So I got blacklisted

[tadaka]

Bit of both honestly. I play strong lists and i simply am a lot more exp then local playgroup.

I would contact Wyrd. Personally, I think that no one should be turned down from playing, no matter what their style is. You can always ask them to adjust or handicap themselves for a new player and a teaching moment. Other than that, it seems contrast to what Wyrd would want. I've always thought of this game and community to accept all people to play no matter what competitive level you have.

I hope things get worked out.

Wow... honestly, that makes me pretty mad. I can't imagine how you feel right now...

I hate to say "tattle on the henchman" but really, i can see defending a player who maybe didn't want to play against you, but to simply tell you that you cannot play? That seems like a slap in the face to what Henchman are supposed to do... :/

Bring a pandora filth list and ruin the game for me... cool. at least we both got to play... right? i mean... is that not the point of the game? to play it...

I'm sorry to hear this happened man. If you're ever in Indianapolis, hit us up... we're more than happy to get a game in.

(yeah, i follow rebecca around on these forums...)

Questions.

Is the Henchman taking part in the league?

Do you regularly beat him at Malifaux?

In all seriousness though, this is a definite poor show. (Assuming there is no other side of the story)

Absolutely agree with getting in touch with Justin. There's definitely both sides to this story, but this just is upsetting. Asking someone to tone down lists is one thing, telling them that they're in no way welcome to the event is another.

In fairness we don't know what the justification is as the other party/parties haven't given their side of things.

That said, I don't think anyone should ever be blacklisted for simply playing a game 'to win' and on the face of it, it seems rather extreme to outright ban someone from a competition just becaus ethey're likely to win it, especially if that excludes that person from his or her local gaming scene.

I know its not a case of me beating him. He is very chill in his play. Like I said he is not a bad guy. There are 2 sides to every story and he may well think i am the antichrist. It could be other players find me a Jerk and they have asked him to blacklist.

"There's always three sides to every store: one guy's side, the other guy's side, and the truth somewhere in the middle." ;)

Hope talking to Justin works out for everyone involved.

I know, but I would think that if tadaka had done something serious enough to warrant being "black listed" then why would he come here, where this henchman could read his post, and tell us all what happened? Maybe i'm being naive here in assuming this guy isn't scamming us for our sympathy... who knows?

[tadaka]

Eh I am looking for advice on what to do at this point. If he wants to come post and say his side he is more then welcome to do so. I also asked my henchman for the playgroup I left when i had to move for advice. His main advice was talk to wyrd. I would like to work it out with the henchman but he has made it clear he does not want to talk to me at this point. I see 3 options. Try and build my own playgroup(i dont have time) Try and force my way in through getting wyrd or local store owner involved or move to a new game.
