Seriously guys, chill out. There are thousands of people around the globe enjoying this game as much as they can even with the restraints on the current game, and yet there's some vocal players intent on being reasonable about discussing possible changes to make the game better at all costs (and letting everybody know about it in the process).

Why care about the game you love so much? Why let your desire for a better game get in the way of having a time that isn’t as good as it maybe could be? Why get yourself stuck in a vicious circle of enjoying the game while also discussing how it can be better?

Don't take things so seriously. Enjoy the game for what it is, and never ask how it can be better. It's a game of toy spaceships. And multicoloured dice. We should be satisfied with that and not ever ask or discuss what positive growth the game can make.

Nice

My only hope is this gets copy pasta’d a 2nd time into something totally off the wall. That’s when you know things are headed in a good direction.

Preferably about breakfast.

Everyone to everyone: "I'm not sure what all this trouble is about, but I'm sure it must be your fault."

Me: "I like the sound of that."

GF: "I don't know where you get your delusions, lazerbrain."

Edit - OK, my original response was itself pretty snarky, but why are you comparing negativity to discussion and feedback? There is a pretty clear and distinct difference between the two, after all.

Rules debate and discussion about the game certainly doesn't need to be an inherently negative experience, so why make out that it is?

it's almost Trump-esque!

What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a particularly fine example of a strawman argument. Note in particular how "Negativity" has magically been transposed into "caring, discussion and growth", all wrapped up in a crunchy passive-aggressive shell. Kudos @Kdubb - it's almost Trump-esque!

Personally I'm advising all of my clients to put everything they have into canned food and shotgun shells.

And Britain voted to leave the EU, both of which leads me to believe that maybe there was some merit to the ideas in Logan's Run after all.

All these threads just made me think of this...

How do I get my name on the ballot?

If elected, I promise to nerf Nym; new waves every 60 days; errata on demand; and together we will make Imperials great again.

I dunno man, their meta is WEIRD. Seriously, there was a Punisher in their Top 8 cut at nationals. What the heck is wrong with those weirdos?

If they managed to get an Imperial list into their top 8, I think those are exactly the guys we are looking for.
