Dummys that dont want to read the rules…

Is it really sporting to make fun of adults who can’t seem to comprehend a game for 12-year-olds and up?

Yes it is.

yes because people who know nothing about it will use their impression as a true indication of what the game could be …. and never try it. We have to set them right to indicate this is a false conclusion or the people who are just getting into the game will pass right on by. Its like bad publicity for games.

somebody should film a game session and re-enact the monologue to make them look like idiots and post it.

No, no it isn’t.

It isn’t sporting to make fun of the mentally retarded.  Nor is it sporting to make fun of those that lack taste.  A lot of things aren’t sporting these days.

Luckily for me, I am not a sportsman.

It isn’t “like” bad publicity for games.  It IS bad publicity for games.

@Krieghund:

Yeah, take it easy on them.  After all, it is “the most complicated game, and frustrating game, ever played”.  It has 39 pages of rules!

Three words.

Dungeons and Dragons.

Their heads explode!  lol.

snort!

Maybe THAT is why I find it so ridiculous…

I am an OLD SCHOOL AD&D player…  First Edition, with the 2nd Ed non-weapon prof’s added.

That means my rule set is 14 hardbound books, 100 issues of Dragon Magazine, and a plethora of house rule interpretations that seek to deal with such issues as movement and areas of effect on hex grid, as well as determining just how many temporary magical effects are impacted by a single Dispel Magic…

Not counting my lead figures, my “travel” AD&D kit weighs 68 pounds…  My main set is one entire book case.

A&A is child’s play by comparison.

So I stop by Barnes and Noble today, and sure enough there is AAR on a table for $45. 
(As low as $25 on EBay btw http://cgi.ebay.com/AXIS-ALLIES-by-AVALON-HILL-HASBRO-REVISED-ED-WWII_W0QQitemZ130218830260QQihZ003QQcategoryZ158731QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Anyway, I discovered the confusion.  It was sitting next to such jems as “Hello Kitty: Shopping Spree”  I think they just grabbed the wrong game….

I agree.

[Crazy Ivan]

Zero Pilot,
Way too cool!
You better not show anyone else how you did that though, cuz it will be everywhere. And that would just be too much coolness for this site. We need to maintain some lower coolness standards or there will be all kinds of people just cruzin our threads looking for only coolness and not good advice on how to play a better game of AA.
But I gave you a +1 Karma too.
  C.I.  :-D
