An older one this time, but one I enjoyed reading.
A Cheating Debate is brewing again, I suppose, but not today. lol
Bit concerned about the guys' lack of material after Xmas though...perhaps they're on a break?
Shame.
EDITED in a link. Goddamn slippery links...lol
EDIT2: Thanks to you cocking up my scheduling, Winterous (!!!!!) this was my 100th BlogPost here on MWFTW. Thanks to all who have participated thus far, and thanks especially to my authors for their tireless devotion to quaility content. Well...to Zenos. :) Different special thanks to my regular contributors in the Comment forms, and to all my subscribers. Thanks to all those of you who read and don't comment too - I hope you get something from the experience. :)
Here's to another 100 posts, eh? (Looks at the 5 unfinished ones sitting in the Drafts section...) Let's hope I don't take so long to reach that milestone, either.

What is this I don't even...
Was there going to be a link involved? Or is perhaps this some sort of wacky teaser campaign?
King, you fail at linking :)
What do you mean I cocked up your scheduling?
And it's all cool, I'm totally a frequent contributor :D
I mean really, what can I contribute?
Tacticas aren't my thing, I'm more into discussion that telling people things.
Really all I can do is talk about the theoretical science behind things!
AND I'M REALLY GOOD AT THAT!
Is there really any debate? I mean, helpfull articles like this are classy and should be pointed out to the populace at large, but... debate?
Often, people disagree what exactly cheating is limited to - for example, I consider List Tailoring cheating.
Some people don't. Also, we differ on how to deal with cheats and cheating. I don't like Comp, I don't like Sportsmanship Scores, I also don't like a 'Behave or get out' policy much either. We can all lose our temper. I think a yellow card system may be best.
Grats on your post total TKE... well done man. Ty for letting me contribute.
I was happy to have you! :)
A debate it is, then!
Again, I'm used to the Magic mindset. Playing to the meta is a-ok, but you have to take a guess at the meta, and your matchups are still down to chance. "Hate" is a valid part of the metagame.
There are rules for what you can bring, and that's it. It may serve you poorly, most attempts to suicide on an arthetype that isn't vastly overrepresented is going to accomplish very little, but if you guessed the meta right... well, there's your jackpot right there.
That being said, in a league, etc. you should think it out and agree to rules, no matter what they are, for that eventuality. If you don't then you're just failing when setting up the league, just like any other blunder you could set up, like failing to mention that no, the new Killteam is a steaming pile and you meant "the KT from the 4th ed book" when trying to set up a playgroup would be.
As far as out and out on the table cheating goes: The DCI may be hardasses, but that works. You get warnings, you go out. The higher the level of competition the less leeway for anything ever there is. The chance of people getting with cheating itself helps ruin part of the game
True. If you so wish, I can do a post on this myself. lol
Later though, not today, either. :)
