On a scale of 1 (terrible) to 10 (excellent), how would you rate yourself as a player? |

11 – but other players probably rate me somewhat lower
|
Sane Max | 02 Feb 2012 4:59 a.m. PST |
12 – in fact, that's what my Fire and Fury Dice go up to. Coincidence? yes. Pat |
Angel Barracks | 02 Feb 2012 5:03 a.m. PST |
Rate in what way? Proficient at winning Gentlemanly conduct Careful with other peoples miniatures Gracious in defeat Gracious in victory Patient other |
20thmaine | 02 Feb 2012 5:05 a.m. PST |
All those. And more. 1, 10, 10 , 5. Take the mode. Gives 10. |

-1. I'm a terrible player, but I have fun :) |

1 Don't really play anything and when I do I am awful |
6sided | 02 Feb 2012 5:13 a.m. PST |
10 – I can't stop bedding women. That's what you meant by a player right? Jaz 6sided.net – Start Your Blog Now! |

9. That gives room for people to insist I am too modest and I am realy a 10. In fact, modesty may be my only flaw. |

As Angel Barracks says, rate against what? In terms of skill, somewhat variable depending on period. I am quite good at set piece attacks in WW1 and WW2 and Soviet Cold War offensive operations. I seem to be having a bad run at nineteenth century stuff and with Ancients I am middling. |
cfielitz | 02 Feb 2012 6:57 a.m. PST |
3. Most people can defeat me. |
Barks1 | 02 Feb 2012 7:03 a.m. PST |
4- I go down, but with a fight. |
mad monkey 1 | 02 Feb 2012 7:33 a.m. PST |
Variable, depending on alcohol intake. |
Old Slow Trot | 02 Feb 2012 7:50 a.m. PST |
6-8. Skilled,but sometimes do the unexpected with varied results. |

I'm a terrible player. I don't try to weasel the rules, and I consider whether I would, for example, run out into the open if I was the figure. I don't look for obscure exceptions to the rules to screw my opponent over. I hope that my opponent is thinking the same way and is getting more enjoyment out of the game than the result. Of course, when I run into the officious malcontent who is there to win at all costs, I make it my goal in life to not only defeat them, but to do it with elan and in the most complete way ever witnessed by anyone on Earth. |
richarDISNEY | 02 Feb 2012 8:32 a.m. PST |
7. I like to think I am a decent bloke at the table, but my tactics and dice rolling stink.
|
Caesar | 02 Feb 2012 8:35 a.m. PST |
8 in terms of being agreeable to play with. 5 in terms of win ratio. 2 in terms of luck with dice. |
ashauace6970 | 02 Feb 2012 8:36 a.m. PST |
About 7 on attack,10+ on defense |
Dropzonetoe | 02 Feb 2012 8:47 a.m. PST |
5 if we are going for winning
but I also enjoy underdog scenarios and playing the losing side. The recent comments about Tomorrows War scale imbalance between skill/tech levels has me really wanting to play a game with the lowest skill vs the highest with me playing the low guys! When I lose I'll do it with a smile on my face and kudos to my opponent – so a 10 in that. My dice are horrible on the average and hot on the long shot Grots VS a greater Deamon
. Yes I will win that fight with my Grots
all my elite oh they will die to the terrain, misfires, and poor armour saves! So a 2(3 for longshots)
Supplying the games, board, and figures I am a 9 but would sometimes like to be a 5 :) |
ming31 | 02 Feb 2012 8:55 a.m. PST |
5 win as much as I lose but I always have fun with my friends |
Sergeant Paper | 02 Feb 2012 9:47 a.m. PST |
I'd be a 10, because Chicks dig me, my ride is fly, my threads is reet, and I'm all that, but my wife says I'm a 1 |

10 for being there for the game. 9 for looking after the miniatures. 8 for having fun. 7 for bring the snacks. 6 for knowing/interpreting the rules. 5 for losing/winning. 4 for impatience. and that's as far as I wish to descend ;-) |
Farstar | 02 Feb 2012 10:57 a.m. PST |
Sportsmanship – 8 (I have my lapses
) Tactics – 6-7 (know some, not a pro) Rules Knowledge – 8-9 (good but not encyclopedic) Rules Synthesis – 7 (some optimization, but nowhere near some people I know) |
Altius | 02 Feb 2012 11:11 a.m. PST |
Are we talking winning/losing or are talking about sportsmanship? My win/loss record kind of evens out. I'm sometimes very bad, (maybe a 2 or 3) most often I am fair (like a 6 or 7), and on a few, rare, glorious moments, I am a living god (10). If we're talking sportsmanship, I'm a solid 10. I always put on a clean shirt before the game and generally try to avoid committing obnoxious hygienic faux pas. I'm deferential, friendly and patient. I treat other people's figures the way I'd want mine treated. I never yell, lose my cool, or throw things. It's just a game, after all. |
Saber6 | 02 Feb 2012 11:12 a.m. PST |
7-8 But it is not about the winning |
edmuel2000 | 02 Feb 2012 11:26 a.m. PST |
Somewhere between 1-6, 1-8, 1-12, 1-20, depending on the dice |
sneakgun | 02 Feb 2012 11:29 a.m. PST |
I am an excellent player, good sport, read rules, bring painted figs, dice terrain; I just don't win very many games. It's about camaraderie not winning. |

Unrated at this time but could eventually end up a PG or PG13, depending upon the rating committee. |
Sundance | 02 Feb 2012 11:52 a.m. PST |
Depends on the genre but I'd say 5 to 7 depending, tactically. As far as gamesmanship, closer to a 9 though the occasional opponent does try my patience. |
