These two articles, despite the limited number of people who've commented, have received a huge number of readers...<br /><br />...and may have cost me my spot in the blogrolls over at From the Warp! I've been emailing Ron about it this morning.<br /><br />He's been a perfect gentlemen about the whole thing, and I respect his position. As of now I'm not sure how its going to shake down, but either way he's given me something to think about.<br /><br />BrentBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426628265866457542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-86882945791056706772010-07-05T12:10:19.543-05:002010-07-05T12:10:19.543-05:00I like to think of myself as unrelated to your spe...I like to think of myself as unrelated to your spectrum. My joy in the game is found in playing armies guys on the far right find retarded and creaming them, while not trying to fit in on the far left (though I confess a certain degree of enjoyment of the history and background).<br /><br />I don't think it takes a genius (or even a guy with strong math skills) to figure out the theoretical maxima for any army, so I have little interest in that pursuit. I do think it takes a good player to get the most value on the tabletop, and that there is a disparity between the theoretical and practical value of most units, and that this difference will vary significantly between players.Jwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300981728444363555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-68155198771560681222010-07-05T09:15:17.281-05:002010-07-05T09:15:17.281-05:00Wow I never expected you to write so much in respo...Wow I never expected you to write so much in response. And you know what, the more I read what you write the more I'm gonna have to go ahead and forfeit the fact that you are probably right. Unicorns, per your definition, cannot exist due to the fact that men and women think on different spectrums (you can thank hormones and such for that) At first I took your definition to mean female hardcore gamers. <br /><br />One thing I did disagree with you on however, was the comment about switching to blood angels long ago. The way you say it seems to imply that every man who plays 40k should have done so. (At least by my interpretation of your meaning.) <br /><br />Also I would like to point out that I also play Eldar, Chaos Marines, and Tyranids. The last of which I started playing in January of this year when they were the new hotness. <br /><br />Thank you for your response and perhaps I will meet you on the tabletop one day.
