Square in the black. It's funny because it's so true.

If ever a poll needed to be split into rounds…too many good choices

One of the poles started

Your doting Heart surgeon Father
this amused me as in a recent visit to a GW shop a man buying a fair bit of stuff was asked by the staff what he did and was answered heart surgeon.

The ojnes at the ass end of the table just got lost. Most of my picks were at the beginning.

I had to answer "no opinion" because I was exhausted just by reading the list.

Ya , more fun to read then vote on. Good stuff.

I couldn't find the "you actually understand all of the abbreviations in this poll" answer.

Chilledenuff26 Jun 2012 11:20 p.m. PST

Yep

I hope in true GW fashion this poll will be replaced by a new poll just as you get the hang of it, and you have to buy, erm, choose, a whole set of new options.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2012 5:30 a.m. PST

Good one streetline.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2012 5:54 a.m. PST

Have to agree – so many choices!

When I worked there, I did see numerous GW tattoos and one really seriously freaky fan boy named his sons middle name Marnius. I know of one set decorator that manages to work the Imperial Eagle into every single play/opera/show he does the sets for. There were also four people into cosplay that had armor suits, one fantasy Khorne, two Black Templar, and one Sisters of Battle.

The employees did tend to be hard core fan boys but I knew of a few that frequently used non-GW models, paints, etc under the table since some fanboy customers, not to mention bosses, would flip out if they saw non-GW stuff.

My buddy's 30 year old basement-dwelling stepson was hospitalized because he something similar to an epilietic fit when his mother cancelled his internet access. Apparently, he was hopelessly addicted to a forum called Portent and being cut off from it was too much to bear. He eventually recovered, and now he spends ten hours a day on a forum called Warseer.

Now that's a party!

How about – "If you post a poll on TMP about GW that is 5 pages long"

Personal logo Dances with Clydesdales Supporting Member of TMP01 Jul 2012 5:20 p.m. PST

Too many choices, I'm not even reading through this.

Wolfprophet Supporting Member of TMP01 Jul 2012 7:02 p.m. PST

I'd find this more offensive if I didn't sell my soul for 8 Crisis suits and a Tau battle force. grin
