So I got blacklisted

[tadaka]

Been playing games for a long time and this is a new one for me so looking for some advice. Local henchman group decided to blacklist me from play. They are about to run a 4 month league so everyone will want to play that. Basic situation as I understand it is I am tocompetitive to be in there group. People seam to enjoy playing me and never had any one refuse to play me when I asked. If not for the league I could care less but this is going to kill any ability to play. Should I pack it in sell off my stuff?

Thanks for any advice.

Seems a bit odd to me if nobody else is objecting to playing you.

Why not ask them if you can play but be excluded from scoring yourself. So people would get league points for games played against you but you would score zero every game regardless of the actual result. That way you're not dominating the league and get games in

I can't really comment on the nature of your play-style, but that seems a tad too harsh in any circumstance, to be honest. I as a henchman would never refuse to let a player play in any of my events because they are "too competitive", the idea is to get as many people to play the game as possible. It's the nature of the beast, your going to encounter people who take the game to a higher level of competition. You shouldn't sell your stuff unless you know there is a 100% chance you'll never play the game again. Hopefully it works out so you won't have to, the game is too good and it would be a shame to see a player "quit" based on being blacklisted from events.

I'd talk to them, see what the real deal is, and what they would expect from you to become 'un-blacklisted.

I tried they wont take my calls. Nor respond to email

send an email over to wyrd to justin or drew. see what they say, maybe they can get in touch with the henchman in your area and talk to him. couldnt hurt to try.

sometimes we need a middle man for stuff

good luck

Yeah, that just doesn't seem right. It's making it sound like the henchman himself is the one who doesn't want you in the league and not the players. Nonetheless, I don't have the full picture so I will echo the suggestion to contact Justin. At the very least, you're due an exact reason what you've done wrong so you can at least address it and attempt to correct it if it's true and honest.

That's rough-- I'd at least expect an explanation, as that would allow you to change, or at least get an idea of what's going on...

Maybe you can do can try to talk through it and come to a compromise? Maybe try to pick out a weaker selection/some sort of handicap? It's not ideal, but might be a way to play where it's more enjoyable...

I have known he was not happy with my level of play relative to the group. In the past he asked that I not play NB. I went along with it and have not played them in any of the events sense then. Also in local play I have been giving myself a 5ss handycap for about a month now. I still win most games but they have been closer.

Just for the record hes not a bad guy. I have thought of him as a friend up until this point.

Sorry to hear that...

I dunno, do you build really nasty lists, or do you just play well enough that people can't go up against you? If the former, you could use generally perceived to be weaker models, or otherwise build weaker/less synergistic lists. If the latter, I don't have any thoughts-- it's pretty hard to play down.
