I really do hope Dave is wrong on this one

Hammy if this is what Dave normally plays like I would not waste my time with him unless you are really desperate for opponents.

Why should Hammy lose out on the magic that is wargaming with Dave Ruddock.

Dave is the Karl Pilkington of FoG.

You don't actually know them do you - they give as good as each when playing each other, but wouldn't do it to others

Aw shucks

Actually Dave will try to pull every bit of cheese he can imagine if he is playing Tim Porter just to wind Tim up

The game was the semi final of the club FoG tournament so I had little choice of who to play

[dave_r]

Yeah. He didn't see what Hammy was pulling either.

[dave_r]

And who is Karl Pilkington?

Understandable

Well, unless they knew them just as well and they were deserving - you and me for instance

Its point scoring, showing how clever/sneaky you are against your good mates (and the boy Porter) - not to be done against people you don't know.

They are both very good players and its well worth watching them playing as well as playing both them, I have learnt a lot from playing both even losing to both them, and to be honest they must keep this for when they play each other neither did it when I have played them

[donkiesrus2003]

True, I don't know them or how they get along with each other.

It seemed a very friendly game when i was watching it

For anyone who was arguing with me about FoG players, or gamer's behavior in general I have two words for you:

Case

and

Point

[dave_r]

What? From the fact of the eye witness who said it was a friendly game with a bit of banter going on?

I presume you prefer to play in a Library. If you play at all.

It's typical gamer behavior that is only allowed in the narrow confines of the gamer world. It's behavior that would get you fired from a job or beat up at the bar, and that ensures you will never bring a girl back to your mother's basement. Reminds me of watching DBM guys with 17 different angles of measuring sticks trying to figure out how to do some funky move.

I typically play FoG with my special needs cat Fluffybuns. He doesn't have a very tight grip of the rules, but he will occasionally enhance the terrain with a carefully placed hairball!

[peterrjohnston]

Keep this civil please.

Well, I've kept out of this so far, but since I've had a beer:
1. I didn't know a hairball needed a moderators intervention, thanks for keeping us in line Peter.
2. Dave and Hammy play each other all the time and were involved in a lot of the testing. Its a pity it took them so bloody long to find these gaps in the rules. Instead of bringing them up earlier when it would have been useful they air them now just for an argument*.
3. Dave could not play in a library he is far toooooo LOUD. He is probably jealous of those that are allowed to, or know how to be polite and keep their voice down.
4. The evade move is probably bollocks due to base shifting, but the rules on kinked columns need tightening
5. Karl Pilkington is Ricky Geravais's dad and therefore a cock.

It has been entertaining - keeping me smiling on and off throughout the day - and value for money to since my marginal cost is 0.

As for the hairball...we do not yet know if it was a civil or uncivil hairball and hence the need for intervention. Perhaps we need a rule modifcation to tighten up civil-uncivil hairball discrimination.

I think people as you say that don't know Dave and Hammy might take this for real I think as you say they are just being sneaky against each other just cause they can this is not a reason to think FOG player always argue

Sorry but I was there there was laughs micky taking and the fact that Hammy thought Dave had writen version two of FOG without telling him it seemed again a good game to watch.
