"Round 1 - World Cup of Wargaming Pet Hates" Topic

Here we go, the Yarkshire Gamer World Cup of Wargaming Pet Hates starts today.

This is an information post which shows the overall draw and the detailed draw for Round 1 which was made on the latest episode of the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast.

RULES

Each vote will appear on the Yarkshire Gamer FB page and the Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Facebook Group. I will not share the votes links here but feel free to share onwards if you think there is interest. Yes I'm aware not everyone is on FB but as discussed ad nauseum I've not found a viable alternative.

Each match up will have its own vote and one vote will be started each day, I can't guarantee a start time due to work but I will try and set them off between midday and 6pm Yorkshire Time.

There will be an explanation of the organisers meaning included on each of the votes as some definitions have had to be considerably shortened to fit on the graphics below.

Each vote will last 72 hours, the hate with the most votes will proceed to the next round. Any draws (yes it has happened) will be subject to a 1 hour penalty shoot out vote at a time TBD but prior to the start of the next round.

Please enjoy the World Cup, we've had some great fun over the years doing this. Let's have loads of comments and interaction but please be polite with each other. Some will no doubt fail to see the humour in this and that's fine, but it is fun and Yarkshire Gamer might not be for you 😄

This was always designed to be those little things that maybe are unique to you and was inspired by the Wargames Room 101 feature from the Yarkshire Gamer Podcast, a perfect example would be Giles Allison's entry "Unpainted Flag Edges" it's a small thing but for some reason it sends my blood pressure into space, the bad thing is that now I've mentioned it, you won't be able to not see it again.

Team Round Dice for the win, from your none biased organiser 👍

Thanks for joining in and I'll see you at the start line later today

Match Up one will appear hear soon

Love to see how this turns out!

Rivet Counters are those who are obsessive about detail and point out the one Panzer IV F that's out of place on a 72 ft table with 200 tanks on, or the colour on your imaginations Fusilier Battalion cuffs.

Slow Players are those who take 2 hours to set up for a 3 hour game or just take forever to do anything, they aren't indecisive they are just slow !

Great start. Sadly I've been both at some time or the other.

My wargaming pet hate is when the cat rearranges the figures while the players take a snack break.

Where can I find the Vegas odds for this action?

Stryderg, that would be really funny lol I'll have 5 pounds on Table Clutter

Rules with no Index are, well rules with no index

Doorstep Bases are where the base is grossly disproportionate in comparison with the figures, get voting now

It's time to vote in match up 3, everyone hates a cheat but do excessive Game Counters drive you mad ? Casualty Markers, order chits, move arrows, disorder Counters, it can make ur beautiful terrain look like a backgammon board, vote now

Why should I care if somebody else uses doorstep bases? It's their aesthetic decision, as with the rest of the presentation for their figs.

Am I missing something?

Leaving aside the exaggerated example as pictured, reasonably thick bases have the advantage of encouraging / enabling people to pick the models up by the base rather than the figs.

Evilgoing,

I think you may have misunderstood "Pet Hates" if Doorstep Bases don't unnerve you then you would vote for the other !

There is a level of humour here which may not translate lol

Match Up 4 is up and running, do Unpainted #Miniatures pull your strings more than Maxing Out Points Lists (which the kids tell me is how one wins with DaOrcaBusterChopperCopterCannon in 40k)
