If you are ready for some college level reading about the nature of 40k then I have the article series for you! Danny Internets over at Bald and Screaming has put together a beautiful primer about all the components surrounding competitive play. The reading at times can be a little dense, so read not skim as you may miss some important points Danny is trying to make.
Here are the links to the articles so far:
Prologue
The False Dichotomy
The Competitive Gamer
The Six-Fold Path
Lucky You!
I suggest at the very least read “The False Dichotomy” it does a great job of explaining the differences between competitive players.
Questions for Comment:
- How have you dealt with WAAC players?
- Is it possible to be the Greek Ideal gamer?
- How often do you see luck used as an excuse for bad play?
