Wargame Culture, etc.
1. What do you think of the Marvel TV Show?
2. Is it better to role-play Colonial miniatures or stricly do them as a miniatures game?
3. What do you do when you find your gaming opponent cheats?
4. How do you deal with personality clashes in a gaming group?
5. What is the best war movie? Western? Science fiction?

1. I started watching it and then stopped. It was "meh" but you can tell they just want money and have no clue where they are going with it. I might try watching it again but I think I'll stick with the other shows I watch.Wag-A-Tail wrote:1. What do you think of the Marvel TV Show?

2. I enjoy role-playing my miniatures, I make up a cool fluffy story about the battle and, although it's usually in my head the whole time, I role-play it out as the battle goes on. I enjoy campaigns too, and in everyone I have my "General" which is "me" in that world LOL.
3. The group I play with are very close (we all have children that play together kind of close) and we aren't the kind of people who cheat in a game. Sometimes misunderstanding come up or different views on a rule, but we always talk about it as a group and never create tension when it is not needed. If, however, someone did belatedly cheat, we would address it maturely.
4. It's funny we actually have a wide arrange of personalities in our gaming group. We find it brings more to the games, as we never know what to expect. We have never really had a personality clash though, but I expect if it happened we would once again address it maturely.
5. I am not a fan of "War" movies, if by war you mean movies depicting World War 2 or [insert army] vs [insert army]. I am not a fan of Westerns either, the only one I actually enjoyed was the one (mind is pulling a blank) where it's more of a comedy and the new sheriff is black... I'm sure I'll remember later.... But no, I do not enjoy Westerns at all. As for Sci-fi movies, I am a great fan of the Alien movies... which is probably why I have such a large Tyranid army... although Starship troopers is good too.

Re: Wargame Culture, etc.
Well... Eleventy could be said derives from LoTR, its opening scene revolving around Bilbo's "eleventy" birthday. So in a way, you didMagickalMemories wrote:Well, at least my answer isn't regurgitated out of SOMEONE ELSE's book.kturock wrote:Wrong. The answer is ALWAYS 42.

Or is it the urban slang for the over-use of exclamation marks?originally derived from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Bilbo Baggin's eleventy-first birth day was the setting of the opening chapter. Since used by people all over the world.
Bilbo reached the ripe old age of eleventy-one.
A commonly used mockery of 1337 talkers, derived from the over-use of exclamation marks after a declaration. Since many people preferred using the Caps-Lock to the shift key, they would be unskilled with the shift key (if such a thing is possible) and it would end up coming out as !!!1!!!!111!!!! or things along that line. "Eleventy" or "Eleventy-one" refers to the groupings of ones located in an overly long string of exclamation marks.

Re: Wargame Culture, etc.
As someone who's never read LotR (cannot STAND his writing style), I never heard of it outside of when I "made up the term" independently.
As someone ignorant of most urban slang (What is 1337?), it wouldn't have come from whatever that is.

Re: Wargame Culture, etc.
Rule 34 isn't so much an answer as just a universal truth.

If you are not going to post a reference for me, please explain why, maybe I can fix it!

I'm not challenging you, I'm just curious.
Also, I've been using the "number" since I was in high school (and I'm over 40, now). So, it was before the movie, anyway.
I'm disappointed, though, that the "original" idea I had was not so original. LOL
