No offense Mark, but do you really think that asking someone to show
up on time for a game, and place terrain and troops in a timely
matter, and actually keeping his attention on the game, is too
extreme?

Hell, I guess the Carolina Panthers should have showed up 1:42 late
for the Super Bowl. They would be the Champs!

Placing terrain and troops just has to be something that can be done
in a reasonable time. I think three or four tournaments ago, I played
a guy that sat and stared at the board for a good ten minutes before
he placed a single terrain choice or unit. Believe it or not, the
game was half over by the time we started bound one. In a four hour
game, we completed two, thats right TWO bounds! The very next game, I
was playing on the next table over and this guy did the same exact
thing to someone else and knocked a guy out of his first chance to
ever make the playoffs.

I agree 100% that we don't want make the game a pressure cooker, but
does that mean a person has the right to waste his opponents time?

As far as friends go ... I have them too and like to see them when I
travel. That's what breakfast, lunch, dinner and after hours beer
establishments are for.

Just my hard-ass opinions ... Greg
