Would you still consider the company the spawn of the Devil?

If GW rescued my puppy from a burning buiding, I would expect them to

a) Offer me the puppy a limb at a time for £300.00 GBP a pop
b) give me 3/4 of the puppy, and then stop selling Fido completely
c) Everytime I walked past a fire, leap out and ask me what puppies I was into, say "Wow that's great Have you seen these new Kttens?" and then stand there in smelly silence having run out of things to say
d) People would laugh and point at me when I walked my dog.

Dynaman878917 Feb 2012 8:30 a.m. PST

I don't have a puppy.

Dropzonetoe Fezian17 Feb 2012 8:32 a.m. PST

Dynaman – Did it burn in a building?

Connard Sage17 Feb 2012 8:32 a.m. PST

I don't have a puppy.

Can we interest you in the Space Marine Mongrel? Only £754.00 GBP

It's in the new codex.

John the Greater17 Feb 2012 8:34 a.m. PST

I'd toss the mutt back in.

GoneNow17 Feb 2012 8:36 a.m. PST

By the time you house break it, it will be replaced with a new litter and no one will let your "outdated" puppy play with their brand new one.

Sane Max17 Feb 2012 8:41 a.m. PST

If you are going to keep targetting individual companies in polls like this I am going to start a "If John the OFM Rescued your puppy from a burning building…..' Poll.

I don't consider them this to begin with.

Jovian117 Feb 2012 9:03 a.m. PST

Really? The entire company runs into the burning building to rescue a puppy all at the same time? It would probably look like this: link

What John the greater said – 'cos it's the kind of sarky comment I pride myself on.

What AB said – 'cos I agree with it.

Titchmonster17 Feb 2012 9:16 a.m. PST

Is it the "regular" puppy or the new "fine" puppy?

Connard Sage is onto something. But his pricing is a little low.

streetline17 Feb 2012 9:17 a.m. PST

I bought some spray last weekend from GW. It was faulty. They sent me a new one, it arrived Tuesday. They're ok by me at the moment.

I did notice the new LOTR books have gone from 12 quid in WD to 15 quid in the shop though…

OldGrenadier at work17 Feb 2012 9:27 a.m. PST

I would say "Thank you" and walk on.

epturner17 Feb 2012 9:31 a.m. PST

If John the OFM rescued my puppy, he wouldn't ask for money, but I might switch to Comcast, 'til his commission hit anyway, and buy him a Lager or three.

Of course, I've got two 50lb beagles, so he might need the beer after that.

I prefer cats. Who cares if they aren't allowed on a tournament table.

Feet up now17 Feb 2012 10:05 a.m. PST

What!! That little Hellhound started the bloody Fire!!

Rogzombie Fezian17 Feb 2012 10:51 a.m. PST

You mean they are still in business? GW I mean, not the puppy.

Elven Safety wins the thread!

Personal logo Gungnir Supporting Member of TMP17 Feb 2012 12:05 p.m. PST

Depends. Is it a pre-slotta puppy?

richarDISNEY17 Feb 2012 12:05 p.m. PST

Since I don't find GW to be evil….
beer

CeruLucifus17 Feb 2012 1:17 p.m. PST

LOL.

Grizzlymc17 Feb 2012 1:58 p.m. PST

I think it's a heroic 28mm puppy, but GW won't let you use 1:48 puppies until the new codex comes out.

And for 1508 quid you can have the new power armour puppy with twin laser blasters.

Streitax17 Feb 2012 2:06 p.m. PST

How much for the sharks with frickin' laser beams on their head?

Derek H17 Feb 2012 3:34 p.m. PST

How could a company rescue a puppy from a burning building?

epturner17 Feb 2012 3:39 p.m. PST

Derek;
Hand over hand, of course.

No sharks, Streitax. Just Sea Bass. But they are ill-tempered Sea Bass.

Eric

highlandcatfrog18 Feb 2012 9:46 a.m. PST

Why are they ill-tempered? Did someone use them for the Fish Slapping Dance?

Klebert L Hall18 Feb 2012 9:51 a.m. PST

I would say "thank you".

What I said on the FOW poll.

Gennorm18 Feb 2012 10:28 a.m. PST

I don't play any of their games – although I have in the past – and find them no more evil than any other medium to large organisation. I'd be curious as to what they were doing in my village mind.

Grizzlymc18 Feb 2012 10:51 a.m. PST

I would refuse to pay the invoice.
