOOL! Lest the Mouse's gaze rest upon the T-Wing and see the Dollar Sign therein.

(Seriously, some of the EU stuff is just so hilariously bad)

Whatever man

I'm just calling it how I see it

I'm not belittling anyone

Hmmmm. That's funny, I could have sworn I saw...

I find it hard to believe grown men can act this way.

Childish Is what this is

OK.

So basically unless you are a sheep and follow what the majority thinks then you have no place to voice your opinions

Right...

People need to grow up, and sad as it is, a 30-40 year old man getting upset or being bother by what someone else thinks in regards to plastic space ships is pretty sad

Um...

Maybe they should get out more, and get a life

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaah.

Your post remind me of something a 6 year old would do on the playground. If you want to post something, why not be a little more mature about it.

I mean...

Maybe try and have a intelligent conversation about it instead of belittling those who dont follow the crowd

You... don't actually know what "belittling" means, do you?

I mean, it's not like I 100% disagree with you. But holy **** do you ever have no grounds whatsoever to criticise anyone else's tone.

Some guys use sunglasses to hide behind. I use a tuba. Plus, you can play Jabba's theme to distract the other players.

Hmmm, interesting. I'm guessing you could also use it to help bluff - you know, play a sad little note or two on it when you're actually holding two Kings, that kind of thing...

So, how has your Monday morning been so far? Well to be honest, pretty pants. Slept in so that meant I missed my early morning run. I got to the train station to find out my train was cancelled and that the next one was delayed.

Oh dude, I'm sorry. That really sucks.

Having been a long time player of 40K, it's good to see that even as player transition to other games, the poop-post threads like this never stop.
