My bad. You may speak but I'm staying out. I don't like you very much.

Lock requested? I didn't realize that this was a forum that barred free speech! Has everyone in this forum become snobs? Is there no room for innovation left at all? I've rarely been insulted so quickly for defending myself and my own ideas. Perhaps you are quite happy talking to each other as a private club, but why then is this a public forum that allows eveyone to sign up and speak their mind?

when people start using foul language a thread should be locked

Yeah. Some of us were bummed when Sr. didn't let us finish.

Don't let one or two people speak for the whole group ION. I don't like your kickoff table either, but I certainly don't have a problem with you presenting new ideas in principle.

This is the "new concepts" section, that's what it's for. We wouldn't have such a section if we didn't want people to present "new concepts" here. At the same time, however, don't expect every single "new concept" produced to get rave reviews; nobody has to LIKE anything anyone says.

However, it's spelled "Variant".

I like the idea of sorting the events such that higher values are good for the kicking team and lower values are good for the receiving team. However, you put quick snap on a high number, and that's not good for the kicking team.

Why is is that as soon as someone disagrees with your idea, you become belligerent?

The % chance for Quick Snap and High Kick were not changed. If no one minds one of those being at a lower % chance, then you could shift it below 7 with 2d6.

Snew told me to "f*ck off". That has nothing to do with disagreement, its a personal attack. If he didn't like my idea, he could have just voted instead of insulting me.

When I explained how the % chance was preserved for the defence, that was in response to those posting that I had changed the chances of Blitz and PD.

I didn't attack you because of your idea. I attacked you because you said this.

I applaud your innovative-ness but abhore cards, the lock request was no tagainst your idea but to prevent flaming to kick off.

Sigh, and it had been so peaceful of the board recently.

Snew and ION, please behave. If you can't act civil to each other, please don't post on the other's threads, or reply to their posts.

Hopefully, 'nuff said.

As for the suggestion - get's a thumbs-down from me to.
Nothing wrong with having the weather change on the main table, and I'm sure the game would be more boring if there weren't the "ridiculous" changes in waether (4 in one half!) that we've all suffered.

Hey Si, if you would stop getting scored on then maybe there would be less chance of the weather changing all the time...

3-0 to my lizzies at the half!

Shame my lizard tourney team never played that well!

Out of four stars, how do you rank my suggestion?
